This my new journal for my P90X Program.

I'm gonna get pics put up this weekend to start this thing off right.

I'm gonna do my best to follow this program line by line. I am going to list a small disclaimer though: We will be giving the IVF one more try soon so if you see my belly actually growing -- it is a baby ahhhhh to dream

With that being said, my diet will follow exactly what is in the nutrition plan.

No workout this morning, I slept in.
Diet wise:
Green tea and oatmeal w/ cinnamon this morning for breakfast
I do not know what my snack will be
I will probably end up running an errand at lunch, so I might pick up a salad or sandwich
I will probably have a Kashi bar or something for an afternoon snack
I do not know what dinner will be yet.

I think our P90X program will probably come in today. I plan to go for some cardio early tomorrow morning and then go shopping for the races this weekend. I will definitely be running up and down the track this weekend.



Posted by: katt

haha... I read the journal title and immediately thought of William Hung from American Idol...lol

Good luck with the program!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Exactly Katt.....very good

She bangs and also has a "banging body".

Here are some tips for success that I found on the P90X Forum, I think it applies for success for everyone.

1.) Follow the outstanding P90X Nutrition Program (It works)
2.) Eat 5 or 6 small meals per day
3.) Drink up to 1 gallon of water per day
4.) Use supplements (They give you an edge)Whey Protein, Multi-vitamins, extra vitamins (E,C, Omega Complex), a quality Fat Burner
5.) Suffer during workouts to maximize results
6.) Use supplemental cardio workouts to enhance fat burning
7.) Stretch daily to prevent injury and enhance recovery
8.) Get enough sleep to maximize recovery (7 hours or more per night)
9.) Visualize the results you want to achieve daily to remain focused on your goals, both short and long term.
10.) Never give up or quit, no matter what!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh PS, I actually added some scrambled egg whites, green bell pepper, tomato and onion in with my breakfast this morning.



Posted by: Irons77

good tips to follow. I bet brad likes the title alot! lol Good luck girl on the new program.



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Love The Journal Name, Best Wishes Sister Fitty on this!!!



Posted by: SamEaston

All i could think of was Ricky Martin! Gosh, i loved him when i was younger . . . . ahh . . .

Ahem, anyway . . . . best of luck on your new journal. I love the tips for success, especially 'suffer during workouts'. I think we can all tick that box!!



Posted by: Scarface30

lol great title name Fitty made me laugh.

I'm subscribed.



Posted by: Fitgirl70

OK, I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO DO THIS -- but ya gotta start somewhere, right? HERE GOES

let me just go ahead and right now.







Posted by: Fitgirl70

Well, I don't know why they came out like that.....but oh well.



Posted by: b_reed23

when are you gonna start the ivf treatments again??

you have a good base, girl, you just gotta work it!! So what does the P90X thing look like, is it workouts and diet?? I heard it comes with supps too...??

we saw a commercial the other day talking about "breast muscles" Cody says you need to show us those too ya know...for reference only



Posted by: Fitgirl70

I didn't know it came with supps too. I think it's just the dvd's and the diet. I think it will be here today actually. yeah, I think I have a good start, and I think my workouts as they are, are okay -- can't wait to see what happens on the p90x program -- I think my prob is all diet.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

As far as the ivf, we will probably cycle next month.



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh by the way..... look at those guns






















Posted by: b_reed23

actually I am jealous of your arms...I can never get any definition there



Posted by: the other half

fitty, good luck on both of your new endevors.

and i think i have those same underwareno mine are green

True - that is still something i struggle with.

You look good, there is definately some great shoulder/bicep definition there. At least you know what to do to get your body looking the way you want it. We'll be expecting update pics too



Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm starting the program today. It arrived yesterday, so I'm excited. I meant to grab the diet book when I left this morning, but I walked off and forgot it. Oh well, my diet will be good today.




Posted by: b_reed23

are you gonna let us know what their diet book says as far as meals?



Posted by: katt

That's pretty cool that everything is pretty much planned out for you... no guess work needed!!

Good luck! And yeah,,, updated pic's are a must!!!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yes, I will billie. As soon as I get home from my cardio workout tonight, I plan to grab the book and start logging.

