Day 15 (Week 3, Day 1)

Core Synergistics this morning.

Had a harder time getting to it than usual, but still pushed play. I'm getting psyched about getting to 40 lbs, which is a good motivator. My pants fit a lot nicer today than this time last week, so that's another :D

I think, given that I have about 16 weeks to drop the next 35lbs, that I should be able to make it. Good news for my friend Taylor who wants to see me at Gen Con.

I want to start supplementing the morning work out with something in the afternoon, but I'm not sure what. I like to walk, so that'll probably be part of it (weather permitting) until I get to running - which I've wanted to do, but never had 1) the courage to try or 2) the wherewithal to keep it up. So, I've got to wrack my brain for other ideas.

Enjoy the day, we're getting a little liquid sunshine.

Day 14, MORE RESULTS!!!

Caps and EXCLAMATION POINTS for emphasis!

I'm rockin it.

Down another 3.6 pounds this week! That brings my total loss to 5.8!

Maybe next week, I can drop 5 ;) Just kidding. Slow and steady wins the race. It's a marathon, not a sprint. (Other motivational saying here).

I'm getting psyched for week 3, then the rest week.

P90X lean is doing for me again what it did the last time. Getting my weight down and helping me get ready for full blown P90X.

Thanks for reading!

Days 11 - 13

What a nice couple of days.

Monday started out with Yoga - again I didn't get far. I might need to change the workout I'm doing. I lasted all of 12 minutes :\

However, I did get the burn in mowing my lawn! What a nice feeling to be outside, in the warm sun, my back aching like crazy (ok, that's not so nice, but hopefully that goes away quickly).

More Legs and Back on Tuesday. I like that routine, even if I'm not able to keep up all the time. Soon, though, I'll be going through all of these workouts to their full length.

Kenpo, though, is my favorite. And that's what I did today. I love kicking butt in that one. And I'm all sweaty after, but I feel great. Probably don't smell it, lol.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to more positive results tomorrow! I'll post again then.

Days 8 - 10

It's been a better couple of days. I'm starting to enjoy working out again (I kinda figured I would eventually, just happy it happened this soon).

I've been using myfitnesspal (mjvasko1) to make sure I stay as good as possible - sure I want X but do I really want to log in and post X? That's a lot of work... lol... it's not, but it's a good mind set.

I won't deny that I've been supplementing with a green tea extract that's been helping me control my appetite, too. I'll wean myself off of it eventually, but it really helps right now with the excessive "go find something sweet" cravings.

I also had a mix-up and did yesterday's work out today and today's yesterday. Oops.

We also took the boys to the park, and were outside for about an hour. That was nice, and my back didn't hurt at all. Sure helped that I got to reconnect with a good friend of mine, too.

So, here we go, and it looks like things will only get better from here.
