Are you trying to encourage all of us to try that half? Really does sound like a very pretty course.
Hope the hip feels better after the Chiro visit. Are you doing a Jillian rotation? Some of that is water weight for sure but yeah, the concentrating on the eating thing didn't work so well for me. I honestly need to do both - exercise and watching what I eat - in order to succeed at weight loss. Without one, the other seems to go completely awry. So I gave myself a pep talk and did Tabata Inferno. I'm giving up S90 for now. As much as I like the S90 workouts, I want to do other stuff. I didn't want to feel like Tabata beat me or that I was scared of it, so I did it one last time. Did a couple other short segments from Exercise TV Saturday night. (Biggest Loser Bootcamp 10 min. and a 25 min. circuit with light weights with Chris Freytag) 
I recieved many,many comments on my figure and some have seen my pics on FB so they knew I was doing P90X. I loved seeing my old, dear friends. My body enjoyed the break ,though I did walk 6 miles yesteday, 3 with my friend and 3 with my dog! so I will be mowing the lawn and doing some core work after I get home.
Gearing up for the school year is always stressful, long hours and so much to do. This is the time that I sometimes skip a few workouts because I get so busy. Last year, I managed to hang in there with my routine when so I hope to stay focused the next few weeks and continue to get my workout in.
I did have a wonderful gift when I got home last night though. Oldest DD was in a cleaning frenzy, and walked into a house that was spotless. This morning was my first time trying out the week 3 Ripped in 30, and this is probably my favorite so far. Killer on the legs though. I followed that up with Level 1 of 30 Day Shred. (Not totally of course, but working on it. ) WTG on giving yourself a pep talk, we all need to do that on and off. You did really well with the S90 rotation, sometimes you just have to do something else when the workouts are just not doing the motivational thing. Jillian is on a short workout kick right now. I think the next workout she is coming out with in Dec is Extreme Shred, so it makes me wonder if that is going to be the 3-2-1 method also. We have two weekends left of the faire, and I have to say that I'm ready for it to be over with. It has been a long hot summer, but these last two Sundays have been a blessing. I agree with you though, I do wish there was a way to skip.
She is ok with having to be there one day earlier, because it is so much better not having those upper classmen in the way when you are trying to find your classes. My oldest said that she would walk around the school with her on Thursday when we have registration. I have noticed my gut and love handle area shrinking from doing the RI30/30DS combo. I have heard that the So Delicious brand is very good, guess that is confirmation. Apparently some people felt the aftershocks around this area, but I didn't feel anything. Glad that you where able to calm your nerves with a couple glasses of vino. That would be my cure all also.
I have that Turbo Jam set. I like the workouts, but I've memorized everything Chalene says so I haven't done one of them in awhile. Let me know how KCM Muscle Definition is, I've been curious about that one. Have a great day everyone.
Heartymax, I didn't know you live in Maryland. My DS lives in VA Beach and he said he didn't feel anything, but his friends did, I guess...go figure. They are now concerned about Irene and yesterday we had a tornado only 15 miles from us
I have the MIL that is a martyr! She claims that she didn't want to bother us by calling to let us know. Of course it would be so much better to get a phone call from some hospital in SC to say something happened to one of them. Sorry for the rant! Glad you could get a great workout with Hi Reps.
I think the So Delicious milk is an acquired taste. The texture is a little grainy and it tastes even more watery than regular skim milk. I was shocked my kids liked it. Thanks for the reminder. I need cardio and more lower body work so I think I'll do LM tomorrow. He has an ingrown toenail that I had to take him to the doctor for yesterday. She cut it out and put him on antibiotics to take care of the infection. Hopefully no one steps on his toe today. DH said he should put a big bandage on his thumb so if they do, they'll think he's grimacing because of the thumb - not the toe - so they won't target his toes. Football players can be mean - especially when the referee isn't looking.
