Gooood Morning Day 4!
Well, I made it through last night... barely. :) After work, I went home and changed, drove about 40 minutes North and joined my sister and friends for dinner. When it came time to decide whether or not to order an appetizer, I graciously bowed out and said I was trying to cut back and would only be having my meal. For dinner I had one glass of white wine, (Riesling - my favorite) and the Parmesan Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad. I know my salad choice was not the best, or should I say healthiest, choice on the menu but it is my favorite and I decided to splurge a little.
After dinner I went to my sister's house and had her do my measurements. I know you are supposed to do those before starting the challenge but I didn't, and it was only on day three, so I figured it was close enough. I was standing in the kitchen in my dress and as I was hiking it up, so that my measurements could be more accurate, we were yelling at my brother-in-law to close his eyes! Haha! Good times!
I didn't get home till about 11:20pm and finally got changed and started my workout at 11:40 pm. Last night I did arms and back, I believe, and Ab Ripper X. I finally finished my workout at 1:05am. Now that's dedication if you ask me! I am soooo in the zone and refused to skip a workout and cheat myself and my results, especially on my first week! Thank goodness it was a weight day and not plyometrics because I couldn't be jumping around upstairs at midnight. My neighbors downstairs would kill me I'm sure!
I was super sore last night after my workout and the Ab Ripper X was definitely challenging since my abs were still sore from day one. I did notice slight improvement on one of my ab exercises that I struggled with on the first night. :) I'm doing my best to push myself through each workout so that I get maximum results. I'm really enjoying the program and know I will achieve great things through this challenge.
Have a great Friday and I'll blog to you later!

Day 3!
Good Morning Day 3!
It's the morning of day 3 and I am feeling it! My second day soreness has kicked in and my upper body is sore! I am not complaining because I know good things are happening but I just wanted to let you know how I'm feeling this morning. It actually started to kick in yesterday afternoon.
Last night I tackled my Plyometrics workout for the first time, or should I say it tackled me!?! It was definitely an intense workout and from what I gather, it sounds as if it may be the hardest one in the series. Don't be afraid though, the workout is definitely do-able, it just forces you to really push yourself. The great thing about Plyometrics it that almost every exercise you do is only for 30 seconds and like Tony says on the video, you can do anything for 30 seconds! Make sure for all of the workouts, to have a water bottle and a towel handy. Each day, I have finished my entire bottle of water during the 55 minute video.
I currently live on the third floor in my apartment complex and I was a little worried about all the jumping I was doing at 8pm last night. I was very conscious of the thudding noise I was making each time I jumped and was trying to take it as easy as I could, without compromising my workout too much. Sorry neighbors!!!
I may relocate to a first floor apartment next time, so that I do not have to worry about disturbing anyone. You pretty much do some sort of exercise that involves jumping for the entire 55 minutes you are working out. I already have some soreness in my legs this morning. I am excited about this though because my legs definitely need some work!
I hopped on the scale this morning and I'm down 3.5 lbs. Yay!!! 15 more to go!!! I have got to get to the grocery store. I have been doing my best to maintain a clean diet, as you can see in my posts, but I would like to follow the Nutrition Plan as closely as possible. For now I've just been winging it!
Here is my dilemma! I am meeting with my sister and some of our very best friends tonight for happy hour and that puts a little kink in my current plans. Also, tomorrow my coworkers are all getting together after work for happy hour for Gabe and my self's going away party. We have both accepted new jobs and this is our farewell party. Super sweet and fun idea, just bad timing since this is my first week on the challenge.
I will definitely attend both events but tonight I will be having some sort of salad or grilled salmon and possibly one drink but I may try to avoid alcohol tonight if at all possible. Tomorrow I definitely would like to just go hang out and not drink. Wish me luck!

Day 2!
Good morning friends! It is the morning of day two and I'm ready for the day! I had so many thoughts racing through my mind last night, once I laid down, that I thought I was never going to fall asleep. I said my prayers, took a few deep breaths and fell asleep a few minutes later. Yay!
I snoozed my alarm about three times this morning and finally decided to get up and join the rest of the world. Hello world! (that's a good song by the way) I love country music & dancing but that's a whole separate blog! Lol! I had a few texts this morning from friends and my sister. I checked all of those, replied to most of them and then decided to go make breakfast. I still need to read my Nutrition Plan but I decided to make scrambled eggs for breakfast. I do one egg, three egg whites, a splash of milk for fluffiness (my grandmother taught me that), a little pepper, a dash of onion powder - for flavor, and a light sprinkle of cheese. Yummy! I am now working on my first bottle of water for the day.
I am proud of myself for drinking as much water as I did yesterday. That is no easy task for me but I almost consumed the standard recommended 64oz. of water. I will say that although I know how very important drinking water is, it kept me running back and forth to the restroom all afternoon. Oh well! It's all for my well being and a happier, healthier me!
One of my friends who also has P90X, texted me this morning and asked if my arms were sore. I can tell that they are a little weak but the soreness has not fully kicked in... yet! Because I workout off and on, I think that's the reason I'm not in a lot pain right away. As several of you may know, there is something called second day soreness. That means that you are the most sore the second day following your workout. Something to look forward to! Haha! :)
I have another busy day planned today, filled with work and two appointments. I hope to get home by 7:30pm so I can tackle my Plyometrics. It's wednesday ya'll! Happy hump day! The work week is half way over. :)

