Yep, that's right. I'm back! Last time I posted was in August 2010. It's now March 2011! Since I last posted, I have lost 11 pounds! Cool huh? That all happened the following few months, and now it's just been maintained. But now I am ready to get that other 17 pounds off! I am doing a new program. It is called Power 90. I have been doing it for a week now and I love it! I have lost an inch and a half and I feel different! This life style change is going to be so wonderful! With eating, I do 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fat of my 1300 calories. I am able to track this through MyPlate on Livestrong. It has the percentages right there, along with counting my calories! I've learned a lot of new recipes (a little booklet came with the DVDs) and they are yummy! I am able to snack on things I really like--like peanuts (unsalted of course). And I tried hummus for the first time and it is actually really good!
So you wanna know what got me motivated to do this? Check this out:

Go and watch that short clip. It will motivate you!!! This girl, Tekoa, is the same height and weight as me-give or take. To know that if I work hard and eat the right things, I could look like her after these 90 days are over, and then continue to P90x or Insanity! Tekoa is my beachbody coach, so I am able to ask her questions and get inspiration from her. I have seriously watched this movie so many times! Any time I feel unmotivated, I turn to that movie and the message boards and I become motivated again!
Last week I worked out all 6 days! I don't know that I have ever done that. I guess knowing it is a 90 day program is what helps me. People say that after the first couple of weeks, you really start to notice a difference. Then at the 30 day mark, things start to change even more. And then even more at the 60 days, then to finally "finish" at 90 days.(although I will continue on to other things)
Eating has been ok for me. We went out of town last weekend and it was so hard to eat healthy on vacation! But we are back and I am back on track! I don't eat 3 hours before bed so that my body is in fat burning mode instead of fat storing mode. This is hard for me. My husband and I always watch our favorite show, Bones, and eat snacks! The first couple of days were so hard! But it got easier with time and I have stuck to it since!
I hope to post either every week or every other week on stats and progress.
Will you join me?
