    Core Synergistics done today. At the end of the workout, I started to get a killer headache. I have been getting them here and there after working out, not sure what's going on. Any ideas? It was a good workout, though, different.

    Are you working out with the heater on? Maybe that is giving you a head ache or like missmaya said, not enough water intake.

    First guess would also be dehydration. Second guess would be not enough to eat in the hours before the work out.

    Hey guys. Checking in from Albuquerque. I managed to get Yoga X in yesterday before I left for the airport, although I did fastforward some of the explain-y parts to try to save some time so I could do extra packing. I managed to do Core Synergistics today... in an art studio, on a laptop with shoddy sound, where everytime I had to do a move on the floor I could no longer see the screen, LOL. I forgot about the higher altitude ABQ has compared to LA! Towards the beginning of the workout I was wondering what was wrong with me and why I was getting winded so easily, and then I remembered the altitude difference. My ego was a little less bruised, but let's just say my Synergistics performance was a little less than stellar :laugh:

    Happy day 23, hope everyone's recovery week is going smoothly. (and Happy day X to everyone else!)

    The more I do Kenpo X, the more I like it. Awesome cardio workout for me and fun. Everything soaked in sweat :D

    To quote Tony, "Actual DNA removal...comes out all over the place"

    Burned ~700 calories over 59 minutes

    Good job Courtney! I know it can be difficult to stick with a workout when stressed and traveling, grats on sticking with it :)

    Thanks for the suggestions, it definitely could have been not enough water, in retrospect, I realized earlier in the day I was so busy and did not drink enough. I have to be better about the water, I am going back to work next week and I always drink more than enough there, so that's one good thing about going back!

    Courtney- WTG working out while away, that's dedication!

    Kenpo later on today! I love the cardio workouts!

    Kenpo X done ... I am going to do some cardio this afternoon and may substitute Yoga X and a cardio session tomorrow for X Stretch in light of the feast.

    I can't believe we are almost ONE MONTH DOWN (of course I am 2 days behind y'all ;) ) ... I had another loss this morning of 1.6 lbs which was fantastic and unexpected. I marked my 21st day of the X with NO WORKOUT AT ALL, not even stretch.

    Tonight I have 1 1/2 hours of Yoga and I am going to do 30 minutes of cardio before starting that. Kind of a drag though because that work out is SO LONG and I have to make some of my side dishes tonight. It may be a late evening.

    For those of you who have done Core Syn, how is the calorie burn? I want to try to get 800-900 calories burned tomorrow. I am concerned because the first time I do any of the DVD's I get less burn because I am stopping to learn the moves so should I try to get some extra cardio in? I am hoping my gym is open so I can jump on an elliptical rather then go for the hike because it's been so cold .. Karen does NOT do cold (and yes I just referred to myself in the 3rd person LOL).

    So, core syn, keeping in mind that I have never done it before and will automatically burn less calories due to inexperience, should I try to get in some cardio before?

    @Karen: Not sure if you saw my response on my update. I had a good burn (around 500ish calories) and the exercises aren't that tricky -- it you took gymnastics as a kid it will bring back some memories. I think you will be fine -- but with that said, I encourage everyone to take a 30-45 minute walk after the feast. Sara understands Karen when she says she doesn't do COLD... I HATE HATE HATE it... but I think the weather here is going to be on the mild side tomorrow. If not then I am probably going to add the Cardio X to my workout tomorrow and will probably trade yoga for stretch for the extra calories. I haven't done Cardio X yet... so it will be nice to see what that is like.

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and I am thankful for our internet relationship of encouragement and comraderie (sp) and dedication doing the X rather than letting it go and procrastinating during the holiday season.

    Thanks Sara, yes, I did see it wanted to post here too. I think that I am going to do the cardio tomorrow morning. I need to burn at least 800 calories to feel okay about eating almost 1000 at one meal hahaha

    I agree, I am thankful for all the support here and all of you folks! and ever thankful that this system DOES work!

    what a high Yoga is ... I had the lights in my apartment turned down and I have purple xmas lights hanging around my bookshelf in my living room, turned those on and in my kitchen I have light purple and blue flickering icicles hanging and had those on ... again, when I got into corpse at the end, Thunder crawled on top of me ... and is sitting on my lap as I type this .. yeah, he lurves me.

    edit: so Day 22 done and I can hardly believe it really. I was again dreading pushing play and not looking forward to an hour and a half of Yoga but man am I glad I did. I am having super duper trouble with the end poses in the first section and some of the balance poses. I am working on the ab stuff at the end too and can't quite bring my chest high enough but I am doing my best for sure. I know I am sweating like I am doing my best. I am looking forward to core tomorrow and have been reading up on the moves. I already have the DVD in the player to press play. I asked one of the trainers if the gym was open and he kinda on the sly told me that the AM people would be there and to show up around 8:15 or so which is perfect since I was planning on going at 830 I will just show up 15 minutes earlier then I planned.

    All shopping is DONE for turkey day and I am going to bang out a couple of sides tonight after I eat dinner, which will have to happen soon here (even though I imagine I will be up late tonight cooking).

    Does anyone know when a thread is maxed out? I fear it might be around 500 posts and we are getting close... if this thread is locked -- I will start a second thread titled in all caps... Part 2.

    I can't sleep. I have to make some stuff to take to my parents and am prepping like a madwoman... (ahem... wonderwoman).... I forgot one ingredient so I am going to have to go out to the devil because they are the only thing open tomorrow (Walmart-- sorry folks... but I hate this place with a passion and even more so when I find out they are open on a holiday....but it looks like they may be my saving grace.... but I digress.... and do not want to be political right now.)

    On top of the aforementioned cooking... I refuse to sacrifice a workout tomorrow... X Stretch is scheduled but I think I am going to sub out Cardio X. I was thinking Yoga X but I think it may be too time consuming... so Cardio X and X Stretch OR... perhaps Cardio X and another round of Kenpo.... this way I can be roasting veggies and baking pies both of which take about an hour... before I have to go to my parents....

    I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.... and Karen... I am so happy you can sneak into your gym tomorrow.....

    Is P90x hard if you have a wrist that was previously injured?
