Good morning,
I did my workout first thing today: Christi Taylor's Totally Cool Step, incl. the bonus cardio, then BG stability ball bonus abs. Nice little workout. My glutes and quads are talking to me a bit today, after BG on Wednesday.
I'm getting the feeling that I might be coming down with a cold
I have a mild fullness starting in my sinuses, I feel tired, and chest is feeling tight. My friend who visited on Monday phoned yesterday and sounds like death warmed over. I think I may have picked up the bug - hopefully all my healthy eating really does strengthen the immune system and I won't end up sounding like her. Poor thing. The ironic part is that she was worried about her kids picking up lice from mine. Ha!
Teddygirl - I hope you're having a great weekend! Booooo on getting another ticket!
JeanetteX - I'm glad you motivated me to pull out my Christi workouts again. I had a nice time this morning. What is a tapas resaurant? All I can envision is that tapas shoulder stretch Tony does in the P90X warm ups! The band work in the GS shoulders really does burn, doesn't it? I make a few grimaces when doing those. DH is riding to work 3-4 days a week, which is almost an hour each way. Then he's going out on a longer ride on his road bike on Sundays. That's about all he has time for these days. It would be nice if he could get out for a bit on Wednesday evenings. Maybe we can organize ourselves a bit better, so he can do that. I'm thinking of ordering that Squeeze workout. People are raving about it. If you haven't already left yet.....Have a GREAT weekend!!
Wendy - You are a machine. KenpoX at 11:30pm, after a night of no sleep? Craaaazy!! I look forward to Wendy Unedited later today, or tonight, or whenever you have a chance.
LaurieX - Ooooh, you sound like you're having fun with this wedding! How are you associated with the bride/groom? Sibling? Friend? Do you enjoy P90X more than Cathe workouts? No one says you ever have to stop doing P90X. And of course, there are new P90X workouts coming out soon!!! And P90X Masters....So much to do, so little time! Congrats to your daughter. She's quite the athlete!!!
TraciX - Well, you made it farther than I did with Round 2!! I know it's difficult to discern whether you're quitting because it's genuinely the best thing to do, or whether you're just getting bored and giving up. But either way, I don't think it's a bad thing. You did great for the first 2 phases, and since you've already been through the whole thing, you probably reaped the most benefits from it. I think Round 1 gives your body the greatest amount of "shock". You're going to do great with doing your own thing. Your workout library has grown in leaps and bounds!! Time to get down to business and see what you can do with it all. Maybe we'll all start another round some day with the new P90X workouts. Oh dear, if you found ingredients in the Vegan Planet book hard to find, then you will not like You Are What You Eat. She's got stuff in there that is completely unrecognizable. I recommend you pass on this book. I never made the Sweet Potato Risotto yet (that's in Tosca's book, right?). I really should give it a go; I love love love love sweet potatoes. I've been doing small ones wrapped in foil on the bbq, and am thrilled with the results. Thanks for the link to the lower body rotations. I'll check that out! You did BM2 double upper body, too? Did Amy influence you in that decision? Isn't it funny how you can pump out all those push ups in P90X, and yet the push ups in BM2 upper body still feel hard?? I wonder why that is? I love the music in LG, and Cathe has such a relaxed, fun demeanor. It's been a while for me, too. There's sit and stands in LG? I don't remember those. It might be time to pull that workout out again. Have a terrific time at the Bay! Are you going to be incommunicado, or in communicado?
Amy - My, I'm very curious about this eating plan you've been working on! So, are you going to finish the X rotation? I can certainly relate to flagging motivation when life gets disrupted. But keep in mind that it was only a few days of interruption; out of the whole 90 days, it's not really that much, and you will still see great results if you keep on keeping on. I have yet to do that BM2 upper body 2x premix. I find one round challenging enough; I have no doubt 2 rounds will sting. Oh my, the water lilies sound amazingly beautiful. Pull a Monet and paint them, won't you? Ahhh, I'm getting caught up, and I see you're going to take a P90X vacation. It sounds like the BM2 weight work fries you just as good! Between your and TraciX's moaning today, I don't know that I'm too eager to try it myself
I planted all my sprouts and seeds last night, then had to cover them all with garbage bags because there was a risk of frost. Hopefully something in these 8 large pots will grow and bear fruit.
Nicole - YogaX has a great cardio factor, doesn't it? I always enjoyed that workout. Where did the free cell phones come from for you to list on ebay? Do you have a home business of some sort? If you enjoy doing yoga, you won't regret PY4H. Fun! Do you really have to drive your kids 80 miles every day for school?? I'd be eating a lot of breakfasts in the car!
DebraX - I LOVE the sounds of your neighbourhood fund raiser! That's an awesome idea to have a gathering of "home party" companies all on the same night. How did it go? How are you feeling today? Did you enjoy your new Shiva yoga? I'm still waiting for mine to even ship, as the book I concurrently ordered DH is holding up the whole order. Good thing I love him...Oh, I just read your last post from y-day. The Shiva yoga is good; your bi's are tired. I call that a good day! Did you get a good sleep?
TracyX - You know what's hilarious: I haven't even told DH that I've gone back to eating vegan....and he hasn't said a word! I don't know if he's even noticed, to be honest. Obviously he sees that I'm eating something different than they are at dinner time, but I think he might be scared that if he says something, he'll end up having to eat it too!! How are your legs today? Welcoming the break today? What's your part-time job? I don't remember you mentioning that before, but you probably did.
Cheryl, Swift Amy - Have a great weekend!
No holiday for me this weekend; we had ours last weekend, remember? Ah, ya'll are too self-absorbed LOL!!! I'm Canadian! We celebrated old Queen Victoria's birthday last Monday.
Enjoy your memorial day weekend. Isn't this the weekend of cherry pie and bbq's? Mmmmm :9 :9 Have a few bites for me, please.
SandraX
