Dieting

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:08:00 +0000

Quite Simply. We diet to lose weight. Usually the motivating factor involves fitting into that perfect outfit... or shocking friends/foes that you haven't seen in a while. There are way too many benefits to taking the time and thinking about what we are putting into our body to not give it a whirl.

you may not experience the toll that many serious illnesses can take on an unhealthy body
your energy level will increase
your immune system will become stronger which will mean fewer illnesses

A few things that I have come to realize:

Just because you eat a lot doesn't mean you aren't undernourished. If you aren't getting a varied, balance diet then you are basically still running on empty.
A diet will prevent and treat certain chronic conditions. Healthy eating can prevent the risk of developing cancer and heart disease. It helps control diabetes and high blood pressure, and can even reduce symptoms and manage an illness or symptom.
Most "off the grid" medica will recommend dietary changes to manage everything from epilepsy to infertility.

My goal this weekend is to come out with a complete 2 week meal plan and grocery list.

Nutrition is something that I currently struggle with... but if I can do Plyometrics... I can do this. I've been reading The Abs Diet books and watching a few videos... I'm ready to take this to the next level...

Come join me...

Nutrition

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Thu, 22 May 2008 02:07:00 +0000

I just purchased the Abs Diet book this evening. I'm going to read it. Make my grocery list and see how it goes. I feel like I have a good grip on the exercise portion of this... I can't believe that I am even in a position to say that! It's following through and getting the logistics down for cooking and eating regularly that's gonna be a doozie for me.

I'll keep ya posted.

P90X - Shoulder & Arms - Day 3

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:06:00 +0000

Muscle confusion (the principle of changing your routines to keep your body guessing) is the TRUTH!!!!

I enjoy doing the upper body workouts. I'm pretty secure in my ability to make it to the end of the workout. I already know that I'm going to be tired, winded, and sore... but this week...

Whew!!!

With INTENSITY comes fatigue... and my butt was whooped this morning on what still s one of my favorite workouts... lol

P90X - Plyometrics - Day 2

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Mon, 19 May 2008 13:47:00 +0000

Man-O-Manechevitz!!! ( I know that it's spelled Manischewitz) lol

The key word for today.... INTENSITY!!!!

I brought the guns with me today... I made sure I lifted higher... pushed myself a little bit more.

And felt the difference.... At the 24 minute mark... I thought that I was gonna hurl... FOR REAL!

Then I remember when Tony, at the beginning of the video, said... GET YA BUCKET!

I truly know what he meant by that now.

But do I ever feel wonderful!!!!

P90X - Chest & Back - Ab Ripper X (Day 1)

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Sun, 18 May 2008 15:01:00 +0000

Getting back on the horse full force is something else man...

All I kept thinking was... After this I get a reward...

What do I reward myself with you ask?

P90X Recovery Drink of course!!!!! Tastes like a orange creamcicle... I put my bottle of water AND my sports bottle in the freezer at the beginning of my workout and when I'm done I make a b-line for the freezer. Pour that bottle of water that usually has a few ice chips in it directly into my ice cold sports bottle and then rip open a packet of thw P90X Recovery Drink, Shake it up real good till it has a good froth on top then I sit in my easy chair and drink that thing down... Oh it feels so good too. Click the link to find it in the Beachbody Store... It is awesome!

(I added YouTube links to a friend of mine that demonstrates the moves in double time speed)

Chest and Back is something man. It's probably my favorite of the workouts. I have never had a great deal of upper body strength and this work continues to defy what I think that I am capable of. I still can't do the Decline Push-Up or the Dive Bombers but...

but....

but...

I actually did Ab Ripper X... immediately following the 60 minute Chest & Back Routine!!!!!!

I was frowning... panting... and cussing... I took more breaks than all of them on the screen combined... but you know what???

Never have I felt so accomplished! Every single day I get up and press play... and I feel like I can conquer the world! It's amazing what working out does to my psyche... my confidence... and my ability to focus on the various tasks that I have set on my calendar. Getting up a 5:00 am ( I had to push the time back so that I can have the time to do Ab Ripper X... I was using the time factor as one of my excuses as to why I couldn't do it) and checking P90X off my list is an amazing thing.

I can do this... And So Can You!

Let's Do it together. Meet me in WOWY! (online gym)

Lesson's Learned

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:19:00 +0000

After a much needed conversation with my Coach Derek and my friend Ty, I have a renewed sense of committment to my health journey. My mind was racing with thoughts as I hung up the phone. This one prevailed... and carried over to this morning.

