Day 4

I finally made it through a whole workout!!! WAHOOOOOO!!!!! Lets rewind a second and talk about yesterday though. Yesterday i was suppose to do arms & shoulders and then ab ripper. After some difficulty getting the DVD to play (apparently i need a new DVD player) i was able to get the DVD to work on my bedroom TV. But my knee had been bothering me all night and i only got about 15mins into the workout before my whole leg was shaking and i just could not handle the pain of standing on it anymore so i stopped. So i give myself credit for at least attempting the workout.
Now lets talk about today's workout because i finally got through a whole DVD. It was cardio X and i got through all 50min of it. Go me! I of course was about ready to drop dead when it was over but i got through it! Maybe this will get easier after all!

day 3....feel the burn

Today is day 3. my whole body hurts. it hurts in places i didn't know could hurt. It hurts to sneeze even. This is the part about starting a workout routine that sucks and no one likes. Today is day 3 and i have to do arms and back, and ab ripper. I'm betting it will really hurt to sneeze tomorrow. Yesterday i did YogaX, it is an 1hr30min video and i again only got 40mins into it before my body just would not move anymore and boy was i hurting in places i didnt know could hurt. It did feel good for about 10mins to stretch out those sore muscles and get things moving again but then it got into some pretty complicated things that i just could not physically get my body into those positions as smoothly as the people on the video. I really wish they would put someone who sucks on that video so i wouldn't feel like such a loser. Seriously i know yoga isn't suppose to be "hard" exactly but it's sure not easy either!! The group on the video transitioned into those positions with suck ease and i literally could not do that. I had to stand up and put myself into each position instead of smoothly being able to go from one to another like your suppose to.
In the end it wasn't too bad but i have bad wrists and they just could not handle all that weight on them. I actually thought at one point i was gonna break myself it hurt soooo bad that i decided that i had reached the end of my pain tolerance and decided to stop. After all it's not gonna help me lose weight if i break myself the 2nd day in.

Day Two!

Today is day two. apparently i was suppose to do Yoga X yesterday, but since i cant read half the time i did the wrong DVD. SO i will do Yoga X today instead. That is after i find some Tylenol and some serious inner motivation because i am HURTING today! my legs, arms, stomach they all are very sore. Don't worry its not a broke, torn overdid it hurt, i just need to get use to this much exercise every single day. i should be better in a few weeks and I'm hoping that these workouts don't literally suck the life from me and make me feel physically ill.
Must find the energy to keep moving forward. I watched an episode of the MTV show I use to be fat yesterday and if those people can drop a whole person 3-4 months then i can drop 20-30lbs! Must stay focused.

my P90X Journey day ONE!!

So I've decided to Blog my P90X Journey to weight loss. For those of you who don't know anything about P90X it is an INSANE and INTENSE program designed for extreme weight loss, and an overall lifestyle change. It takes 90 days and I'm hoping to lose 20lobs. I will post before pictures and measurements tomorrow but here is a mini recap of day one.

I am doing the lean program, as it contains the most cardio which is important in burning fat. Day one for me is Core synergistics. it kicked my BUTT!!!! It's a 57 min workout and i only got 40 mins in before i literally could not get myself off the floor. I thought my heart and lungs were gonna burst out of my body and i think i sweat off a pound. it was INTENSE. It's going to take some serious motivation to do that to myself again tomorrow.

a new year, a new blog!

Hi and welcome to 2009! 2008 was a pretty awesome year and i'm hoping that 2009 will be even better. Finges are crossed that Obama can bring on some much needed change in our hurting country right now. Real estate is going downhill fast, no one can get approved, so one can get out from under houses they should not have bought in the first place and in a nutshell it's a HUGE standstill!

Emma had 2 weeks off from school, a snowday the day before vacation, and now today it's way too nasty to even think about sending her to school! This is the joy of living in CNY i guess, other people panic about 3 inches of snow, we send our kids to school in icy and snowy conditions. Natalie has started talking up a storm, and is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to poppng through some teeth! She has 2 huge bumps in her mouth, but no tooth yet! I wonder what the doctor will say about that? I have also started my very own WAHM business and i'm hoping it will be a huge sucess in 2009. I have a co-owner, my friend Danielle, and we make cloth diaper accessories. Wetbags, wipes, and inserts and all be bought right here in CNY by two mom's who strive to get quality products into CNY's local cloth diapering experience. There is another mom who makes wetbags, but she might as well sell paper bags because hers are not 1/2 the quality ours are, and her business is shady at best. If you need cloth diaperings accessories and would like to buy them from 2 CNY mom's trying to get the best of the best out there, please just leave me a message or send me an e-mail at diapersewingmamas@yahoo.com

2009 will be a skinnier year for me. That is my ONLY goal, and i'm already working very hard at it. My good friend got Engaged on christmas day, and i want to give her the gift of a skinny bridesmaid for her wedding...so bring on the salad and exersize. My whole body works but it is all worth it if i can get myself looking the way i did in college again!

Cheers to a new year, a new me, and hopefully a fun filled year for all!

short sale????!!!!

So i figured out today WHY excatly they call short sales, short sales....and it has NOTHING to do with the timeframe at all! They call it a short sale because A) Pain in the ass was taken and B) because everyone involved is short on sanity by the time everything is said and done!
Ok lets rewind a second shall we, im working with a client that put in an offer on a house that is going short sale, they put in this offer on October 14th......it is now December 4th and we won't get the green light until next week.....sort on sanity are my clients? Just a tad!! But the good news is we WILL be getting the green light next week....im so excited i could dance on the rooftop, and my clients share the same excitement with me! The fact that is deal will be moving in a forward direction soon is really making life alot easier to deal with right now!


Things are aerie are going positive as well, after a rough few weeks things are getting straightened out and i feel alot better about my position there and the key role i play. This brings me great pleasure because i do enjoy my work, i enjoy the company and i enjoy the contrubution i can make to my family. So two thumbs up to the hard working team at my store.
Now some random pics for your viewing pleasure!
