Balance And Power

Good evening everyone.

What a day! So much running around. I had a mommy son day today since my husband took our daughter to work. It was awesome to spent "just me and Jacob" time. We went to to Lowes and before we went in my 5 year old told me that I will have to sneak into the store because it is just for men. 

I was a total cliche in that store...only because I looked and sounded like an idiot explaining myself in English when I wanted to spit out an explanation in German. Turns out, when it comes to hardware, my English sucks! First fun thing was that my son pretended to play Skyrim...slaying Dragons and such...he also kept yelling out that I should not be in here because I am a female. I then asked the sales man "where is your wood". Yup...you can imagine the look on his face. 

Anyways, yesterday I did a short, 30 minute, lethal leg workout. I was giggling the whole time saying how easy it is...this morning though my hams and buns are BURNING.

X2 Balance and Power was nice. I forgot to write down reps because I was semi busy explaining my son how to do the exercises. 

After my workout I had my fun food of the day. A mini Red Velvet cup cake that had 90 calories (thanks Target for being awesome).

X2 Total Body And Such

Good day all of you :)

Can you believe it is almost New Years Eve? This year flew by in such speed. Or I am the one going at faster speed. Ha!

This darn cold is still bothering me...me being healthier is awesome yet when I was overweight I got sick...got better and was done for a few weeks. Now it is lingering much much longer yet it is no where near as bad as it used to be. It is just making me weak without taking me out. At the end of the night I am absolutely beat yet I wake at night because my throat hurts. I sort of wish to be just really sick for two days and be done with it. Guess I should load up on some Vitamin C. :)

Today I had X2 Total Body on the menu and it went quite good. I did not look at my numbers from last week to see after if I improved on my own. I am happy with the results. I also used my Chin-Up Max the very first time and am rather upset that I did not get one earlier. It is a HUGE difference. A chair is fine and dandy but you will always, no matter what, find yourself cheating. No can do with the Chin-Up Max... Chin-Up Max

Something totally off topic. If you decide to lose weight and become healthy please do it for the right reasons. Prolonging your life...being there for your loved ones, becoming faster, overcoming addiction and LOVE yourself. The way you will look is just the tiny cherry on top. This took a bit for me to realize but I am quite happy to have a kick butt machine as a body that runs just as well as it is suppose to do. Yep, your body IS a temple...treat is well.

Here are my numbers from today :)

1. 1-Arm Chest Press  15/15 with 10lbs/ 15/15 with 10lbs (improved 3 in round 1)
2. 4-Position Pull-Up  12/9 (improved even though numbers are down. Chin-Up Max in use)
3. Push-Up Side Arm Balance  10/8 (improved 3 in round one and 2 in round 2)
4. Switch Lunge Press 12 with 10lbs/12 with 10lbs (more weight then last week.)
5. Warrior 3 Kickback 15 with 5lbs/ 15 with 5lbs (improved 5 in round 1 and 3 in round 2)
6. Warrior 3 Curl  12 with 10lbs/10 with 10lbs (more weight and more reps!!!)
7. Boing Push-Ups  12/12 (huge improvement 6 more in round 1 and 2.)
8. Crunchy Lever Pull-Up  6/5 (same numbers yet better form by far)
9. Mule Kick Burpee 5/6 10/7 (big improvement as well. 5 more in round 1 and 1 more round 2)
10. Swimmer's Curl Press in 1/2 Chair 12 with 10lbs/10 with 10lbs (used more weight)
11. Balance Kickback on Stability Ball  12/12 with 5lbs/12/12 with 5lbs (3 more in round 1. Still hardest move for me)
12. Rocket Launcher Preacher Curl 15 with 10lbs/15 with 10lbs (3 more in round 1)

Plyocide, again. O_O

I hope everyone had a joyful Christmas! Today was a very nice calm day, I surely could have it like that every day. 

I went back to clean eating and feel much better besides a headache which I have from all the crap I have eaten. I realized I have a huge problem with food and always will have a problem. Don't get me wrong I love eating clean but due to that head cold and the Holidays I just "did not care"...one fun day turned into four fun days which where not to much fun anymore. I was sick to my stomach and still ate! Just shows that this is a problem and I will always have to make conscious decisions for the rest of my life.

Anyways, Plyocide went well. I had a great amount of energy! Average hr was at 156.

Here is my mugshot for today.

500 reps night. 200 Push-Ups, 100 lunges, 50 squads and 50 one legged squads, 100 hip trusts! All on top of X2 Balance and Power....DONE! (17 minutes)


Did not record the workout today due to a horrid head cold. Yesterday I felt as though someone took a gun and held it next to my ear and then shoot so I had to skip X2 Yoga. During P90X I had the Chicken Pox and still work out so you can imagine how badly I felt yesterday. I feel a tad better today, was able to do my X2 Balance and Power...numbers where the same as last week yet I had to work harder to get to those numbers.

Christmas is almost here! So here is a picture of my adorable kids. DEAL with it.

X2 Total Body Week Two.

WOAAAH!! I am totally buzzing today. Went shopping quite early to get some more things and stuff for making cookies. The store was a zoo... absolutely crazy and there where tons of unhappy and unfriendly people. Anyways, when we got home we started making cookies right away which left my kitchen in a huge sugar cookie dough/sprinkle mess. When I was done cleaning my kitchen it was already noon...I then realized that I have not eaten anything which pushed my workout back a tad. I ate a protein bar, downed a shake and waited a bit. Due to all that and not eating right my numbers are down compared to last week even though I feel so much stronger. I don't care too much though. I know and see that I am getting stronger and not eating in the am is my fault. Figured that if I leave my house any later the stores would be even worse. At least my little humans had fun! 

Here are today's numbers and a short video!

1. 1-Arm Chest Press 12/12 with 10lbs/ 15/15 with 10lbs