I haven't posted since my birthday but I'm still pressing play ladies.

I felt a bit sick this morning and my mood isn't as chipper as it has been as of late... but I'm gonna keep it moving. I'm going to start my program all over... My birthday week sort of knocked me off my square as far as diet was concerned I'm still working out but not at the intensity that I know lies within me.

So come Monday... I'm gonna set fire to all this lusciousness... The P90X way!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 19

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Thu, 08 May 2008 13:42:00 +0000

Yeah I'm a little late with my post this morning...

It's been a busy day already... lol

Legs and Back wasn't so bad today. Still getting the slight nausea but no where as bad as it was when I first began this program.

I brought it a little harder this week so I am very proud of that...

and in the famous words of Tony Horton... That recovery drink is MONEY!!!!!

I usually put a bottle of water in the freezer right before I begin my workout and then pour that icy goodness in my water bottle, add the recovery drink mix, and then shake it till I get a good froth on the top... Yummy!

I thinking of these last three weeks as an opportunity for me to see what my body can do... getting a feel for P90X and my abilities within it.

Things I know...

I feel stronger,
My lung capacity had increased,
I feel better about myself.

What better reason than that do I need to keep pressing play?

Well I have a couple of clients that are looking to me for advice, guidance, and clarification. That will help me to bring it hard every time I press play!

Have an awesome Thursday. Today is the last day that I will walk this earth as a 33 year old woman. Tomorrow is my birthday!!!!!!

Curses, Curses, Curses....

***CHARPOWERFITNESS MINI CONFESSIONAL***

My eyes opened at 5:20AM.... Alarm blaring in the next room...

I looked over to my right to see if that mule that was there a couple of weeks ago had passed out from the exhaustion that he must be experiencing from kicking me in the head. He couldn't be found.

I got out of the bed... trudged to the bathroom to find the alarm clock

and... And... AND...

I PRESSED THE SNOOZE BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!

*GASP*

Got right back in my bed (then I got right out of it three minutes later out of guilt)

Popped Yoga X in and... PRESSED PLAY.

Where is a Topamax when ya need one!

I only made it to the 30 minute mark before my head felt like it was going to explode and I was gonna hurl.

Since I knew that it would look like a massacre in my apartment that I did not want to experience the joy of cleaning my carpet as a result of going forward.. I stretched my way right outta there.

Eventhough I didn't get as far as I did last week. i feel good about pressing through and getting in my 30 minutes.

A Little Flutter

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Tue, 06 May 2008 13:13:00 +0000

My back muscles (or something) is twitching. I almost want to call it a spasm but its more like a swelling dull pulsating ache that disappeared after about a 10 count.

Thanks Tony Horton :)

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:52:00 +0000

You ever watch that one man comedy show with... George Lopez?

It's the one where he says... "I got a pain in my chess and I cannot breaf"

Yeah... Say it just like that!

Or... Sanford & Son when Redd Foxx would grip his chest and look skyward saying "Ya, hear me Elizabeth... I'm coming to join ya honey... With... (whatever was causing him anxiety at the moment)

(If not... you need to step ya Comedy Central & Nick At Night game up... lol)

Well I got a pain in my side... and I can "breaf" just fine... NOW... hehehe And Elizabeth is going be waiting a while because I got Tony and the Kids in my sight!

Lawd-a-Mercy!

Every day... Is brand new in P90X.

Muscle Confusion is a beautiful thing...

Every Day... another muscle group is sore.

And the crazy thing is this...

I now look for that... soreness like it's a friend.

I am so enjoying my workouts...

They make me cuss...

They make me grunt...

They make me wobble...

But...

I am getting stronger...

My form is getting better...

And I continue to Press Play.

It's Tuesday yall!

I started bringing it at 5:30 this morning and I'm going to keep that momentum going throughout my workday!

You do the same!

Oh!!!! I am so excited that my Recovery Drink and my Coaching Kit will be arriving today!!!!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 16

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Mon, 05 May 2008 10:17:00 +0000

Yet another morning that my alarm goes off and I have had less than six hours of sleep.

I was so disoriented. I purposely keep my alarm clock in the bathroom (which is right next to my bedroom) so that I have to get up and move around in order to turn that thing off. At 5:30 in the morning... If that was in my bedroom I would turn it off and roll right back to la la land... lol

So I get up and walk with my eyes closed... to turn it off.

AND THEN I PRESS PLAY!!!!!

