Back in the saddle

Well, remember that Flare up that I spoke of last entry ... well, it turns out that it was a cyst that ruptured which caused an infection, massive swelling and increadible pain. SO, I did not manage to keep up with Mr. Wonderful for two days and I was feeling terrible about it; however, last night I got back into it. So this morning I am sore from my elbows right up to my shoulders :) And it feels so good! We did Shoulders, bi and tri and I have improved considerably from last week - so that was encouraging. We have also motivated our 14 year old daughter to join us... so that is BIG news!

Tonight is Plyo again and I will bring it because my leg is sensitive now rather than sore - so I am ready for PLYO!

Make it a great day!

Plyo + Flare up = 1 hard night!

So last night I was in a flare up and was struggling to walk but after some meds I was able to find the courage to push play... mainly it was because my hubby was going to be doing it and I could not resist joining him. SO, after the meds started to kick in we pushed play and gave it all we had. My dear hubby did AWESOME! There was not a move that he was not able to do and keep up with Tony and the gang... he rocked it! I, on the other hand, had difficulty warming up but once the meds took full effect and the joints were loosened up it went well. There were a couple of exercises that I was forced to modify and I successfully stuck through it all. I am sure that was worth a TON of calories!

So, tonight is another new exercise and I am looking forward to it.

Make it a great day!

Bi, Tri and shoulders

OMGoodness... that was a ton of push ups! I know that I will see improvement in this workout because I was rather disappointed with my results of my first time around. I know that I have a lot of work to do and I am confident that by pushing myself during the exercises I will see the fruit of my labor.

Tonight is one of my favorite nights... Plyo!

Bring it!

Core Synergistics

WOW... I don't know if it was my diet yesterday or if I just needed a shot of SOMETHING but the workout was tough. I did all my push-ups from the plank position and I managed to do all but the Plank to Chattarunga ISO and the table thingy at the end. I was SWEATING up a storm! Totally soaked my tank tops... both of them and it felt so good when I was done. We started at 8h30 pm and that may have been a bit late for the busy day that we had put in but I did it - I pushed play!

Tonight starts Phase 2 and I can't wait... tomorrow morning I am getting up early and doing Cardio as my plan is to do doubles for the remainder.

Make it a great day!

Today = day of rest...

BUT because yesterday was my baby boy's 5th birthday party we took last night as our night of rest and hubby and I decided that we would crush Core again tonight... just for fun!

We managed very well this past week and I will be weighing in again at my Doctor's office on Wednesday so I will update my progress on Wednesday or Thursday. Tomorrow we start Phase 2 and I hear that it has some intense videos - I can't wait!

I just wanted to say that I have graduated from my knees to my toes for the push ups in this program!!! I am struggling but I am getting it done and I am proud of myself!!

Anyway, make it a great day!

I may have stopped updating daily...

... but I haven't stopped pushing play! I am still keeping track of my daily calorie intake and I am enjoying the recovery week this week. Tonight is Stretch X followed by another round of Core and Yoga to complete the week. I realized that with all the strength training of the Classic program that I have not kept up with the cardio portion that the Lean program offered. I was gased the first time I did the Core workout (and my core is still sore because of that workout) but I felt much better last night while doing Kenpo. I love the sweat from the cardio exercises and I am looking forward to doing the Cardio X three times per week beginning next week. I can't wait to see the results of the next 30 days.

Make it a great day!

Still going strong

You know when you are planning a work-related trip and you insist on upgrading to a suite to allow for room to do the P90X that you have it BAD! But, that is what I am doing for next week!

Still doing the exercises every night and I am starting the recovery week this week... so bring on the cardio! I really like this program a lot... can't wait to see what phase 2 looks like... I am planning on doing doubles this phase.

Make it a great day!
