I've been doing P90x since the end of March. For the first cycle, I was doing my own program because I didn't want to do classic, but the lean program was basically nothing by cardio and I love strength training. So the next 90 day cycle, which begins June 16th, I'm going to do the classic program ( Read more... )

I have a lot of time on my hands now. That's great, because I still have a lot of weight to lose. It's been hard to find and keep a weight loss buddy, so I'm still going at it alone. I'm striving for 1-3 hours of intense workout 6 days a week. I'll try to keep this updated.

More bellydance today. Maybe tomorrow, I'll get back into sweat-inducing cardio. I took my measurements yesterday. I think I'll do that weekly to see how I'm progressing.

Did a 30 minute Bellydance workout. Really felt it in my arms an abs, but had to hold off on working out more because I hurt my ankle a little while ago.

When I think about how long I've had this journal, it makes me a bit sick. Because if I stuck with my diet and exercise plans then, I would have reached my goal weight long ago.

Instead, I've gained like 60 pounds in the past two years.

I have to do it!

But I've been eating better and exercising lately. I think I found a buddy, so there's that extra motivation.

My pants are sliding off of my ass, but right now I'm really focused on my upper body. I have a goal to be 2 dress sizes smaller by September. Here's hoping!

Went to the gym today for the first time in what seems like months. It wasn't one of my usual (or what you used to be usual) all-inclusive workouts. Just a short cardio session, but it was definitely a start. I hope to work out a bit tonight, but I'm working late so I'm not 100%. At least I'm doing okay on my food choices lately, and hoepfully that ( Read more... )

I'm starting a 12 week self-imposed challenge. It's bright and beautiful outside and I can't help but want to get outside and start moving.

I used to have this thing called willpower. Now, I guess I have to search for something else...

I need a buddy desperately. I thought I found someone, but that didn't work out. It sucks stomping on that treadmill alone. I hate the treadmill now, I used to love it. I don't even have the desire to do aqua aerobics anymore. The only thing I really ever want to do is strength train.

But Jillian Michaels' DVDs are fun.

Went to the gym this morning. Damn near had a heart attack on the treadmill, and shockingly had to decrease my incline. Then for strength training, I focused on legs ( Read more... )
