Day 3

Finally, most of this cold has left! I have a lingering cough, tickle in the throat but that's it. So this past Monday, 12/26/11, I began to work out.

It was really hard to start again. I had to really push myself to get my butt up there and push play for Power90. I managed to do so, keeping in my mind it was only 35 mins or so, just half an hour, I can do that! So I did it! Although it is more like 40 minutes when you count the Ab Ripper 100 into it which is part of the Sweat portion of the program. It was difficult to get up there as I kept putting it off in the morning. Getting caught up with work, waking up late....having to wait at least 30 minutes after I ate, trying to get the snack in and again having to wait 30 minutes. I finally saw a window of opportunity however and just forced myself to get up there to do it!!

Of course, once I finished, I was so glad I made myself get up there!

Yesterday, was easier, knowing it was Sculpt and it's even less time than Sweat. To me, the Sculpt part is much easier and I enjoy it more as I am working with weights.  I'd rather that than to do the aerobic parts.

I put it into my mind that this is Power90, that means, 90 day program. Three months sounds like a long time, but it really isn't. Look, already December is about over! Where did the holiday time go? It just flies by! And, in just 3 months, the Ren Faire will start! Scarborough Faire! That brought to mind how last year, around this time, I had started to work out faithfully and had lost a good deal of weight and I was able to fit into a smaller bodice for Faire! I remember feeling so wonderful and the vendors could see the difference in me!! I was on air! At the Faire! ;)

I want that again...so, looking at that goal, I have a good three months to get there! That really just turned things around in my mind and three months no longer seems daunting but instead, I am glad and grateful for that time, to have it so I can really work on this weight and to feel healthier and trimmer!

Of course this wouldn't be the Wild Weight Loss Ride unless I dipped...so I did...yup, I am back to 199.5. Can you believe that?? Geeezz....but no sense beating myself up over it. I couldn't believe it but then again, I could believe it cause I was sure feeling fat the last week or two and then sick on top of that and just couldn't stop coughing and there goes incontinence and oh joy! Just really horrible. I ate bad, no exercising....so yea...kablam...
Did I really need to be smacked over the head yet again? Obviously so.

But...yea, no sense beating myself up anymore. I know the drill by now. I have to stop the yo-yo'ing. I know how to lose this, I know what to do. And...Beachbody is there, waiting to catch me and I can hear Tony talking to me and saying Wanda...get to it. Push play! You can do it! You can do it and stay there!
I know I have all the tools and have all the help and encouragement I could want and need. But I knew I needed to really commit myself....so I went back to WOWY. I wanted to on Monday but forgot to pull it up and the same yesterday. This morning, I was bound and determined so I went ahead and went to the site this morning before I went upstairs and got into WOWY in my account and scheduled the workout. Then I went upstairs and did it for Day 3!! I kept thinking yesterday, ok, 90 days...Day 1....Day 2...now, I just finished Day 3, that means I have 87 more days to go! I am going to count down! Count down my way to fitness!

I also saw where on WOWY, you can schedule a whole program onto your calendar! Oh I like that! I was looking for my Power90 chart/poster they send you but I can't find it. I wanted to cross off the days. Of course my Power90 DVD is so old now that that paper is probably long gone by now. I couldn't download another but that's ok, I was able to set it up on my calendar in WOWY and that will work. It will also help me to be accountable and responsible.

Of course, I have been drinking my Shakeology as well and did so here or there the past few months and it probably prevented me from gaining more than I did. I got a new scale for Xmas and also another pair of capri workout pants and top, new socks too. Hint and a half eh? No...I did ask for them.

I won't do doubles (two workouts in one day) until later on in the program. I am going to just stick with the Power90 alone for now as I know it has been way too long since I worked out and I don't want to kill my muscles. I am already a lil bit sore but I am already, starting to feel more energetic and more like my old self too! :)

I did take my measurements on Monday and logged them in. It was a bit sad to see them nearly back to what they were before but again, I know what to do to change that and fix that.

I get my new computer today and I can't wait to get things set up with that! I can catch up on my other blogs and I am so looking forward to it!

So we say goodbye to 2011. A year of alot of endings and some beginnings. I know 2012 will have a lot of new beginnings and a few endings but it should be a really great year in comparison to this year!
