Happy Birthday to me. I am 34 today. Never thought I would be excited to be 34, but things just seem to keep getting better and better the older I get. And now that I have decided to take control of my health, I feel so much better. I have a completely different outlook on life.
Things don't seem quite as bleak, and depressing. My life is now full of possibilities. I can see myself starting to dream big. Where those dreams will take me we will just have to see.
Well it is now time for my protein bar, and time to get my little one out of her PJ's. Especially since it is 1030 now. Ha Ha. But it is the weekend, and my birthday so I guess I'm allowed to slack a little bit.
But not too much slacking, because I still have to work out today. It may be recovery week, but I still have Core Syn to do. Can't wait to get it started. I always hate this one before I start, but once I get going and about halfway through, i love it. Go figure that one out.

Wow
So just a quick post here. I found my picture from when I started Insanity. And I compared it to my 30 day picture. And all I could say was WOW. It was really cool to see how far I had come in 90 days. Yes it could have been better had my nutrition been better. But the things that you can't see like the parts of my belly that are hiding, are shrinking tremendously! I am very excited to see where the last phase of P90X will take me. I know that the last week was full of bad nutrition. But now it is back to business as usual.
So here is the picture:
Pretty amazing if you ask me!
And here are the results of my 30 day pics from P90X:

So there you have it. I will be taking my 60 day pictures next Tuesday. I am not expecting to see any change at all really. Maybe a little more toning in my arms and less, but that's about it. And that's okay. I am getting better everyday and pushing play everyday and that is what matters the most!

Phase 2
So phase 2 of P90X starts tomorrow. Since Hubby is a week behind me I am going to be doing one more week of phase 1 diet. It just makes it easier to plan out the weeks meals. I will be so glad when I get to add a few more carbs into the mix though, it will be much easier to plan meals for the week. We can start to eat some sandwiches for lunch, and I can get back to eating cereal for breakfast. I know hubby will be happy when he can have oatmeal for breakfast more often.
I think we are going to try and eat the majority of our carbs during the day and stay carb free to carb low at night. Eating smaller meals at night will definitely help hubby, since he works out at night. Of course we didn't stay carb low last night. We had pizza. It was so good, but I was a piggy! We both had 4 pieces, the two of us ate an entire large pizza.
But we are back on the bandwagon today. Every once in a while you just gotta be bad. I can't be good all the time, that's definitely no fun. So now I am saving myself for my birthday, and something sweet this time. I am going to make myself a banana cake, my favorite!!
I am going to take my 30 day pictures tonight. I think there has been some change, but not really all that much. I am really hoping for a little more change here in the second month. Of course in an interview with Tony Horton, he said that a lot of people in the test group didn't see big results until like day 70 or so. So I am just going to stick to the nutrition as best as possible.
I am also going to try and not weigh myself as much in this second month. All of the sudden I have become scale and weight obsessed. I am usually not like that. Of course I guess since I am so anxious to see results I am weighing myself more. My goal is to be down 10 lbs by the end of next month, or the end of this phase. I am pretty sure I can do it, we shall see, I have a few hurdles to overcome. Like going to my parents house, and a football game next weekend. And then going to Tampa for a meeting/mini vacation with hubby. But at least I will have hubby with me to keep me in line!
I will post pictures in the next few days or so. And by the way the mashed cauliflower was awesome!!
