Bringin it!

I am pleased to say that I see some change in my body since restarting P90X! Nothing dramatic but progress is progress!

Bringing Sexy Back: P90X - Round 2

Ladies (and gentlemen)! As you will remember if you read the blog last year, I started and fell in love with P90X. Then I slacked off and never mentioned it again #fail. Well I'm starting again!

I have 30lbs to lose. My goal is my birthday, May 9 2011! I wanna be fit! I wanna be healthy! And I will do it this time. Accountability is the key here. I have my motivators in my corner, I announce what I'm doing openly to the world so I have the accountability, I take pix everyday to see my progress as I go. I.AM.FOCUSED!

This summer I'll have a sexy beach body, mark my words!

I am going to post pix on fotki in my private folder so you can hit me up for the password if you'd like to see.

I also may post pix as I near my goal so we'll see! Super excited!

Sexyback: Wishful Thinking

One of the things that helps with weight loss is to visualize yourself at your goal weight. So I'm giving it a shot.

If I could pick the body I wanted, I might go for a Kim Kardashian, or a Nicki Minaj, Or Vanessa Veasley!

At this point its wishful thinking... but I'm getting closer and closer every week.

Diet and Exercise

I had an epiphany yesterday!

It JUST occurred to me why so many different diets exist all claiming to be the next miracle diet.

I mean there is the obvious, money making portion of it. I have no doubt that, that's a huge part of the reason but it also comes down to the fact that everyone is different.

I have been doing P90X for six weeks now and I've noticed that I get more visible results when I do the cardio workouts rather than the weight training.

I decided to do some research on body typing and meeting the requirements of each body type early this past week.

After reading, and re-reading, and reading some more I discovered that I am a gynaeoid body type. I read some further and more and more I saw myself in the descriptions, right down to the types of foods I crave!

So for the rest of the week I followed the dietary suggestions and maxed out my cardio workouts. I also added serious stretching and pilates and I can actually SEE a physical difference. My midsection is leaner, I feel lighter, and I have more energy.

I'm sticking with this! My goal was for the end of July to have the body I know is underneath all that flubber. Now I see that it's more than just a possibility, it's a likelihood. AMEN!

I'm bringing sexy back y'all!

Thanks for reading!

Go 'Head Be Gone Wid It!

lol.. I'm gonna run out of Sexyback lines soon.

So, I'm finished phase one of P90X. I took pictures before and after and I really DO see a difference! I couldn't stop looking at them! It's great.

I've been wearing a lot of baggy shirts and stuff lately because I want to do a big unveiling afterwards but I see the changes. No one else needs to yet.

I'm really beginning to love my new body.

Imma get my sexy on y'all!

Gettin Ma Sexy On

So I've restarted P90X a couple times (epic fail!) but I've made a serious commitment this time. My birthday was on the 9th and that day I decided to just do it all the way through and be done with it so I did. It's been about a week and a half and guess what! My midsection is already looking more toned (not a whole lot but more than it was) and I've lost 2lbs! Wooo!

I'm really gonna do it this time and Imma bring sexy back y'all!

I already bought a sexy bathing suit as my victory celebration and I'm excited.

Thanks for reading all!

Bringing Sexy Back... Again (?)

I'm a slacker in the worst way! Remember all my talk about P90X? Well I was starting to see actual progress in my body that I'd never seen before but then life happened. *sigh*

School accelerated and all my extra-curricular stuff intensified. My eating and my fitness waned and before I knew it, it had been two months since I even attempted P90X.

It's pretty sad because I used to be a work-out addict. I set myself back. I need some accountability. I had a goal and I keep pushing it back but I have to stop doing that. Summer is about to be here and I'll have no excuse. I won't have assignments to take up my time.

Anyway.. thanks for reading ladies and gents! You are great folks!

Getting Ma Sexy On!

As I mentioned a little while back, my roommate and I are on our "Bringing Sexy Back" mentality this year.

Recently we started doing a program from BeachBody.com called P90X.

I dunno if you'd ever heard of it but this workout routine is INTENSE!

I workout regularly and pretty strenuously, I thought. I was losing inches just doing my own thing but it was slow. I was definitely a lot stronger and could lift way more than I ever had before but I didn't see many changes in my appearance, not in the areas I want to see change anyway.

P90X is NO JOKE! I've done it for 3 weeks (barely, off and on) and I see things changing in my abs, arms, and shoulders. Those are my trouble areas. I fight with them and never see a thing change but after this workout for a pretty short time i see it!

Mad excited! Its a 90 day thing so I can't wait till I'm done.. its gonna be intense! I'll post pix and be all vain (lol).

Anyway.. I'm happy. More than just my hair is changing now.

Thanks for reading ladies and gentlemen!

Bringing Sexy Back in 2010!

My roommate and I have made a resolution this year. It's gonna sound familiar because it's one that EVERYONE makes on Dec. 31 but forgets, or quits by Jan. 7.

We're gonna get in shape. Not just saying it, we're DOING it! Both of us WILL be bikini ready this summer.

Her goals are slightly different from mine but I can share with you where I'll be going.

My weight is in the healthy range for my height so that's not what I'm concerned about. What I want is a redistribution of the fat on my body, and to lower my percentage of body fat.

I'm gonna be a beast in the gym this year.

I have a fairly muscular body type which means I can gain or lose weight pretty easily depending on what I'm doing. When I work out regularly I see results in as little as two weeks. But when I slack off (which I usually do once I notice results) I go right back to where I was in about 2 weeks. Not everyone loses inches and gets tones the same way. Some people slim down with a lot of cardio. I'm not one of them. I have to lift weights. Strength training is the BOMB for me!

This year I will NOT slack off. I will track my progress and keep pushing till I get where I want to go. Once I get there I'll just maintain. I'm super excited because I went Thursday and today and though sore, I feel SO GOOD!

Thanks for reading ladies (and gentlemen?)!
