Power 90 W3D1 Day 15 Sculpt 1-2

Day 15 is finito and a great start to week three! My husband joined me today which was great! I even managed to do most of the push-ups from my toes! I slept in this morning because I went to see Arj Barker last night so got to bed late, so we worked out after work. I do not want to make that a habit because I could so easily have skipped it. It's great having the accountability to people because I don't want to have to come here and admit I missed a day. Plus I'm already finding that I enjoy working out...or, not that I enjoy working out so much but I enjoy how I feel after I've worked out.

I'm halfway to my 30 day pictures, I'm really looking forward to it and I want to see some of the changes that I know are happening and those changes will only become more apparent as each 30 day period passes. I've heard that the last 30 days is where the magic happens, personally I've never gotten there lol! My husband did Sculpt 1-2 with me today and when Tony said something like "this is the first phase 1-2" he said to me "you've never actually made it on to 3-4, have you?"...little git! It's sad because it's true. :P

Tonight we had my "go to" dinner of chicken and broccoli, snow peas, beans and carrots. All steamed with a cheese sauce (don't stress, the cheese was a total 100g of Philadelphia cream cheese). It made seven serves, two we ate tonight, two in the fridge for lunch tomorrow and three in the freezer for future meals when I don't feel like cooking. I cannot even tell you how much I love my Thermomix, I realised today that our freezer is so full of meals that I'm going to be forced not to cook anything or cook a minimal amount next week, what a shame... ;)

Anyway, must finish this and get some sleep. I need an early night tonight so I can get up in the morning and workout.

Power 90 W2D7 Day 14 Breaking Seminar

Just a quick one today because I'm about to go to bed. Today was my P90 rest day, we had a seminar on breaking for taekwon-do in the morning and we had to skip Oz Power because we had tickets to see Arj Barker perform in the evening and we wouldn't have had time to go home in between to shower. Quite funny but we were both tired by the end.

Week three begins tomorrow. :)

Power 90 W2D6 Day 13 Sweat 1-2

Week 2 is finito! After my post yesterday, today I pulled out my latest workout yet. In fact, all day it was in the back of my mind and I kept thinking "if you keep putting it off, you'll end up skipping it" and I seriously thought about doing just that but eventually I realised I was being stupid and that getting behind on my workouts at this stage of the game is a super bad idea! It wasn't too bad, Power Yoga DID kick my butt still but all in all, I felt like I'm getting stronger with the moves and that I wasn't getting as out of breath as I used to. Yippee! :D

I'm a slaaaaaave for food...

So as it happens, I'm loving my new active lifestyle. I have so much more energy already and I actually enjoy working out, it feels like there's a point to it, if that makes sense? If this is how I feel after a month and a half of eating better and exercising and at the end of two weeks of Power 90, imagine how I'm going to feel after finishing P90, I can't wait! I said to my hypnotherapist, if I could wake up tomorrow at my goal weight and with a healthy, fit body I wouldn't do it. I would feel ripped off because when you actually DO the hard work, you feel like you deserve your reward.

I'm learning how to control my eating habits and how to move my body so that I can get fitter. If I'm absolutely honest, I used to be a slave for food. It's really the best way to describe it, so much of my thoughts were based on food, I had cravings that would compete with any pregnant woman's cravings! In short, I was a junk food addict...junk food being used to term anything from McDonalds to frozen lasagne to Cadbury Creme Eggs! If I saw chocolate, I had to eat it, no matter how much I knew I shouldn't.

I have hated myself and my body for years...all the while stuffing my mouth with potato chips or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It was easy to do, in fact it was much, much easier to loathe myself for what I didn't do than it is to begin to love myself and do the things I have to in order to treat my body the way it deserves to be treated. I absolutely attribute the shift in my way of thinking to the hypnotherapy but at the end of the day I had to reach the absolute end of my rope before I could pick up the phone and make that call. I wanted to want to eat right and exercise. I'll admit, I do still eat some crap and you can see that on my food diary but nowhere near what I used to. That first day's food from the beginning of this blog? That was not an unusual occurrence. I shudder to think about what I used to eat and while I still allow myself some treats, they're just that, treats. One offs. Not for every meal.

I love that I can walk past chocolate and not spend the next half hour obsessing over it until I go get it. I love that I can not think about food outside of mealtimes, that I can look at the clock and say "oh, wow, it's time for lunch" and not "I don't care that I ate an hour again, I need more food!". My life has changed so much in the last month and a half that it sometimes astounds me. It amazes me that I lived my life the way I did for so many years.