Evil... Evil... Evil...

Plyo & Nausea are synonymous for me... BUT not nearly as bad as week 1!!!!!

I'm getting stronger... my form is getting better... And I am hella excited about that.

There are a few moves where I can't leave the ground just yet but I just modify those and get on my tippy toes and reach as high as I can.

I'll be airborne soon with those....

I'll get you Tony Horton... next time

Oh yeah... There will be a next time...
This ain't over until the fat lady sings... Lucky for me buy the time I start singin'... I won't be a fat lady any more... lol

Oh BTW... I added a couple
of items to my page if you hadn't noticed. There's a page counter, and there is a link that will allow you to add me to your favorite RSS feeder.

Have an awesome Monday Folx

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 15

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Sun, 04 May 2008 15:43:00 +0000

Today is the day.... I realize... I have no core strength... lol

Sad yes... I know. I'm determined to change that.

Today Was Chest & Back. I got in really late last night from a concert and really didn't think that I would be up to meet my buddies in WOWY.

I feel great about my performance... although I still haven't been able to get up from that dive bomber. But that's better than not trying it at all... lol

But... Alas... at 8:15 this morning... my eyes were opened and I crawled out of bed.

I brought it today... and guess what?

I did Ab Ripper X!

Almost as soon as I got through the In & Outs I felt like I had to vomit. Yeah... it was rough. I kept pressing through the pain and discomfort and was able to do a good portion of it. My belly fat makes some of the moves awkward but I am doing my best. Even though I know that I'm not doing some of the moves exactly as Tony & the Kids are... I know I am doing my best. Each time I do an exercise my body is going to get stronger and stronger.

Keep Pressing Play Folx!

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Sat, 03 May 2008 12:45:00 +0000

Ok...

Ok!

OK!!!!

I truly approached this X Stretch as *just* a stretch.... BAD MOVE Char... lol

You would think that I should know better by now. Tony don't play that!!!!

There was one move that I couldn't even imagine doing... I can't think of the name of it but you start out on your back and slowly bring your legs in the air... straight up until your back is off the floor and you are basically resting on your shoulders!!!

WHAT?

I modified that move real quick. The day that I'm able to do that move without modification I'm gonna celebrate like you wouldn't believe!!!

I have always thought that I am pretty flexible... but there are some parts of my body that I can't wait to disappear. My belly for one thing... And my boobs... Those things get in the way like nobody's business!

Poof I say... BE GONE!!! Hahahahaha!

I know that all of these things will come in time. I am pressing through the discomfort and getting closer and closer to my mark... It's in my sights and I'm not losing focus!

I'm Alive...

This was a rough day. Not exercisewise... but life event wise... lol

I almost didn't get my workout in but eventhough my body was unwilling... I made it through!

I press on to take hold of that for which I have set in my sights... I am determined to get better and better... and exceed even my own expectations.

Legs and Back WHOOPED my butt!!!

And I loved it...

I feel good about what I'm doing here... I am confident that each step I take is moving me one step closer to where I need and want to be.

Life is good... and is only going to get better. I decided to become a part of the Team Beachbody Family and become a coach... I am excited at the prospects of helping others and the potential to affect change in peoples lives for the better.

What better way to do that than by teaching people about healthier lifestyles!

Kenpo Tomorrow... I Am Ready To Bring It... Are you?

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:24:00 +0000

You know... it's a good thing that I feel a sense of accomplishment with the other videos because I think Yoga is gonna be the death of me... lol Why in the heck do my elbows and knees ache?

No seriously... Don't get me wrong I still despise Plyo like it stole my darn Milk Money back in grammar school. But Yoga... is difficult... for me. There are two very apparent problems.... Well besides my tendons massaging my Central Nervous System...

I have VERY poor balance which I'm sure has a lot to do with my body make up
This one I hate to admit. My belly gets in the way and after all that compression from the vinyasa and chattarunga I feel severely nauseous after 40 minutes.

The first issue will take care of itself with these workouts... The more I do it the better I will get. The second one will take care of itself by a couple of means... After talking with my coach Derek yesterday I now hear him in my head saying... "Don't be afraid of Ab Ripper X... Attack it!" The nutrition plan that I am going to implement on Sunday, May 4, 2008 and the addition of Ab Ripper X will begin to tackle my belly bulge.

I am determined to conquer P90X. It's gonna happen... I feel the difference every day! As all of these things come together and I press through. I will see improvements with this and all of my workouts.

