Week 4 day 7 - blew this week oops

So I've done nooooo fitness since Thursday. I've been good with my diet of course ;) but my activity has been non existent. Friday we had movie night at Becca's school and when we got home even though it was only 8:30 it felt like 11pm so sadly I went to bed LOL...I needed it. Saturday we were busy all day...gymnastics, errands, bday party for Becca, visiting friends. And today well I've been busy doing the household chores that were ignored for the better part of a week and more errands of course. In fact as soon as I'm done typing this I'm putting the clean sheets on the beds. So it's 5:30 on Sunday evening and I'm pooped. Kevin is making dinner right now...and it smells awesome from here in the office. I'm going to make those beds get into some jammies and I believe we are going to put a fire on in the fireplace and relax while watching a movie...I'm thinking 27 dresses...haven't watched it in a while.

So tomorrow starts the second phase of P90X and I'm sad to say I'm not as excited as I should be. I should be so pumped about this but I'm just sooooo tired. I even did a PG test (negative :) and :( about that). So I'm thinking it's just winter blahs and the cure for that my friends is exercise...so tomorrow morning I will attempt (I really want to say will...but come on let's be honest here...I'm not the best at waking up to exercise in the morning) to drag my lazy butt out of bed to do Core Synergistics tomorrow morning...I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm doing...I'll double check it.

Oh a good thing from today I was curious after 30 days of P90X to see how I'm coming along. and I'm down 2.5% in body fat and up 2% in water woohoo!!! My measurements are down everywhere except a couple of spots which is okay. Sadly my chest is down...just once I'd like those to stay LOL...and surprise of all surprises...MY THIGHS AND HIPS ARE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! That usually doesn't happen until I've lost alot more than this...so yes the P90X is working. And see there might be the thing that gets my butt out of bed tomorrow ;)

Lisa...can't wait to hear about Niagara Falls.

Week 4 day 4 - X Stretch and C25K (2-3)

Okay so I started this evening with my C25K and only got through 13 minutes. ummm that's all I had in me. I had a cramp in my chest so I think I have to slow things down a little...I'm still very heavy and am trying to do a lot in a very little bit of time...so I'm taking a page out of Lisa's book and listening to my body. So I will continue with my own version of C25K...I'm going to do Couch 2 5K walking my way LOL. I will walk 5K on the same schedule I was going to "ease" into jogging it. I can walk for ages...but this jogging/running thing really gets me. So Starting Saturday I will do my P90X still and I will also walk 5K. I will mix it up with speed...start with regular walking 5K then I'll add in speed walking intervals...then eventually add in the jogging :) Get my heart used to this kind of work :) That's the great thing about P90X I don't feel like I'm working that hard...I mean I am don't get me wrong but my heart doesn't go like it does when I'm running.

So after my 13 minutes and then dinner I did X Stretch....oooooooh X Stretch....how I love thee!!! Seriously if I could do this everyday instead of the rest of it...I would!!! Well Kenpo, X Stretch and dare I say Yoga X. My dream work out. Oh and I did Plough!!!!! Well not the laying my legs on the ground but I got close to the ground when last time I couldn't even get my legs straight up in the air. It did tweak my back again...gonna need another bear hug from Kevin :)

Tomorrow is Cardio X. and it's weigh in day. I stepped on the scale today and it said 205.4 but the batteries were dead in the camera...so I'm hoping for a good number tomorrow as well...although I didn't get my water in today like I did yesterday...fingers crossed.

Week 4 day 2 - Core

Well I did another round of C25K this evening and after that noticed that my back felt...um...well tweaked...so upon discussion with Kevin I'm opting out of P90X for tonight. Tomorrow I have Kenpo yeah baby!!! Love that work out!

