Mission Skinny Girl (Day 2)

Today is my official start of my P90X diet. I just got done doing my first exercise of my Lean Phase. It was intense, as I expected, and I am wore out! I am finding it hard to work in these exercises because I go to school in the morning and work at night, or vise versa. When I am finally home for the night, all I want to do is watch Jersey Shore or something of that kind.

Luckily, my husband is joining me in my P90X journey, though he doesn't need it. So it helps when we both are trying to eat healthy and exercise together. After our exercise, we usually make the protein shake, recipe provided in book, or i just use some organic soy milk and whey protein. Either way, I need the protein shake within an hour after exercising.

I do have a few things to say to Tony Horton:
1) I hate you
2) If I hear you say, "Pam Blam" again, im going to mute you.

xoxo, Ashley :)

Mission: Skinny Girl (Day 1)


Well, recently Jimmy and I have purchased the weight loss program: P90X. We've heard that this program has been nothing but INTENSE. Im a bit scared, but, I am excited. I was looking through some of my wedding pictures, and I saw big arms, double chins, and a fat back. It really disapoins me that it took my WEDDING PICTURES to make me want to loose weight. Don't get me wrong, I trriieedd dieting before the wedding, but mother nature decided that I was going to bloat a few days before the wedding. Not an excuse, just a fact. LOL.

Now my mission: 90 days, hard core dieting, and the P90X. I really don't have an amount of pounds I want to loose. I will go by my clothes on how big OR small they are. I have made a deal with myself, and now I am going to tell you. That means, I HAVE to achieve it now or I will feel like a loser, lol.

My deal: Once I reach a size 8, I will buy myself a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. So you are thinking, "Ok, a pair of shoes, really?". Well let me post a picture of the shoes I want and how much they cost. If this isn't motivation, then I don't know what is.

I couldn't make the picture bigger, but it is a brown suade pump with a red sole on the bottom. The cost: $795.00
Yaaaa.....
So, most likely I will change my mind. Things may come up, and I may want to buy something else or take a vacation or something. But, as of now, that is my motivation. I don't know, the vacation sounds pretty good right now. hah.

Tomorrow I will start my diet as well as my exercise regime. I will try posting my recipes and stuff on here or on my food blog. I am going by the exercise regime in the P90X in the book that it came with, and I will use the diet plan as a guideline that came with the program.

On an ending note, wish me good luck, follow, and get inspired!
