P90 Thoughts

I of course am in this to lose weight but right now my goals are all around the program, my progress (day 1 can do 8 pushups, day 90 can do 50 pushups or more) and completing the program. That is something I can control and success is guaranteed. With each success I keep pushing harder. I figure if I do the program and eat clean the weight will come of at a healthy pace.

In the past I wanted results now, that is not realistic. I know this is about a lifetime commitment of getting healthy and staying healthy. Now saying all of that I would like to see an 8-10lb loss each month. More than that I will be doing the happy dance less than that I will have to remind myself that I completed 30 days and that is a pretty big accomplishment too.

Keep Pushing Play!

Week 1 Power 90 - DONE

Week 2 here I come. Today I completed Day 8 of my Power 90 work out (sculpt), officially starting week 2.

I am taking this one day at a time and am feeling really good about all I have accomplished. Cardio/Ab days are really tough for me. But I keep pushing play. Don't get me wrong, the sculpt days and the pushups are hard but the cardio days are even tougher for me.

I have a strong feeling I will move up to phase III-IV on my sculpt before I do on my cardio.

Make it a great day!

Power 90 Day 5

Day 5 Completed, Phase I-II Sculpt.

Whew! When I get to the 3rd circuit with the 7-7-7 pushups my grunting and groaning is definitely louder! The close pushups are really really hard for me. Wow!

Going strong and feeling great!

Keep Pushing Play!

Power 90 Day 4: 3/24/09

Day 4 completed, Cardio and Abs 100.

One of the transition moves during the Power Yoga I almost fall flat on my face everytime. It is pretty funny. It doesn't stop me from trying everytime. I will be a master at it one day!

Make it a great day!

Power 90 Day 3: 3/23/09

My Birthday! Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me!

Day 3 completed. Did Sculpt this morning.

My eating and drinking my water and taking my supplements have been spot on so far. Today is my birthday so my eating will most likely have a little variation in there that I normally wouldn't include. I am not trying to be perfect but trying to be good to my body. I have gotten stuck in that it is all or nothing mentality in the past and when I go a little outside of what I think is "perfect" than I beat myself up pretty bad and sometimes completely fall off the wagon.

I am taking it one day at a time. Yesterday is gone forever, Tomorrow is in the future, Today is right NOW.

Ok, enough of my ramblings. Make it a great day.

Keep pushing play.

Power 90 Day 2: 3/22/09

Day 2 done. Today was the Cardio and Abs.

Cardio is definitely tougher for me than the strength training at this point. But I did do the complete workout. Tina, I only cussed at Tony once! Eating is going great. Taking my supplements like I should.

Feeling Great!

Power 90 Day 1: 3/21/09

Day 1: I did it! Phase I-II Circuit. Completed the entire workout.

After completing the workout I realized we often don't give ourselves enough credit. Going into this I was so nervous, not thinking I was strong, just "knowing" I wouldn't be able to complete a single pushup. What did I learn? The first thing you do after your stretch are regular pushups and I did 8. 8! Why do we sell ourselves short? Not anymore. I realized today I am strong! Now tomorrow doing the cardio might be a different story.

Keep Pushing Play!
