But....
2.5 lbs gone total! That means just 7.5 to go to reach the first small goal of 10 lbs off! Eating close to the Shakeology suggested menu (with one big cheat LOL Oops) but a lot of water and working out too. I am about to go up and work out again, today is the Sculpt 1-2 part of Power90.
What is weird is that I always thought you started with the Sweat and then the 2nd day, the Sculpt. Not like it should really matter which one tho', but when I went to schedule the Power90 program on WOWY last month or so, it started me with Sculpt. Interesting. Matters nil to me either way of course, so I am doing it that way, just missed Monday. I feel a lil sleepy this morning, as I didn't go to sleep at 10 like I was hoping but it was an hour later and I was up around 6:30 this morning. But! I got dressed to work out right away and thought to peek on the scale. I need to do measurements again tho' tonight to make sure I record them. I do have them from a few weeks ago so they should not be much different.
After I worked out on WOWY yesterday, I saw in my mailbox I got a Buddy request from someone on BeachBody, a coach.
I just removed my rant about this, as I think I ranted about it before on my blog here. Buddies are always welcome, but I do not want a coach.
So friend? YES! Most certainly! Always can use a new friend. Coach? No thanks.
I am my own coach right now.
For now, as ol' blue eyes sang....
I'm doing it...'my way'. :)

Here we are...
Startin' again! I wanted to begin to work out yesterday, even got dressed but you know how if you don't do it right away that the day gets away from you and you keep putting it off...didn't make it in the morning...ok so before lunch. No, ok how about in the afternoon...well just before dinner? Dang...how about just after in the evening, could relax then after a nice hot shower....oops. Where did the day go? No sense now as I am about to get up in the morning and workout in a few hours!!
Well I had good intentions....but they all went out the window.
Ok, so a new day!
Today, I began. I went to WOWY at the BeachBody site and logged in. Set it up and I got up at a decent time too so I was fairly well rested although went to sleep late but not too bad. I was dressed to work out and had breakfast and knew I could better time it all with my daughter going to school. The schedule was already there, I just had to plug myself into it. So I did!
Just finished working out at 8, shower done just after 9 and dressed now. I always feel a charge of energy after working out. I feel more productive and awake. My body almost tingles and says whooaaaa what did you do Wanda? Again?!
Yes...again. And I will keep on with the 'agains' as much as possible!
I am glad to finally be able to breathe ok and not be coughing like crazy and to have healed from that procedure I endured. That was the hardest part.
I looked through the dvds I had and found some of the old literature from Power90. The old booklet and even the invoice was there. I didn't see the poster however that I thought I had but I found where I had first attempted the Power90 program and where I had circled what I did, day by day. I am going to look through it again and see just when to move over to the blue disk of Power90. Part of me wants to go ahead and scheduled this whole program on WOWY to help keep me accountable.
I read over on Tony Horton's facebook about an article he wrote about people being lazy. Oh boy! Isn't that just dead on since I was feeling lazy yesterday! I hear you Tony! I hear you. It's very true. I think it goes beyond just being lazy however. I do think you are right, people are not stupid, we know what to do, it's just a matter of doing it. Lazy? I don't know. I don't know if it is that so much as just lacking motivation. Lacking the 'oomph' to get up and do so. Some are just tired or their days are so busy, it's hard to work it in. Many are creatures of habit and schedules and to introduce something new, is definitely not easy. It was hard to get started again. Thoughts of just saying the heck with it and hearing friends say, "you've been battling this for years Wanda"...and I can hear them trying to tell me to just accept me for me. Thing is, I do accept me for me, but this fatter version is just not healthy for me. Already, the doc wants to put me on cholesterol meds and there just is no way I wanna do that!
I heard a commercial today of a guy saying how he was put on cholesterol meds cause eating right and exercising wasn't enough to lower it so he got put on the meds and then now, his cholesterol is lower and he's been eating right and exercising more. Ummm then why wasn't he doing that exercising and eating right to begin with ...'more'?
I am afraid if I don't get these indepth numbers down, that I'll be stuck on those meds forever. Many who go on them, never go off them.
I don't want to be one of those people. I really don't. My regular cholesterol numbers are decent and not high risk at all but it's when you look at those indepth numbers, the ones where they dig deep and look at genetics and whatnot that my numbers are bad. That is a lot of motivation for me to get my butt in gear and working out. Then, as you can see in the past posts, something hits me. Getting sick...bad cycles....trips....blah blah. Ok the trips are in my control. I do take Shakeology with me at the very least and I try to make better food choices while out.
I just need to take Power90 with me.
I have a trip coming to go to NV next week so I am going to definitely take my disks with me and workout clothes and I intend on working out while I am there. I am going to try really hard to keep to the schedule.
That will be the biggest hurdle for me. I have 2 1/2 months to trim up before the Ren Faire begins. Not too much time but I will do my best and hopefully, I can lose about 10 lbs before then at the very least.
1 lb is already gone from eating fairly well the past day or so.
Time to melt away and burn off the fat!!
Thank you Tony Horton!! We are gonna do this darlin'!

Bad Past Week
It's been a really bad past week. Just when I thought I was well and starting to workout, I had a gyn appt and had a copolscopy and did not realize the after-affects which have kept me resting as much as possible and put a huge snafu into my exercise routine. It was enough to where I had to cancel out the program set up I had scheduled with WOWY. :(
It was darn scary and I had to find me the Purple Elephant Always just to get me thru it. It was and has been that bad. I have had this same procedure before but did not remember what you have to put up with afterwards. My hat is off to those who have gone thru this often as I never felt so fortunate that this went on during the holidays and I was off from work and never felt so fortunate and darn right lucky that I have the job that I do and can work at home!! I won't go into details but suffice it to say that I am A-ok!! *whew*
No cancer!! YAY!
That was very scary tho' and now that I am starting to heal and everything is easing up, I am starting to get my strength back and feeling more like my old self! Coupled with the 70 degree temp today, I was nearly on air and actually feeling THIN! Hahahaha...I know I am not, but it sure felt grand to get out and about for a few today and enjoy the beauty of the day.
I figure it will take another week and I should be 100% and can get back to those workouts and exercising again. :) I am excited and can't wait to start getting healthy again and I've already started to eat better as well.
The good news is that I did receive my new computer and I about have it all set up to where I want it to be! So that is very exciting to get to it. There is so much I want to do with it, it's hard to know where to start!! LOL But I will be working on things this weekend and making a go of it all, but keeping in mind that I will still take it easy as much as I can stand to do so.
I did have to put off my cardio appointment when they called today for a reminder. I'll have to call and talk to them on Monday and get it rescheduled for more like February or so.
With all these warm temperatures, it's gotten me excited for the coming spring and wanting to wear some long flirty skirts and strappy sandals and some cute tops...:) Itching to go shopping but first things are first, and that's to get in better shape!!
For now, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
