Wednesday Work Out Music

I play this song. Yes, It's POD. I know I am 40-ish. It reminds me everytime I hear it to be praying for our youth. The school shootings, suicides and other tragedies that happen on a daily basis. Listen and read the lyrics. PRAY FOR OUR YOUTH!!!!!

I Survived!!!!

I can't believe it!  I actually did it!!!!  I survived week 1 of P90X!  I am absolutely sore in places I didn't know I had.  I didn't give up.  I didn't skip a workout! I watched my food!  I'm here to tell you it has been INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

Have you ever done P90X?  It is absolutely wonderful!!!!!  Things to remember (I discovered) are the following.....
1. Don't freak out if you can't do EVERYTHING on the DVD.
2. Do what you can for as long as you can. 
3. Get excited about it!
4. Work as hard as you can
5. Do the warm up and do the cool down!!!!!  That is a must!!!!!! 

So, next week is week 2.....I'm ready!!!!!!!

Bring It,
Pam

NO EXCUSES!!!!

There are NO EXCUSES!!!!!  I mean NONE!!!!!!! 

The other day I told you about the P90X program that I am doing.  This was the kicker for me.  I have had the program for about 2years.  I couldn't find my "plan" that tells you what DVD you do next. I decided while I was trying to find it, I would do some of the videos and work my way into it so to speak.

 Well I popped in the Plyometrics DVD.  This is basically jump training.  At first when Tony Horton comes on he talks about how this is the toughest one.  I'm thinking I have lost my head.  Then the DVD starts and he introduces the people on the video with him.  I was not prepared for this....... Remember, this is jump training, Plyometrics........one of the people has a prosthesis on his right leg!!!!!HELLO!!!!!!!  I HAVE NO EXCUSE WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!!!

 I LOVE jump training.  Can I get the rhythm done and get both feet off the floor at the same time?  Not yet but I am NOT going to give up.  That is NOTan option!!!!!!!  He inspires me every time I put that DVD IN!!!!!

 What inspires you?

 What motivates you to go and do it all again?

 Game on,

Wednesday Workout Music

I thought I would share some of the music that I have on my iPod that I listen to when I am at the gym or running the streets of Amory!!!!!

Stay Slim Tricks

Health Magazine (Health.com) January/February 2013 had a success story about a woman named Michelle deGennaro.  These are her Stay Slim Tricks

Track Your Progress
My Fitbit, which counts my steps, distance, and calories, gives me that extra bit of motivation to keep going.  I like seeing I've logged at least 10 miles on workout days.

Scale It Back
I don't weigh myself daily-if I'm up by even 1 pound, it does a number on my head.  Instead, I step on the scale just once a week and in general, judge my progress by the way I look and feel.

Schedule a Semi Splurge
I allow some flexibility on weekends.  Every Friday night, for instance, my youngest daughter and I go out for pizza.  It's my reward for eating healthy all week.


I think a lot of us do these things which are all GREAT!!!!  If not, give them a try!!!!!!!!
