Okay, for those of you who don't know - I started an
Insane for the Holidays Facebook group to keep everyone motivated over the upcoming holidays.
I have to admit....so far,
I have not been doing so well. My workouts are okay, but I have been skipping here and there. I have been having some trouble with my energy levels, motivation and the fact that it's been soooo hard to lose weight, no matter what I do. Well, the other day I had some blood tests done and sure enough, my thyroid is underactive. So hopefully with some medication, I will start to feel a little better and be able to get back to my old self.
Anyway, I decided
I needed a little extra motivation. I am going to blog about my workouts during this holiday season, so I can be
more accountable and maybe even
help someone who has trouble sticking to their goals over the winter like I do.
My workout schedule I came up with is going to be really fun!! It's a hybrid of P90X, Insanity, TurboFire, Body Beast, and T25. Kind of an I-love-all-these-programs-I-can't-decide hybrid. Crazy, right? I KNOW I can't get bored with that! haha :)

This schedule finishes the week of Thanksgiving - not sure how that's gonna go. haha Then, I will decide what to do during Decamber. I am planning on getting P90X3 for Christmas!! So excited! :)
Okay, now for my Journal.....
Day 1: P90X Chest & Back
I haven't done the X in a loooong time. Years even. So it was kind of fun to have something new again. I will admit I did ALL the pushups on my knees, except for the incline pushups, but my arms barely moved on those, so it was more like incline PLANK! haha
I still cannot do those darn dive bombers!! I basically just did downward dog to plank over and over. I also use the black bands for all my pull ups - Still a great workout I must say!
My diet was not the best, and I didn't even count my calories... must do better tomorrow! Drank 1/2 gallon of water.... need to do better on that, too.
Well, that's pretty much it for today. If you have any questions about any of the Beachbody programs, the hybrid I'm doing, or if you want to join the group - please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you.
