P90X and Tracy Anderson Method

Unfortunately I had to stop with the P90X. I have an old ankle injury that is giving me trouble so I have to give it a rest for now. I really wasn't seeing any results anyways. Like I said before, I didn't push too hard because I didn't want to bulk up. So I searched around and found a new workout I can do and still rest my ankle. It's called Tracy Anderson Method .

She is all about looking feminine and NOT bulking up. She wants you to be fit and sexy. I really like that idea. Anyways, looking around at what other people said about her method, I found that you should start with the mat workout and do it four to six times a week. So I purchased the DVD on Amazon and it arrived today! 

I popped it into the DVD player and away I went. MAN does she make you hurt!!! (It's a good pain though.) I plan on doing it six times a week (with Sundays being my off days). I will be letting you know every Friday how things are going.  Cross fingers that I have no more injury!

Also today is Freebie Friday! I know that I haven't done anything in a while and I'm sorry. I will be more faithful in doing it from now on. Today I have for you a schedule. What I did was printed out one copy and put it in a plastic sheet protector. That way I can use a dry erase marker and write in my to do's and just erase them when they are done. 

Every night, before bed, I write down tomorrow's events. Then, on the right side, I have places for you to write something to do for your husband, kids, self, work, exercise, and housework. I pick things that I can do in 15 minutes, like paint my nails. Here is the link to the schedule. Have fun!

Updates

So today I wanted to give you a few updates.

First is an update on my P90X workout. I have been following the program for 30 days (taking a week off when I hurt my neck) and now I am moving into phase two. So far so good. I am not pushing too hard because I don't want to bulk up but I can now do 5 pull ups! Before I couldn't even do one. As far as weight loss goes, I am still at the same weight but I have lost a few inches in my waist and gain an inch in my biceps! So I'm marching forward and sticking with it. I will update again when I start phase three.

Now about wordpress. I did some research and found that you just can't customize wordpress like you can blogger. You are limited with banner size and background choices. And if you want to customize all that stuff you have to pay for a host which is like $5 a month. I'm not ready to pay for my blog when I have a perfectly good (free) one right here at blogger. So I'm staying here for now.
