Got My Butt Kicked Today

So, one sick day really took it out of me. I feel like I gained 3lbs in water, my throat itches and overall I feel "blah". I pressed play anyways and feel better about myself. I am twice as tired though. I still have to do my  second workout, which I will keep short today, and then walk my dogs. They, together, weigh in at 210lbs. That is 40% more  then me. HAHAHA

So if you are sick, really sick, it is, of course, wiser to take a step back, bombard yourself with Vitamin C and drink lots of water. Yet if you feel like you CAN push through I'd say it is worth it. Surely you should listen to my body. I rock at that so I pushed and it did help. If I would have pushed it yesterday I would feel worse today. For me, working out, works like medicine. For years I battled depression. Was on medication, visited a shrink, was in a clinic and was diagnosed with TMS (Tension  Myositis Syndrome = mental issues turn into physical pain/issues) Yep...Bri is being all open and honest today. I must say, next to my family, working out has done wonders for me. I am off of any medication!...Pain is Weakness leaving the Body. I find, when you are in pain, you learn the most about yourself. (too corny?!) I am not saying eating clean and working out fixed me, but I learned about myself and am now able to figure out triggers, avoid things, or when it is to late, pull myself out of the dark hole in no time. I am so much fitter then I have ever been....mentally and physically and I love Beachbody (and my family) for that! That's all.

My Very First Blog!

And here we go, I finally figured out how to use blogger (duh) only took me about a year.

Today I started P90X ladies and gents. My first workout was Chest and Back followed by Ab Ripper X (imagine me saying this with a rough biker voice) and let me tell you something...it kicked my ass. Not just a little but a lot. Yesterday I finished 90 days of Chalean Extreme (lost a total of 13 inches and 34lbs) and thought I will be semi ready, but damn! Chin-ups are hard! I started using the bands to do a modified pull up version though my silly self did not secure the band right and it ended up coming of when it was at full tension and knocked me in the face. I passed out, while kind of falling and I can say THANK YOU to my husband. He helped me right away, kind of giggling but it a nice way. Sooo screw the modified version. Pull up bar it is. I did about 2...without a chair! Ha! 

I will start posting numbers soon. I was sort of dizzy (of course I finished the work out!) so I did not  continue writing down my reps or weights.

Here are my beginning number folks...

Day 1: 130.3 lbs.

right arm: 10.6 inches

left arm:   10.6 inches

right leg:  22.2 inches

left leg:    21.1 inches

butt:        38 inches

waist:      26.8 inches

hip          34.3 inches

Not too shabby to begin with, I shall take before pictures but will share them with my 30 days results.