I finally feel free.

Power 90 W2D5 Day 12 Sculpt 1-2

Day 12 is in the books! It's a public holiday here for the Queen's birthday so I worked out a bit later in the day than usual, I've decided not to make that mistake again. It's too hot in the afternoons, ugh!

I had to remind myself again today that the scales are bogus...mostly because when I weighed myself this morning, I'd lost 0.7kgs since yesterday! That being said, I did do Yoga X at 9pm at night, finishing at 10:30pm so maybe my body was burning a whole heck of a lot of fat overnight hahaha!

I must be certifiably insane...

I just completed Yoga X for shits and giggles!!! I have no idea why, well possibly because all day I'd been looking forward to going for a run this evening (that in itself is a miracle) but then when I got home my husband didn't want to go and I don't want to go on my own because we live in a not-so-great area. Anyway, I was watching P90/P90X transformation videos on YouTube and I came across one about why you shouldn't skip Yoga X when doing P90X and I suddenly felt like trying it out...ALL ONE AND A HALF HOURS OF IT!!!!!!!!!!

That in itself is enough to classify me insane but here's the real kicker, my friends...I LIKED IT!!!!!! I'll admit, it was NOT pretty at some points, my Vinyasas were horrible from about fifteen minutes in lol but I went through the motions and it is all worthwhile once you get past the first 45 minutes! Some of the balance movements are definitely difficult but the stretching at the end is pure blissssssss! I'm seriously thinking of doing this once a week, I enjoyed it so much! I think it'll be a weekend thing, though, because of the length. I never, ever, ever, thought I would like Yoga X...another up side? Power yoga will seem like a breeze from hereon in! ;)

Power 90 W2D4 Day 11 Sweat 1-2

It was an unremarkable workout today, not great but also not bad. I have to admit, I weigh myself everyday even though I know I shouldn't. This week I've been reminding myself that the scales are bogus, just because they're not going down at all doesn't mean I'm not losing fat! I'm tracking my calories and I'm doing a LOT of exercise. So if anyone else weighs more often than they should, just remember, numbers on a scale mean nothing. I feel great physically, already I'm fitter! At taekwon-do, one of the warm-ups we do is shuttle runs and last night even though I finished last (as usual), I was on the same lap as the person who finished second last! Normally I'm a full lap or even two behind...progress!

Side note: I SAW THE QUEEN YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On the way to taekwon-do, she drove past us in a green-light motorcade. She's in pink in the black car in the picture below, it's not a great picture, it comes from the video my friend and I took lol!

Power 90 W2D3 Day 10 Sculpt 1-2

I completed today's workout with much grunting and groaning from me lol! Improvements today, five push-ups from toes for normal and wide, SEVEN wide from toes in the 7-7-7 and one normal from toes at the end there before I realised I was crazy if I thought I'd manage to crack out seven of those from my toes lol!

Power 90 W2D2 Day 9 Sweat 1-2

Tough workout today, as usual the hardest thing was pushing play lol! I am absolutely aching today and my abs were screaming from the second I laid down to do the Abs 100 till the time I rolled over for the Cobra. I feel great, though! I turned my alarms off yesterday and managed to wake up "naturally" at 5:30am which was great because if I'd slept in, I would have missed my workout this morning! I'm pretty pleased because I'm trying to make it "normal" for me to wake up early.

Anyway, better go get ready for work, have a great day everyone!

Power 90 W2D1 Day 8 Sculpt 1-2

Well, well, well, that was a fun "rest day" lol! I've decided that I'd be better off calling one of my Sweat 1-2 sessions a "rest day" than that! Our academy director, who is a 6th degree black belt, led the session and it was HARDCORE. It felt fantastic though and I need the extra training for my taekwon-do. I'm already starting to prepare my thesis for black belt, it's going to be based on "The effect of weight loss on taekwon-do". I'm going to compare my husband (who is overweight like me) and one of the guys in class who is extremely fit, they're both green belts and I'm also going to compare myself to my instructor who is extremely fit, she's actually underweight and needs to gain weight so I think it'll be very interesting to see how it all pans out. I'm actually using the Beachbody fitness test (minus the bicep curls which don't really apply to taekwon-do ROFL!) as part of my thesis.

