Gearing up for the weekend!!

I woke up this morning, thankful it was Friday AND it was Back & Biceps day!! Every morning that I workout, by the end I am exclaiming, "This is my FAVORITE workout of all!" Thank you P90X and Tony Horton for creating such an enjoyable, challenging and results producing workout program! Tomorrow is Yoga day and I'm already pumped for it!!

This weekend we'll be flying solo as the hubby is on a super duper heavy, long, tall and wide load delivering about 1600 miles away. In addition to the normal day to day fun times, we will be adding one or two (maybe three or four) pinterest projects!! Sad for me Pinterest.com just crashed and I'm unable to access or make my plans. Oh!! There it is, back up and running now. Here is my weekend plan:

Workout plan:
YogaX - Saturday
Legs & Back - Sunday

Pinterest project plan:
Sweet potato chips (ok, not really a project per se, but I have a couple of lonely sweet potatoes hanging out in the pantry and I figured what better way to use them up... make Jack and I some yummy, nutritious chips) - http://pinterest.com/pin/252412754086104031/
Big Caterpillar Craft for kids - http://pinterest.com/pin/252412754085724829/

Possible additional or replacement project - Plastic bead sun catcher - http://pinterest.com/pin/252412754085912864/

Misc. other plans:
Review my Independent Team Beachbody Coach materials - My Personal Beachbody Coach Website
Finish painting the entry from the garage into the kitchen (touch up and finish off at the ceiling)
Get all that laundry done
Pick a closet and organize it


I foresee a lot of Mighty Machines, Dora and  Diego and Umi Zoomi in my weekend as well. Fun times shall be had by all!!

P90X Week 7 Day 1

And so begins week 7. I am over half way to becoming a P90X grad!! What an awesome feeling so far... the accomplishment of just being disciplined enough to stick with my morning workouts is exciting enough to me. My confession for today, I have been incredibly disciplined with working out, giving it my absolute best and I haven't missed one single workout. I have not been as successful or disciplined about my eating choices. Now I must start by saying I am an averagely healthy eater by nature. I do not eat fast food, I do not snack on unhealthy snacks, I do faithfully watch my portion sizes. What I am guilty of doing is not getting the proper snacks, nor the correct balance of proteins, carbs, etc. Therefore, as I begin part 2 of my P90X journey, I am dedicating my focus on my nutrition. I for one know the importance and role proper nutrition plays in building muscle, maintaining or losing weight, and helping with overall health. Following it to a T is a different story. My biggest challenge is dinner. Sometimes I flat out skip dinner... or have a handful of popcorn, a slice of cheese, little nibblers like that. I used to religiously strive for 5 (or7) servings of veggies or fruits a day. I am sad to report I have not met that goal in the past 7 weeks on a day to day basis. Enough said, it begins today, proper nutrition is a MUST and I have already started my meal plan and will have no problems sticking to it. Very anxious and excited to see how this effects my ultimate goals and progress.