Oh yeah...on C25K today I set my workout lighter...Kevin mentioned that maybe instead of walking at 4.0 and running at 6.0 that I should bring it down a bit until my heart gets used to it. At the other levels I was off the charts with the first 90 seconds of running...so today I walked at 3.5 (felt so slow) and ran at 5.5 (I could have fast walked that...apparently I'm a whizz at walking...running is more complicated for me). Anyway my heart rate was high but still acceptable until the third sprint...so I'm going to say it was a good idea...I might not cover as much distance as I want in that time...but alas that will come with practice.

off to bed :)

Week 4 day 1 - Yoga X and C25K

Well I did couch 2 5K this evening before dinner...20 minutes...and I ran for 90 seconds each time and walked for 2 minutes instead of the 60/90 from last week. Felt good...tiring but good. I have to say...my heart rate sky rocketed again like the first time last week. It was good the first 90 second run but went up from there...off the charts again. Eventually it will get to the point where I'm good...it just has to ;)

Did 40 minutes of Yoga X tonight...half way through I ran out of steam completely. That and it's 9pm and I had to get my daughter out of the tub and into bed. So mom roll took over. Now I'm going to get my jammies on drink another two glasses of water (float away), and relax in front of the tv for a few minutes.

Tomorrow is Core.... :

Week 3 day 6 - KenpoX short work out

*SIGH* short work out today...I slept in and we have a dentist appointment in 45 minutes I still have to eat, shower and all that before we go...Kevin's in the shower so I'm writing a short blog while I wait. After the Dentist we are coming home for maybe 20 minutes to walk the dog, eat lunch and then we are going up north to visit Kev's mom so no time to work out later.

I love Kenpo so I'm sad I had to shorten it. Although having fully done the legs/back work out yesterday for the first time for real....wowsa!!! Kenpo is totally different when your legs are hurting.

I also didn't get home until 10pm last night so I missed my couch 2 5k training :( I could have done it...but I am so tired by 10...it wouldn't have been good.

Okay I've gotta finish my recovery drink and then I'm off to get ready. Tomorrow XStretch and C25K!!!!

Week 3 day 5 - Legs and Back vs Sleep

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep sleep sleep sleeeeeeep! Oh how I miss thee!!!

So Kevin wakes me up this morning with "are you working out today" at 6:05am!!!!! I slept in AGAIN!!! and he needs help getting ready...so I make lunches for everyone might as well I've got the stuff out...and then comes the debate with myself...well it's kind of late do I have time to work out? Then it was no I HAVE to work out...then it was "but I could really go back to sleep for another 30-40 minutes....well if you can snooze that long you can work out...stupid conscience! ;)

So I chose to work out...and I'm so glad I did. I have to say I've phoned it in or not had time for legs and back in the past...I don't know why I put it off...that's where I need the MOST work. I did all of it...except one which for the life of me I can't remember which one right now. to save on time I only did the first round of pull ups...but I did all the legs which is a big deal. So next time I won't be afraid of this work out. Why are we so afraid of that unknown...like Lisa said...I've always run. P90X is so empowering...now I'm taking things head on!!!! Wow....me take life by the balls....who'd a thunk it?!

So yes I was tired...but it was only my lazy side. Once I worked out...I feel quite awake and ready to take on the day...oh and it's FRIDAY!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!! I always look forward to Fridays...no work for the weekend. I really need to figure out the whole love your job thing...so far not so much.

Okay really have to go now...I have 15 minutes to shower, and try to make myself look pretty for work bwahahahahaha

Week 3 day 4 - Yoga X...not happening

Well last night Becca was sleep walking again and somehow fell out of bed in the process and landed on her face and shoulder...she's okay I kept her home to go to the doctor (as she looked like cromagnum man) the doctor wanted me to keep an eye on her all day...she seems fine but he just wants to be sure that if there's a concussion that if anything changes I can get her to him right away...well she seems fine! Same old usual crazy girl LOL. But I'm pooped. It happened at midnight last night and I was worried about her collar bone but she fell asleep and so I relaxed at that point...until the morning when I saw the huge bump on her forehead. *sigh* kids = grey hair.