Anyway, enough about TKD! I did my Sculpt 1-2 this morning, I used the same weights as last week but boy was it a struggle, I really had to push to get through. It was a great start to week two, though, I can already feel changes happening in my body.

Power 90 W1D7 Day 7 Oz Power

Today is my "rest day" but I'll be doing 2.5 hours of taekwon-do later so I'm not sure how much of a rest it is. I'm going to stick with the schedule I have for now, if I start getting burnt out, I'll switch it up later to have a legitimate rest day although I am going to switch to the "normal" P90 schedule of starting with Sculpt so on TKD days I'll do resistance training in the morning and cardio at night with TKD. Yesterday wasn't a great eating day, it was my niece's first birthday party/my brother and sister-in-law's 10 year anniversary so the "bad food" was out in full force. I didn't do TOO badly though, and only had one sip of alcohol in the evening and stuck to water for the rest of the time so I don't think I did too much damage. Bring on week two!

Power 90 W1D6 Day 6 Sculpt 1-2

Okay, day six workout done! Sculpt 1-2 and might I just add, ow!!! I used 4kg weights for all of the exercises except the back scratchers, kick backs and shoulder flys when I used 3kg weights. Three weeks till my first weigh-in and new photos! :D

Power 90 W1D5 Day 5 Sweat 1-2

Day 5 down, Sweat 1-2...ow, ow, ow! I feel wrecked but good, too! I did a 4km run/walk last night. My pace was 9 minutes 16 seconds per kilometre so definitely not a very fast run but it felt good to use my muscles. Last day of the week tomorrow, woo! I'm switching my day off to Saturdays so I can have a legitimate day off. It was going to be Sundays but I do 2.5 hours of taekwon-do on a Sunday and I'm concerned about overtraining so I'm going to push through with no "rest" day this week so that I can make next Saturday my first rest day. If I'd started with Sculpt, not Sweat, I could've just doubled up but I don't feel comfortable doing Sculpt two days in a row.

Power 90 W1D4 Day 4 Sculpt 1-2

Sculpt 1-2 done this morning, used the 3kg weights all the way through, push-ups on my knees and many grunts and groans through 7-7-7s and chair dips (feet in). Also, I got 15 chair dips with my feet in this time, last time I did 5, took a break and did the last 5 with them. Progress!

Power 90 W1D3 Day 3 Sweat 1-2

Finished my third day, Sweat 1-2 done. Power Yoga kicked my butt and the grunts and groans during Abs 100 weren't pleasant to behold but I feel great! :D

Power 90 W1D2 Day 2 Sculpt 1-2

I just finished my second workout which was Sculpt 1-2. I found it incredibly hard, I started out using 4kg weights and switched to doing everything with my 3kg weights after the first set. I'm going to have to work up to doing everything more hardcore.

Power 90 W1D1 Day 1 Sweat 1-2

First workout done, I ache all over! I know that Power 90 is meant to be a 90 day program but I actually have a 180 day plan for it. I'm going to spend 60 days on the 1-2 levels, another 60 days on the 3-4 levels and another 60 days on the 5-6 levels in the Power 90 Masters series. After that, I'm really hoping I'll be fit enough to do P90X!

I decided on this during this morning's workout. In the Sweat 1-2 video, you two do rounds of 30 seconds of each exercise, currently I can do the first round properly but I have to modify for the second round! So I'm going to do that for two weeks, then I'll do 10 seconds of the second round properly for two weeks, then 20 seconds for two weeks and finally I should be able to do all of it with no modifications by weeks seven and eight! The I'll move up to the 3-4 videos which add another round and use the same process to get up to doing the whole thing with no modifications.

As for Sculpt, I'm not looking forward to it but I'm going to probably judge it based on my push-ups. I just KNOW I'm going to have to start out doing them from my knees. My arm strength is next to none so that's something I definitely need to work on.

Power 90 - Take 253

Long time, no see! I've kind of dropped the blog ball over the last two weeks but I'm back with a vengeance! I had a slight backslide and gained about 700grams last week but I'm back on track this week. In the past, when it's come to weight loss, I've had my "go to" program and that is Power 90. When I was about 18, I weighed in the 80kg range and was squishing into a size 14. How, I don't know, I've been a 16 since about 80kgs in recent years so it couldn't have been pretty but at the time I was determined not to be a size 16! So one night I was up late and I saw an informercial for Power 90. It was a program based on exercising in your home, doing one day of resistance training and one day of cardio alternating six days a week with the seventh day as a rest day for 90 days.

