Starting Again!

So although I haven't kept with this blog, I have kept up with my fitness. I've lost about 13 pounds from the first day I started this metamorphosis and I feel amazing. I would love to loose just 5 pounds more, and in an amazing world where this is actually easy, 10 pounds; but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyway, I decided to jump back on the saddle and try this blog thing again and also try and start up the P90x regimen over the summer. I doubt my college nursing school schedule will allow for this blog/workout video commitment during the fall, which is fine by me. I was able to lose the weight I have so far by just eating more through out the day and cutting my serving sizes WAY down--oh! And by working out. Duh! I went to the gym on my college campus (being that it's free and convenient).

I also hope to start going to a boxing instruction facility in my area and learn some moves. Seems like it would be great for me to learn some self defense and build some upper body strength. All I have to do is call them up, and figure out what I'll need for my first day...that'll happen soon. Hopefully.

So! My first day was Thursday and I wasn't really off to a fantastic start. I didn't have time to complete the entire Chest and Back video but I did get to complete the Ab Ripper video. Yesterday, I went on a decent bike ride so I guess that'll count for Plyo. heh. And today is my next video! If I do have time, and I'm not too tired after work, I plan on fitting in that Plyo video just for good measure.

Here I go!

Day 48: Macaroni and Cheese

I haven't worked out since the 22, only because time has not allowed it. I have three final exams next week along with a paper on the Psalms of the Bible that's due. For the following week, I also have a packet/profolio of sorts due for my microbiology class. I doubt I'll be able to workout tomorrow either; so the next most likely day of working out will probably be the 27th. I'll probably go for a run because that'll take less time. Untill then.

Day 44: My hands are shaking

So today I was supposed to do Plyo but since I did that last Friday with my best friend and her boyfriend, I decided to go for a mile run instead. Not that I like to run, but I would rather do that than Plyo. Haha. I don't dred running as much as I used to, but I still don't like it. How could anyone like it? Anyway, I'm not too happy with my time. I completed the mile at 12:20--my freshmen year of highschool I could do it at about 9:25 and walk it the same time I just ran today. Of course then I had Phys Ed 5 times a week and we would go to the the track nearly every day. If I keep this running thing up, I want to have a time of 8:45...? Is that a reasonable goal? Let's see.

Day 43: Easing Into It...again

This morning I went on a measly 3 mile bike ride with my best friend/wife today. It felt good.
My diet has been pretty nutritious as well and I'm proud of myself.
And I guess I should get off of my butt and do the next video...maybe after I finish this sudoku. haha

So I started to do the Shoulders, Chest, and Triceps video with Kevin but he quickly dropped out which didn't help me much. I did most of the video but I wanted to end early (partly because I was tried of working out my arms) so that I could have enough energy to do the Ab Ripper video. And with the Ab Ripper video, I didn't apply myself 100% but that was partly because I had only just done this video yesterday.
Anyway, I'm proud of myself for keeping with it recently but I'm still a little depressed. I'm working on it though.

Day 42: It's Amazing

I'm still sore from doing Plyo this past Friday. Amazing.
Mondays are normally my rest days but since I haven't been working out at all (I apologize to everyone reading this) I'm going to do the Ab Ripper X video.
My diet today, although not part of the nutrition plan, has been extremlely good; hopefully I can maintain this new start. :)

I had to workout in the office so this is what I had for space to do the Ab Ripper video. The tv was taken by my mother and her Lifetime movies. haha.

Day 39: Really?! Already?!

I have NOT been working out. sigh. It truely depresses me. I want to. I do! I never imagined that it would be this hard.
I went for a run last week. And that actually felt good. I plan on doing that again whenever I get the chance.
I also did some plyometrics today and I realized that I really did loose a lot of my stamina that I had gained in the beginning. I'm loosing it and I don't like it one bit.
I've got to try harder but I just don't have any motiviation. And lately, I've been pretty depressed. I'm positive that working out would help alleviate that.
Anyway, I suppose I'll post some pictures of my "progress" so far. I do weigh less than what I did when I began, but I don't think I'm anywhere near where I'm supposed to be.

Here's to motivation.

Day 13: It's a Shame

I actually didn't get to work out yesterday >.>
I just didn't have enough time, ok?! I had to go to work. But since today is supposed to be my rest day, I've decided to do the Legs and Back video and the Ab Ripper X video as well. So that means, in total last week, I missed 3 days of working out! Oi. Never again, (I hope) I swear to you.

Hahaha. Don't even ask me about my diet either. Gosh...
