the 1st week

Thus far, I'm down only 3lbs, I must admit I'm disappointed. I write down everything I eat and ran a total of 10 miles last week along w/following p90x. I guess it's better than gaining? Today is the Core Synergistics workout. Joy

BITE IT WRITE IT
4oz yoplus (110 calories)

1 6in subway chicken salad sub (wheat bread, no cheese)
1 bag baked lays (120 calories)
1 20oz diet coke

day 2, thus far. . .

So last night I did the Core Synergistics workout (waaay too late). So killer, my core is weak and I have to do all the push-up moves girl style. Today, instead of doing Cardio X (I may still do it I'm undecided) I got up early and jogged for 3 miles. Slow and steady may not always win the race, but it still burns calories!

IF U BITE IT, WRITE IT
Thus far my menu for the day has been
BREAKFAST: 1 bowl instant peaches and cream oatmeal

(early) LUNCH: gourmet ramen noodles, my own recipe!
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 slices bacon
pepper to taste
1/4 c onion
1/4 c spinach
1tbsp soy sauce
1 crushed garlic clove
1 egg
1 pack ramen noodles (no packet seasoning used)

These are just a list of what I put in, if you would like details of how I put it together, feel free to ask. More later, I'm sure.

Day 1!! (confessions of a couch potato)

'The journey of 1000 miles begins with one step" ~Confucius

Never have I taken that quote more to heart, than when I exercise! About me, briefly: I am a 30yr old SAHM with 3 kids, and have been married to the love of my life for 8yrs. My absolute favorite things to do? Sit on the couch, eat Doritos. I also have a kindof love/hate relationship with food. . . well maybe that's not quite accurate. I love to cook, or rather create delicious food for my friends and family. Nothing is more satisfying than to put together arbitrary ingredients and in the end have a masterpiece. I love complicated and the simple. As long as I can make food to please, I am a happy lady.

The problem? I also want to be THIN! Svelte. Strong. Smokin' Hot. Unrecognizable as a mom of 3. Envy of the playgroup. Get the picture? I'm also a bit impulsive and impatient, so any workout program that yields quick results is one that I will gravitate toward. . . So I am going to document my progress. Day by day. My weapon of choice? P90X Lean program. This should get really interesting, folks, hold on for the ride of my life.

XOXO, Michelle.

P.S. Today I will be doing the Core Synergistics workout, a combination of Kenpo, Core and some weights. I'll post my stats (height weight BMI all that jazz, just don't ask for my phone #) And a pic for all of you who have had a light lunch. It's about to get a little uglier in here! ;))