I never finished the 90 days! I did, however, modify my diet and stick to the program for about 60 days and managed to lose 15kgs! I then joined a gym and got down to around 62kgs (maybe lower but I remember weighing myself one day and I was 62kgs). I wasn't as addicted to the scale back then as I am now! Anyway, since then I have gone on and off Power 90 time and time again. I always have success with it but I never stick to it. I'm committing right now to start it today and finish it this time.

Day 1 - 17th October 2011
Day 30 - 15th November 2011
Day 60 - 15th December 2011
Day 90 - 14th January 2011

On these dates I will have updates of pics and measurements, I'm going to be brave and post my before photos today...without a day thirty pic to compare them to. This is hard. I'll also post my measurements. I have to remember, this is a starting point and I will not be back here again!

Waist: 109cms (measured over the fattest part of my pot belly as this is what I want to reduce!)
Hips: 110cms
Chest: 116cms

R.I.P. Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)

What a sad, sad day. I found out that Steve Jobs had died when I was in the lift on the way to work. I managed to make it to my desk in our office before I started crying. When the tributes started pouring in, I only got sadder. As I stood sobbing outside of the Apple store on my walk home from work, it occurred to me that perhaps it was crazy to be so sad about the death of a man I had never met but he’s influenced my life and the entire world in such an amazing way, how could I not be sad? Heck, I even picked up my husband by showing him my brand new iPhone 3G.

I’m relatively new to Apple fandom (although not as new as most, thank you iPhone). I got my first Apple product in 2005, a second-hand iPod Mini which I bought for $80 off a guy at work who was getting a new one. It wasn’t until 2006 that I got my first Mac computer, an Intel MacBook. I remember the girl at the store telling me that I’d be back soon enough buying more…and she was right. A mere six months later, I got my trusty iMac, I was already hooked. I even did a blog on a reality show about my love for everything Apple (ironically, this was before the iPhone’s release so Apple wasn’t popular and I almost got kicked off the show from that blog!). Everything about this company was amazing, from the stores down to the packaging which was just beautiful. When the iPhone came out, it was the most exciting thing I had ever heard of. I’d literally just gotten a contract to get a Sidekick but I broke it three months in to get myself a brand new iPhone. I suffered being called an “iJerk” but I didn’t care, I knew that I was onto a good thing and sure enough vindication came as one by one those people themselves acquired iPhones.

I tell you all this to explain that for half a decade, I have admired the work of Steve Jobs. I have admired his dedication to always invent new technology, also to ensure to the best of his ability that it is working perfectly before it is in the hands of the end user. It’s hard to explain the culture of being an Apple fan. Windows is, for lack of a better word, soulless. It’s an operating system, it does what it’s meant to do on any computer you either buy or build. Mac OS does what it’s meant to do on a computer designed specifically to use it, all the components are chosen to work together seamlessly in a computer housing that has heart and soul. That housing is designed to be so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing that you can’t help but smile when you use a Mac. I once had the Mac vs. PC argument with a guy at my work just after I’d gotten my MacBook and I said that it was great because “it just works”. He had a go at me for quoting an Apple slogan…I was so new to Apple fandom, that I’d never heard that slogan in my life. I said it because it just worked.

I am sad today. I’m sad because a great man died. I’m sad because I’m worried about the future of my favourite company. A company that I have relied on to be the best. A company that I have relied on to forge new paths in the ultra-competitive technology world. A company that has given me pieces of machinery that I use every day of my life or, in the case of my iPhone, every waking hour. I can only hope and pray that Steve Jobs has taught enough to the people at Apple to keep the company moving forward into the future as the shining star it has become. I’m sad for the decades of future technological advances that have been lost in Steve Jobs’ passing. He was the man who predicted the iPad in the 1980s, what could he have predicted today for the future of technology?

An amazing man has passed away today. My heart goes out to the world as they grieve and especially to his family and loved ones who are no doubt in unimaginable pain right now.

R.I.P. Steve.

Just a short one...

Well today was going relatively well until I missed my afternoon snack. By the time I got to my friend’s work to head to taekwon-do, I was peckish and ended up having tea and chocolate biscuits…again. I need to stop doing that. Then tonight we had pies for dinner, on the up side, they were the last pies in the house and I refuse to buy any more. I really need another hypnotherapy appointment. I feel like I’m dropping the ball here and yes, I’m still much, much better than I used to be but it’s actually when I’m away from work that things go haywire. It’s like the opposite of what used to happen.

