P90X - Classic - Char's Day 19

Yeah I'm a little late with my post this morning...

It's been a busy day already... lol

Legs and Back wasn't so bad today. Still getting the slight nausea but no where as bad as it was when I first began this program.

I brought it a little harder this week so I am very proud of that...

and in the famous words of Tony Horton... That recovery drink is MONEY!!!!!

I usually put a bottle of water in the freezer right before I begin my workout and then pour that icy goodness in my water bottle, add the recovery drink mix, and then shake it till I get a good froth on the top... Yummy!

I thinking of these last three weeks as an opportunity for me to see what my body can do... getting a feel for P90X and my abilities within it.

Things I know...
  1. I feel stronger,
  2. My lung capacity had increased,
  3. I feel better about myself.

What better reason than that do I need to keep pressing play?

Well I have a couple of clients that are looking to me for advice, guidance, and clarification. That will help me to bring it hard every time I press play!

Have an awesome Thursday. Today is the last day that I will walk this earth as a 33 year old woman. Tomorrow is my birthday!!!!!!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 10

Whew!!!! Whew!!! Whew!!!

I woke up this morning with a killer headache around midnight... You ever get one of those? I can honestly say that I haven't had a significant headache since I began P90X so it was a surprise when I woke up feeling like a mule had just kicked the hell outta my right temple.

I managed to get back to sleep and woke up at 5:20 to prepare for Shoulder's & Arms...

This workout isn't awful by any means. There are two parts that I really struggled with last week and struggled with this week as well but I was able to complete more reps and add the 15lb resistance bands to... So I know I'm getting stronger....

I still haven't touched Ab Ripper X... I know that will kill me for sure when I add it next week.

Great seeing you all in WOWY (ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, FarmerTed). It really makes me smile.

Keep Pressing Play... Even when there's a mule in the room... lol

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 9

Plyo is still the devil...

But this morning I went down there with my grillin' fork to fight 'em off!!!!

I still giggled when Tony cussed... That was the highlight of my workout..

Oh that.... and the fact that your girl made it *almost* to the end of her workout without feeling like the Plyo minions had stolen all of the oxygen out of my living room!

So while I still had 14 minutes to go... there were two things that I took note of...

  1. I did twenty minutes more than I did last week
  2. I only felt like nauseous at the 40 minute mark!
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo You know what that means... There is hope for this Fluffy Chic... Who won't be so fluffy for that much longer!

Keep Pressing Play Folx! It works.... If YOU work!

*You know how those twelve step programs have, well, 12 steps?

Well each of those P90X videos represents a step for me!!!!! You think its a coincidence that there are 12 videos? I think not.... P90X is therpeutic for me!

I know I won't be bikini ready in 90 days but my life has already been transformed in just 9!!!

Be Blessed and Have a Fabulous Monday!

(Great workout this morning in WOWY hhardy, ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, and FarmerTed).
