Yeah! Week 5 is done~ I broke through my wall and now I'm back. This week reminded me of week 1 because I switched to the classic mode with a few new workouts, plyometrics being the mother of all hated workouts. It was insaine!!! I hurt so bad I was begging, yes begging for Yoga X. It was a nice break to get to the Yoga X workout on Thursday. It is so funny that I would say that because it used to be Yoga X that I dreaded, now it is what I look forward to :)
So, I know you are interested in my grocery bill for this week......$150. Not to shabby, Glad not to be back up closer to the $200 mark. Yay! I still bought a ton of meat, but I think I am figuring out how to try to do it for less. My main problem is I can only shop at HEB or Walmart. Both are close to the same prices, but on any given week one is cheaper than the other. I need to buy the large 4 lb pork tenderloins at Walmart and split them in half. Freeze for 2 meals. I grilled one this week with a great rub and it was oh so yummy. Took a little over an hour on the grill. SUPER AMAZING! I have had people ask me what my kids eat. And they get a well balanced meal. They just eat what we eat with no portion requirements. They are not by any means on a low carb diet. But I do not make them special meals. If I make fish, they eat fish (or try it anyway) plus veggies and rice or noodles. Low carb lasagna with bread, or chili with crackers and cheese. I never keep the carbs from them, or fat for that matter. It gets a little tricky when I make them popcorn, but can't eat any myself. A true test of my will power.
Onto Results:
Holding firm to my 3 pound weight loss. I also pulled out a really old pair of shorts that were about 2 sizes too small and I could zip them up. Still a tad bit too tight, but I couldn't even pull them up before. I have lots more energy this week, I mean...LOTS! Yay for carbs! My parents were so inspired by my results they are going to do the P90X as well. So it looks like we will have a few more beach body babes!

Hey beautiful. I bought this program for Andrew months ago and itssitting, unopened, on a shelf. You are inspiring me to maybe... just maybe, open the package.
Do you have to do a special diet? I am a carb/junk-a-holic and when I say that my diet pepsi is my mommy-go-juice I'm not kidding. Really. So... can you just do the workouts and cut a bit of crap from your diet?
Ruth, yes there is a special diet and I'm not sure if you would want to go the whole 90 days and be disappointed at the end because you didn't follow it. I am sure you won't see the results you could get if you did the eating part as well. It really is not too bad except giving up soda :) It starts out with no carbs the first month. The protein is important for burning body fat and building muscle. More like an athlete. By month 3 you are on 1/2 protein, 1/2 carb diet. Nate and I have seen amazing results in just 6 weeks now. Giving up the Coke was rough, but now I don't even think of grabbing one in the check out line! Having said that, the workouts are intense and I would have to say that the workouts alone will probably reap some good benefits (even without the eating plan). You should do it and be a beach body babe with me!