Aside from that, tonight was a good class. I’m hoping to grade in November which isn’t far away. It’s scary and I really, really need to get my fitness levels up if I’m going to get through it. We’re going to start running rather than riding bikes which will help a lot, I think. We’ll see how we go.

A positive outlook is just what I need

Hey, I managed to actually lose some weight this week, shocker! Considering what a bad week it was, I'm kind of okay with a half a kilo weight loss. I say "kind of okay" because I'm still not used to the weight coming off at a healthy pace. I wish I could lose it as quickly as I did before but I know that I'm doing it in a way that will ensure it stays off for good. I'm really going to make a concerted effort to ensure I'm eating my snacks now as it makes it easier to avoid temptation later, if I haven't had my snack I start to think about eating chocolate, etc. in between meals. Not good.

We did our bike ride tonight and it felt so, so good to do it again. Feeling good about this week, going to keep plugging along, getting back on track and hopefully losing a bit of weight. We're going to go get some running shoes and run on the weekend instead of riding the bikes, hopefully it'll help to get our cardiovascular strength up which is going to be needed. We're starting a more advanced taekwon-do training program this Sunday. It's my Mum's birthday and we're going to my brother and sister-in-law's place for lunch at 12pm then hopefully we can get to Belmont by 4pm for taekwon-do training. I really wish it was starting on another day because I don't want to leave Mum's birthday lunch early and if we can't leave early then we'll just have to skip it this week. It's the first class, though, so I really would like to make it. We'll have to see what happens, I guess!

And we begin again...

Not too bad a day today, a much better start to the week than last week turned out to be. When I got to work, I discovered that the pasta I left there on Friday when we went out to lunch had grown fur over the weekend. So I had my "usual" Subway for lunch. My husband got home a bit late tonight and I was going through my iPhone play list so we ended up starting our bike ride later than we should have and only managed 3km because it got too dark to ride. Man it felt great to be back on the bike again, I really missed it last week! Hopefully we'll get a longer ride in tomorrow night. I made Honey Mustard chicken with steamed vegetables tonight which was yummy. Feeling a whole lot better about everything now. Hopefully I'll lose SOME weight in tomorrow's weigh-in considering the week I had!

A royal food disaster!

Today was an outright disaster foodwise. Starting at the sausage roll for breakfast and ending at the Chicken Treat for dinner.

I. Feel. Disgusting.

I feel totally gross from what I've eaten today. It's the worst I've eaten in a long, long time. There wasn't a lot of good choices foodwise at the show and I got caught up in it all and ended up just eating crap. The good news is that we probably walked about 5km, maybe more. I wish I'd put my Nike+GPS app on so I'd know for sure lol! I fell asleep on the couch after I got home and my husband came home with Chicken Treat at about 4:30pm so I considered that dinner. I really wish he hadn't, though. I was kind of angry at him for doing that. I certainly didn't want it but once it was there I couldn't resist (plus he was in a foul mood and I didn't want to annoy him more by yelling at him for bringing me takeaway). I could only stomach about half of the 1/4 chicken and chips he got me before I had to put it aside, though. Bring on the new week with the much better food!

Green thumbs + shovel blisters = Pretty garden

What a day! I slept in this morning (due to the fact that I ended up staying up till 4am last night chatting on Skype!) and had to head straight to the shops for grocery shopping. Unfortunately, this meant that I'd skipped breakfast, so when we were leaving, we got Subway. I had my usual and then when we got home, we relaxed for a bit before doing some gardening.

Our front yard was/is a disaster. When the grass was put in, the stupid sprinkler system we had didn't cover it all so there were big patches of dead grass. We also grassed the part on the verge that's outside our fence which was plain stupid. It's all weedy and disgusting. The plan now is that we'll tear it all up and put new grass in the front yard and probably concrete or gravel out on the verge. We didn't do any exercise but oh my goodness, digging the trench for the reticulation pipe was tiring! I also dug up all the overgrown weeds in our front yard. In the midst of all that, I kind of forgot to eat again till dinner. I'm staying at my brother and sister-in-law's place tonight ready to get up early and go to the show tomorrow. It should be fun! :)
