    Good morning ladies, my day got off to a very slow start b/c once again I did not sleep well. I was tired, so, headed to bed about 11 pm but was up around 1 am for no apparent reason. I could not fall back to sleep until about 4 am so getting up to exercise at 6 am was not going to happen. I finally did muster up the energy and got the workout done. Today is day 4 of P90X and it was suppose to be Yoga. I still haven't been able to wrap my mind around doing Yoga especially since that dvd is 90 minutes long. So instead of doing the Yoga dvd I did 40 minutes of the Cardio X dvd which incorporates moves from the Yoga, Plyo, Kenpo and Core X dvds. That was a nice burn and I can feel yesterday's workout of shoulders and arms.

    As always I am glad I did the workout AND that it's over for the day.

    Chocolickkyss: 7/7...Woohoo, I've earned a smiley face and another point for the year.

    I LOVE THIS CHALLENGE!!!!!!

    7/7 I hate to be happy when a client cancels but it gave me a free hour. The exercise Gods must have been smiling on me. I found myself a mile from my mom's house and she had the day off. So we squeezed in a 1/2 hour of low impact aerobics. I plan to try some Zumba when I get home from work.

    Good morning everyone!! Lily came back home yesterday and does not want to see me. That is normal since I am the one who brought her to the vet and who is forcing her to take the pain killers. Some people might say that I am cruel, but after the surgery she just had, she needs those pain killers. She will come back to me soon and we will be best friends :happy:

    Yesterday, Saxoldies gave me a much needed massage. That was his exercise for the day. Today, I will take it easy. I will do the work for my knee and I will do some Pilates. My body needs to rest a little. I probably will go do a little something when Saxoldies will come home tonight to encourage him or I will just sit while we talk during his exercise. I'll see how I feel.

    Almomay, it is a great idea to change your program from time to time. Your body cannot get use to one particular training and get bored, it is always challenged.

    Verda, I hope you were able to rest well last night, I know I did!!

    Ivykivy, it is too bad about your Taebo, I hope you can replace it.

    Congradulations Choco. I raise my hat to you. Doing a 40 minutes cardio workout after such a bad night is not easy. It takes a lot of commitment :flowerforyou:

    Nice going Victoria. I love it that you are able to encourage your mom to exercise like this.

    Speak to you all later!!

    7/7 Insanity Plyometrics Cardio Circuit and 'some' yoga! I am sooooo not into yoga but I will try and give it another shot later today!
    i am checking into a NEW car too! The Buick Enclave!!! :heart:
    Yes Dominique I had a nice night until hubby gets up at 3 a.m. to leave for work by 4 a.m! I get his food and lunch already the night before so I do NOT have to get up at that ungodly hour! But my "hot flash" alarm usually goes off between 4:30-5:00! Oh well I will take that, a year ago it was every hour and i was contemplating suicide! not really but it was unbelievable!!! Now my progesteron pill helps me sleep and I am almost "normal" now!! LOl
    Hope everybody bust's a sweat without a hotflash today! LOL

    Thanks Verda and Missou. Sometimes you have to move on. I need to let the vcr tapes go. It is another sign I am getting old :laugh:

    Verda, I hope you you had a good night sleep. I wake up every hour to go to the bathroom.

    Missou sorry Lily is angry with you. But like you said she will come back to you.

    Debra, my dad is a mechanic and sales cars. You don't want to go anywhere near the food. They tend not to be the best at handwashing.:laugh:

    7/7 today. Did C25K week 5 day 1. I just moved on. I had to slow down but I'm going to keep going til I finish. I will do more walk/jog intervals later at an actual running speed:laugh:

    I wonder where Casi is. She hasn't been around since last Saturday. I hope every thing is alright with her.

    When I go at my mechanic's, I usually take a box of chocolate that is on display on the counter or I go take a long walk outside. I know, the walk is better for me, but.....

    Ivykivy, wouldn't it be possible for you to get a Taebo DVD?

    I am up to 7/7 too!! I did the work for my knee and I went on the AKP. I am starting to see my muscles on my left thigh and a little on my stomach. I can't wait to see the same thing the right thigh and on my calves. I am going to look good in a bikini in May :happy: :happy:

    Missou- cheers to looking good in bathing suit in May!!!!

    Vhuber- wow, you rock with your workouts!!!!!! You are truly inspirational!!!!!

    makeitallsue- Awesome willpower, you can do it!!!!!!!!

    I am so excited, I'm at 7/7 for another point. I did Shaun T's Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance & cArdio Abs, for a total of 60 minutes. The Insanity exercises were exactly what I was looking for in terms of needing a push. I have never sweated so much in my life, and I love it. I'm left sweating just like the guys on the TV. It's kinda like a bootcamp/ plyometrics/ army training. But I love it!!!!!!

    Have a great day all!!!!!!!!!!

    Insanity spoils ANY other workout! Once you get through the 2 month series you are addicted to the high energy calorie burning sweat dripping workouts and none other can replace it! They need to label it with a Caution " May becomes an addiction"!
    Did you start from the beginning with the fit test ? They NEVER get easy!!!

    vhuber- I didn't start with the Fit Test. I'm exploring the dvds and just trying them out to get a feel for them. You're right. Today is day 2, and I'm addicted to the high adrenaline. The first day I did them, I thought to myself, this guy is insane. Then I thought, that's why it's called Insanity!!!.. I've been looking for a high calorie burner when I can't go to the gym and run in the treadmill. It's like my body yearned for a high calorie burner.

    kgasser- You're right!!! Everyone here rocks!!! And high five to you for exercising all of those days consecutively. I don't think I would be able to do this without you guys!!!!!!

    1/7 starting the week out right by jogging on the treadmill. Today is the first day (counting warm up and cool down) that I hit the 5K mark. Hopefully it wont be too long until I can jog the whole way. I spent 45 min on the treadmill jogging for 35.

    Happy Friday ladies! Today is day 5 of the P90X series and I completed 58 minutes of the Leg and Back dvd along w/some of the Ab ripper X dvd. I can tell already that some dvd will be more problematic for me than others b/c I struggled w/leg and back today. Part of my problem is that I can only complete one pull up and the entire back section is different forms of the pull up. I tried to improvise by wrapping my bands around the pull up so I could at least do some type of back routine. While I did attempt to give it my all I'm really unsure on how successful I was at it. Now onto the problems w/the leg exercises. This dvd incorporates a lot of lunges or one legged squats (or something to that extent) and b/c I have a bad knee it was pretty difficult, so I tried to modify as best I could. All I can say is that I gave it my best and hopefully in time I find better ways to adjust.

    Enough rambling, the workout is done....WooHoo, WooHoo!

    Chocolickkyss: 1/7
