LEAN/Phase 3/Week 9/Day 5
Oh, this is not good. I only slept for, like, 2 hours last night, and I’m so exhausted. I have a terrible head cold and for some reason just laid in bed all night without falling asleep! I was so tired, I can’t figure out why I never fell asleep! I arranged myself so I could breathe OK, so that wasn’t it. I’m hoping I can get a nap in today or I’ll never survive the Core Syn. workout this evening.
Traci - #1) I must have missed something - why aren’t you going to the Bay this weekend? #2) I agree with you - Tony IS adorable and I’ll have to get a few Master’s Series DVD’s to get my fix, too. My “date“ with your Tony went great last night. I never thought I’d love yoga so much! #3) Your workout yesterday looked brutal! Did you do all of your cardio workout, too? That is super impressive! Way to go! Has Tony really brought up the level of your workouts?
Tracy - Sounds like a great workout yesterday! I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to mix and match workouts to fit my needs like that. How long was the whole workout? LOL about how you now have a core to engage! I feel exactly the same way! It feels so much different doing Cathe’s abs, now that I have a stronger core. Push ups are more effective, too.
Sandra - Did you do that same Kenpo/KickMax workout last week? That sounds like a killer! Those blasts really get me and I’m huffing and puffing and begging for relief. BTW, I had to LOL about your comment a couple of days ago. “Funny how Tony donates this workout to his mom & dad at the end. Was he born of a human mother? I thought he was assembled at BeachBody” That’s hilarious about the scrolling on the bottom of the P90 series. I agree with you, they do have quite a sense of humor at Beachbody. Every once in a while, Tony will say something or I’ll read something in the manual that will catch me off guard and make me laugh! Also, I agree with you about using your body weight being very effective. I really like those lying down on your side tricep exercise where you straighten your arm and raise your body up. I’ve never gotten such good results from any other tricep exercise. I don’t do too well on the dips for some reason.
Lea - Did you say because of Tosca’s book, your pants are falling off you now? I’m getting that book as soon as possible! LOL! Are the recipes basically pretty easy with normal ingredients? I was thinking about getting it earlier, but haven’t yet. Congratulations on your snowboarding lessons! Let us know how that goes. It would kind of concern me that they supply you will butt pads - they’re assuming you’re going to fall on your butt a lot? I just ordered the Gym Style Series and can’t wait to use it post P90X. Are you doing a rotation of some sort with them, or just sort of a freestyle thing?
Monica - I’m glad you’re using Cathe’s workouts and lifting to your own speed. I’m not familiar with the Mix and Match options, since I haven’t used it. What does that do? It will be hard for me to slow my pace down and go at my own slow and heavy speed, since I always tend to do what the instructor does. Maybe after Tony, it will be ingrained in my head, and I’ll have changed my thinking.
Jeanette - Sourdough pancakes Thursday morning? Sorry, that’s right where my eyes went in your post! That sounds delicious! Congratulations on the painting. I always wait until summer before tackling projects like that. I don’t mind the painting, either, but the preparation of taping, scraping, priming, etc.
Also, congratulations on the massage! I haven’t had one in a while. Hey, that would be a good Valentine’s present for someone to get me! LOL!
Debra - Glad you’re enjoying Bryan Kest. I still haven’t really gotten into his workouts. I only did Tone once, so I think I’ll have to give it a couple more chances. I still like Tony’s YogaX the best for some reason. What do you plan on doing today for your workout?
Hope everyone has an X-cellent day! I’m off for a cup of coffee and then to begin some serious house cleaning. It looks like a tornado went through the house!
