Day 8:90

Okay….

Yesterday I was so geeked of having finished my 1st of 13 weeks of P90x that I didn’t get all up and through the nitty gritty of the thing. There are a few things that have me VERY concerned regarding P90x…

1. I see from the blogs and such that many people fall off the bandwagon and don’t make it the full 90 days. This was never a thought for me, but now it is. I don’t want to have to make up any of these workouts. They are hard enough.

2. I guess this deserves its own category. I’m afraid of not finishing the 90 day program. I know today is day 8 and day 90 seems so far away. I mean I’m scheduled to finish May 2nd. Really?

3. I’m concerned about my health. I wasn’t sick all of 2010. Didn’t need to go to the doctor at all, for anything. I have been googling any and everything related to P90x and it seems like across the board, between 30-60 days folks get a flu that knocks them on their asses. I’m not interested in that.

4. Also, there are some people that at the end of the 90 days gain a bunch of weight. Now yes, they were skinny to start with. But if at the end of things I have gained weight…. I’m kicking Tony Horton’s ass.

5. And I am a little scared of my cycles. When I am on a diet and sever exercise plan, my cycles become a little erratic. The usually become lighter and longer duration between. B.U.T….. the PMS is very severe and ugly. In 90 days, I should get my cycle 3 times. Yikes.

6. I’m not sure who “raw” I can stay. I’m not getting enough to eat. And I am hungry all day. Even with light grazing. It’s not a problem when I’m home because I can go to sleep. But that’s not an option when I have to work.

Okay again. That’s my list for today. I’m certain this Bitch-Fest will continue.



Peace

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to