Great seeing you guys (hhardy, ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, FarmerTed)in WOWY this morning.

Keep Pressing Play... Even When Your Belly Is In The Way!

Cleanin' Out The Fridge

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:19:00 +0000

This weekend I started the process of purging my kitchen of the foods that I know are not a part of Michi's Ladder. It'll be interesting to see how I incorporate eating healthily into my crazy lifestyle. After talking with my wonderful coach Derek I am a little more at ease about my ability to grocery shop for meals that I would actually eat and prepare regularly. He sent me an easy to use list of allowable foods for the first phase of the P90X Nutrition Plan.

So I'm making my grocery list and meal planning this week and do my shopping this weekend.

Next Week... It's on! Oh yeah... ya girl is mad hyped!

Oh how I love to wake up in the morning at 5:20 and workout with Tony & the Kids...

Oh how I love to shower, dress, and pack my bag for work...

Oh how I love to discover that while it is 7:05am when I put my mascara on and I'm a mere minute and a half from leaving my apartment... I am not actually supposed to be doing that because I don't have to leave my apartment until 9:00am!!!!!

It's Tuesday you forgetful ninny!!! You don't have to be to work until 10am!!!! I could have slept in another hour!

I was so eager to get up and get my workout done that I totallly forgot that today was my late day at work... hehehe

I guess there are worse things in life... lol

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 10

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:38:00 +0000

Whew!!!! Whew!!! Whew!!!

I woke up this morning with a killer headache around midnight... You ever get one of those? I can honestly say that I haven't had a significant headache since I began P90X so it was a surprise when I woke up feeling like a mule had just kicked the hell outta my right temple.

I managed to get back to sleep and woke up at 5:20 to prepare for Shoulder's & Arms...

This workout isn't awful by any means. There are two parts that I really struggled with last week and struggled with this week as well but I was able to complete more reps and add the 15lb resistance bands to... So I know I'm getting stronger....

I still haven't touched Ab Ripper X... I know that will kill me for sure when I add it next week.

Great seeing you all in WOWY (ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, FarmerTed). It really makes me smile.

Keep Pressing Play... Even when there's a mule in the room... lol

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 9

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:47:00 +0000

Plyo is still the devil...

But this morning I went down there with my grillin' fork to fight 'em off!!!!

I still giggled when Tony cussed... That was the highlight of my workout..

Oh that.... and the fact that your girl made it *almost* to the end of her workout without feeling like the Plyo minions had stolen all of the oxygen out of my living room!

So while I still had 14 minutes to go... there were two things that I took note of...

I did twenty minutes more than I did last week
I only felt like nauseous at the 40 minute mark!

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo You know what that means... There is hope for this Fluffy Chic... Who won't be so fluffy for that much longer!

Keep Pressing Play Folx! It works.... If YOU work!

*You know how those twelve step programs have, well, 12 steps?

Well each of those P90X videos represents a step for me!!!!! You think its a coincidence that there are 12 videos? I think not.... P90X is therpeutic for me!

I know I won't be bikini ready in 90 days but my life has already been transformed in just 9!!!

Be Blessed and Have a Fabulous Monday!

(Great workout this morning in WOWY hhardy, ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, and FarmerTed).

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 8

noreply@blogger.com (Char Power) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 19:22:00 +0000

Still Sore from Kenpo.... I must be doing something right.

So I got up this morning and Pressed Play...

This workout was much more intense since I added the BeachBody Push Up Stands and the B-Lines Resistance Bands.

Whew! I certainly feel the difference from doing Chest & Back with the bands & stands as opposed to using nothing last week. I can feel myself being able to "Bring It" a littlle bit more intensely than I did last week. I am focusing more on my form than on the number of reps... I figure once the form is right... the reps will come.

My goal is to become stronger, faster, and leaner... I know it will come. I am a work in progress... and as long as I take at least one step every day I have done something huge for myself.

This week my Resistance Bands Upgrade Kit should arrive. Then I can simulate the chin-ups/pull-ups more accurately. I won't be ordering the recovery drink until Thursday so I won't get that until next week.

Have a great Sunday folx.

Why didn't anyone tell me that that the day after Kenpo that I would feel like a Mack truck had run me over and stamped "Day 6" on my @$$!!!!!!

While I WANTED to put that X Stretch in this morning.... I chose the rest option instead... I definitely need that recovery drink... Can't wait until it comes.

I'm ready for Chest & Back tomorrow!

Have a great night folx.
