P90X - The Results....

Yeah, yeah, I know there is quite a bit of chub left. I'm sure I would have looked better had I laid off on the beer! LOL

But there is less chub and I am looking forward to getting better results in Round 2.

I most definitely am stronger and have more endurance for my runs.

I'm sure some peeps will point and laugh at me, but that's okay :) At least I have the balls to put myself out there, right?

Fun Weekend

So I'm finally getting around to blogging...had a super busy weekend. Friday was my company picnic at Idlewild park chasing Brayden and his BFF Jason! Yes, they are as ornery as they look.

Saturday we went to the humane society to look at some dogs and it was heartbreaking! I wanted to take them all home. I filled out the application and don't know if I was approved yet. I did not know that adopting a fucking dog was so complicated. You have to be PERFECT.

Sunday was spent at my niece & Sister's horse show. Brayden loved the horses and begged me for lessons...lawd help me!

I am on a recovery week from P90X. I finished my 90 days! I need to get a 90 day picture, I haven't gotten around to it yet. I didn't do anything this morning. I contemplated doing Plyometrics even though I am supposed to be on a recovery week, but my right calf was a little wonky yesterday during my run so I figured I would rest it.

1,029 Calories

Yeah, that's what I burned on my 9 mile run this morning! Niiiice, that will get me some guilt free Bud Light Lime's...LOL

I haven't felt right for the last few days and was strapped to the crapper this morning before my run, so I didn't think it was going to happen.

But I figured I would try and it went okay. Not my fastest time, but it's done!

It's been a month today...

since my Tanner died. So it was fitting that I received this in the mail yesterday. After the vets put him down, they made his pawprint out of Clay so that we would have something to remember him by. Of course it made me cry buckets!!

I, of course, am in the acceptance phase now, but I miss him soooo much. I still cry at the simplest things. I still can't go to the ridge near me because that was "his place" and I just can't bring myself to go there yet. I'm sure the peeps that aren't dog lovers or have never gone through this think I'm off my rocker, but I loved him just as much as family. Okay, enough gloom and doom! LOL

I ran 4 miles this morning at the Lake...there were 2 other nutballs like me out there at 5:00 a.m. Scared the living crap out of me because they didn't have flashlights. It was a nice easy run and the weather was a perfect 63 degrees.

Week 12

I'm finally on Week 12 of P90X! I have gotten good results so far, but not as much as I'd hoped. But Tony Horton says for women it should be called get ripped in 180 days because Men have a billion times more testosterone than women, so it takes us longer to get the results we want. I have only lost about 6 pounds, but have lost 2 inches in my hips and an inch in my waist.

So after my vacation I plan on starting Round 2 of P90x! I will still continue to tweak the program so I can get my running in until the half marathon on September 6.

Did P90X Plyometrics this morning and am planning a 3 mile run at lunch.

8 Miles.....

I was sooo dreading my long run today. Mostly because yesterday I got a full-fledged migraine, which I haven't had in a long time. And we had a party to go to last night, so I sucked it up and went because it was a good friend of my husbands.

Then of course I drank, when I KNEW that was a bad idea with migraine already. Oh well, such is life.

Anyhow, my run was not that difficult! I am always amazed when I have a great run when I don't think that I'm going to. I felt strong even though my head was pounding! LOL Maybe there is something to this strength training thing.

I've tried to be really good about stretching lately since I am working out 6 days a week. I am only running 3 days a week, with a long run on Saturdays. I think anymore would likely cause an injury.

Double Trouble

Yeah, that's what these two are! Brayden and his BFF. They are lucky that they are so damn cute...LOL

I seriously cannot leave these two alone for ONE MINUTE. They look for trouble, I swear! His friend is 6, so Brayden thinks he is all-knowing. They are convinced all the houses in our neighborhood are haunted and they get out their Spy Kits...LMAO

On the exercise front, I did P90X Legs & Back this morning. I was supposed to do Ab Ripper also, but I ran out of time. And chances of me doing it after work are slim...we have a party to go to. I have 8 miles on tap tomorrow, hopefully I won't be too hungover.
