Day 61 - Legs and Back & Ab Ripper X

What a surprisingly great day at work...  I needed it. 

I added a playlist over to the right of my blogger page... exciting, no?  Feel free to listen while browsing through my accounts of self-inflicted pain.

I picked up some whey protein shake mix the other day;  Now all I need is a small blender so I can make smoothies.  What I really want is a blender bottle (with the blender ball) but I'm not sure where to find them other than online...
Oh well.... A fork works for now  :o)
My goal is to drink a whey protein shake before each workout involving muscles and some sort of "food" protein (like eggs or cottage cheese) to see if I can build quicker.

I'm still not feeling 100% after being sick the other day....  Looking forward to doing nothing other than curling up on the couch for the next day and a half!!

(I had been doing mason twist with 5 lb weights..... I tried it with 12's today and think I may continue with the 12's to FEEL THE BURN!  teehee)

Day 60 - Pictures and Stats

Measurements - 5/19/10
Waist  25½
Hips  37¾
Thighs  20¾
Arm  9½  (10½ while flexed)

Weight: 128

BMI:  19.4

I don't see too much of a difference;  the biggest improvement is definitely my booty... 

I guess I look more "compact" than I did at day one... definitely a little thinner which surprises me, actually.  I thought for sure my legs were going to look like Pam the blam's after all those weighted lunges...
However, I'm extremely happy with the results so far.

60 days - DONE.

I am celebrating with brownies :-)

(After all, I deserve *something* after bearing my body for all to see!)

Day 59 - Best Dream Ever

Last night I had a dream that I could do pull ups.  :-)  Thank you, Theraflu... for such an awesome dream.

I am going to drink some more coffee and attempt to do Plyometrics because my cold is still in the beginning stages... I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse but I'm going to fit Plyo in now in case it does.

.... All this while being sick.  I'm pretty damn proud of myself...

I'm actually feeling a little better.  I hope I don't get any sicker because tomorrow is Yoga; and we all know how much I LOVE Yoga (sarcasm).

Day 58 - No Plyo, Just Me and My Theraflu

I managed to avoid getting sick this entire year; until now.  I was feeling extremely tired the past couple days, and this morning I woke up with a sore throat and body chills.  I am sipping on some Theraflu waiting for Modern Family (in the Snuggie of course) hoping to feel better tomorrow.  No work tomorrow so it will be a good day to veg out.

Day 57 - Owwie

Apparently not doing Chest and Back for a month makes it feel like the first time again...  My arms are puffy again which I love and I KNOW I will be hurting tomorrow.
I did so many more reps of everything this time around than I left off with doing in week 3; and my push ups were real this time around since I started doing "real" ones on week 5.  Exciting, right?!
Ab Ripper is much easier now, too, I'm noticing...
SO excited to do Plyometrics tomorrow night.
I know... I'm crazy.  :-p  But really, this workout is a great stress release each day and I am to the point where I look forward to it each night.

Day 56 - Rest!!!

12 hour workdays are draining, you know... Glad to be home :-)

Chest and Back & Ab Ripper tomorrow... Bring it!!

Day 55 - Loving This Weather

 I need to invest in some longer shorts :-/  An hour of biking can be conducive to inner thigh rashes...

67 Minutes Bike
Max: 176
Avg: 146
Calories Burned: 563

It is HOT out!  And I'm loving every second of it.  I'm going to try running for the first time in months... It should be interesting to see if there is any difference after this P90X journey.  (I hate running!)


12:30 pm Update -

10 Minute Run
Max HR:  181
Avg HR:  158
Calories Burned: 93

That was really tough.  I shouldn't have gone running when it is so hot out, but if I don't do it now I'm definitely not going to want to after I shower and cuddle up in my Snuggie on the couch  (which is going to happen right after Yoga)

While running I felt as if I were not even moving...  I will never again ride my bike *then* go running afterward, haha - the harder I pushed the shorter my legs felt.

It feels good to push this hard; and actually want to push this hard.  I've definitely been having my "off" days...  This has been a good weekend.  Hopefully I can keep pushing as hard in week 9.
