I’m at the end of week 7 of p90x. Because the SO skipped some days we ended up on the same schedule this week. I said at the beginning of this that I wouldn’t work out with him because we are too competitive. But, it was fun. It is just for this week since I’m [...]
see more dog and puppy pictures Riley likes to help me workout. He loves my super squooshy mat. He believes if I am reaching to the ground then I should be petting him. I have never fallen on him doing yoga but I did almost flatten him during a disastrous attempt at one arm pushups [...]
I’m in week 4 of p90x. That is the first recovery week. There is no weight lifting this week. You do yoga, kenpo, core work, and stretching workouts. It is still an hour of working out a day. I can’t stand it. I love weight lifting. I miss it. You’d think I would like a [...]
I finished up week three of p90x last night. The first three weeks are all the same. Now I have a recovery week. No weights this week but lots of yoga, cardio, and a new workout called Core Synergistics which is scary to contemplate. There is a move in last night’s workout called the X. [...]

Last week I mentioned that my pants were starting to fit a bit differently. Yesterday I put on the same pants straight out of the dryer and they were officially big. That of course means I spent most of the day showing people that I could pull my pants down too low. I’m a blast [...]

I started week three today. This is another repeat week. So far I haven’t missed any workouts, even if I probably should have. I’ve been sick off and on for most of the time I’ve been doing this (I still think the workout is trying to kill me). One unexpected side effect is that I’m [...]

Remember back at the first week of p90x when I said that there were ab moves that I totally failed at doing? Well since then I’ve decided that when they do those moves that what they are saying to my own self is “Break Time”. I’ve been doing this three days a week for a [...]

I survived the first week of p90x and I actually even liked it! In fact, I think I’m obsessed. Because we are leaving right after I get off work today to go to my parents’, I got up early to do pylometrics. That is staggering. I don’t get up early for anything, especially to work [...]

Yesterday was Kenpo day. This is a cardio kickboxing/martial arts workout. I was really stiff through my hamstrings and calves after the leg day so I was a little worried about the kicks but it was fine. This workout was pretty fun but it is well known that I watch way too much Buffy so [...]

Last night I had to adjust my blankets over my feet in bed and I sat up and did it. Yes, I did Ab Ripper X for the first time on Thursday morning and on Sunday night I was able to sit up unassisted again. I don’t think I’ve been as proud of that since [...]
I woke up this morning feeling fine. (Oh crap, I wrote that without thinking. The last time I discussed that band I got nasty emails from the lead singer. Freaky.) Anyway, my arms only hurt a little which I attribute to my problem with the bands and not my intrinsically tough arm muscles. Today was [...]

By this morning the soreness in my chest and back was mostly gone but if I’m laying down I still can’t sit up without rolling over first. Today was shoulders, biceps, and triceps followed by AbRipperX again. Again I was doing this with resistance bands since I was doing it at home. This was a [...]

By 7:45 last night it hurt to breathe. Not hurt exactly. It was more like there was a band around my lower ribs that restricted my breathing. I had a rough night. My subconcious went batty. I’ve been listening to a story about maids on audio book. I started reading a book about werewolves yesterday. [...]

I did day one chest and back today. This video is mainly pushups and pullups. It shows you how to modify the pullups with either resistance bands or by using a chair to partly support your weight. Today I did the bands because I was at home. I didn’t have a good place to anchor [...]

The SO asked for a specific something for Christmas with the cavat that I couldn’t tell anyone what it was. Like that’s going to happen. I won’t tell anyone who knows him personal-like but telling the whole internet is obviously ok, right? Because it is relevant. I ordered P90X which is a crazy workout system [...]