Oh by the way, it doesn't come with supps. They recommend you buy their supps, but they do say that you don't have to. Just get ones that you like. I know they want you to have a protein shake, omega 3's and a multi vit.

I started back on my pre-natals last night and I already take my fish oils every day.



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh yeah, I plan to do updated pics probably every couple of weeks.

Thanks Sam, I think my legs and my arms come in quicker than anything else. Wish I knew why....I'd make my ass and my fat gut come in just as quickly!!



Posted by: b_reed23

are the fish oils for the pregnancy?? How are they beneficial? I'm assuming Folic Acid is in the prenatals?



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yep, FA from the pre-natals. I've always taken my fishoils for my cholesterol and to get the necessary EFA's in my diet because I know I don't eat enough fish. I don't think it can hurt anything when it comes to pre and/or pregnancy.



Posted by: Archangel

Awesome, BEST Wishes Sister Fitty in both the routine and IVF my Friend, GOD Speed you and yours!!!



Posted by: b_reed23

check this site out... Omega 3 Fish Oil and Pregnancy - Nutrition

I also read that it boosts intelligence and coordination, and eye hand coordination later on in life. It seems that a mother taking fish oils will benefit her baby for a lifetime

For me it's the opposite. My legs and ass are okay, but extra fat goes to my stomach and back?? Why?? I might as well just superglue my food to that area because thats where it's going to end up

That's exactly what my husband says!

I think stomach is where we women store it notoriously.....stupid hormones

OK, now onto the P90X. Last night's dinner was:
grilled salmon, green beans and wild rice. It was so very good too.

Todays meal plan:
Breakfast: Protein shake
Snack: Protein bar and I'm supposed to have a recovery drink, but I don't have my supplements yet, so I've asked my coach if there is anything I can sub for it.
Lunch: Leftover salmon, green beans and cashews
Snack: String cheese
**will workout after work
Dinner: Turkey, fat-free chicken broth gravy, green beans and 2 tbsp of protein powder



Posted by: katt

Get those supplements!! lol

I carry my weight in my ass & legs... but my step-daughter is like you and Sam, she has her excess in her stomach area.. I guess fat is fat, no matter where you paste in on, huh??



Posted by: b_reed23

all mine goes to my stomach and ass...but I don't know..to me having a fat ass is a good thing, well, for me anyways...I LOVE my big booty



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Booty, booty, booty, booty rockin' everywhere
Booty, booty, booty, booty rockin' everywhere
Rockin' everywhere
Rockin' everywhere

I found you Ms. New Booty......


Oh, sorry. Got carried away

You just like the thong!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh, I almost forgot about yesterday's workout. It was all arms and shoulders and then 20 minutes cardio. My biceps are sore today. My cardio was 20 on the elipticle with a trunk twist. If you've never tried this, please do! It is hard, tough to keep your balance....but damn good for the core.

Love you all, hope you're having a great Thursday. Friday is almost here!



Posted by: b_reed23

so what does the p90x diet and workout look like?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm still working on gettin' those damn cookies. My friend who gives them to me hasn't been in the gym....I'm wondering if he isn't working there anymore? I need to call him. If not, I'll just buy some - I get them for my hubby anyway so no big deal.

Billie, the p90x workouts have you doing something (high intensity) everyday. And I've figured out it's on a push/pull system. Like Wednesday was Shoulders and arms, the other day was chest and back.
The diet I've got figured out too. It's kinda like that carb cycle that TP turned us all on to. For the first phase, it's high protein, only 1 serving of fruit per day and no breads, crackers, pastas....nothing like that, but you can have fresh wild rice, not the packaged stuff.

It's good, I've lost 2 pounds this week.

Yesterday I did a little bit of the ab/cardio work.



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Not many supps DB, they ask that you have a quality protein shake, a quality recovery drink and some fish oils, and a quality fat burner.

Right now I'm just doing everything except the fat burner. I can't take any fat burners or anything like that because of the IVF cycle.

M4: probably another ounch of string cheese and an apple

Cheeky

A bike is the first thing on my list when i leave the city, belive me. There's just no-where to put such a thing in central London, and i walk to work so i don't need it really.

