Bananas suck!

Just so you know I'm not taking about the fruit actually I like bananas but only if they aren't completely brown then they are just gross cause they get to mushy for my tastes. What I'm talking about is P90X or should I call it now P180X cause there is no way in hell I can do this everyday and still function. Just last week I was complaining about not being able to sit down. To sit was painful that wasn't very relaxing I might add. But I am trying really hard not to give up and not to complain and if you really know me I LOVE to complain. I got this ability from my Mom she is the queen and I am the princess. But I'm moving up in the ranks.
But anyways the banana is an exercise move that uses all of your core muscles. Ones that I didn't know existed till this last week I might add :) You lay on the floor with your arms at an angle above your head your legs are together and raised so that you look like a banana. You start on your back and hold the pose for five seconds then move to your side still keeping your arms up and legs up then you move to your stomach and then the other side. I felt like a fish out of water flopping around on the floor. My husband did it first because we don't have a lot of room to do it together and I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. I wish I would have had a video of him doing it. Heck a video of us doing any of the exercises would probably win us millions on America's most funniest home videos. :) I think I've burned more calories laughing at how out of shape we are then actually doing the work outs. So if you want a good laugh come on by our house around 9 at night that's when we put the dvd on and work out. Well off I go to exercise.

Finger Licking Good.

I have to ask why is it when you cut something out of your diet/life style change :) you want it more than anything in the world? This week I completely followed the rules and by Wednesday I was getting weird cravings. I thought for sure one of the cravings would be chocolate since I would have one candy bar a day for break at work. Instead I replaced my candy bar with fruits. But no it had to be fried chicken of all things. I have been a good girl this week it's been tough making the right choices in food selections. Most the time I would make it a quick lunch and grab McDonalds. I have no will power well I have will power just very little when it comes to bad for me foods. Tomorrow will be an interesting day for me. I plan to go over to my aunts house and start baking my cookies and candies for Christmas.  Peanut butter balls, birds nest, white chocolate macadame nut cookies, and peanute brittle to name a few of what I'm making.It's going to be hard not to eat at least a handful of my cookies I mean come on who doesn't like fresh out of the oven cookies?

Anyways....I also this week started P90X all I can say is I have muscles that I didnt' know existed that are killing me.Thanks Lee for suggesting it. :) I think I'm going to buy stock in Bengay creme for my poor legs and arms. I can barely comb my hair in the mornings. My arms they hurt to lift my brush. I am going to stick with it I know I can get past this stage. It's just going to suck really bad for awhile. This program is not made for wimps so I have alot of work to do because I am definately right now a complete and total wimp :)
Thanks for all your love and support.
