P90X - Kenpo!
Lots of punching and kicking. I like to make the noises Mac from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia makes when doing karate moves. :-) I noticed that with most of the exercises I want to quit around 20 minutes in and by 40 minutes in i'm ready to finish it out. It's nice to know I can make it the whole way.

Day 104 - 12 Weeks Down

Weigh In: 199.0 (-0.8 /-39.0)

Week 12 - 199.0 (-0.6) - Not a lot of weight loss this week. I was down almost to 198 before Friday when I started eating out more over the weekend. Also I think the p90X might be kicking in somewhat and causing some muscle gain. Anyway...back on the diet today and we'll see how things go. Still not bad to lose 39 pounds in 12 weeks.

This mornings P90X workout was Legs & Back. Again I don't think my legs are all that strong so had a hard time doing a lot of the lunges and squats but looking forward to the future and seeing how I do with each workout over time.

P90X - Shoulder & Arms / Ab Ripper - I enjoyed the Shoulder & Arms probably most of what i've done so far. I could barely do any of the exercises in the Ab Ripper today. My body does not want to move.

Day 108

Weigh In: 198.2 (-0.8/-39.8)

So I started P90X this morning. Had to get up at 6:30 AM which if you know me is almost an hour earlier than I normally wake up. This morning was Chest & Back. I have to say I didn't think I was going to do very good since I have very little upper body strength and it was really hard. The push-ups were the hardest even trying to do them easier. I know it's only the first day and I should get stronger over the next 12 weeks and can't wait. I felt pretty nauseous with 20 minutes left in the workout but made it through. Was also supposed to do the Ab Ripper part but I figured with not feeling good I should do that after work so more on that later.

Dinner - 7:15 PM
Tilapia - 200 calories
Corn - 100 calories

The Tilapia, I think, was the best fish i've had so far. Just the tenderness and taste. It was very delicious.

Snack - 8:30 PM
2x Weight Watchers Chocolate Raspberry Popsicle - 160 calories

Had 2 popsicles since my calories were so low for the day. Seemed really odd because the pizza for lunch had so many calories.

Weigh In: 199.6 (-0.6/-38.4)

Week 11 - 199.6 (-3.4) - With not really sticking to my diet over the past 3 days this week turned out to be quite a surprise in weight loss. Maybe the saying that you need to eat enough food to lose weight really is true.

Snack - 8:30 PM
Fudge Shoppe Fudge Grahams - 100 calories

Watched The Social Network and actually thought it was pretty good. The issue was it made me feel like I haven't been doing as much as I can in my life. I feel like I could be doing so much more just don't have the inspiration or motivation to do it. Also gave me this feeling like my brain is locked. That I can feel all this thought and innovation but can't access it.

Total for the day - 1210 calories + Dinner - Gym

So i've been thinking about moving the liter boxes to the basement but I didn't want to have to leave the entire basement door open. I had bought a metal shelf to put them on to keep them off the floor since it gets wet. So I just installed the little kitty door. It needs a little bit of sprucing up in terms of color to better match but it turned out pretty good. Once the basement dries out I will begin the transition.

Day 120

Weigh In: 203.4 (-1.4/-34.6)

Woo...totally blew away all that weight. I really think it had to do with sodium intake...well at least the first 2 days. I just ate too much Thursday night. I really think I can get to 200 by the end of next week.

Was going to go to the Heart Walk with Steve & Amy this morning. I went to sleep around 10:45 but waking up at 7 I just totally didn't feel like it. So went back to bed till 9:30. :-)

Used my exercise ball for the first time today. I must say it's crazy how much my abs hurt after doing some crunches using it.

Clock change tonight...can't wait for it to be lighter out later. Pretty soon it'll be warm enough to play golf or at least hit balls.

Total calories for the day - 1705

Day 121

Weigh In: 204.8 (+0.6/-33.2)

A tad bit of weight gain but can I really be upset considering I'm pretty sure the sodium levels in pickles is making me retain weight? No pickles today so we'll see what tomorrow brings. I've felt so run down the past few days.

No weight loss today...but not really a surprise considering how much i've lost of the past couple of days. Also had a pickle with dinner last night and realized how much sodium is in them. Will be interesting to see if I don't eat anything sodium laden today if i'll lose weight tomorrow. I might have to stop eating the pickles if so.

I really hope that once her mouth heals she will begin to eat more and be happier. I bought her some Fancy Feast cat food which looks way better than normal cat food. She's gonna be locked in the room for a week till she goes back for her checkup.
