Day 26 trying to keep the momentum going…
I have about 3 more weeks before the real world kicks back in and I cannot devote my mornings, days or nights to this workout thing. I am trying to work the schedule now. I can do it with the kids yelling in the background that they want to go do something fun! I can do it with them walking in and out of the room telling me how gross and sweaty I am! I can even do it with the BF in the room watching or not watching! That’s how you know you have passed a roadblock in your mind! If you can bring it just as hard with other people staring at you as you would alone with no one around then you have crossed into another area of fitness! I’m a little hesitant on the “Oms” for the Yoga still, but in my defense I don’t have the big breaths anyway that can carry my voice for that long.
Here’s a funny thing that happened today: I gave my daughter a little pop in the jaw this morning as she walked past me while I was doing my warmup jumping jacks. It tapped her perfect right under the chin and clicked her teeth together. I swear I almost pee’d after the sound it made and her voice that said, “Oh!” I said, “Why the heck did you walk past me when you knew I was throwing my hands up?” And she said that she knew how light I throw my arms up and she didn’t think it would hit her and even if it did it probably wouldn’t hurt anyway! She’s a koo-koo but it made the workout less serious and more fun. And don’t worry she is totally fine. She went right on into her room to watch a movie while I dripped all over the living room floor.
Anyway, I want the exercise part of my day to be seamless for when I start mine and the kids school schedule. I’ll need to workout the minute they leave for the bus and then shower and get the heck out of here to make my classes. 16 weeks now. 16 weeks after X-Mas. Then I am done. Done done done and I can work work work for the rest of my natural born life. Good thing I’m working out now. I’ll be so strong I’ll never die! Ha.
Alright, well, I need to motivate my son to finish his “job” for the day. He’s so close! All the lawns are cut and all he has to do is sweep and get rid of the big stalky weeds.
Oh and if I haven’t talked enough about how great P90X is and how much I love Tony Horton (is it wrong to have a crush on my fitness instructor??? heehee) then here’s one more reason to love him and the system: Tony and the Kids! The DVD I just got for my son (and daughter) but mostly my son. HE WILL BE FIT! No more beer belly! Haha. For the record, Mason says, “I don’t have a beer belly!! You are not even funny anymore MOM!”
Then let’s go! Everyone push play and bring it with whatever you got! I’ll be back later. X it!
P90X…just rolling along…
I still can’t get the daily thing going yet to post but….
Day4…Yoga X Killer. Never did yoga before, probably not the best one to start with, but I brought it.
Day5…Legs, Back, Ab Ripper Oh yes, no mercy.
Day 6…Kenpo X Whatever…I was doing what they were doing…only less.
Day 7…X Stretch…THIS is the yoga other people are doing.
WEEK 2!!! I did not quit. I hit play everyday! But there is no glory for one week.
Day 8…Chest, Back, Ab Ripper again….but this time I am prepared. I have a pull-up bar for the door and push up bars for the floor. I can do ZERO pull-ups using only my arms. I can do about five with the “chair” help. Push ups…are getting up to like 10 at a time now (on my knees…but Tony says that’s cool…get to 25 on the knees and move it to the toes)
Day 9…Today. Plyometrics. You have never seen someone sweat this much in their living room. I have never sweat this much for ANYTHING, and I gave birth, twice!
Tomorrow is Day 10. I won’t quit now. Plus it’s fun shoulders and arms (and abs)…get to use my stuff! I can’t say that I lost weight…eating as healthy as my brain lets me…but I do feel different. My body seems to be shifting and crying. I have been sore since the first day. I am still sore. This seems to be the norm for all. Muscle Confusion. My muscles are definitely confused. They are wondering why the hell they are not sitting on the couch eating ice cream anymore instead of trying to be torn out of my body on a daily basis now.
So, this is just a quick update to move my site along and annoy my sister!
I am dedicating all my P90X workouts and all the subsequent results to her! I love you Amanda and I intend to talk you to death about this until we die! Now get off the computer chair and go lift something! Bring It!!
And check the pics at the top of the page…It’s my new “gear”.
Oh one more thing…as if all the P90X talk isn’t enough…I got my rotation for Fall classes and the rest is coming next week. I get to buy all my new books and all the rest of my last year of school stuff!! I get to talk about TWO things. At once!! “Boring my family and friends on two levels now!!” (Thanks Mom, that quote was from you. You won’t think it’s so boring though when I use all my skills to LIFT you up to change the diap-py and administer those meds you’re gonna need! ) Hahahaha XXXX
just shy of pretty
