P90X - Classic - Char's Day 18

Curses, Curses, Curses....

***CHARPOWERFITNESS MINI CONFESSIONAL***

My eyes opened at 5:20AM.... Alarm blaring in the next room...

I looked over to my right to see if that mule that was there a couple of weeks ago had passed out from the exhaustion that he must be experiencing from kicking me in the head. He couldn't be found.

I got out of the bed... trudged to the bathroom to find the alarm clock

and... And... AND...

I PRESSED THE SNOOZE BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!

*GASP*

Got right back in my bed (then I got right out of it three minutes later out of guilt)

Popped Yoga X in and... PRESSED PLAY.

Where is a Topamax when ya need one!

I only made it to the 30 minute mark before my head felt like it was going to explode and I was gonna hurl.

Since I knew that it would look like a massacre in my apartment that I did not want to experience the joy of cleaning my carpet as a result of going forward.. I stretched my way right outta there.

Eventhough I didn't get as far as I did last week. i feel good about pressing through and getting in my 30 minutes.

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 11

You know... it's a good thing that I feel a sense of accomplishment with the other videos because I think Yoga is gonna be the death of me... lol Why in the heck do my elbows and knees ache?

No seriously... Don't get me wrong I still despise Plyo like it stole my darn Milk Money back in grammar school. But Yoga... is difficult... for me. There are two very apparent problems.... Well besides my tendons massaging my Central Nervous System...

1. I have VERY poor balance which I'm sure has a lot to do with my body make up
2. This one I hate to admit. My belly gets in the way and after all that compression from the vinyasa and chattarunga I feel severely nauseous after 40 minutes.
   

The first issue will take care of itself with these workouts... The more I do it the better I will get. The second one will take care of itself by a couple of means... After talking with my coach Derek yesterday I now hear him in my head saying... "Don't be afraid of Ab Ripper X... Attack it!" The nutrition plan that I am going to implement on Sunday, May 4, 2008 and the addition of Ab Ripper X will begin to tackle my belly bulge.

I am determined to conquer P90X. It's gonna happen... I feel the difference every day! As all of these things come together and I press through. I will see improvements with this and all of my workouts.

Great seeing you guys (hhardy, ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, FarmerTed)in WOWY this morning.

Keep Pressing Play... Even When Your Belly Is In The Way!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 4

If Plyo is the devil... Yoga X is certainly one of it's minions.

Up until I "met" Tony via P90X... I considered myself pretty flexible. I even own a couple of Yoga/Pilates videos. I knew that I have some balance issues and anticipated being a bit "wobbly". I guess when I think about it... It has been a while since I've done any significant Yoga or Pilates.

I made it through half of the Yoga X. It's a 90 minute set... I made it to 45 minutes. Not because I was tired but mainly due to the fact that my balance/posture won't allow me to do some of the moves that are being done... Today... Trust me when I tell you that I WILL get though this video eventually. As my strength and coordination builds.... and my belly and/or boobs (get in the way of most of the poses) begin to tone.... I will be waiting for Tony at the finishline.... Telling him to "Get It Up!" and take a water break if he needs it... hahahahahaha

Y'all hear me talking smack???

My journey is going to take me a lot longer than 90 days. It took me way more than 90 days to abuse my body until it got to this point... It would be insane for me to think that it would be a cake-walk to reverse the affects of poor diet and sporadic exercise.

Like I said before... this is a lifestyle change... and I'm on my way...

KEEP PUSHING PLAY....
