Les Mills Combat Live Ultimate Warrior's Workout and lost 3 1/2 pounds this week

Good morning! This morning's workout was Les Mills Combat Live Ultimate Warrior's workout, which felt great to do. I'm also pleased to say that I lost 3 1/2 pounds this week, taking me down to 118 pounds. I'm glad to be down below 120 again, I'm hoping I can lose a little bit more next week so I can have a little "cushion" for Christmas week.

I've also started looking into ways to keep myself motivated to stay in shape - not that the weight that I've lost and the strength and energy I've gained isn't enough, but I'm beginning to feel like I need more of a challenge. I was looking into fitness competitions, because I can't see myself doing anything like a marathon or even half-marathon, but all of them look kind of scary...LOL. I don't know, I guess I'll keep looking.

P90x Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X

Good morning - this morning I did P90x Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X.  That workout is all push and pull exercises (lots of push-ups and pull-ups) but it's effective.

Also been thinking about what I'm going to do to get through the holidays without gaining too much weight - I'm not sure what Kevin and I are going to be doing for the holidays, so I'm really not sure how to plan. I think we're going to be sticking around here for Christmas at least, so I may be able to to do some kind of short workout. I guess I'll just have to see as the week gets closer. For now, I at least know what I'm doing for the next two weeks.

Power Kata

Good  morning everyone - it's been a few days since I posted, and I apologize for that - the last few days have been busy for me. I'm glad to say I have worked out every day except Monday, which is usually my rest day anyway. Yesterday I did shoulders and arms and Ab Ripper X - this morning I wanted to do Extreme Cardio Fighter, but ended up being a little short on time because I had to finish up a project, so I ended up doing Power Kata instead. It's ok though, I still got a good workout from it. Going to try to just alternate my P90x and Les Mills Combat workouts the next two weeks -- not sure what I'll do Christmas week, I'll porbably try to workout as much as possible.

Hope everyone has a great day! What are you plans for getting through the holidays without gaining too much weight?

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Day 88 - Kenpo X

Good morning! I'm having a pretty good day so far today. I weighed myself this morning and found I'd gained a pound and a half, but that doesn't surprise me considering how much junk I ate last weekend, and the fact that my body has been trying to fight off a sore throat. This morning for a change of pace I decided to do P90x Kenpo X, because there isn't as much jumping around in it as there is in the Les Mills Combat cardio DVDs. It actually felt real good to do that video, I think I might have to add it back into my rotation. Tomorrow I'll d o Core Synergistics, and then Sunday will be X Stretch, and then I'll be done with this hybrid workout. I think for the rest of the month of December, I'm going to do the same type of routine I've been doing - P90x strength workouts alternated with Les Mills Combat cardio workouts. I'm also going to try to follow a clean eating plan that was posted in one of the groups I'm part of.

That's it for now, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Day 87 - X Stretch

Good morning! This morning's workout was X Stretch, which it felt great to do because I didn't feel up to doing a real intense workout. I'm still trying to fight off my sore throat, and I think it's just about gone - this morning I used one of my mother's home treatments, gargling with salt water. Yes, it's gross but it helps loosen up the phlegm. I'm also still drinking my herbal tea to keep my throat from hurting too much. and I'll do another salt water gargle tonight. Tomorrow if I feel up to it I'll do Les Mills Combat Power Kata.

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Day 86 - Core Synergistics and Fighting off my Sore Throat

Good morning! This morning for my workout I decided to do P90x Core Synergistics. I did pretty well at it, considering I'm still fighting off a sore throat. I've been drinking a lot of tea and eating other hot fluids like soup though, and drinking a lot of juice, so I'm hoping it goes away soon.

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Day 85 - Extreme Cardio Fighter

Good morning! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I'm sorry to say I didn't do one bit of exercise while Kevin and I were gone for the holiday, and I also pretty much fell off the wagon as far as eating right was concerned - I try, but it's  hard to eat right when you're traveling. About the most nutritious thing I had was I munched on some carrot sticks when I went over to my mother-in-law's on Saturday. I'm back now though, and starting to get back to it.

This morning's workout was supposed to be X Stretch, because I"m now in my last week of my hybrid workout, but since I haven't worked out at all in the past few days, I decided to do some cardio - I did Les Mills Combat Extreme Cardio Fighter and it felt great to get back into the swing of working out. After I do my last recovery week this week, I think I'm going to do a few more weeks of P90x/Les Mills Combat hybrid workout, plus I want to try to follow this clean eating plan that I found out about: https://www.facebook.com/events/1715299852033579/.

That's it for now, I'll post again tomorrow.
