What I'm up to now..........

P90X

Well those of you who have been fans of my blog for awhile may remember me doing the program Body for Life. It was and is a great program and works really well. But I failed in completing the program. It is a 12 week program that you start over and over for the rest of your life basicly. It's not just a diet it's changing your whole life style. Well I made it 6 weeks and lost 6.6lbs and some good inches. Since that time I gained about 1-2lbs back, but I'm ready to break it and lose this extra weight that I've been holding onto since I had Paige. I wish I had one of those bodies that went back to a perfect girly figure after giving birth, but I don't and have to really work for it. But I'm really ready to reach my goals, but this time around Josh and I are taking on a new program called P90X. I'm sure some of you have seen their infomercial. Josh and I don't have our gym memberships anymore so we needed something we could do at home. And I really like doing videos so when Josh introduced me to it, I was up for it. But man what was I getting myself into. These videos and workouts are tough. Pretty simple, but a killer! As for our diet plan we're not following their exact plan, but sticking with more of the Body for Life plan. Mostly I make all our meals from out of the Body for Life cookbook. Today I had a BLT Wrap for lunch! It was really good, but don't be fooled I didn't use real bacon. I used Turkey Bacon. I'll admit this was my first Turkey Bacon attempt, but suprisingly, it was delish! And when your cooking it, it smells and fills up the room with the real bacon smell! Last night we had a breakfast meal for dinner, but it was really good. It was a ham and cheese cassorale. This is a 4 servings recipe. All you do is get a 9x13 pan, pour the cubed hashbrowns to cover the bottom. Top with some onions and cut up ham. Then you mix together 1 1/4 cup of egg subsitute (I used Egg Beaters) with 1/2 of skim (well we used 1%) milk. Beat it with a spoon or whisk till well mixed. Then you pour that over the top of hashbrowns and ham. Then top with some reduced fat cheese. And then bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 40-50min. (until eggs are firm and top is lightly golden brown). I will admit when I was looking at the finished product and having used egg subsitutes for the first time I was really scared and kind of nervous to eat it. But suprisingly again it was DELISHIOUS! I think I'll tag it as one of my favorite meals!!! Paige loved it as well so that's a bonus! So anyway, I'm excited for this new challange! Wish me luck and in 90 days I will be a new me!

You are looking at the future Mr. and Mrs. Hammond : ) !!!

P.S. Paige went to Nursery all by herself for the very first time last Sunday and LOVED it! She didn't even notice or care that we were gone! She's such a big girl! Also, the week before a little boy in our ward her age gave her a big wet one! It's alreay starting!
