It is 10:18 pm and I just got home from work. I am absolutely exhausted and can't even imagine trying to work out right now... I have to be back to work by 8:30 tomorrow.
This whole week is messed up as far as the workouts go... but I get an extra day with having Monday off from work for Memorial day to fit an extra workout or two in... I should be able to get back on track after the BBQ's and everything this weekend.
After all that my favorite client didn't even come in today :o( But it was a good day nonetheless.
'Night!!!

Day 66 - Thoughts
As I sit here waiting for the realtor to call, I got to thinking.... I did not start this blog to show off, or to be proof of how big or tough I can be...and I am not by any means putting too much focus on this workout; in fact, my main focus right now is getting back to where I left off 4 years ago (mentally and financially)... After all, I am getting close to 30 and I never thought I would be in the living situation I am in at this point in my life (guess this is what happens when you constantly sacrifice for someone else for 3 years)... BUT, when I get a comment from someone saying I have no physical improvement from this workout and suggests that I try harder, it stings.
I always put 100% effort into things, because if you're going to do something you might as well do it right... For a split second after reading that comment, I thought..."Well, maybe I am wasting my time with this..." But no, I'm not.
People start P90X for different reasons; for me, it gives me a chance to clear my head every night and feel like I'm accomplishing something. Coming home after an 11 or 12 hour workday to work out for 90 minutes isn't easy, but I'm FINALLY putting myself first and doing something for me. I don't spend money on manicures or massages, I don't drink or do drugs to unwind - working out is my escape. I don't care that I don't look like some kind of body builder after 60 days.
And for the record, I DO feel an improvement... and the fact that I started with 3 lb weights and now I'm using 12's for the same exercises makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. I need that right now because even though I live in a house full of people who care about me I'm the loneliest I've ever been in my life and if I have Tony Horton to keep me company while motivating me every night and I can unwind and feel myself getting stronger that's what matters.

Day 65 - Taking Wednesday Night Off Is Becoming A Habit
It's just so easy to take the night off when I have the whole day off from work tomorrow to do whatever I want, which means two workouts. I hope that doesn't affect the results...
Work was draining today anyway... I started the day with lots of energy (maybe overdid it on the coffee.... it doesn't take more than a cup) and ended with pretty much falling asleep on the drive home 11 hours later. Corporate decided to make this upcoming Friday a huge sale day so when I wasn't running around working with clients face to face while encouraging them to swing in Friday for the sale, I was calling clients on the phone to tell them all about the sale. I pretty much lost my voice toward the end of the day and didn't even take a lunch, now that I think about it.... I should sleep well tonight :o)
I have an appointment with a Realtor to look at a house tomorrow morning, but after that I will do Plyo and Back & Biceps.

Day 62 - Kenpo X
Oooo Kenpo, how I love you.
I'm toying with the idea of going to the beach after Kenpo and bike...
I've been feeling nauseous off and on all day... A dose of Vitamin D may help, says Christine :o)
Let's hope so.
I think I'm nauseous because tomorrow is Monday.... ;o)
