Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or bothered by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

P90X, Week 7, Day 4/ Brazilian Butt Lift Day 1

Oh my... well, today I went a bit over my calorie intake because my daughter and I attended a birthday. I had to dig deep to find the willpower to resist the cake, which was neopolitan batter, so it was vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry marble swirl with vanilla buttercream icing. I can't even begin to tell you how much willpower it took to resist that. I love my sweets. I did partake in the food, however. She made a salad with smoked salmon, pasta salad with shrimp, some crackers and different types of dips (pimento cheese; crab dip; and something else), chicken curry salad, and lots and lots of sweet little treats... I tried to put very small portions on my plate and sampled a little of everything that was semi-healthy. I counted those calories as my "dinner" since the party was in the afternoon. By around 9 PM, however, I was starving, and my husband showed up with a small frosty from Wendy's. Those are 300 calories but I ate the heck out of it.

Today, my friend Heather also came by to bring me Brazilian Butt Lift, another DVD series made by BeachBody (same company as P90X). I thought maybe this program would help me to take care of my problem areas: butt & thighs. Well, I can tell you that it kicked my butt. It was only about 30 minutes long, but I sweat like a pig! It is very fast paced, and I had to keep pausing it to catch my breath, and rewinding it to get the jist of the exercises. I found it to be very difficult, and I only did it about halfa@@, but it nearly killed me.

My P90X workout was Yoga X- 90 full minutes of Yoga. Compared to the Brazilian Butt Lift, the 90 minutes of yoga felt like a breeze! Now I'm nice and relaxed and ready for bed. Good night friends!
