I am definitely sick! All of my muscles hurt a lot more than regular DOMS. I may take a rest day and do yoga on Sunday instead. DH is so sick of me working out on Sundays but that's how it has to be.
Oooohhh, I just got my P90X plus and I can't do it
At least I can watch it and check it out
Everyone was so chatty yesterday and I feel a month behind in personals. I will try my best to catch up but if I missed something just tell me again
Traci-X, I am trying to be good but I feel so helpless when I don't have the right foods around and a menu planned. I am staying away from the candy and such but the carbs are killing me. I cannot wait to get some whole grains in this house. It's supposed to start raining today and last until Monday so maybe I can make some good foods to have in the freezer. I know that's the key to staying on track, being prepared! This will be a great new year for us. We all have April as motivation right?
I do like CardioX this round. I split it away from CS because I wanted to give my core a chance to recover in between. Another reason is that I was washing my hair almost every day and it is getting really dry. With CS&T I can fake it with my slightly sweaty hair
Also, I'm with you on the Dick Clark thing. Kudos to him for getting in front of the camera, speech problem and all!
Tracy, How are you liking the X? Is it just what you needed or do you think you'll get bored? Are you doing doubles so you can get a run in there? Whew, that's a lot of questions
I am a regular watcher of TBL and I think it's great. My cousin is really overweight and she says it's not real. Nobody could workout that much in the real world is what she says. I told her that probably half of those contestants end up loving fitness so much that they become mentors or personal trainers so it must have a good impact on them. I think it's a great jump start in to fitness and lifestyle change. I wish more heavy heavy people would watch so they could see what can be done with diet and exercise. Most people don't like pushing themselves to the point of being uncomfortable and that's what it takes.
Sandra, You know what I realized? I don't workout my Biceps for this whole month! I hope the yoga will get them. I purchased a whole bunch a veggies and some chicken breasts so I could grill them and freeze them. I have my Eat Clean Cookbook, Clean Eating magazine, Eating Well magazine and Cooking Light out to make a menu for the grocery store tomorrow. I hope it inspires me to eat lots of good for me stuff. The positive thing about all the junk during the holidays is that you don't want to see for a month so it gives you a good jump start into clean eating. You better slow down with the extra workouts! You're going to make us look bad come April
I'm glad you enjoyed the card
It was such a fun vacation and I'm ready to go back already!
Lea, I'm glad you're on the road to recovery just as I'm taking the exit to sickville)x Doesn't the cruddy food just make you sick! I too am glad to get back to the norm of eating good food. I don't think I could do raw but lots of fruits and veggies are a start, right?
Latrese, It's good to see you again. I think all of this junk food is what's making us sick! Aren't you glad the holidays are behind us and we can start fresh? Is Ted still spoiling you rotten? Tell him he has to be a good boy for the next feww weeks until we all get back on track.
Jeanette, I'm glad your DG was able to come home. I got a giggle reading your description of grandma when you went to visit. That's just how I picture her since you told us about her love for romance novels
I think a little lapdog would be great for her. She could talk to it and tell it how steamy her novels are
Is your laptop working again? Any good movies lately? DH and I went to see No Country For Old Men on NYE and we liked it. It has quite a bit of violence in it but it's a Coen brothers film so that is to be expected. They did Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou and The Big Lebowski. I saw Fargo and liked it so I figured I might like this one.
Laurie, I'm glad DD's meeting went well. I bet that was a load off your shoulders. I think sports are good for all kids. My DS is playing basketball right now and he really enjoys it. He is active anyway but it is a good energy outlet for him. I think as he gets older I'll have him in more sports but not too much because I don't want it to be a chore. You have a lovely family. It's nice to see pictures so you can picture who is being talked about. I think we're all worn out from the holidays! It seems we are all feeling a bit punky today. At least we stick together. right?
Wendy, you should make yourself a morning person now while you have a jump start on it! I am a bit taken a back by your early start but maybe it will be good
Maybe you could start in a few weeks as we are starting Phase 3. Traci, Jeanette and I are doing Lean but Tracy, Sandra, Laurie, Kim and Latrese are doing Classic. Crazy Carol is doing doubles and you could join her if your crazy too
Yummy, Thai food:9 I would amck you if you went back to Thailand before coming to an X'er reunion
I sure hope DS's swim test goes better this week. I guess you don't get a lot of chances to practice swimming in PA
Kim, You are doing a fantastic job at keeping up with all of us! ^5!! I think you've been better than me as of late. Are you enjoying P90X? The DOMS are really bad for the first month or so but it does get a little better. I didn't get the recovery drink either. It was so expensive and it had some not so clean stuff in it. As long as I'm eating clean I don't need it. Just drink lots of water and eat a well balanced meal when you're done and you'll be fine.
Carol, I'm glad life is returning to normal for you! Are you back to doing doubles? Don't get too warn out and get sick again. I think that's what does it. My boys don't go back until Monday so it won't be 100% normal until then. I don't mind having them home until then because my head would really hurt if I had to drive up and down the hill right now. The elevation change is about 100 ft. so it's a killer.
Debra, {{{{{HUGS}}}}} again! I hope the end is in sight for you. Have you been able to see CB lately? I bet he''s good and calming you down. Read my earlier post. It's almost over:* Hey, you have us to look forward too
We'll be a good distraction, trust me
Swifty, I'm glad you got the card and that it brought back good memories. I have great memories and am so looking forward to returning. How is the studying going? How long until you're done? Miss seeing you!
I must get back to the boys as I have been here an hour typing this. DS is tapping me incesently and it's driving me crazy}(
Talk to you all later,
Nicole
Bring it!!!
