Making the Cut---Jillian Michaels

Hey, Mickie!

We're relatively close to Exton. We're NW of Philly. We usually ski in the Poconos, but this winter we went to VT- Stratton- for Pres. weekend. That was really nice- of course nothing compared to what you get!!! I'd love to get out west to ski one of these years!!!

FL was warm, which home was not!! We went to the Tampa area- FIL- and to Orlando and theme parks. Eating properly was very difficult!!:grumble: I did make better choices than in vacations past- less alcohol, for one. However, I exercised every day!!! I even got up early to run! This was my first rest week with P90X, so I didn't have to do any heavy duty restistance work. I did 2 of the routines and did cardio the rest of the time.

You should check out P90X!! My dh is so impressed with my results in the 1st month that he decided to do it, too!!! Also, I think his ego doesn't want to let his wife be able to do more push-ups!!!!LOL:bigsmile:

Have a happy Easter!

Hey there! Sounds like a great vacation!!!! Let me know if you ever come out my way..Tahoe is beautiful, and only an hour and a half from here. I'd love to get back to your neck of the woods again too! It's gorgeous country!!! I LOVE the fireflies in the summer...so mystical!!!

I'm thinking about the P90X...how much does that cost, about?

Oh...speaking of the alcohol thing...I think I'm going back on the wagon...during vacation, I started breakig out in hives everytime I drank wine. :frown: What's up with that? I'm wondering if I now have developed an allergy to wine? Weird, huh? I have a"cellar" full of it too...and I LOVE it!!! Ahhhh....I guess i should go see an allergist. Have you ever heard of anyone doing that?

Hey.

Glad you're both doing well.

I'm doing good. I'm not doing a structured routine at this time. I'm still working out 5-6 days a week, 2 of strict cardio and the other 3 or 4 of some sort of a weight routine. Sometimes I use one of Jillian's days, sometimes I switch it up and combine some of the exercises she uses. I might have to break down & get the P90x and check it out.

I'm thinking of trying a spin class. Has either of you tried one? I've heard its a great workout.

Well, talk to you both later.

Mickie-

P90X costs about $120. The only equipment you need is a pull-up bar (Iron Gym, $30- removeable over-door) and weights or resistance bands. I prefer free weights, but now have to go buy heavier weights. Also, my dh has decided to start, so I need to buy much heavier weights for him.

As for the alcohol thing, you can develop an allergy to alcohol, or more specifically the things in it. I have a friend who can't drink red wine due to the tannins. Guess you'll have to switch to vodka!!!:laugh:

Shari-

Based on your fitness and commitment, I think you'll love P90X! And I used to spin a lot! I love it! It's a great workout! The main reason I don't any more is the inconvenience of the gym and that I've started to run.

Good luck!:flowerforyou:

Okay..so the red wine seems so be the worst for me. I break out in a rash all over my abdomen. What happens to your friend?
