I have been using the resistance band, and realized that it would probably be easier for me to use weights, cause it is too much hassle with the band. I also realized that I need to get a pull up bar. I am scared of the resistance bands busting when I use them over the garage.

With the weights, I will be able to count reps better and to get a bigger range of motion, as well as with the pull up bar, I will be working my muscles harder.

I need to work on my push ups…I have been doing them on my knees, because I am not strong enough yet, to do them “normally” but I am keeping good form. Its about QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.

Some of the Ab workouts are tough!! I know they aren’t made to be easy but wow…my lower abdominal muscles are not yet strong enough for me to hold my legs up.

I WILL GET THERE!!!

DO YOUR BEST AND FORGET THE REST!!!

YogaX!

This is the first time I have ever done yoga.

I have a new found respect and appreciation for people that do yoga on a daily basis.

Its a lot harder than it looks. It takes A LOT of balance and concentration.

Some of the moves got me sweating and shaking!! But I loved every min of it!!

After wards, I felt really relaxed, stretched, and just at peace!!

AMAZING!!!

How I got started.

I had the P90X for about two months and kept making excuses of when I was going to start. Well, I said enough is enough I need to get down to business. So I typed in “how to get started with P90X”, I ended up finding Han. Han’s story inspired me. So I decided that I would email him telling him my story and asking for some advice.

He emailed me back giving me some advice and telling me about teambeachbody.com

So, I joined and realized that he is my coach.  He has been very supportive and really seems to want to help me reach my goal. So right now [for the first week] he is introducing me to the P90X workouts.

Jan 18, 2010-Day 1

I took my measurements for what I wanted to see improve, weight and my before photo. I told myself that I will only do measurements and weight on days 30, 60, and 90. That way I don’t get discouraged and I’m not obsessing over it.

After  did that, I popped in the first workout for me, Kenpo X!

Wow!! That workout was amazing!! It was kinda like “fighting” I guess would be a good word to describe it. There was alot of punching, kicking, and combo moves!! It took me a couple times to go back to the beginning of certain sections to get me caught up, but I was more concerned about getting the correct form then doing it fast and sloppy.

I was soaked in sweat! Little do I know, this is only the beginning.

Here are my measurements and everything for Day 1. [i should be embarrassed, but as long as I know that I am working at it, I'm ok]

weight: 163 lbs

neck: 12″

bust with sports bra:  39″

right under my bust:  33.5″

waist: 31.5″

belly button: 38.5″

under belly button [that pooch]: 40″

left arm: 13″

right arm: 12.5″

hips: 42″

left thigh: 22.5″

right thigh: 22″

Body fat percent: 30.6%

Body mass index [BMI}: 27.5 which is high.

Well, I will talk to yall tomorrow!
