Here we go- again

Well, here it is a year later and after one pregnancy and the birth of another baby, we are back to the out of shape category. And we are tired of it and ready to do something about it!
We are starting P90X again. This time I thought I'd really try to log our diet and exercise for anyone that is interested in reading what we are doing and for our own motivation.
I just have to catch up b/c it is hard for me to get on here every day. So here's what we've done so far:

Mon- Breakfast- fruit/ protein shake: 1 cup of mixed frozen fruit, fat free milk, protein powder and ice. Mmm, it's good- chocolate flavored!

Snack: Protein bar- mmm, another thing that feels like cheating but it's not. Caramel nut blast.

Lunch: Club Salad. 2 cups lettuce, cucumber, tomatoe, green onion, avacado, broccoli, carrots, and 8 pieces of fat free deli meat- ham and turkey w/ fat free Italian dressing.

Snack: banana

Dinner: Pizza! Low fat whole wheat Pita w/ a little spagetthi sauce, 97% fat free turkey burger (seasoned like taco meat), and fat free mozzarella cheese w/ green beans on the side (no butter)

Workout: Chest and back- pullups and pushups. However I did "pull ups" with the bands this time- and it was so much better! Didn't make very many pushups each time- I was lucky if I got 10 doing it girly style. Billy of course pushes really hard and is now feeling it! What a workout. Abs was hard!!! I could barely do any of the exercises and now that we've done this before I can compare to when I was in really good shape. I kept thinking- I used to be able to keep up with them! We'll get back to that but I felt like I barely did anything in the ab workout and I'm still sore.


Tues- Breakfast: Fruit shake w/ protein powder

Snack: Protein bar- cookie dough this time- mmm, that's good!

Lunch: Chicken salad

Snack: All Natural Almonds w/ raisins

Dinner: Fajitas- whole wheat low fat tortilla, chicken breast cooked w/ no fat (add bell peppers and green chilis) and fat free refried beans. Had some corn on the side.

Workout- Plyometrics! It's a killer. Soooo hard. I did the motified version the whole time or even easier (like marching in place when I was burnt out) and still it was hard!! But I did it- and that always feels good!


Wed- Fruit shake- wanted eggs but didn't have enough time... still good the 3rd day in a row though- and really easy for a quick breakfast on the go.

Snack- another cookie dough bar b/c I liked it so much the day before

Lunch- Fat free sandwhich meat on a corn tortilla w/ fat free cheese and lettuce w/ some salsa. Billy had onions and tomatoes on his. (3 of them)

Snack- Low fat turkey jerky

Dinner- Chicken on the grill w/ italian dressing and worchestire sauce for seasonings... california blend vegetables on the side- and a whole lot of them!


Workout: Shoulders and arms- this was pretty hard b/c it was just so many repetitions but I like this workout. We were both sore and exhausted when we started it so when we finished we were pretty beat up. Billy's worried he won't be able to hold Jaren when we bless him b/c he'll be too sore- and then he'll be walking funny in front of the whole congregation. So if you're there watch for that. haha.


Thursday- Breakfast: Scrambled eggs- egg whites only w/ green onions and tomatoes topped w/ fat free mozzarella cheese and a veggie sausage on the side

Snack: Peanut butter protein bar

Lunch: Protein/ fruit shake

Snack: Almonds and raisins

Dinner: Meatloaf w/ extra lean ground turkey burger, a baked potatoe (a little olive oil and salt), and cooked broccoli, cauliflower and carrots.
