Thursday, 1/3/08 - Happy Birthday Pops

First off. Happy Birthday Dad. Miss you tons and I hope you are looking over me. Do what you can to watch over Mom too. She sure misses you a lot. Give her a sign that everything is ok. You'd be proud of her. She has lost almost 30 pounds and doing great. I have gotten her into water aerobics and she's doing Weight Watchers. I hope things are well up in Heaven and they celebrated your birthday in style. See you soon, but in soon, I mean 60 years or so!!!!

Today I woke up at 5am to do P90X. I was proud I woke up at all!! It was Chest and Back for about an hour. Boy was it tough. It was a lot of pull ups (I used bands) and push ups. For the push ups, I started off good, but my lack of training came on strong. To make sure I continued with the workout, for some of the push ups, I switched over to doing "girl" push ups on my knees. I must say, even doing those can be difficult!!! It was a great workout though, and TOUGH! After that, followed 16 mins of Ab Ripper X! Its an intense ab workout, with different variations of sit ups.

I finished around 6:45 and then made myself a protein shake. I also prepped my meals for the day, which included cottage cheese, a tortilla sandwich with ham and mustard, yogurt, a banana and an orange. I felt very good about my choices in my diet for the day. I'm off to a good start, but the first week is always easy!!
