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!

Cleanin' Out The Fridge

This weekend I started the process of purging my kitchen of the foods that I know are not a part of Michi's Ladder. It'll be interesting to see how I incorporate eating healthily into my crazy lifestyle. After talking with my wonderful coach Derek I am a little more at ease about my ability to grocery shop for meals that I would actually eat and prepare regularly. He sent me an easy to use list of allowable foods for the first phase of the P90X Nutrition Plan.

So I'm making my grocery list and meal planning this week and do my shopping this weekend.

Next Week... It's on! Oh yeah... ya girl is mad hyped!

Jumbled Mornings...

Oh how I love to wake up in the morning at 5:20 and workout with Tony & the Kids...

Oh how I love to shower, dress, and pack my bag for work...

Oh how I love to discover that while it is 7:05am when I put my mascara on and I'm a mere minute and a half from leaving my apartment... I am not actually supposed to be doing that because I don't have to leave my apartment until 9:00am!!!!!

It's Tuesday you forgetful ninny!!! You don't have to be to work until 10am!!!! I could have slept in another hour!

I was so eager to get up and get my workout done that I totallly forgot that today was my late day at work... hehehe

I guess there are worse things in life... lol

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).

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 8

Still Sore from Kenpo.... I must be doing something right.

So I got up this morning and Pressed Play...

This workout was much more intense since I added the BeachBody Push Up Stands and the B-Lines Resistance Bands.

Whew! I certainly feel the difference from doing Chest & Back with the bands & stands as opposed to using nothing last week. I can feel myself being able to "Bring It" a littlle bit more intensely than I did last week. I am focusing more on my form than on the number of reps... I figure once the form is right... the reps will come.

My goal is to become stronger, faster, and leaner... I know it will come. I am a work in progress... and as long as I take at least one step every day I have done something huge for myself.

This week my Resistance Bands Upgrade Kit should arrive. Then I can simulate the chin-ups/pull-ups more accurately. I won't be ordering the recovery drink until Thursday so I won't get that until next week.

Have a great Sunday folx.