She's fine so now I feel like sleeping and that's what my body needs so...I'm sorry Yoga but sleep is more important right now. Tomorrow I have Legs and back in the morning and C25K in the evening so I need to have energy for then.

Night night all!

Week 3 day 3 - Arms and shoulders & Couch

Almost didn't get up this morning to do my P90X but now I'm glad I did as I am pumped!!!!! I've got couch tonight.

Yesterday I didn't have couch training so I did my P90X in the evening and I was wondering all day why I was so tired and just feeling blah and now I realize it could be because I worked out in the morning on Monday and today, and yesterday I didn't. Monday (which was supposed to be the most depressing day of the year according to the news) I was pumped and energized which is unusual for a Monday to begin with.

Yup apparently the 3rd Monday of January is the most depressing day of the year...highest suicide rate or something like that. It's a combination of the weather being so cold and grey for so long, getting credit card bills from Christmas, and having given up on your new year's resolution. So far so good for me...other than the weather I get those winter blues...but the bills are always like that and honestly this year my new year's resolution was to work on paying down my debt...and honestly I'm not giving up on that :) And I'm pretty sure exercising in the morning helped me too :)

I'll update my couch 2 5K training this evening after I complete it. 20 minutes of a racing heartbeat...woohoo LOL.

Week 3 day 2 - Cardio X (forgot how much I loved it)

Wow take a week off and it seems like a whole new work out routine!! I forgot how much I love Cardio X. It's just plain old fun. It's so fast you don't realize the time...when it ended I was hoping for more. And the plyo part is so much fun...no sarcasm I'm being serious. I know that Plyo is really hard I've heard it from numerous people but the parts he puts in cardio X are quite enjoyable.

I was supposed to do this in the morning of course to keep with my schedule of getting up in the morning...but I didn't even hear the alarm this morning. When I woke up it was too late for anything. I had to rush to get Becca to school and me to work. Tomorrow I don't have that luxury...I have couch 2 5K tomorrow again so that means P90X Arms and Shoulder's in the AM.

Felt blah all day...must be the winter blues...it usually starts about now. I want spring...no....I NEED spring!!!

oh well off to watch BL!!! As my dear friend Lisa says...catch ya on the flip side!

Week 3 day 1 - Core Synergistics (and day 1 of couch 2 5K)

So this morning I rolled out of bed and went to the basement to work out. I did my core synergistics...but wasn't into it like I should have been. I found myself doing it and then when I felt like I'd done enough move on to the next exercise rather than trying for a few more...I did okay I just didn't push it. Maybe that's okay with taking the week off and trying to get back into the swing of it.

It really is amazing how quickly we get used to not doing any exercise. It's almost like starting from scratch. I think Lisa might have the right idea with the streak. If I know I have the choice to say not today I might take it. So I planned out my entire workout schedule from now until the end of September. Barring any unforeseen circumstances I will be exercising everyday until then and as I get closer I know I'll continue my plan. I don't have to...but I want to. I want to finish P90X and complete couch 2 5k. And when I'm done them I want to run M-W-F and then do one of the P90X workouts on the off days...Sunday will always be my stretch day...and Saturdays will alternate between Kenpo and Yoga. Then the Tuesdays and Wednesdays will be for weight training.

Oh I almost forgot to tell you about my couch 2 5K experience this evening. I know why I've never run before...it's that pain in the chest I don't like...but I pushed through it this evening and you know what I survived. It wasn't the nicest feeling but I made it and I know if I keep pushing it'll get better. My heart rate monitor said my heart was beating off the charts. 198 to be exact so it wouldn't even give me a percentage as it was well over the okay zone. I'm really looking forward to watching that number drop as I get used to the workout and as I become stronger. Two more days at the 90 sec walk and 60 sec jog before it gets bumped up next week.

