Updates

Well, here it is, the end of week 3 for me with P90X. I must say that I really enjoy the workouts. It's refreshing to see the people in the video working hard and gasping for air just like I am. That used to really annoy me when I would do a workout and the people in the video are not breaking a sweat or even breathing hard. I like to see everyone working hard like I am! I am trying to stay away from the scale right now and just go by how my clothes are fitting. My stats to date:
2 months ago, I went into Goodwill to buy some clothes since I was tired of wearing maternity clothes all the time and not being pregnant. I tried on several things. One of the things I tried on was a pair of size 16 shorts. I could not button the waist. This was a HUGE wake up call for me. So, fast-forward to 2 weeks ago, I went back and tried on a pair of pants size 14, and they fit! So, now I have a measurable size. I was wearing drawstring everything in size XL when I started my journey in January and  they are  just way too big on me now, so I am in size L in letter sizes. I have noticed that my shirts are fitting me better as well. I can start to see some definition in my arms when I flex them. Now just to get rid of the layer of fat that is covering them! I have also been doing some browsing around on the internet and blogging world. One of the things that keeps popping up is the word Paleo. Have you ever heard of it? Some of the blogs I subscribe to talk about it. So, I am looking into this way of eating. From what I can see, it's something that I think I would definitely like to try. The problem I think will be getting my whole family to go in on it with me. Also, it's not exactly a "budget friendly" way to eat. My husband is really into budgeting right now as he just got a second job so that we could stay afloat. I will be looking into ways to maximize my dollar, like the local farmer's market and any other sources that I can find. I will keep you posted with my progress and/or decisions in this area.
