Day 1 AGAIN
I should have started yesterday, but I kinda failed at that. I cleaned the house instead. I have to jump on this pony and get riding. I have to get my life organized, because without it in my life there is total chaos. Well, today I am 182.6 with all my clothes on. I have a bunch of household stuff to get done today and home work tonight. My goal is to get the household stuff out of the way, finish my home work, and still fit in my routine. Well, I have to get to it and get off this damn computer. I will update before bed.

Something to lift your spirits......
My aunt emailed this to me.
A Homeless Man's Funeral
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place.
I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
Apparently I'm still lost....

New Start tomorrow
The doctors have given me the green light to start with light weights and cardio to my comfort level. Tomorrow is a new day and fresh start.
Oh another thing. I will be doing my diet with http://www.sparkspeople.com and my P90x tapes and roller derby on Wednesday and Sunday. Fun. Fun. Fun,

More money....oh problems.
The only issues I have with the Tony Horton p90x exercise routine is the time it takes to get all the exercises in.
I work as an EMT. My job is very physical. I am walking, lifting and other things....that are very rigorous.
Last night, I came home and literally passed out from exhaustion.
Mr Horton where does this put me? Is there anything I can do to remedy this issue?
I would love to follow your programs, but it's just not working out for an ambulance jockey like me.
Even the lite version is too much time for me.
I understand that this is an issues I will have to workout to complete this program. No pain. No gain. I guess it will have to wait until after this nap.

T minus 5 mintues
After sitting down to write a little bit on why I'm here, I will begin the p90x exercise plan.
I have always been the skinny girl all though life. It wasn't until my fiancee was killed, and having a baby in my teens that weight ballooned.
I have struggled with my weight since I was 22. I am turning 35 this August.
So far with the p90x diet plan alone, I have lost 10 lbs.
I am coming off a knee injury and having another baby. So, I have been sedimentary since October of 2008.
I am a firefighter and EMT, so my day jobs mostly consists on mostly sitting around.
I was never too concerned with my health and weight until I became a roller derby girl in 2007. I watched as the new girls who took better care of themselves always passed me by and get on the teams faster then me. I am on leave and would like to slim down and show my team I have the right stuff and discipline to make a great roller derby girl.
Another reason I want to get in to shape(Besides ROUND) is I am a firefighter and EMT. I want to give my all to my community and an out of shape, tired public servant is going to do them a bit of good. I want to be confident with doing a search and rescue that I will come out alive, and not be a burden on my fellow brothers and sisters. I want to lift my patient with confidence. But most of all I want to continue to serve my fellow men and women for the next 20 or so year and not go out with heart, back of joint problems.
Wish me luck....I'm going to need it..