I honestly looked like the BL contestants at the end of their run on the treadmill with Jillian and Bob yelling at them and pushing them to the brink...and yet I only had to run for one minute at a time!!!! Amazing!!!

Time to go relax with Kevin and watch some sitcoms :)

Skeptical people piss me off

I was just telling Jacqui that :

I'm so excited about this 5K...I've been telling everyone. Surprising the reaction I've been getting though. People are so skeptical. I've had a few supporting but even they give me the look of "we'll see". I can't wait to show them! I think I'm going to write a blog about that.

And so I am!!

It actually pisses me off that people can't just say way to go...or you can do anything you put your mind to. I hate negativity...and yet I'm surrounded by it. Work - negative. Family - as loving as they are they always think about the negative side of things (they call it being the devil's advocate...I call it being negative). My family - positive and thank God for that. Honestly if my hubby said I don't think you can do this...I'd probably break down and cry because I need people to believe in me right now. This is something I've NEVER done!!! I need that positivity.

Kevin is being real about it. He's saying you're likely not going to be able to run the whole thing with it being your first 5K and all but you should set a realistic goal. First 5K goal should be finishing it. Then your next 5K (and I love that he believes in me enough to say the next 5K) your goal should be to beat your time on the last one. Eventually you'll run the whole thing...and if you do this time even better. But it's unknown and so my goal will be to finish!!! That sense of accomplishment will be huge...I'm sure there will be many tears that day.

I've honestly never STRIVED for anything. I've never had any dreams or aspirations to work for. Again my parents are so sweet but they never built that into us. To go for something you know. They always said we could be anything we wanted but when it came time to go for something it just never happened. If we were too scared to try something they'd just say "okay you don't have to" They never said just try it once and then if you still don't like it you don't have to go again.

I'm so lucky to have the friends I've made in this journey. I love the enthusiasm that Lisa has for Jacqui and I. 5K's and hiking trips and rock climbing...I mean it's all things I've always wanted to do and just didn't think I could so didn't try. I know I keep saying how awesome those two girls are...but they really are...so get used to me saying it. If I were a guy you'd call it a bromance...what do you call that for a woman a womance? hmmm maybe it'll catch on LOL.

All I know is that I'm doing this...I'm registered and paid up and I'm going. And I'm making it across that finish line whether you have to drag me across it. I know I can walk it...I can't walk for hours and hours...I WANT to run it.

So to all those skeptical people...come to the 5K when I run it!!! I dare you! but don't bring your negativity or Lisa and Jacqui will pummel you :)

Registered for a 5K

Well I've done one of the things on my to do list for 2010. I signed up for a 5K. I'm so excited and sooooo nervous. I'm starting my training as of Monday. I signed up to run it so that's even more of a challenge for me. I know walking a 5K is a breeze. I've walked for 12 hours straight with only washroom breaks...so I know I can do this. Running has never been a thing I could do. Or at least I've always told myself that. It was always I can't...which of course if you think it then you won't do it. This time it's an I can...and I'll be prepping for it big time. I'm going to LEARN how to run and I am going to do this 5K and I can just see myself getting addicted to it. The biggest thing for me is having my daughter see me be active and do physical things. I never once saw my parents participate in any challenges (other than raising kids)...they were never into team sports and so we were never enrolled in team sports. They weren't big on competition so we were raised to not compete. I don't want Becca to be a super athlete or anything but I want her to be athletic. To at least be able to hold her own when she's in school and they have track and field day. I was good at two things on track and field day...shot put and snack time. Oh once I got a 2nd place for triple jump but that was because it involves a skip in the middle and I could rock at hopping and skipping...it's the jumping and running that were issues for me.

So today marks an important day in my life and an exciting one at that! I, me...Pam am going to RUN in a 5K...that's huge!!!

Okay enough rambling.

Before I publish this post I just have to say thank you to 3 people:

Spitfire (Lisa) Thank you so much for all of your encouragment and the suggestion to do this in the first place. Without you I don't think I would have done this...at least not yet.

