I was down to 270 on the nose from using myfitness pal and just simply moving more. I slacked off for a while, and then took my trip to New Orleans. When I got back I was all the way back up to 278, which was upsetting, but not completely shocking. I am back down to 273 today after just eating right and starting P90X last week. I really only did a few workouts last week, but I also played tennis or softball nearly every day that I wasn’t working out.
This week I did a quick version of Chest and Back on Monday by just doing many of the exercises that Tony Horton uses in that workout. Tuesday I played volleyball (we won 2 out of 3 from a decent team…yeah). Today I am going to get back to P90X with Shoulders and Arms, and I plan to push it much harder. I like the fact that the scale moved in the right direction, but I really want to push myself harder to see what types of changes I can really make. Slow, but steady improvements are great, but in the shape I’m in the jumps in fitness and strength could be much bigger.
I definitely feel better when I eat decent and workout, regardless of they type of movement or if I’m tracking every calorie. I do want to get things dialed in really good over the next couple of week though so I can see what I’m really capable of. Hold me to it, because slowly but surely isn’t necessarily the mantra I want. I want to make major changes that get people asking me what I’m doing.
Enjoy!