Day 1 :: Complete
It's 10:30pm and I just finished day one of my P90X, 90 day challenge. 89 more to go!!! There are 3 different programs to choose from, with varied workouts, and I have chosen the P90X Classic. Tonight's workout consisted of Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps and then Ab Ripper X. Woo hoo! Two videos complete!
Before I get too far into my blogging, I have to put this disclaimer out there. I am not a journalism major nor am I any sort of professional writer. This blog is simply for my amusement and possibly yours, it holds me accountable and it allows me to track my daily progress. In other words, do not judge me! :) My grammar skills will most likely be incorrect at least one time per blog, things may get misspelled and I'm sure to throw in some improper and made up words. Ok, I feel better now.
I didn't get my books/videos till lunch today, so I just tried to eat relatively healthy but still have not had the time to read the Nutrition Plan. After work, I met my parents at the Hyatt Resort and Spa to have dinner and discuss a display case that I need my very talented father to build for me in the next 9 days. I will be using this glass display box, framed in wood, to display my Rhinestone Renegade jewelry at a charity event I was invited to sponsor, next Friday evening. This isn't the first time I have thrown a project his way on short notice but luckily, I have amazing parents and they are willing to tackle projects and work together to help me out at a moments notice.
So anyways, it's been a very busy and exciting day and I will have to read through my material tomorrow. I could have waited till tomorrow to start but today is the first of the month and I can't keep "starting tomorrow!" Today was my day to get serious and get excited about getting my "happy" back!
Tonight's workout was challenging, especially since my DVD player's remote is broke and I am not able to pause the video for any short rest breaks. That is probably a good thing though. It forced me to push through my weak moments and do the best I could. I realize that this is my first day and I am going to have to build up my strength regardless. I used the chair for assistance for my pull ups tonight and can't imagine getting to the end of my challenge and having the strength to do them without modifications. I know that I will get there but to be honest with you, it's a little harder than I thought it would be, even with the chair. Don't let me scare you though, it's definitely do-able and you can put as much weight on the chair as you need to starting out.
The hardest thing for me tonight was the decline push-ups, where your feet are up on a chair. I injured my elbow about 6-7 weeks ago doing back flips while country dancing, don't ask, and it still hasn't fully recovered. They want to do a CT Scan on it to see if there is cartilage damage but I have opted to wait for now. I heard it crackle a little as I attempted the first decline push-up and quickly decided to ditch the chair and just do regular push-ups. I actually typically will do about 3 sets of 10-15 regular push-ups when working out at the gym but due to the intensity of the workout tonight, I decided to modify all push-ups and use my knees. I definitely can't wait to get stronger and get to my toes!
I would say the second and third hardest exercises in the Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps video was the Diamond Push-Ups and Dive-Bomber Push-Ups. I was a little weak on these two and will continue to push myself to improve. I do not want to slack and cheat Myself! I wanna' get ripped like the people in the videos! Hahaha!
Ab Ripper X was pretty good overall but a couple of the exercises towards the end were a little challenging for me. I tend to be able to fight my way through an ab workout but I definitely have room for improvement on this. Overall I think today was a success and now I need to hurry and shower so I can get to bed. I know how important rest is in our daily lives!
I'm excited about my new journey and plan to tackle this one day at a time and some days, an hour at a time. I know I can do this and be successful! Wish me luck and I'll blog to you tomorrow! Good night!

