Wow, I'm onto week 2 now! I'm proud of myself for sticking with it, even if my form is not the *prettiest*; I still try to keep moving and keep my heart rate up & do the best I can. I am still not seeing any weight loss on my scale; it fluctuates 2-3 lbs which is driving me insane. I've started taking my measurements and I'll compare those in a couple of weeks to see if I've lost any inches... I'll take centimeters at this point!
Today's workout was Core Synergistics again. I'll have to go back to my post from Week 1, Day 1 and read what I said about this workout last week. Even though I just finished the workout, it's not very memorable to me. That could be due in part to my memory issues, or the fact that it was easier this time. I can't think of one particular exercise that was harder than the others. I did really well on the prison cell push ups this week, which is one exercise I really struggled with last week. I also did the Bonus Round this time, which I had skipped on day 1 of last week. Even though I'm not losing weight, I feel stronger. I see muscles starting to form in my arms (there under the flab somewhere). I still have a long way to go... 82 more days!
Tonight I'll be joining my husband at the gym to make up for the back exercises I missed last week (due to not having the proper equipment). I'll take a printout of the workout with me and get him to help me- he works out 5-6 days/week too, and is a good spotter/trainer. I may have to do my back at the gym every week due to not having the proper equipment. That's ok, because I love working out at the gym. I kind of miss it, and I'm actually looking forward to going tonight. I do feel as though I'm getting a good workout with P90X, but sometimes the accountability factor is not always there like it is when you take a class at the gym... everyone there can SEE your form, or SEE when you stop for a water break, and it kind of holds you accountable. At home, you can pause it, walk away, take your time... and your heart rate drops.
As I said, 82 more days to go.... Praying that I lose this stomach of mine... it HAS to GO!!!
Update: I got a good hour-long workout with my husband tonight at the gym, targeting the back muscles. He showed me a few exercises to do, so I didn't exactly follow the P90X routine, but I worked the same muscles in the same way. I'm officially all caught up now ;)