They're really wasted unless you've got big open spaces and winding roads to let rip on, don't you think?



Posted by: Fitgirl70

hey everyone -- Happy Friday!!!!

Hope you're all doing well.

Today I am so sore in my shoulders and in my chest. I have biceps and triceps tomorrow morning as well as abs and a little cardio. I'm trying to wait until next week to do legs because my knee is still so sore from my fall two weeks ago.

Diet has been going well except yesterday I broke down and had a turkey sandwich. I was not supposed to have bread, so I cheated a little.....today will be better.

M1: protein shake on the way to work
M2: 1 oz peanuts and 1 oz. low-fat mozz string cheese, green tea
M3: turkey slices and 1 oz. low-fat mozz string cheese
M4: ??
M5: don't know about dinner tonight. I'll try to keep it high protein, we are going out with family tonight.

Hope everyone has had a great week. I'm so glad it's Friday!

I feel so low...

If I don't grab a spoon and bust out a tub of lard, it's a good day for me.

I have complete respect for people like you who can truly diet.



Posted by: Fitgirl70



Don't feel bad D, most of the time I want to grab a spoon and bust out a tub of peanut butter.....but then I'd just end up grabbin' the cookies and the crackers and then it's the chips and then it's cheese and then it's nuts and then it's more crackers or cookies......I start spiraling down and it's not good.

So I just don't do it at all.



Posted by: katt

Happy Friday Fitty! I totally feel ya on the diet... ughhhh... it's getting pretty hard for me right now. but Billie is right,, that turkey sandwich wasn't that bad.. it could have been worse .. so gj for that!



Posted by: Archangel

Chin up, heart light, have a Great weekend Sister Fitty!!!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hi all! Wut up Not much here, lots of rain though! Can't believe we're getting this much rain and flash flooding the day after it was 90 degrees here. I guess it's true - "you don't like Texas weather, stick around, it'll change".

OK, did not workout yesterday, but planning to do abs, arms and a little bit of cardio today afterwork.

Diet has been going really well. Just trying to stay on track.

IVF cycle is going well too. I start the meds on Friday morning. Please keep us in your prayers. I know we will become pregnant this time. I feel it in my belly already and I can already see my sonogram pictures.
Conceiving, Believing, Achieving!



Posted by: Irons77

I hear ya on the weather. It's going to rain later on today here, it sucks. Looking good in here! Good luck!



Posted by: SamEaston

Sounds like Scotland - 4 seasons in one day! Every day! As long as you're prepared for rain, you'll be alright!

Best of luck to you Fitty - i've got everything crossed for you



Posted by: Scarface30



hope you have a great Easter Fitty!

You are ALWAYS in my Prayers Tamm!!! Happy Easter!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Much love to you all!

Hiya Tam!
man..the kids are sky'n!



Posted by: nadirmg

wonderful news! hope everything goes smoothly!



Posted by: b_reed23





Posted by: Irons77

Everything o.k.? No post in a while



Posted by: Fitgirl70

All is well....just been busy, busy. Thanks for checkin in on me Irons...

I did go home sick on Friday though. All better now.

Still eating clean - sometimes could be better than others, but who couldn't say this, huh? Really trying to get in more fruits and veggies now though that we've started the cycle. I'm also trying to replace all sodas with more water.

More later, hope everyone is doing well and hope you all had a great weekend. Gotta get back to work.



Posted by: Pylon

Heya Fitty!



Posted by: b_reed23

I feel ya on trying to eat better Tammy!!

how is this cycle going so far?? is that why you were sick Friday??



Posted by: Fitgirl70

No, I think I had a sinus infection or something like that on Friday. Was not a good time to get sick either, so I just fought through it.

The cycle is going great. We are right in the middle of it right now and the shots are really heating up now. It looks like we'll be doing the retrieval about the 18th, 19th or 20th.....something like that. I'll keep you guys updated though and let you know what's happening.


I could be exercising more -- who couldn't say this too, right???
I'm still trying to get in my little desk/office exercises; (i.e., dips off of my chair, push ups off of the desk, squats, stretches, etc....) Other than that, not much real working out at the gym has been happening. Actually I'm going today after work, but this will be the first time this week and it's Wednesday.

