Delay

There has been a further delay in our plans. Carlos's parents are coming to town on the 25th - 28th and so we will wait until Feb 1st to start p90x. Carlos wants to do his normal workouts until then and I am going to do the 30 day Shred. He just isn't motivated yet to do the diet and excersize and frankly, he is a big motivator for me. I can avoid sweets if he is refusing to eat them. I can work out if he is working out too. But when he isn't doing either of those things, well I have no will power. I cannot tell him no, cause I want it too. But I will not tell you how much junk food we have eaten since Thanksgiving, I don't want to even think about it.

I am sore

I was so proud of myself when I woke up yesterday and wasn't sore...yeah that changed pretty quickly. By noon I was slightly sore, by the evening I hurt. This morning I had issues holding Brennan while we walked into the Dr's office for his vaccine. Carlos is supposed to work out with me tonight with the Shred, and I had debated going to Level 2, but maybe not. I can't only imagine what p90x will do to me.

First Weigh In

I forgot to list my initial weigh in this morning.

183 lbs

Not great, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

Day 1 - delayed

After I got Brennan to bed yesterday, Carlos and I headed out to the garage to start working out. But it was really cold and needs a lot of rearranging before we will actually be able to do anything in there. So p90x day 1 has been delayed a week. We will clean out the garage this weekend and start it either Sunday or Monday. Since I was already in my workout clothes, I went ahead and did the 30 day shred, which felt nice, but I still want to kill Jillian with all her "motivational" jabber and the fact that she walks around for half of the tape and doesn't actually do most of her own workout. I really wish that tape had a "first time" workout, and then one that was for people who had done it before. I hate hate hate the commentary, but if I turn it on just music I have to watch the screen the whole time to know when we switch excersizes, which is especially hard when it is abs or push ups. A version where she just counts down how many more excersizes before we switch would be very nice. Oh well, what do you really expect from an $8 workout tape right?

So the plan for the rest of the week is that Carlos will join me in 30 day shred hell, and then we pray the weather will get warmer over the weekend and we wil start p90x next week.

Day 1

Tonight Carlos and I start P90X and I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. I am scared not only of the workouts, but of what a bitch I become when I am tired and sore and Carlos is trying to motivate me to do something (i.e. workout again). I hate fighting with him, especially when I know it isn't anything he is doing; it is just like I am PMSing constantly. So not fun, but here I go.

I am excited about doing this with Carlos and the results that I should get out of it. Cause who doesn't like to look all fit, right? And I really think that this experience will strengthen our relationship, just like when we installed 1400 square feet of hardwood floors by ourselves, it was a pain to do it, and I was pissed at him through parts of it, but the end results were great. Carlos and I will take those scary "before" pictures tonight and the even scarier weigh in. Then it is a workout tape followed by Abs. Carlos doesn't remember which workout tape, but I don't think it will matter at this point. No matter what the tape, I will be dead tomorrow. So here is to the death of me :)
