    30 minutes of walking and 25 minutes of elliptical. Got 72% of my water goal. I keep working on drinking my water goal which is 72 oz a day.

    Another 30 minutes of walking intervals and 30 minutes of shoulders and feet. Had a late night last night, so up at 5:30 was tough. But it's done for the day, and I will get to bed early tonight. Have a fantastic day everyone!

    Did P90X3 The Challenge. It alternates between pull ups and push ups of different types. I did 150 push ups and 96 pull ups (with an assist band). My arms are toast after that. This workout is my least favorite of P90X3.

    I weighed myself for the first time in almost 2 months expecting to gain weight with the holidays and not working out due being ill over two weeks in December, but I lost a couple pounds. I'm now at 208.8 so goal is 195 by my birthday (Feb 28). I'd be super excited for under 199 then!

    45 min of hill climbs today. Was supposed to be yoga today but I felt I needed something that will make me really sweat. I crashed this morning had no energy and every thing took a tremendous amount of work even simple tasks, :s this was after eating my breakfast. Realized that I needed to move to phase 2 of the P90x eating plan. I had been doing phase 1 and it is 50/30/20 of protein/carb/fat. Phase 2 is 40/40/20. I also had been cutting calories hoping for a quicker weight loss, not a good idea!!! I felt so bad that I decided to have a bowl of stove top oatmeal after I had already eaten breakfast 1.5 hrs earlier. 45 min after eating it I felt great. So great that I decided to do the hill climbs instead of yoga. I have felt so great all afternoon. I have more energy today than in the past 3 days. This happens every round I do of p90x I can only handle the 50/30/20 plan for about 2 weeks or so then I crash. It does jump start my metabolism. I lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks. I don't have any doubt that now I will continue to lose, even moving to the 40/40/20 phase. Last round I did I lost the most during the 40/40/20 phase.

    Did P90X3 CVX which is a cardio workout while holding a weight (it was 10lbs for me). It is a tough, sweaty workout, but I like it. I didn't do so good on food last night with being at a work meeting.

    I'm totally in! My goal is to train no more than 4 times per week and improve my technique and breathing.
    This week I've done 2x Body Pump, 1x Body Combat and 1x HIIT. I will do either Body Combat or Body Balance on Sunday to send off the week with a blast.
    Body Pump is going great, I am lifting more than some of the more relaxed guys and loving it. The new Body Combat choreo is a bit confusing, but I am getting the hang of it. HIIT was much fun :-)
    I am drinking more water than recommend, so I'm actually working on reducing it. Less trips to the water cooler, smaller gulps of water, that sort of thing.

    Day 5: I kind of put together my own restorative/prenatal yoga practice using various poses and ideas from some of the videos and classes I've taken. I honestly didn't want to exercise at all today, but knowing I was doing this challenge helped me to keep going. So I did 30 minutes of yoga today. Water goal met. The peanut and I are still in this thing. Good job team!

    Great job everyone. Today ended up being my rest day. I got called into work unexpected and then one of my kids had 2 basketball games and one had basketball practice at a different location than the games so the 45 min break between games I was running to pick up the other at practice. Last game ended at 9pm and I still have farm chores to do. :#
