P90x-Week 2 Day 2

My body is sore. It hurts.  Especially today. I did the week 2 day 1 workout last night and I couldn't even get up to my alarm this morning.  When I did get out of bed my whole body ached.  But you know what? It hurts so good.  It took me a little while to get going today.  My husband left for school around 9am and I was still in my pajamas, sitting on the couch watching The Bachelor.  I think in my head I planned on being a vegetable today.  But then I watched The Biggest Loser and decided not to be lazy.  I got dressed. I even did my hair today.  I ate some healthy meals.  I played with my kids. I organized my desk which has been messy for a while.  I did several loads of laundry.  I accomplished a lot once I got my big lazy bum off the couch.

I want to back track a little bit.  Yesterday I weighed myself and I gained 2 pounds. I am now 157. What? I don't understand how that happened. I ate healthy and worked out hard and drank a lot of water.. If I was on the Biggest Loser I would have been sent home.  Hopefully this week I can lose some.  My overall goal isn't to lose weight, it is to get fit and healthy. But I also think I should lose weight in doing so. That just didn't  happen last week. I need to remember that muscle weights more than fat.  Here is an example:

This picture shows the same weight of muscle and fat

This picture is really motivating to me.  Even though muscle weighs more than fat it takes up less space.  So if I turn my fat to muscle I will be smaller. That is encouraging.

The scores came up for my healthy challenge. I am #2 out of seven people. I should be proud of that but I really want first so I need to do better this week.  I WILL do better this week.  I did the Plyometrics workout tonight and I worked out hard.  I am proud of how I did tonight. It is a hard workout but I kept going and I didn't give up.  Go me! haha.

Tomorrow will be hard but not brutal. It is arms and shoulders.  Bring it on.