New Beginnings
Hello friends!
Today is March 1, and great things are approaching. There is a fashion show in two weeks that my company, Rhinestone Renegade, is sponsoring. My good friend Amy's wedding is in April and summer is right around the corner! So much to look forward to and so much to prepare for!
I have made the commitment to myself and now to you, to take on the P90X, 90 day challenge. Today is the big day, the day my DVDs arrive in the mail! On Sunday, I hopped in my car and headed to Academy to buy my equipment. I bought an Iron Gym pull-up bar, a set of Jillian Michael's weights, and an exercise mat. I am super excited and a little nervous about the program. Basically you work out 6-7 days a week and maintain a clean & healthy diet. I will have more details once I receive my package in the mail.
It is true that you can get healthy and fit without the P90X program but lately, I have not been motivated enough to leave my house once I get home. The travel time to and from the gym totals about 30 minutes and I just haven't been doing it.
Sunday night I sat down, pulled out all of the pieces and instructions for my pull-up bar and got to work. I wasn't sure if I would be successful at putting my pull-up bar together and then wondered if it would be safe if I did accomplish my task. I am happy to report that my mission was successful and it only took me 15 minutes to assemble my bar. I made sure to tighten all of my screws and then carefully hung it in my doorway. My pull-up bar was tested and to my surprise, it didn't collapse! Yay!
I can't tell you how many times I have checked the tracking on my package to see if it has been delivered yet. I think I'll check again now... Nope! As of 10:13 am, it has been cruising around my city, jumbled in with a bunch of other packages, on the FedEx truck. Come on Mr. FedEx man!
Ok, so I'm going to share a bit of personal information with you behind my motivation for wanting to take on the P90X challenge. I am typically a fairly fit gal but my weight fluctuates from time to time depending on the season or what I have going on in my life. I've never been super toned and I've never had defined abs, or any abs really... Abs would be awesome!!! I'm tall and can get fairly lean but that's about it.
My biggest problem is eating! I love to eat! When I get stressed out, I stress eat big time. It's not something I'm proud of, it's something I struggle with on a daily basis. Once I'm in the zone and completely motivated, I'm good and the temptations are still there but I'm not as likely to act on them. I finally feel ready to get my "happy" back! I don't really feel good right now and it's getting harder to find things that fit and look good. I refuse to buy bigger clothes!!!
Anyways, I have to share something with you that I thought was pretty funny. I met my sister for lunch yesterday and we were discussing our current state and what our goals were. I was telling her that I've been kind of stressed out lately and I was trying to pin point exactly what I thought was stressing me out so bad and why I was turning to food so much.
Please don't think that I don't realize how good my life is overall. I am healthy, I have an amazing God and strong faith, my family is super strong and very close, I have some of the best friends in the world - as far as I'm concerned, I have a good job, a place to live, etc. Ok, now that that's out of the way, back to me being a little stressed...
As we were sitting there and I was pondering exactly what was stressing me out so badly, she said, "I get it, your life kinda' sucks!" I couldn't help but find this very funny as I laughed and my mouth dropped open a little bit. I asked her why she thought my life sucked and she went into all of the same reasons that had been floating around in my head. She was absolutely right! I've been dealing with a number of stressful situations but with the positive things that are starting to develop, I'm hoping things will turn around for me soon! Prayers going up and fingers crossed!
In the past 1-2 months, I have managed to gain about 10 lbs. Lucky for me, I'm tall but I'm still not happy with what I've done. Every time I made the decision to eat that pizza or that yummy ice cream, I knew what I was doing but I didn't care enough to make the right choices. The thing that most people say, every day, is "I'll start tomorrow." Tomorrow is always a day away and those days end up turning into months and sometimes years. Luckily for me, my vanity and comfort level kick in at some point and I do get my butt to the gym and make efforts to make healthier eating selections.
To keep myself on track, I hope to blog almost every day and really let you know what's going on with me, how I'm feeling, how I'm progressing and what I'm eating. I'm excited to report that when I went home at lunch, I called my apartment complex office and asked if the FedEx guy had been there yet. My favorite office guy reported, yes Stacey, your P90X has arrived! I was so excited and kind of wondering how he knew what was in the box. I hurried and drove to the office and he met me at the front door with my box labeled P90X Extreme Home Fitness. Woo Hoo! It's here! I'm sure there will be days that I refer to this program as torture in a box but overall I'm excited and can't wait for my 30, 60 and 90 day results!
I need to take my day one photos later this afternoon and my measurements but may not post them right away. I will most likely post them at a later date. My main goal is to tone up and loose about 18 lbs. Wish me luck! Another goal of mine is to drink more Water!!! I am terrible about not drinking much throughout the day and I know my body desperately needs fluids.
So far today, my diet has consisted of:
Peach Oatmeal
Lean Cuisine for lunch
Apple
Medium Strawberry Banana Smoothie
3 Bottles of Water + 1 glass at dinner
Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken
There is so much I want to tell you and so many ideas floating around in my head but my P90X box has been sitting here patiently for the past 2 hours and it's time that I rip into it and see what's in store for me! Have a fabulous day and I'll blog to you later!

Rebecca and Kelcy
What a beautiful day it turned out to be! My sister and I spent the day with some good friends of ours, Rebecca and Kelcy, who we had the pleasure of meeting a couple of years ago. Rebecca and Kelcy are not only mother and daughter; they are best friends! Both are strong, beautiful, amazing women and I am honored to call them my friends. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a Beautiful New Year!

Malory
My sister and I took my beautiful niece, Malory, down to a trail near our house to do some photos before the holidays. Each time I see her, she gets a little taller and a little more beautiful! Posing for her was natural; she must get that from Auntie Stacey! Tee hee hee! Here are some of my favorites from the day!
Love ya! xoxo
