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 8, Day 6 (Happy 30 lb weight loss to me!)


I've been so slack about posting during Spring Break. Last night, it got late, and I knew I needed to post, but my husband was using one computer and my kiddos were on the other. We have a third computer which is a "dinosaur" because it's so old. We haven't turned it on in 3 months since we got the laptops. But I was freshly showered, curled up in a cozy blanket on the couch, and watching a TV show, anyway. So yesterday's workout was Yoga X. 90 minutes long. It is really hard for me to find 90 minutes of the day to do yoga. I would love this workout if it was maybe 60 minutes long as opposed to 90. So, I got Yoga X out of the way in the morning, and I exercised more throughout the day. I took the dog for a walk for 45 minutes, and then I got on the eliptical machine at the gym last night and burned over 700 calories. With it being spring break, I've been sleeping in really late, and I totally missed my Step Aerobics class, which I am still bummed about. Oh well. I've managed to lose 2 lbs this week, which makes a total of 30 lbs lost since December! 13 of those pounds were lost using P90X and by counting calories. As I already mentioned, I'm down a dress/pants size, and I've lost about 2 inches in my neck, 2.5 inches in my waist, and 3 inches in my hips since I started P90X back in February. Exciting, but I still have more work to do. I need to lose around 10-15 more lbs and tone certain areas. The diet part has become like second nature to me; it's a breeze. Finding time to exercise has been the hard part, hence all of the late night workouts.
