Most people look at me like I'm crazy when they ask me how I've managed to lose my 54 lbs so far. I start off with the basic, "Oh, well I watch what I eat and count my calories. I've also increased my activity level a tremendous amount." Ok, well tremendous for me anyways... "I also, bike ride, try a little light hiking, and I started P90x Lean." They will nod and smile and go, "Oh yeah, very nice." Often times they will ask what the heck p90x is and I'll explain the program to them and it doesn't phase them. Those who know what p90x is and what BeachBody is about, will stop, jaw wide open, and say, "YOU!? You do p90x? Can you handle it? Can you do it all?"
Its funny...but actually I can do p90x. Over the past few months, I've done a lot of workouts from various lower level BeachBody programs such as, Slim in 6, Power 90, and Chalene Extreme. I never really committed to following through with just one. Then of course throw in my bike riding, where I rode every day 5-6-7 miles and built up my endurance. This has helped me "manage" p90x. Don't get me wrong. I'm a pretty big girl and p90x is hard, but I do modify a lot of the activities to match the program as best I can. Eventually I wont have to modify anymore. The work outs range from 50 to 90 minutes and for the most part I can get through them, but....the Yoga still kicks my ass!
I, once again, don't know how much time I will have to blog....I'm trying to make it an effort, so I can watch my growth from my work outs. My life pretty much consists of getting up, getting to work by 7:30, get home usually around 5, clean house, cook dinner, work out, lesson plan, sleep and start the chaos all over again.
There are a lot of changes going on this school year, so I hope that doesn't mean a lot of new stress. I guess if that's the case, my poor blog will get to hear all about it!
