Week 8 for Revolution is in the Books


A Picture Worth 1000 Calories?

Week 8 is in the books, so that means only 4 more weeks to go for the Foothills Revolution Body Challenge. I’m also in the middle of week 10 for P90X. There are 13 weeks total for that, so I should be finishing up around the same time for both: April 1st for P90X and April 4th for Revolution. But enough about the finish, I still have 4 weeks left.

I’ve hit a bit of a rough spot and the only thing I’ve lost in the past two weeks is my mind and a bit of my motivation. My weight is stuck in “I Love the 140’s, please don’t go” mode. That has been my weigh-in weight for the last 3 weeks. I shouldn’t really expect much since I didn’t have a great week of dieting. I’m not usually one to over eat. My problem is when I get busy I under eat. I just completely forget about it and my body doesn’t do a very good job of reminding me.

Workouts are still good. That whole high protein diet thing was a bust. I much prefer cold cereal or oatmeal in the mornings to fried egg whites or protein shakes, plus I had no energy to workout. I did, but I was pooped. So my diet morphed into something else completely. I couldn’t even begin to analyze it. My best guess is Girl Scout cookies (Thanks Michelle) are probably not good. Completing my 60 days of no beer probably didn’t help and eating out more sucks.
Week 8 Progress Report

Week 8 Workouts:

  • Sunday: P90X Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
  • Monday: OFF
  • Tuesday: P90X Legs & Back
  • Wednesday: Spinning
  • Thursday: P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X, Spinning
  • Friday: OFF
  • Saturday: Spinning, P90X Back & Biceps, Ab Ripper X

So that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Next week will be equally challenging since I’m traveling to San Francisco for 5 days. I’ll be downloading my P90X workouts to my ipod and packing my workout bands. I don’t leave until Wednesday morning, so I’ll be spinning Monday and Tuesday, back to back.
