Day 12 ~ Legs and Back + Ab Ripper

It was so hard to get up this morning as it has been the last 3 days. I wish I had the flame & fire I had when I first started, getting up at 5am with my husband to workout. I am getting up and starting no later than 7:00am so that is not too bad. Besides, I am able to go at my own pace and pause the dvd so I can keep a record of everything.

This morning I set up shop out on the back porch. It was a gorgeous morning to workout outside. My fur babies sat next to my area the whole way through and watched me which made it hard to keep a straight face with the way Skyla was looking at me like "WTH are you DOING?"

Then the evil chipmunks did not help much either. I say evil, because their cuteness took my attention away and I stopped during my Oblique V-ups to watch them play in my yard.

I missed a few reps and totally missed the Leg Climbs as well. My back has been hurting so it has been a little difficult to even lay down but I am pressing on. I must say though that I have completed all 12 days without fail (Fail meaning not missing one workout) It has been said that when people try to make changes, the average time they commit to it is 2 weeks ~ I'm saying I'm ready to bring on the next 12!

Day 6 ~ Kick My A** KENPO!

WEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEE
I think I just kicked my own butt! I made it though. Yes, indeed I have made it through the whole Kenpo dvd and it really made my fat cells cry aka I sweated fiercely! Now THAT is what I like in a workout. I do not necessarily like to sweat at all but with a workout it is a whole different story. Its about knowing when I can shred and shed some pounds and I am looking to beat this belly fat.

Tomorrow is either a rest day or do the Stretch X. I might just check out the Stretch X. I just love stretchin' dem mus-kles (nya nya nya nya **my best impression of Popeye though it might be the worst anyone has ever heard)

Day 5 - Legs and Back

oh boy oh boy ! I am going to have to get the Recovery Drink! I am drinking a Soy Protein shake after my workouts but I am still feeling a little weak towards the end. I usually eat something that is easily digestible before all of my workouts but I still get that bottomed-out feeling. Am I supposed to eat the breakfast in the P90X menu prior to every workout? If it says what to do or if it is mentioned in the informational DVD, I missed it. I am definitely going to have to set some goals to-do

GOALS:

• download/print workout logs
• order recovery drink
• order protein bars
• read/watch instructional material again
• get to bed at a decent hour!!!!

it is also possible that I did not get enough rest last night. I promised my kiddos I would watch a movie with them but by the time I was finished helping my husband make some minor repairs to the roof on our shop it was already 9pm. Starting a movie at that hour does not make for a good night's sleep especially when we get up at 5am! But a promise is a promise and I try to keep them as best as I can when it comes to time with my kiddos.

NOTE TO SELF: lets get a tighter schedule going

as for the workout today ~ FANTASTIC!!

Day 4 - Yoga-fying

It is the 4th day and even I have impressed myself by getting up and accomplishing my Yoga X Program (I believe this is my fave so far). Well, I cannot say it was totally finished. There was only about 20 minutes left on the video and I just had to stop. The kids were already getting up, the phone was ringing and the hubby needed me to send stuff via email. So, although it was not a COMPLETE complete workout, I am feeling accomplished. The muscles are burning! hoo yeah!

~ I love yoga! ~
