It’s all up to me

Today was a fun day but I can definitely tell we’re inching toward winter.  My sister watched Kyle for us and we took our older son to a pumpkin patch w/a corn maze.  I didn’t think I was going to get in any exercise today but that corn maze was huge and we didn’t follow our map very well so I got at least a 45 minute walk through mud.  Finally I took the map from my hubby and navigated us out of there.  And they say women can’t read maps!!!  But we had fun.

For those of you who were wondering, P90X is a workout program developed by Tony Horton.  If you ever watch fitness infomercials, they’re on all the time.  Basically, the 90 days are broken into 3-30 day intervals.  The first 3 weeks of each interval are intense and the 4th week is a recovery week.  Then the intensity goes up during the next 4 weeks so that you’re constantly making progress.  He uses weight training, plyometrics, kempo karate (I don’t know exactly what this is but this is the cardio component), ab routines and yoga/stretching.  The results really are phenomenal but I know I’m not fit enough right now to even contemplate it.  There are lots of pull ups, push ups, etc. and I can’t do them.

For now I’m exhausted and ready to give my kids to the next person who walks by so I’m going to sign off.  I’ll write more about my new goals tomorrow when I’m more sane.

Progress toward workout goal:  77/250

Oh geez, I forgot to report my weigh-in.  244.5.  After my mini-binges on Friday and Saturday I’m very pleased w/that.
