First Wedding Shower

I survived my first wedding shower!  It was so much fun, and we received so many nice gifts from our friends and family.  The food was delicious - three of my mom's closest friends (one of which is my godmother) hosted the shower, and the menu was just incredible.  A friend of mine from my previous workplace made chicken salad and pimento cheese, and she also made a white chocolate strawberry cake from scratch.  It was precious... and so tasty.  There were also a few plates of veggies and fruit to munch on, and one of my mom's friends made homemade mints.  What's ironic, though, was that she hasn't made those mints since my mom's baby shower...  which was for me.  I tried a few bites of everything, but I totally downed my piece of cake.  I must say, though that I was proud of myself for not overindulging in the yummy goodness.  I even managed to lose a pound yesterday!  I guess the Kenpo X worked wonders.

So far, I'm pleased with my P90X workout results in just a week.  Since last Monday, I've lost three pounds already.  Some of it is probably just fluid, but hey, I'll take it!  I'm staying focused and making sure that I look the best I can for the wedding and honeymoon...  and beyond.

Food Journal

So, these blog posts just about my food intake are boring.  BORING. So that's being nixed.

I'm now keeping up with my food just with a Word Document so I can print it out anytime.  It's just easier for me to visualize it that way... and less boring for you to read!

Food Log Day 2

To help keep myself accountable, I'm doing a food log that's separated just like the P90X breakdown.  Instead of counting calories, I'm managing my intake of specific types of foods, as well as using portion control.  The red font items are what I neglected to eat, which helps serve as a visual for me to see what I'm lacking.  Anyway, here's my Day 2 Log:

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack

Hello everyone!

It's been quite some time since I posted last on this site, and I've had many fitness ups and downs since that post.  I'm back online now to get in my best physical condition, especially since I'm getting married in a few months! 

Not only do I want to look great for our wedding and the honeymoon, but I also want to just look fantastic and feel great. 

I'm doing P90X Lean this go-around, and I'm confident that it will provide excellent results as long as I stick to the food guide and do the workouts as hard as I can.  I've never really finished a Beachbody program before due to unforseen circumstances (or sometimes just plain 'ole lack of motivation), but I'm determined that this time will be different.

P90X Lean and eating healthy will be my life for the next 90 days... and beyond.
