A Break?!
I decided yesterday that I needed to take a small break from P90X.....yes, you read that correctly. I'm taking a BREAK! A week or two in length. The reason is mainly because I feel like I'm hitting a plateau and I need to mix things up a bit to confuse my body. I tend to push myself too hard during workouts and I want to do switch things around . I also feel like I'm gaining a lot of muscle, especially in my arms. My dad, being the oh-so-considerate "father" he was, used to always tease me as a teen and say that no matter what I did, or how much weight I lost I would still have a "manly body" His words still affect how I look at myself, even to this day. I suppose his comment was partially true because I do tend to bulk up quickly when I lift weights. I actually like the way my arms are toning up and I'm proud of all the hard work I've done!
I'm going to be doing Turbo Jam this week and next, lots of fun cardio kickboxing! I will start back up with P90X after that and go from there. I will also continue doing Ab ripperX 2-3x a week.

My Journey, Cont...
Hi crazy blogger people!
This neglected little blog/journal of mine is once again shifting to a different subject. My health has become a priority for me, so you won't be seeing many looks until I get my health in order. I will be using this as a place to post my journey, vent, and BRING IT!
I've been doing P90X for 91 days now :) I'm officially starting round 2 today. I did Legs and back yesterday with the pull up bar and it was SOOO HARD, like a million times harder than it was using the bands. I'm doing the classic version of P90X this time so I will be doing Plyo and more Ab ripperX (which is torture for me btw) I've seen some big changes in my body already and I'm very pleased that I no longer look like I'm 6 months pregnant. I was tipping the scales at almost 200 pounds which is quite a bit of weight for a 5'3 1/2in, 26 year old.
Take a look at my journey so far....
Weeks 1-3:
Day 1 – Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 2 – Plyometrics
Day 3 – Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
Day 4 – Yoga X
Day 5 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 6 – Kenpo X
Day 7 – Rest or X Stretch
My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds in the next 90 days.