The good thing about it is, I don't think I'm gaining any weight! I think being more strict on my diet (knowing that I'm not exercising much) is being good to me.

Hope you're all well. I'll check in w/ everyone's journals a little later, kinda busy this morning.



Posted by: Pylon

Glad to hear you are doing well. Good luck with the procedure!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Thanks Py! I really appreciate you!



Posted by: b_reed23

good luck Tam!! We are all rooting for you!!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Thanks baby doll!



Posted by: Irons77

Cookie?? LOL



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Cookies! You silly boy! I'm gonna send you some dang cookies!

All is well here! Happy Friday everyone. And it's pay day, so that's even better. I really don't want to work today, I'd really like to be at home truth be told.

Oh, I thought I'd update you all on that little New Year's Resolution that I made -- remember the one where I said I would quit going to Starbucks? Well, today is April 4th and I've only been once, it was about a month ago though. I don't even miss it! My pocket book doesn't miss it either. LOL

Still having loads of fruits and veggies in my diet. Started drinking more green tea as well as all of the water. Not having as many cups of coffee in the mornings and have pretty much cut out all sodas. I'm very proud of my diet and I've noticed that my sleeping habits have improved. It seems this whole week, I haven't woke up during the night at all, like I used to. I think I'm sending my body straight back into the type of eating that I did when I was on that detox program. I really like it too!

OK, gotta get back to work. Be back later!



Posted by: Pylon

Great work!



Posted by: Irons77

Great job Fitty! The cookie was a joke, I've given up on them......



Posted by: b_reed23





Posted by: Fitgirl70

All is well here, waiting for 4:00 to hit, I'm actually going to lift today! I know, don't die!

I'm actually going to help a friend here at work and train her on some weights....so I'll do it with her. Actually looking forward to it. We're going to do weights 3 x/week.

Hello Sister Fitty, hope all is well!!! Hows the PX90 thingy goin? I'm seriously interested in it, ummmmmmmmmmm I think, LOL!!!

Family is good. Daughter is going into grade 10 But other than that, all is well.

Helping someone is a good way to get back to the basics of weights. By teaching your friend, you're re-affirming what you already know. Do you thing couSON



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh yeah, the P90X is going really great! I'll tell ya, it sure makes you strong. Even though you may not be lifting extremely heavy, the routines make you strong.

I am working on my P90X program only about 3 days a week now, which is fine, although it wants you to do it every single day and follow the program to the letter. I have to admit - since the cycle started, it's gotten a little hard to stick to the program due to timing issues alone.

Today is cardio day, so I'll be doing that after work. Tomorrow I have legs.

I think it's work really well. I lost a few pounds so far, but am now just bloated because of all of the injections.

By the way - my quads and biceps are really sore this morning from our workout yesterday -- that's a good thing.

Sir Arch, I think you would REALLY enjoy the program.

Hey peeps. Yep, the hammer is comin out! I know how to whip it out and use it and yes, I've been known to use it before!

The more I use it, the more it gets used.



All is well in Fitty's life. So, here's the update: We'll be doing the retrieval on Monday and then the transfer on Saturday. Hopefully we'll have baby(ies) soon.

Yes, diet and everything is still on track, just trying to mostly eat healthy for now and then see what happens in a couple of weeks.

Pics? No updated pics just yet....maybe soon! Just depends on how fat I get. No one wants to see the growing belly unless thuurs a reason for the growth.

What does your diet look like Fitty?? I increased my carbs to make up for the tiredness I've been feeling, and I don't feel that much different, except my weight has stayed the same, and I feel "softer" it kind sucks....



Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm trying to eat a LOT of fruits and veggies.

It sort of looks like this:
M1: one or more cups of coffee, either fiber one cereal or a health nut english muffin w/ peanut butter and a banana.
M2: I try to have another piece of fruit here, but depending on how busy I am, sometimes it doesn't happen. Sometimes I have another health nut english muffin w/ some Omega Balance spread on it.
M3: try to have a protein and veggies here, sometimes just a turkey sandwich
M4: Depends here, sometimes a string cheese and an apple, sometimes a small bag of baked chips, sometimes just fruit. Yesterday's snack was a Muscle Milk protein bar.
M5: whatever I happen to cook for dinner. It usually consists of a large salad and then my protein and veggies.
M6: I have been as of late, trying to have more fruit at night instead of the cookies or brownies or whatever other crap is in the house.