Pitbull (Jacqui) Thank you for being just as excited and pumped up about doing this. You; like Lisa, have really pushed me to take on something so challenging and have made me believe that I can do this.

Boomer (Kevin...my hubby) Thank you for being so supportive and excited for me. Not many women have a husband so willing to be involved in this journey...it really is special.

So to my 3 supporters thank you so much this truly is a bonding experience...so let's BRING IT!

Random thought (in place of my exercise journal)

So I was thinking a little today (I know...you can smell that burning smell again haha) about how I always say I'm a skinny person in a fat suit or a fat persons body. And while I was thinking about that today I thought I'm really looking forward to being a fat person in a skinny body. I know that might not make a lot of sense to you right now but think about it. Being fat or overweight whatever you want to call it for the majority of my life has given me lessons that not everyone gets. I've been through a lot and I had a good childhood blah blah blah...but being overweight has taught me how to have more compassion than most people. Some people think oh they just don't try hard enough that's why their overweight and so on. But when I'm skinny and I will be I'd like to think that I won't be that reformed in my thinking. Yes in my eating but not in my thinking. Hearing remarks (even if I wasn't supposed to hear them), or the are you pregnant questions or even the you have such a pretty face...it hurts. You want to hear...you're hot or wow did you see that MILF LOL. Not whispers from teenagers who say don't ever let me look like that. I've learned to think about how someone feels in their shoes before I judge them too much. I learned that your insides don't always match what's on the outside. I've learned that sometimes people dress sloppy because that's how they are feeling and want to not be noticed because they are ashamed.

I've learned so many GOOD lessons being fat! And I think I've been fat for a reason for this long, to really become compassionate towards others. So instead of thinking oh my god look at that fat picture (which I'm sure I'll say at some point)...I'd like to think I'll say "that's when I learned to be a good person" or "I'll never regret that time in my life because there were so many lessons to learn from then".

I really need to go back to school...I need to become a shrink. ;)

Missed two workouts!!!!

I missed yesterday because I took the time from my work out schedule to go to the walk-in. Yep I have a sinus infection.

Tonight I missed because I feel completely crappy still and I keep coming home from work with an awful headache each night!!! I know it's from the sinus thing but it's pissing me off royally!!!

I just want to get back into the swing of things...right now I feel like I'm failing. I mean my eating is good and all that but I just can't work out without my head feeling like it's going to explode...and when I can't work out I feel like a bit of a failure. I know I'm not but I can't help but feel like it.

I think I'm going to try going to bed early and hope it helps my body recoupe faster. Penicillan kick in already!!!!

Week 3 Day 1 - Core Synergistics

Well it's not my favourite but I'm definitely getting better at it. The biggest thing I've noticed so far is that my stretching is getting much better. I did the hamstring stretch where you spread your feet as far as you can and with straight legs bend over and hang there and try to get as low as you can...wow I'm getting really close to the floor. I mean I can touch no problem but I'm getting deeper into the stretch each time.

Banana roll is my favourite on this CD I think. It's hard but I love it! You really feel it all over.

I'm even starting to like Core (did I just say that LOL).

Yoga is the one I dread now ;)

week 2 day 6 - Kenpo X

I LOVE this one still :) Only got in 30 minutes...I really have to make the time! this one being short was because I slept in and we just got home now so it's not like I could go to the basement and knock out a workout now. I'm glad I chose to do some instead of none :) Tomorrow evening for X Stretch I think. It's so relaxing it'll be nice to do before bed.

week 2 day 5 - Legs and Back (missed day 4 Yoga)

Well I missed Yoga yesterday. I didn't get it done in the morning and that left no time to work out. And when I got home I had a killer headache (still...getting me really annoyed now). So this morning I slept in and was about to roll over when I thought ...nope get up and at least do some of the work out!!! You won't have time tonight so if you're going to get anything done it has to be this morning. So Becca and I headed to the basement and did SOME of legs and back. We got about half way through (it's good...I could only do a few of each so far and the burn came on FAST!!!) I have to say time was flying and I was learning a lot from this one. I missed it last week so this was a watch a few seconds try it learning kind of session. Sadly I had to skip part way through to the end so I could stretch out but I know the first half now so next week I can kill it completely.

