woo hoo it's another Fun Friday here; i just wish that someone would have told the weather that we had plans to go to the park today, because with the nasty grey rain going on here that is NOT happening! *shrugs* such is life right? i think we will dance our way into the weekend with some ZumbaRush and finally watch the Hunger Games tonight <3
we have had a busy, and exciting week here in the FitFamily home. the big kids have been enjoying Aikido, bike rides, learning some new cooking skills, and challenging each other to dance offs due to the weather being all wonky here. i have been having a blast setting up people to be part of the Challenge Groups that are starting next month, helping people pre-order Les Mills Combat, and starting people with the 3 Day Cleanse! i also took my measurements for the first time since before starting P90X and in 6 weeks i've gone down 1.7% body fat *happy dance* the program is really starting to kick into high gear, so i can't wait to see where i will be at the end of it! we can't forget about BabyL; he's hit a huge milestone this week too! he's not only running now but climbing on everything, saying a few new words AND he used the potty yesterday!! not bad for a 14month old lol i have also been participating in Fat Mum Slim's photo a day challenge this month so i am going to share some of my favorite shots from the last week :-)
this week has been of fun, adventure, exploration, temper-tantrums and so much more. i am sure, despite the weather, we will have a fun weekend too. this week i linked up with Chubby Cheeks and Posh on a Budget again. if you would, go check out these blogs because there are some great reads over there. if you found me via either blog hop WELCOME and please let me know you stopped by :-) it's been an AWESOME week here in the FitFamily home; how about yours?
here's your Fun Friday song y'all! have a FANTASTIC FRIDAY *waves*
is it just me or does everyone have a love hate relationship with wednesday? i mean, when we wake up we realize "hey it's almost the weekend" and then you go "oh, but the day is JUST beginning so i'm really no closer to the weekend" *sad face* these thoughts don't just go through MY mind now do they?
wednesdays are traditionally busy around here and this month is no different. i refer today as hump day because i always seem to be busting hump to accomplish all on my "to do" list each week.
for instance; here is today's schedule--i have several clients to call, skype, email and check into (so happy to add this to my list of things); the big kids are working on Geometry, Science, Current Events and Spelling today; i have YogaX to get in; bills to pay; work on my business some more; studying to get in; a hour long seminar to get in; it's the beginning of my school week; dojo for the big kids; basic cleaning; diapers to wash. i know when i type it out it doesn't seem like a lot but i started running around 5 and i will be going until 10, 11 tonight! the only thing that kind of bothers me is my seminar because the professor is a stickler. you MUST stay the entire 60 min or you get a big fat zero! wouldn't be a big issue if it wasn't at such a bad time. see, i asked for class on any day/time other than a few and of course i received both classes and very inopportune times/days. today's class is the worst though because the big kids have dojo at 5:45 and my class starts at 5 *ugh* we may just switch their dojo to Sun instead of Wed but then i run across the same issue but on the tail end of class. it would be easier if hubby was home, but he's not. such is life as a navy wife right? i don't like being overbooked; especially when it's not my fault, and beyond my control. i know it will all work out one way or another.
despite knowing i am slammed with stuff today i am in a FAN-FREAKI-TASTIC mood!! i've been jamming to Swedish House Mafia since 5 (it's almost 7). i even received a text message at 430 from hubby so it's a GREAT day <3 what's that??? you don't know who Swedish House Mafia is!! well let me share one of my fav groups with you today. hopefully it gets you up and dancing around the room like it does me :-)
if you ever worked out with me, talked to me about starting a challenge group, discussed getting fit with me or anything else that might be deemed "challenging" you've heard me say "well let's bring it" or "lets do this!" i love a challenge and it was time for me to challenge myself with my fitness program. i have done BrazilButtLift, TurboFire and a hybrid of those programs since November last year. those programs have helped me go from 168 to 145 and loose over 15inches. don't get me wrong, i am MORE than happy with my results. i am smaller, tighter, fitter, and healthier than i have EVER been in my adult life (thank you Team BeachBody) but i knew it was time for a change. so i jumped on the P90X bandwagon!
i bought this program years ago for myself and my hubby. he never finished it (but saw some great results) and i never started it. as i pulled the discs out and stared at the intimidating black and grey label i said to myself "nothing to it! you can do it!" and that was THAT and i began my P90X adventure! I am now coming up towards the end of week 2 and i LOVE it! i am doing the lean program because i am interested in seeing just how lean i can get my body. after 3 kids your body composition changes; your hips and rib cage tend to get larger and never seem to go back *booo* but i am pretty happy with the small results i have seen so far. i will tell you one thing P90X ain't no joke!!
i know i'm in good shape but it made me feel like the total opposite! you know you've had a kick butt workout when you CAN NOT hold your abs in when you walk around later that day lol it's just another chapter in my fitness life :-) if you have ever done P90X what did you think? hard/challenging or not, it should come to no surprise that i have fallen head over heals for this program!!
here is my starting point as of last week:
Weight- 147lbs
Waist- 27.8
Hips- 38
Chest- 37.4
Bicep R/L- 11.8/11.5
Thigh R/L- 20.5/20.8
Body Fat- 18.4%
here is my goal at the end of P90X:
Weight- 140lbs
Waist- 25
Hips- 36
Chest- 36
Bicep R/L- 10/10
Thigh R/L- 18/18
Body Fat- 17%
as you can see, i have some symmetry issues that i am hoping P90X will help me with. i have no real goals because i am happy with where i am at body composition wise. but i did put in goals over at W.O.W.Y. SuperGym (the same as i just posted here. you can always follow and cheer me on at MyFitnessPal, W.O.W.Y. SuperGym, Twitter (oh and i have the awesome cool new profile so if nothing else go check that out!) and/or Facebook.