Speaking of being soft and gaining weight. I have gained 6 pounds through this cycle. I am so bloated from all of the meds right now. I can't wait until Monday when we have the retrieval so I can feel a little better for a bit.

Working out today -- for the first time this week. The meds make me so tired.

What carbs have you increased? Good carbs?



Posted by: b_reed23

yeah, good carbs, sometimes bad ones work there way in though....



Posted by: nadirmg

damn those meds!

omega spread? is that smart balance butter? it's gooood stuff!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hi all! Well, the retrieval went wonderfully yesterday. Back at work today and I'll find out today how many eggies we got. They were, on Friday when I had my sonogram, thinking that we would get about 7 or 8...that would be great as long as we could get some nice mature eggies there.

Our transfer will be this Saturday.

Please keep us in your prayers. This could very possibly be our last chance.
We go forward from here.

Thanks everyone for asking and keeping us in your thoughts. We really appreciate it. It is wonderful to have friends like you all.
Tam

Wish you the best of luck, Fitty

just checkin' in....all is well here.

I think I may actually get in some cardio this afternoon... ..I know... .don't die



Posted by: b_reed23

You are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers Fitty!!!!! Remember...this is not the end of the road, possibley the beginning of another...there are always other options if this one doesn't pan out! Here's hoping for mature Eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Posted by: Fitgirl70

Thanks Jellybean! You're so wonderful.

This very well may be our last chance though. We will no adopt. Although I think if you can and you want to go through with it, by all means, do. Adoption is not for us. It's just not something we want to venture in to.

If this IVF is not successful, we will probably stop. It's really hard on your body, it takes a lot of time and we're not getting any younger. At this point as it is, we'll be almost 60 putting the child through college. Now, that's not to say we didn't think about that when we started - we did....we just want this to be successful. We know whatever is in God's plan for us, will be.

Sorry, I'm rambling!

Love you all, hope all is well with everyone.



Posted by: b_reed23

so....how was the transfer??????????????????????????



Posted by: Fitgirl70

The transfer went perfect. We put back 3 and we did assisted hatching on one of them. The assisted hatching helps the embryo break out of it's shell and implant into the uterus.

We're hopeful and I'm actually feeling really good except for sore boobs and an ever expanding waist line. I think most of the bloating right now is because of the progesterone that I'm still on.

We have our blood test on the 6th to determine whether or not I'm pregnant.

We are thankful for technology, thankful for medicine and thankful for the genius that is my doctor.

We'll see what happens now. I'm being cautiously optimistic.

Hi ebryone!

I saw a commercial recentl for those Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers and could not get it out of my head...so I ran to Target today and that's what I got for lunch. I got the General Tso's Spicy Chicken and that was the best darn thing!

I'm really trying to clean up my eating habits right now. I'm not gonna call it a diet because right now all that matters is that I'm eating healthy. I'm still trying to get in as much fruit and veggies as I can, but on average it's only about 2 pieces of fruit a day and about 2 to 3 servings of veggies.

I have to say though it's Thursday and I haven't had any sodas, diet sodas or coffee. Although I did have a cup of caffeine free coffee today. I'm trying to ween myself from caffeine, just in case I really am pregnant. I've also stopped having any artificial sweetners like Splenda.

OK, enough about a day in Fitty World.

Hope everyone else is doing good.

Almost TGIF

Hi everyone! All is well here. Just moving right along. We have our first sonogram on Thurs. just to make sure that everything is in the right place and it looks good -- I know it will be. Then we have another sonogram on the 22nd to hear the heartbeat.

I'm excited about hearing the heartbeat.

Other than that, I'm feeling really good. A little naseous at times, but no big deal.

Will keep you all posted. Thanks for checking in on me guys...you're all so wonderful. Thank God for friends like you guys. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers too. We greatly appreciate it.
