Before and After

Since very few people visit my little corner of blog land I am thinking about putting a few before photos here.

What do you think?

Last time I tried to do P90X I couldn't even make it past the warm up.  Today I did the UML workout of the intro disk.  I made it past the warm up and half way with the work out portion.  I had to modify some of it.  My hands don't like the push ups and my his didn't like that sumo wrestler walk thingie.  That didn't stop me from working though.  I kept working with a few changes. During the push ups, I used my hand weights and during the sumo stuff I did lunges.

I worked hard enough that I lost a little modesty.  I lost my baggy t-shirt and worked in just my snug undershirt.

I feel the workout the most in my abs and some in my arms.  I'll call it a good day.

Bad news is that the shakeology stuff isn't going to work out for me.

Oh well.  It was a good try.

Three sips into it the nausea hit and then hives.  Allergies strike again.  I guess I'll just stick with my home made smoothies. The histamine is attacking something in the shake.  More exercise doing the wiggle dance walk trying not to scratch.

  1/2 c skim milk
  1/2 c non fat plain yogurt
  1/2 c berries or fruit

I don't add any sugar or juice.  That is it.  I drink that for one of my 3 meals during the day. It is great after a work out.  Frozen fruit works best.  It makes for a creamy desert.  Not very sweet but who needs the sugar?  For an afternoon snack I eat a koshi bar (watch the sugar and protean in these.  Some are better for you than others.) Breakfast and morning snack varies a little more.  Supper I eat with my family.  I don't make them eat the supper healthy stuff I like.  If i had my way we would eat spinach salad every evening.  My kids are less than impressed.  But I still try to make the meals as healthy as possible.
