Day 0.... Again

So Ive not been on this since the start of May I think. Just want to say sorry about that especially to people who continued to view this daily. I don't really know what happened, I just got lazy again which sucked. Since I stopped working out Ive felt horrid, Ive sat around on my days off and not done much except play video games and eat junk food.

I did give myself a bit of an excuse, I fractured my left foot the middle part and it was giving me a lot of problem both at work because of being on my feet constantly and in the house were I needed to take the pressure off. I'm going to the doctors sometime this week to see if its ok and if anything else needs to get done, fingers crossed everything is ok.

For the past week I have been slowly cutting my calorie intake and upping my green tea and healthy foods which has made me feel a whole lot better. I also got a scale so I can weight myself, and I did on Monday and since September last year (last time I weighted myself) I haven't put any weight on but I also haven't lost any. So I don't really know if that result is good or not.

I'm hoping to start working out soon, hopefully sometime this week but I will need to be something light and doesn't put much pressure on my foot, maybe the static bike Ive got.

Oh and because I still don't feel like I'm getting a handle on my nutrition I'm thinking in joining weight watchers will my mother. Have any of you been to weight watchers? I hear good things about it but not too sure.

New Month New Start

So its now May, boy does time fly. So Ive still got this rubbish cold/chest infection. Its mostly just a really chesty cough now but its still annoying. I'm getting fed up of being in bed and not doing anything, that's me also missed 3 days wages.

So since I feel a little bit better I'm going to restart my diet/exercise tomorrow. I'm thinking today as day 0 again :( because Ive been unwell since Monday Ive been eating chicken noodle soup a lot as it seems to be the only thing I can handle, that and nutella lol.

I'm going to do things differently this time round, only taking photos on day 0, 30, 60 and 90. I'm also listening to the audio book just now tat helped me last time quit smoking and I'm going to listen to it once a week, probably a Sunday. Also for Lent I gave up fizzy juice and sugar in my tea and coffee I'm just going to carry that on and only drink water, I'm also going to drink more water.

No more sweets and chocolate, and If I do want anything like that I can only have it once a week. Also no more crisps, processed foods are going to be kept to a minimum. I'm also going to try and cook all my meals from scratch and maybe bulk make them and just freeze something for ease. Sticking to the diet nutrition plan of the program was really hard for me but I'm going to use myplate or something similar to track my calories.

Well I think I'm just rambling on just now, so Ill leave it there. I'm going to go listen to my book and play Pokemon.

P90x Day 29: Chest, tricep and shoulders + Ab Ripper X

So Ive lost my laptop charger at my bros house, so annoying so posting this from my different comp. Did today and it felt like the first day all over again, two week without ab ripper almost killed me. But I did it I complete the number of reps that the Kids do. I did need to pause a few times and catch my breath but it was ok after I finished.

Now Chest, Triceps and Shoulders was a different matter I was fucked 10 mins into the darn thing. Could barely do anything, I was so happy with my results of the third week being able to do 15 push-ups. In the first workout having to do 12 slow ones was murder I had to go down to my knees for the military ones. For the weighted exercises I went back down to 2.5. So wasn't very happy but it is the first week of the 2nd phrase so I don't mind much.

So I'm off, one of my neighbor bought me a bottle of champagne for my 21st and I must say after drinking it I don't like it. I hate wine and now I hate champagne, never tried it before now and I thought it would be different to wine but it ain't.

If you guys want to see my pictures that I uploaded today then go on to my photobucket account, Ive uploaded today's pictures just to see the difference two weeks have done. Ive gained INCHES!!!!! its a disaster but I'm looking past it and looking to the future were I am healthy and loving myself.

Update

So after talking to my boyfriend about my disappoinment about not working out for a week and also to the people that commented I have decided to start tomorrow as week 5 day 29.

I think that I realized that I'm kind of scared and lacking in motivation that I need to keep me going. So for a few hours I browsed the beachbody website and the weight-loss website that I previously mentioned and after getting some inspiration I am raring to go again.

I must say that most of my new found inspiration came from this video:

Opinions

For the last week I havent exercised at all, sure enough Ive been moving and doing things that I would normally do, like at work or when I went to my brothers chasing after the kids all day. I just feel like Ive let myself down and feel like I should maybe restart the program from the beginning.

P90x Day 28: Stretch X

So I've taken today as a rest day, I'm just so tired from work. I was suppose to start at 5 today but got phoned in the morning and had to go in straight away. I'm not going to go into it all, I've already ranted away to the other half but it was a very hard and frustrating day. Especially at certain people in my department but there is nothing I can do now.

I'm so exhausted it unbelievable so I've decided to skip this stretch day and just take it as a rest day. Tomorrow I start a brand new workout so I am looking forward to it a lot. I've been missing my strength exercises this week.

I can believe its almost my 30 day picture time, I honestly cant believe I've come this far. Never though I would be here 4 weeks in. I'm going to sleep now, its my day off tomorrow, my phone is getting switched off and I'm going to get up early do all the things that I need to and get on with my workout. I'm actually exited!

P90x Day 27: Yoga X

Work was very stressing lots to do and not a lot of time to do it in. I had to stay late at work to get at least a good portion of the work done. So  came in from work really late, tired and really not wanting to do the workout at all, especially for a hour and a half.

I did get myself off my ass after a while and got into my workout clothes and started. I only did the first part of the workout so I've promised myself that I will make up the poses part some other time. I was just so tired after all the downward dogs and leg raises that I gave up and crawled into bed and fell instantly asleep.

