Can’t nobody hold me down, oh no. Got to Keep on Movin!

I am feeling pretty motivated today. I have tons of energy and I am going to get stuff DONE! I swung by to grab a latte this morning… My one addiction! I saved the smoothie for this afternoon before practice. Tuesday’s practice was pretty good. I felt a little slow, but we did a lot of sprints and I am just not as fast as the other girls. Slowly but surely though, I feel like I am getting faster. My endurance has also increased. I am trying to incorporate at least 2 P90X workouts in my week in addition to two practices. Maybe I’ll even try to squeeze a hike in this weekend.

I really like P90X. The workouts are fun and challenging and I definitely see an improvement in my performance during the workouts despite only doing a few of them a week. When we get back from Alaska, I should have a new routine with practices on Mondays and the Fall season of Ultimate (hopefully playing on Tuesdays!). That will open up the latter part of my week to squeeze in more P90X workouts. So I am looking forward to that. My biggest challenge with P90X – the pushups. (I’m not even going to go into pullups) I can do girly pushups no problem. But I really want to graduate to regular push ups. There are so many exercises’ that I can’t do RIGHT because I can’t do a darn pushup! So maybe I will try to do 10 push ups a day to get me up to speed…

I am really happy with where I am physically.  I look great in my clothes and feel comfortable in a bathing suit. Neither of which I could say a year ago. It is really motivating to stay on track when I wake up in the morning and pull up my shirt to reveal a flat stomach. Things are much more firm where they used to be soft. It has taken SO long to become more toned, but what a world of difference! It is so much easier to stay in shape than to GET in shape.

Its good to be here.
