All I Want For Christmas Is......Orthotics

Well I hate that I fell off the face of the earth but I am back.  Work has been crazy so I haven't had a chance to update this as often :(   Too many obstacles have come into play the firs 90 days of p90x that is totally frustrates me.  A gimp foot and the stomach bug took me out some days and then the occasional lazy morning "don't-want-to's".  I even went to the doctor (which I hate to do) and he said my lovely arches are falling and my foot is widening (even more) and that is causing the horrific pain in the ball of my left foot.  He prescribed me orthotics, which I have not been fitted for yet.  I will do that next week when I have a break from work.  I am sure this will help and be my Christmas present this year :-)  

I LOVE SHAKEOLOGY.....for those who have tried other "diet fad" replacement drinks, you will be so impressed at this one.  It tastes like a chocolate milkshake....and I don't even like chocolate.  I only got that one, b/c I knew I would have a better time convincing my husband to try it.  We do it after workout every morning for breakfast.  Over break, I am going to switch it up and try it for lunch.  It is just more convenient to do it in the am for me right now.  Even at Thanksgiving, I only had small helpings and only one helping.  It was not the best, but better than any Thanksgiving before!

The BEST recipe ever: 
1 scoop of Shakeology
1 cup skim milk
1 tsp honey
2 tsp instant coffee
6 ice cubes
YUMMY!!!!! Tastes like a frozen coffee

Oh and my favorite P90x workout....plyos, which I can't go hard at and that frustrates me.  I also like Kenpo and Stretch.  I have noticed strength improvement mostly in my arms, because of the jillion push-ups in every video.  LOL   BUT, I don't care what Tony says.....jumping jacks are the devil, if you have boobs!  So I modify that every time.  I hope to continue this and keep finding strength and energy to commit.  I want to be an example to my kids and also help my own body image and health.  Happy Holidays