Tomorrow is Kenpo and I'm so stoked about that! I love Kenpo and the time flies in that one cause it's so much fun.

well off to work I go...thought I'd get in a quick blog and go to work with wet hair instead (let it dry in the car :) )

week 2 day 3 - Shoulders and Arms

So I made a mistake day 2 was subbed with Stretch X for Cardio X which would have been a 100% no go for sure with how I was feeling.

Last night I almost didn't work out...it would have been so easy to say oh well not tonight. Lately I've been working out and then Kevin was after me but I forgot with back to school to schedule in homework time. Becca has been exercising with me but obviously with homework it's impossible. So by the time homework and dinner were done it was bath and bedtime for Becca. Kevin wanted to work out and he uses the treadmill and likes to watch tv while he does that. So I grabbed my DVD's and bands and went upstairs to our room to work out. This actually worked out quite well...we both finished about the same time. If I hadn't of done that I either would have not worked out or had to wait until 10pm to work out...not happening. I finished at 10pm. I thought I would have problems sleeping but we watched TV for about and hour and then called it a night and I guess I'm still sick enough I just passed right out.

Right so Shoulders and Arms!!! I did less reps than last time but I felt my form was better this time like it was more of a work out. I know I'm pushing myself but I'm just not sweating. Normally I sweat just standing there (I hate it...I sweat like a boy) except when I'm doing strength training apparently. Cardio of course I do...but not in strength. hmmm. I've checked to make sure I'm doing it right. My form is spot on, my heart rate is in the zone or higher...go figure. Get dressed in a beautiful dress in the summer and I sweat like a pig...work out with an Xtreme program and nada.

So seeing as I'm writing this Thursday morning because I wanted to veg after my workout last night I will let you know I didn't get my Yoga in this morning...I even told Kev to wake me but that didn't happen. I know he tried but I was a grump and just can't seem to wake up in time for it...that and Yoga is 90 minutes so I was going to have to wake up at 5:20am. So I will have to find time to do this tonight! I was wanting to start on cleaning my home office but that will have to wait. Although doing Yoga before bed will be nice...I'll be super relaxed.

Short term goals (some fitness some not)

1. clean office and get organized (this weekend)
2. WAKE UP for morning exercises (I need to get this going so when I start my couch 2 5k I can do my P90X in the morning and c25k in the evening).

That's it...concentrate on those two things and then move on to another two goals. I like that. One for fitness and one for household/everyday life.

Week 2 day 2 - subbed shoulders and arms with X Stretch

I almost didn't work out again today. But with some great advice I decided to sub in X stretch instead of doing Shoulders and arms like I was supposed to. Yesterday after I worked out I felt great for about an hour and then it all went down hill from there. I was in bed by 7:30 with a massive head ache from this head cold and feeling quite naseous. So instead of repeating last night I did X Stretch. Well 20 minutes of X Stretch it was so relaxing but it's hard to bend over into downward dog when your sinuses are filling so I left it at that. I'm all relaxed though so that's great.

Next stop...jammies, watch BL and bed :) I'm also hoping to wake up magically better :)

Week 2 day 1 - Core Synergistics

Okay so today the work out almost didn't happen. This morning Kevin was slow get ready for work and needed a lift to the train station so I couldn't get my work out in this morning. Oh did I mention I started to get a head cold as of last night at bed time. So then I was about to take lunch at work and I get a call from Becca's school saying she was sick to her stomach at school...she is always sick these days. This time I had to go get her as vomiting isn't something anyone is wanting to clean up. So now my head cold is in full swing and I feel like poop. I almost said not doing it...and Kevin said...take an Advil cold and sinus and see how you feel. I don't even think I really waited enough for it to kick in...I took it and got my work out clothes on and headed to the basement to work out. If I waited for it to work and sat down I think that would have been it. So I did it! yay me!

