P90X ......... Training will start JULY

15 JUN 2009 will be my last day with Tony as my trainer.  I am deploying soon and this deployment will make it impossible to workout at that level and diet but I am the new owner of P90X.  When I return home I plan on starting P90X

P90X came in the mail today the diet book /plan was written by Carrie Wiatt.  Her first book was "Eating by Design: The individualized Food personality type nutrition plan" and Second book "Portion Savvy".  She is also the creator of the P90X nutrition plan.  I am very excited to get started!  They offer a lot such as online support, motivation, workout worksheets, and supplements.  I may just stick with my current supplements

Tony Horton's program requires Before and afters: Day 0, Day 30, Day 60, and Day 90(Back, front, and side).  The program also offers different program options called P90X Classic, P90X Doubles, and P90X Lean. I'll be sure to post photos/VLOG and let you all know how it goes.  It seems like a lot of support and information for $120.00!  

I'll be sure to drop a blog or vlog when I return to the States on day Zero of P90X.

 

Easter Cheats

Easter was a few candy cheats here and there.... I've also notice that a lot of my old friends keep inviting me for drinks so lately I've found myself ordering OJ and passing in off as drinking (EH).. I wish that they would understand just a little more but at the same time I never really find myself enjoying "nights" out with this little group...its kind of like I've out grown them in someway but not all...

Should have my MBA competed in MAY so I can really focus 100% on my workout but I still have concerns of my shrinking bust and chest press.. The guys at the gym are saying it won't happen but I've noticed otherwise and considering I am not hardcore at the moment I figure I can see where my weightlifting hobby takes me. I am always finding great blogs out there that help me plus lately I've had a few co-workers asking advice on weight lost etc. I would love to have a second job as a personnel trainer or something.... What do they say when your hobby turns into a job??

First Muscular comment

I was waiting to tan and one of the hairstylists said WOW!, you have muscular legs and then wined "I want to be muscular"lol. I was kind of surprised really so I guess all of my hard work is starting to payoff. I cannot wait to hit the gym Monday I've had a weird weekend and I find myself using exercise/the gym more as a coping mechanism lately. Well, my chicken just beeped

Bronchitis yet again!

I've been doing well with my training but I would like to improve on my cardio after hearing all the great feed back from recent figure competitions :-)....


I started seeing some decent results around the AB region and I've really went up in strength. The other day I was doing my leg workout added 10lbs to bar but for some reason was having breathing issues....come to find out I had Bronchitis again! This was the first time I had bronchitis just in my lungs without the flu like symptoms. UGH!! I've been grounded by Bronchitis and this time it took me and two coworkers out for a few days... All the internal fight in the world could not have saved me at this point.

MRA (Moving Right Along)

Now that I have a few days to think about things......I put a considerable amount of effort into my diet and exercise and it makes me happy that I earn my results! I've heard of those people out there who have crazy genetics and( BAM) abs 24/7.. At least I enjoy the mental and physical effort I put forth and it helps me balance my crazy life in general.

Congratulations to everyone who just participated in figure shows

Free Weights ,,,,,,

Well, I've been lifting for awhile now and it seems that I am kind of getting the eye at the gym from time to time. I would like to think its because I look better than when I started but than I realize that I went from wearing a hoodie to a tight gym like tank top so they're probably lookin at other body parts not that there is much to look at.

I'm to the point where I have to start using 25lbs plates on my chest press and well squats. I don't mind using bigger plates on the legs because its expected considering its a larger muscle group but for some reason it makes me feel better to use two 10lbs and one 5lbs plates on each side for my chest press LOL. Like its more feminine or something but the fat errrr guys on the treadmills turn around and look at me some times like I"m weird or something. I am weird but its not like you can tell by looking..........GESH --LOL !

Latest problem is I'm bloated still and still its been on going for awhile now not sure what to do.... Maybe its the WHEY P.....?? Any ideas besides popping GAS X like its going out of style?

That's all for now

Still working on perfecting my diet at work .......

Symmetrical issues...... .....

I've been working out see some results nothing so great that I am wanting to hit a stage or anything just yet... My most recent problem:

My RIGHT side is so much bigger then my LEFT... It is starting to look weird.

My Right Bicep looks great and the left not so much..... so I emailed Tony and we are going to talk about this more when he calls...YAY.. Meanwhile he gave me some guidence

You really cannot tell unless I am flexing but I want to look semi symmetrical because I plan on competing one day

I've been doing good with my diet then PMS from hell @#$%^ hits like a wall... I have had an IUD for a year now so I don't menstruate or anything but I have all of the EFFING PMS symptoms... I swear it intensified after my leg workout???.....UGH

Also, this week Tony wanted me to focus on adding more weight to the bar... I noticed some changes that came about just by working out with heavier weight: side effects or it may be crazy PMS???: Sex drive is crazy, Hunger 24/7 even after I eat, and I felt run down all week but that is all probably PMS related somehow???...

I went to my OBGYN last week for my yearly he told me that I have " low estrogen levels" and that its causing unnecessary bloating because it is slowing down some other areas if you know what I mean...... Anyway the DR said I should buy some SOY products from GNC..LOL. News Flash I just cut out the international egg whites and it went away in 3 days WOOT>>>>> I might drink some egg whites to test my theory but this problem may leave me with 3 gallons of international egg whites and going back to cooking the everyday egg TIME BUMMER......

We will see what next week brings :-) but I am hoping for a more sunny disposition

Anyone in my area wanting to play some softball this summer???

"True strength is holding yourself together when everyone expects you to all apart"

I love this little saying and think about it several times a day at work and then I realized I am the first female in my position.... I've talked to several all the way back to the 90s way before my time in the Air Force.. There has never been a female supervisor in my career field in fact there has only been one female CMSGT on base ... I would love to shatter that glass ceiling one day and honestly it very well maybe the one thing that truly attracts me to my job and pushes me to be the best I can be.... as corny as that may seem

I could not deal with the everyday BS without the gym, Cyber support, and Tony's help.... I'm so grateful for you all..
