Hey haters! How are y'all?
I'm sorry that I haven't been around much. My allergies are getting the best of me and DH has been unexpectedly home which really infringes upon my forum time!
Deb-a few disclaimers about my P90X experience...I didn't follow the nutrition plan because I heart my carbs and would hurt those around me without them AND I added in extra cardio, but I don't believe that it is necessary and probably lessened my results. I battle high cholesterol and many heart disease risks, so I have to work my heart to keep my HDL high. OK, now that I have confessed...you first have to just trust in Tony
Everything in the program is there for a reason and if you do all of the workouts in the order they are supposed to be, that realization will follow. I hate yoga, but after a few go-arounds with YogaX, I began to notice better flexibility, etc. and started to appreciate it. Now, I tried Bryan Kest yesterday and puuuuhhhhlease! it was awful! So, I still hate yoga, but enjoy Tony's version! I agree wholeheartedly with Shelly's comments above. The beauty of this program is that it will help you achieve YOUR best. I lifted weights heavy enough that the 10th rep was really taxing. I also bought a door gym pullup thingy and doing pullups strengthened my back more than anything else. In fact, after 8 weeks of being off of the program, I was still lifting the same weights for my back, but my pullup count was cut in half! That is why I started up again! Anyway, I suggest that the first week you record your reps, weight, whether it was hard, etc. and then use that as a motivator for the following weeks. I really enjoyed competing with myself. I think once you really begin and see results, the motivation will follow. Gosh, I've written a blasted book! Sorry! If nothing else helps, just use the chance to ogle Tony's hotness for a motivator. ;-) Gosh, I hope my blabbering helped some...
Shelley-I'm glad you have Sophie back! It must be nice to spend the weekend with her. I am taking my DD shopping in a minute and am afraid. She wants to dress like she is trying to pick up frat boys and I would prefer she be covered in pink ruffles from head-to-toe. I hope you have a fun day. Oh, by the way, my DH would kill for me to be as blah and boring as you!
Michele-I can't believe your infestation was that bad! Holy cow! I sure hope that goo does what it is supposed to. It is a bonus though that you have an excuse to eat out! Have fun with Dr. Michele!
Terri-WOW! Those pics are gorgeous! Your family is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Ohhh, Mexican sounds so yummy. We are going to eat Chinese tonight and I'm not so excited by that, but, DH has a gift certificate, so I can't get out of it! :7 Have a margarita for me! Oops, maybe not, cuz then it would have to be virgin and that might take some of the fun away! :7
Well guys, the time has come for me to head to the mall. I hope you have a relaxing, fun-filled Saturday and hopefully I'll BBL!
