I love TURBO JAM!
O.K. so I know I am on P90X, but today was yogaX and I was just not feeling it and needed a break! So instead of being lazy I pulled out turbo jam and blew the dust off it and pushed play. Mind you I have had Turbo Jam for like 4-5 years and I used it maybe twice! Well today I am so glad I pulled out because I had so much fun doing it and I sweated up a storm! I will be sure to keep this in rotation! Especially when I need a change and I might do it as extra cardio in the mornings.
Carbs are the devil after 7:00!
Well they are for me, so before anyone stones me! let me just say that this is my opinon and I know a lot of people who agree me on this subject.
So why do I feel like carbs are the devil after 7pm? Well I feel this way, because when I eat carbs(starchy complex carbs, i.e. potatoes,rice,bread.)after 7pm I find that I start holding on to my weight which makes since if you really think about it.
Why does it make sense? Well if you eat a whole bunch of carbs and then go lay down and watch T.V. and then go to sleep what do you think happens to the carbs in your system? Well let me tell you what happens, carbs are used in our bodies for fuel and are broken down for that reason. If you do not do something to burn off those carbs that you ate your body says "hey I guess were just chillin so I'll go ahead and store these carbs away for a rainy day right on your tush!"
When I decided to change this small thing in my life I really started to see some weight loss! Now please don't take this to the extreme, r example if you work night shift of course you will be eating at different times and if you workout at night you really need to find what works for you. I work out at night a lot and now if it is past 7pm I will have a salad for my carbs and some lean protein.
While this works great for me it might not for you so try it and see if it helps you out.

Get moving and get your diabetes in check.
I found this great program on the Beachbody site. This is a new program that is made for people with diabetes, being that my mother was just diagnosed today I will be trying to get her on this ASAP! So please if you are diabetic and need to get active please check out this program!
Please know your risk!
I just found out that my mother is diabetic and it scared the crap out of me! My mother is not obese she is actually quite skinny so this is a shock to me. I am truly worried, because I suffer from low blood sugar, so please take a minute and do this test to find out what your risk level is.

O.K. everyone, I am about to go to sleep for work in the morning, but I wanted to post my P90X day 61 pics for you all! I took them today and while I see slight changes I am greedy and wish I could see more! I went to the store today and tried on this pair of pants that I thought were rally cute and I grabbed a size 11/12 because that is usually the size I wear, and when I tried them on they were HUGE! I didn't try any other pants on because I was in a rush ,but I will at the end of my 90 days, I had already decided not to but any clothes until after my P90X journey, but I just really wanted to try on those pants.
I am at 150 lbs today which is my first goal and pre-preggo weight as you all know ,but I would like to be 140 by the time this round of P90X is over.
I will post measurements later, but I have lost inches!
TA-TA for now! Smooches!
