Hello happy sunday everyone today i had eggs with tomato, spinach leafs, mushrooms, grated cheese, ham, and a coffee black. My morning went as follows I helped out with some housr chores, My son and I read a few books, played with his new hot wheels action set up, and we both played the Wii boxing and bowling ( that was to warm myslef up for throwing my punches for my workout today. My A.M. snack was a recovery drink, which came a the right time cause just cleaning your house is a pretty hard job dusting, vaccuming, cleaning counters, etc. So the P90X recovery drink came in handy today. For lunch I had Chicken, brocclli, noddles, tomato, peppers. I had a glass of milk to drink with lunch. After lunch I walked/ ran my golden retriever EMMA she needs to be walked / ran on a daily. She’s a golden she needs exercise, If I had it my way she would be doing the P90X program, but walking/ running her and throwing her her tennis ball will do just fine so she gets the exercise she needs as well. Today my good friend jerry came up to my house to blow apart Kenpo X with me. We both used weights today for all punches, blocks. He had velcrow hand wraps attached to his hands, I used 3 lbs weights for all my excercises. Today we both did great and we were bringing it to the max capacity. I did great with my punches, kicks, and blocks today. As I have said before it’s always great to have a workout buddy to work with you. Jerry and I did very well on kenpo today, adding the weights really was the topper for the day. When you add weights you up the ante. Today being my last kenpo of the P90X I had to bring out what I was made of and thats pure excellence. Remeber Just blow out the walls and bring it to the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jerry and I have done kenpo together before so It was a great way to get in a nice workout and just have some fun with my good friend!!! P90X every1 get it you will see for yourselves this program is great. My dinner tonight was turkey, squash, asperigus, and a sam adams winter lager. Curotesy of my wife she went to the store to get some stuff for tonights dinner and I asked her to pick me up some beverages…ice cold beverages, Well folks this is it for me//////I now go onto my recovery week So for me 6 days left till I round out my (90) days so for all of you out there from me Tom I brought it and I will finish 6 more till I will be a graduate!!!!!! P90X !!!! YEA BABY!!!!!
Jen: Last day of the “housewife title”. I must admit it is something I will miss. Let’s face it, mom is a person that can take the place of many things but is also someone that can never be replaced. My anal self will have to adjust to how my kids and husband do the things I used to do. I am grateful that they are all pitching in to make all of this possible for me. Just to clarify a litte…..I will be attending school for the next few months to get my CNA again (I let it lapse too long), but after that I will be enrolling in school for my LPN AND working AND being mommy. I truly believe we mothers are super hereos that just don’t have capes (maybe aprons instead?). So if I can achieve all this I know all of you other mommies can too. Sorry to sound a little preachy and silly, but it is important for everyone to know that you can and SHOULD go after what you want in life. Be it better health (in which case I recommend P90X), your career, your marriage, etc. Today was a great way to end the 5 year stay at home mom career. It was beautiful day out so I was able to brush and walk my dog. I got all my little duckies in a row as far as the house goes. And after dinner we took our kids to the school sponsered roller skating party. Let me tell you, and hour and a half of skating tires me out a lot faster than it used to at 13! It was a lot of fun though!!! After that we came home and tucked our very sore and tired children into bed and started our yoga…….as if my legs weren’t already screaming. It felt good to stretch out those sore calf muscles though. Downward dog really helped with that one. My balance was better this week than it was last week. I was falling over constantly it seemed last week. Maybe something to do with the cold I had? I am finally able to do the reaching under twisting pretzel pose (not the technical name but that’s what I call it). It is HARD and it HURTS the first few times. But now I can do it and not fall over or have my leg collapse from excess quivering LOL. I know I’ve said it before, but I truly enjoy doing this one. Such a relaxed time. The “OOOOMMMMMSSSSSSS” at the end still crack me and the kids up, but laughter is a good release too right? Tomorrow is legs and back. We’ll see how that goes after 8 hours on my feet LOL!
Tom: HI Breakfast today was a protein shake banana, berries, milk, protein powder, and ice!!!! tasty !!!! My A.M. snack was a RECOVERY DRINK!!!! hints hits the spot everytime you should try 1. My lunch was a turkey breast sandwich with spainach leafs, salad, mustard, tomato, whole wheat bread. Work today was alright I completed the PT cruiser guess what it ran fine and doesn’t overheat anymore. Thank me for doing a super job!!! Did a few Pre Inspections to a couple of new car . I also completed a few used cars I had lined up so that was good to make hours today. For dinner I had a glass of milk, salmon, asperguas, and wild brown rice. I dashed the top of the fish with BBQ suace to give it some flavor cause I still have issues eating fish straight. Yoga X tonight was good but long one hour and a half is alot to do, but it needs to be done. I payed extra attention on keeping my body parts a straight as possible. Yoga for me is improving I am really putting my form to the test. Fighting very hard to keep very clean posture during the holds. Streching is getting real good. I’m very focused when it comes to yoga x I have been getting in the zone. I like doing yoga its even good for the men to get out there and try it out with getting into the P90X program you will all need to cause yoga is one of the base excercises for form without form you aren’t giving it your all. My family and I also went to the School roller skating party so that was fun to. The kids had a blast even I skated tonight, I was doing the backwards skating to, with some heal to heal roundabouts while going around the corners. I had a few near close falls, I almost took some people out but only I fell. It was a good night for my family we had fun, and I did my workout to the extreme!!! See you friday
Hi every1 my breakfast this morning was a glass of orange juice and a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter. Nice breakfast*** plus i had my coffie. Work today was fast I had to work all over the shop today, cause there were vehicles down all over the shop making it hard to just work out of my bay. My snack was my P90X recovery drink, and for lunch my wife and I went to Panera bread. I had a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread, a cup of soup, and a diet coke. I havent had a soda in weeks, but it was nice to tip 1 back. For dinner we had chicken with stuffing and collard greens. After dinner my family and I watched Speed Racer and had some popcorn. Onto the workout (Core Synergistics) was actually hard for me tonight. I took my time with this one cause I am new, this was my first time doing this excercise. I used 10 lbs weights for tonights workout when needed thoughout the excercises. They worked out very well for me and it was just enough weight to feel a nice burn. The banana to supermans were hard for me to keep my body to keep switching back and forth. I did well on the lunge, back wieght, straighten, curl, press, then back down. that was a real workout i was felling it in my body after I got done with that one. The run in place while you bring the weights in and out were also left a burning feeling in my arms. How about the pushups when you bring in both knees, pushup again, stand back up, and then keep going for the next set . I know all of you can feel that one. The workout left me drained but as this is my first time I did my best and will move forward… Later everyone !!!
