Well week 1 2 and 3 have come and gone and I am on my first "recovery week" as they call it. Gearing up to hit the 30 day mark and get my first prize: dinner with Lee at The Melting Pot! Soo ready! I also have to take my 30 day pictures and weight..we'll see how that goes:) Hopefully I'll be encouraged from that. One other note..I spent the first two weeks without drinking any recovery drink post workout. I also spent the first two weeks completely and totally exhausted. I started buying those new gatorade G series recovery drinks..and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY! They're really cheap, $1 for one bottle that has two servings. Anyway I'll possibly post pics from day 30 soon..depending on how embarrassing they are!

Day 8
Started week two today with the Core workout. Definitely not my favorite of the 6 videos I've done. But I'm pretty confident that I did more of it this week than last week. I think I did at least 80% of the workout. Still need to make my week 1 reward: CUPCAKES!

Day Three
Today wasn't that great of a day. I don't feel super productive. I have not been feeling well AT ALL. It was shoulders and arms day. I didn't do it full out. I guess the best way to describe it would be that I did it as if I was in a wheelchair. I did all the arm moves, but sat on an ottoman in the room. But I do feel a little victorious in that I didn't just give up and skip a whole day. Overall, I feel very mediocre about it.

Day Two
Just finished the second day of the program. It was the cardio X video. 43 minutes. Didn't know if I was going to make it. But I did. Now all I want to do is sleep.
Oh before I forget I did my starting weight this morning on our scale at home. 121.5 this morning. No idea how reliable that is because I never weigh myself. I'm not going to weigh again till 30 and 60 days when I do my pictures.

Day One
Soo this is my second attempt at blogging. The cooking blog is on the back burner, it takes a little more time than I'm planning on giving to this one. This is just my way of holding myself accountable, and hopefully tracking good results! Kind of like a journal format, but on the internet.
Day one wasn't too bad. I did the first workout in the lean cycle today, which is the core training one. Its about an hour. I can't do all the moves yet, or do them for as long as they do them on the video, but I made it through all of it, which was the main goal. The instructor on the video keeps assuring me that I'll be able to do more as I go along- I hope he's right!
My biggest fear is not finishing. I have decided "Finish P90X" will be my mantra for the next 90 days..even made some of logins related to that so that I'll have to type them every day! I made my Magna Doodle a tally, so that I can add one after each workout. The best part is, Lee and I have come up with some GREAT rewards that I think will really keep me motivated. If I'm still working out at 30 days, we're going to the Melting Pot for Valentine's Day. If I'm still doing it at 60 days, I'm going to start going the the tanning bed in preparation for my big 90 day reward...beach trip this summer! I'm very excited about all three!
Took my "before" pictures right after my first workout. That was DEFINITELY motivation. I took all 6 poses that they recommend. They are way to embarrassing to put on the blog. Maybe when I have a great AFTER shot, I can post the before too! Haha!
