Day 1/90

Consumed calories: 1190 out of a max 1200!

Carbs: 129g

Fat: 53g

Protein: 73g

Workout completed: P90x Core Synergistic

Well. Not too bad today. I was pretty heavy in protein, but a high protein diet is recommended by P90x. The extra grams of fat, though... not so much. But we'll get there. (I will get over my fro-yo addiction, I will I will!)

As you can see from the pictures, my meal schedule was a little wonky today. I overslept. Big time. Woke up just in time for baked chicken and rice pilaf for breakfast lunch... then had 3 scrambled eggs, broccoli, cucumber, and French dressing for dinner... then I undid all the veggies with frozen yogurt, granola and fruit as a snack. (Bad Kelly! At least it was fat free... but oh, that sugar!)

I was pretty good with the workout tonight. I won't lie, P90x always kicks my butt; but tonight I just kicked and screamed my way through the whole Core Synergistics DVD. I attempted every move at least a couple of times. Eventually, I'll be able to make 'em all pretty, as Tony says. (Confession: I did not do the bonus round. Maybe during phase 2.)

Be back tomorrow!

P.S. I forgot to mention earlier that my plan is to complete P90x lean, then classic, then doubles. Whether or not I climb Mt. Everest afterwards is yet to be decided.

I'm Ready to Bring It!

As I think I mentioned in one of my previous blog posts, I am trying going to get my ass in shape. For serious. Anyone heard of Beach body's P90x program? It's 12 DVDs of exhausting, painful, butt kicking (In the good way. Mostly.) workouts that use a method called muscle confusion to whip your bod into shape in 90 days. I've been doing the workouts for the past month, but I find that I am in serious need of some re-commitment. So, I am setting myself some ground rules.

(click image for the blog of an already successful P90x lady. Very inspiring, maybe my workout soulmate. I mean, Chipolte diet??? Working out to look like your favorite RPG character?? Come ON! I want to eat Chipolte every day and be as hardcore as Marian Hawke!)

1.) No "I'm too tired today" breaks. If staying out till 2am is going to make me miss my workout, I won't stay out till 2am. It'll make me miserable in the morning anyway. (I will sub workouts-for-workouts though. If I play paintball all day, I'm not coming home and doing Ab Ripper X. My abs will have been ripped already, thank you very much.)

2.) I will make my way through the entire workout as best I can. I've been getting discouraged too easily...if pushups are too hard for me, I'll try a few, swap the rest for some cardio, and move on.

3.) Diet, diet, diet! I have been pretty good about not drinking soda, and I haven't had fast food in weeks. (Go, me!) BUT, my eating habits could still use some help... plus, I am starting a new job where packing a lunch isn't going to be convenient, so I need something to keep me disciplined. My method of choice? A photo diary, combined with calorie counting through My Fitness Pal. They even have an android app, so no excuses for me!

4.) No matter how tempting it is to slip Red Dead Redemption (Undead Nightmare Expansion OMG) into my Xbox instead of a P90x DVD, I will KEEP PRESSING PLAY.

So there you have it. My game plan.

Now for some motivation in the form of self-inflicted embarrassment.

I did take the standard Day 1 P90x photos, but I'm not masochistic enough to want those out in the big wide world just yet. Those will probably stay safely hidden on my memory card until I have some awesome Day 90 photos to put up next to 'em. This bikini picture will just have to do for you guys! It was taken only a couple days ago, and will represent my starting point.

Bust: 37.5 inches

Waist: 33 inches

Hips: 39.5 inches

Thighs: 37.5 inches

Bicep: 12 inches

Weight: 150 pounds

And there you have it. More information about my body than even my sister. (Unless you're reading this, Stacy!) I will weigh in daily, and re-measure every Monday. This girl is ready for some changes!!! (And to maybe look like these gals?)

Nothing like a dose of inferiority to jump start a diet, eh?

Be back later with my workout/diet entry for the day!

Love!