And it was Core Synergistics...my least favourite...although I didn't mind it so much this time. I'm already stronger in just one week. I noticed I could do a lot more. Including knee push ups that actually look how they are supposed to LOL. not just me dipping my head down. I actually lowered my body and back up again 3 times...that's huge for me. Improved on almost every exercise tonight...there were a few that I had to stop because my sinuses filled and I was losing balance being bent over...but I still did fairly good on those as well. Didn't even attempt the Dreya roll...she's still crazy!!!

Well my recovery drink is done and it's time for me to go chillax with my family for a little bit before it's Becca's bed time.

Woohoo...got through another day.

week 1 day 7 - X Stretch

well!!! I am currently sitting here writing my blog feeling completely like Jelly. Today was my choice rest or X stretch. I decided like my friend Lisa to use this day to stretch as it's excellent for the muscles/body and prevents injuries due to inflexibility. It's very relaxing! Don't get me wrong it's work and you feel each stretch but I'm thinking X Stretch should be done an hour before bed on Sunday nights! I'm ready for bed again and it's only noon :)

I feel so good...have I mentioned that. I know the scale isn't showing any major losses or anything yet...YET!! ;) but I have to say my clothes are starting to feel looser (hopefully not just a figment of my imagination) and I FEEL stronger. I know I have a long way to go but it's just such an amazing high this exercising every day gives you.

I managed to do almost all of X Stretch...I finished it completely but I had to improvise on a couple of stretches until I am more flexible. The roller is a little hard right now until the weight goes down a little more, the seated spinal stretch was interesting...not quite at that level of pretzelbility yet. The one that had me sitting there not stretching at all and just watching with my jaw at the floor was the shoulder stand to Plough!!! ummmm it just doesn't look humanly possible. That one chick, I swear she has no bones at all...she's just all muscles and cartilidge or something...I don't know how she stands.

Either way...love X Stretch and I really look forward to doing that one again...I just completed week 1!!!! Tomorrow back to Core Synergistics...my least favourite so far.

week 1 day 6 - Kenpo X

OMG!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this workout! it doesn't even feel like a workout. I mean you sweat like a pig but I love it so much it's fun not work. I honestly can see why Lisa looks forward to Kenpo day! I rocked it! I held back a little from the fast pace section of each exercise and just concentrated on form. It was so good. I burned 684 calories in 55 minutes. You seriously can't ask for a better work out than that! And you get to feel like you're kicking someone's butt while you do it LOL. Not that I ever have but it's fun to imagine :)

You can really envision protecting yourself while you do this work out. I pity tha fool that messes with any P90X girl :)

I guess that's it for today...didn't sleep well last night was tossing and turning got no sleep at all. Neither did my daughter and Kevin was up most of the night as well. At 5am we all gave up and got up and watched some tv together. So now of course I've hit THE wall and it's all I can do to think about eating dinner I just want my bed :)

Week 1 day 5 - legs and back and ab ripper X

Okay so I could go downstairs and workout at 10pm like my dear friend Lisa but I'm choosing not to. I woke up this morning with a migraine (sadly not from alcohol although I had some) from staying up until 3am New Year's. This happens when I stay up too late...not like when I was younger and went clubbing. I sound so old...I'm really not just my body thinks it is :)

So here is my deal...we went on a family walk in the beautiful snow this evening and I took a nice long hot bath and am feeling much better for the first time today. I'm going to go to bed in a few minutes and start fresh tomorrow. I will skip legs and back this week and move right on to Kenpo X...but I am going to work so hard next week on this missed one. Gotta get those legs in shape...I've been challenged to do a 5K in May.

Good night :)...oh and Happy New Year!
