Yay, I made it through the 5th week! Despite my rough start and not doing the workout the 1st day of Week 5, I feel like I ended the week well. I wish I could say that the pounds and inches are flying off but they're not. I do believe I am getting stronger and that is better for the long haul for sure. Today's Kenpo was fun. I don't normally say that about exercise, but it's fast paced and the hour goes so quick. I still only burned 440 calories, and I wish I could burn more like 500. I look forward to hanging out with my kiddos tomorrow and not having to try and squeeze in my workout.
As for the food, I think I am going to go back to the basics and follow the P90X Meal Plan a little more religiously. I started out following it, but I was using it as a loose guideline and as life got busy I started straying from the plan even farther. My other challenge is I hate eggs. I really do. I can have them once in awhile, but daily? And the P90X Meal plan has egg whites almost daily for breakfast. So I will have to either make myself like eggs or find a substitute high in protein. I am also going to add 300 calories to my daily intake. I am finding with 1500 calories getting enough protein in my diet is tough. So, I am upping the calories and adding more protein. I am going to give this a go for the next 3 weeks and see how it goes. Stay tuned.
I think you're doing GREAT!! I wouldn't focus on the number as much as how you're feeling. You are such a great example to your kids by showing them how to live a healthy lifestyle! While also encouraging others!!