P90x Day 26: Core Synergistics

This workout was hard, this is the first time that I've done this particular one. IT consisted mostly of rolling around on the floor, much to the annoyance of my cat who kept trying to jump over me. A lot of the time I had to watch Tony and the "Kids" do the moves a few times then rewind it and try it myself. Which was a bit of a pain in the backside but Ill get used to it eventually, I think I need to do it most recovery weeks I've forgotten so Ill need to look at my workout sheets to see.

It felt weird after almost a week working out my core muscles like that, I'm so used to doing Ab ripper x three times a week and then just stopping.  Not looking forward to having to pick that back up again at the end of this week.

Well I'm going to go and watch some TV since I can for once, not in work until tomorrow night so going to lazy about until I have to go to sleep.

If any of you guys are wanting to start P90x and have any questions about it then don't hesitate to ask, I do read your comments I just don't have enough time to respond back, which makes me kind of sad. But yeah, If you have any questions then ask away, I don't know if I will be able answer then all correctly. I'm not a fitness nut after all but I might be able to point you in the right direction.

P90x Day 25: Stretch X

Today was the first day off since the beginning of the week it was sooooooo good. Managed to get dinner at a reasonable time, managed to read some of my followers blogs. Managed to have a nice shower, watch some firefly and serenity and be lazy as hell today. All the things I wanted to do today I just didn't, I've not felt so tired this week since the busy Christmas period at work. Its all good though, next Sunday I'll have a full week of because I'm on holiday for my birthday when Ill be 21!!!

P90x Day 24: Kenpo X

So I'm just finished Kenpo X, and Im am sweating like crazy!

I forget just how much you sweat while doing this workout, I probably sound like a parrot just repeating this over and over again.I always forget going into this one just how intense it is.

P90x Day 22: Yoga

So Thursday was Yoga, still no major improvement with this workout. Still wobble, fall over and find it difficult to hold the poses for very long. I didn't do the full workout because I got in late from work, and was shattered. I did do as much as I could before I fell asleep.

P90x Day 21: Stretch X

Well today was stretch X I didn't do this workout this time, I opted to just do nothing. I had a hectic schedule at work, so I wouldn't even have had time to do a workout.

P90x Day 20: Kenpo X

So just finished Kenpo X and I'm sweating so much its unbelievable. Its like a sweat more and more as the weeks have been going past, maybe I'm just able to put more effort in. Still can't really keep up a lot of the time with the shouting and the doubles but I'm getting better, not with the coordination that's right out the window.

This is going to be a short post, I'm tired and needing my bed. Stretch X tomorrow and hopefully pictures and measurements, still can't find my tape so going to buy one at work.

P90x Day 19: Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X

So today was legs and back my least favourite of the P90x routines so far, its just so murder on my legs. It takes me all my time to do the moves still. I just hope that my the end of the 90 days it get a little bit better. The pull-ups are fine now, still struggle on the last few (still doing 15 assisted). After the rest week I'm hoping to maybe do  1 unassisted, if I get to 5 by the end of the program I will be so happy.

P90x Day 18: Yoga X

Yoga was good today, a lot better than last week that's for sure. Got through the entire workout without getting frustrated. I'm still wobbling and finding it difficult doing some of the moves including the plough and crane but its enjoyable again.

I've been reading a lot of people comments on the weight-loss forum I visit about Yoga X and how people don't find that it gets any easier.

Well I am away to go watch wrestlemania.

P90x Day 17: Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X

 So today I actually had a nice lie in, and didn't get up out of bed until I had to. I was super lazy today before work. I waited until I got home to do my workout, don't really know why, it was just one of those days that I couldn't be bothered getting out of bed at all.

So I began with Ab Ripper as usually, it was slightly better but not easy. I still struggle more towards the end of the entire workout.

P90x Day 16: Plyometrics

So today was the last of the dentist, and now I am pain free, wohoo. But at a cost, a cost of £97 which I was shocked at but its worth it to be pain free.

So today was plyo day and I must say it went rather well. I can now do the first 30 minutes with relative ease, I still struggle with the getting my knees up like on the jump knee tucks and the rock star hops. I also can keep up with the kids as much nearer the end of the routine but it is getting better.

P90x Day 15: Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X

Hi guys, hope you are all feeling good today cause boy am I.

Got up nice and early for the dentist, which was good she says it should be fine and she filled it back up with some stuff, don't know what it is. Still to go back tomorrow to continue with the root canal thing. Woke up with no pain this morning so was just going to leave going to the dentist, but she said that it was best that I did because it could have hurt my tongue if I slide it past it the wrong way.

P90x Day 14: Stretch X

Ah today I really needed this, my muscles felt really sore and tight. Especially after the crappy week I've had. Well I'm off to bed, got the dentist first thing in the morning, then work at night. I don't start until 6pm so should be able to get a workout done, tomorrow is chest and back so should be easy enough.

Tomorrow I will post a few pictures ( I think) and I will be posting my stats up, measurements and whatnot.

P90x Day 13: Kenpo X

So I did this yesterday, but didn't write about it on this. I went to the dentist yesterday, well you already know this because of my rant earlier. Halfway through the dental appointment my work phoned and asked me to come in later on in the day. So after the dentist I went home and completed Kenpo X with a half numb face.

Kenpo was still a disaster, coordination wise. I still had to pause the dvd and do the moves a few time and ask my boyfriend if he thought i was doing it correctly. I really, really need to have a mirror in front of me I think.
Tony is right when he says that it will be over before you realise it and you'll be drenched in sweat. I took a five second break to get the sweat out of my eyes it was half way over and then the next time I stopped it was to begin the cool down.

So even though I ain't getting any better at the moves I feel like I'm able to go for a bit long than last week while doing cardio.
