P90X - Round 2, Day 39 - Cardio X

I still can't believe how SORE I am after hitting chest/shoulders/triceps from the other night! WOW! It seems like all the moves in this cardio workout were just stretching me out. Growing the muscles. Felt GREAT! Alana was back working out with me last night, which DEFINITELY helps on the motivation/competition front! You know..."up's" the intensity BIG TIME!

Not to sound conceited or anything, but it is SOOOOO weird to be in this healthy lifestyle. For years I've eaten whatever I wanted, been pretty much IN-active (or when I tried physical activity, I would suck more air than a fish out of water!), and lifted weights, thinking I was healthy and exercising. WRONG. The P90X program has shown me what a true healthy lifestyle is. During this past long holiday weekend, I ate what I wanted (and drank what I wanted too!), did a little bit of activity, yet when I look in the mirror, none of it shows! AND I still feel great! I STRONGLY encourage everyone who hasn't given P90X a try, to do it! It WILL change your life!! :O)

P90X - Round 2, Day 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38- Camping...and Chest/Shoulders/Tris

So....Memorial Day weekend. Opening day for camping season! We headed out to Heaton Bay, which is located about an hour from where I live, in Frisco, CO. It's a great campground just on the bank of Lake Dillon Reservoir. The weather wasn't the greatest, as it would rain for 10 minutes. Stop for 20 minutes. Rain for 20 minutes. Stop for 10 minutes...this went on ALL weekend. We did see the sun for a grand total of about 22 minutes. I think we even shot a few pictures while the sun was out! We had fun fishing (didn't catch anything...but is that really what fishing is about anyway??). I came up with the bright idea to send all of the kids on a scavenger hunt. So we made a list of 14 items for the kids to go in search of. The idea was to have a little adult (i.e. quiet) time. Who knew a lady bug would be so easy to find!? And a coin?? We've got such resourceful kids! Here's a few of the pics....don't mind the "date stamp". Forgot to reset the camera after draining the battery...oops!


NOW...We're back in town. At home. No excuses. Ready to BRING IT! Tonight: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps and AbRipper X. Technically, we're in Phase 2, week 6, so I should have one of these workouts under my belt already. However, I don't think I've actually done this workout in a while! I LOVE it!! I was feeling soooo pumped after this workout I was gonna post some pictures. But then I saw Jeremy's 'back' picture. WOW dude. What results....Not to be outdone (and even more so, that no one is awake to take any pics right now), I shot some video of the plyo-push ups being done. This was taken sometime during round one of the "X". I didn't quite hit 14 of those puppies tonight, but I'll be there again soon!

P90X - Round 2, Day 31 - Back, Biceps and AbRipperX

WOW! What a difference a day makes!! Or is it the antibiotics?? Anyway....I hit this workout HARD tonight! I got caught up on reading all of the posts I've been neglecting (Jeremy, Christina, Demi, Rob and Barb, and MissResa!) and MAN was I ever motivated tonight! Weird thing though...I petered out during the AbRipper portion! Weird. It wasn't my abs that gave out, I just found it hard to breath...relax....I'm a Respiratory Therapist! I'm not gonna kill myself. I just decided it was time to stop. No harm, no foul. Right? After all...I'm technically still sick!

Anyway....here's the "money shot" post workout! I'm trying to be able to host my own show. What show you might ask??????

:O)

P90X - Round 2, Day 10 - Shoulders, Arms and ARX

I love this workout! My arms feel like lead weights afterwards, but my biceps and triceps feel like SOLID rocks! Alana wasn't feeling the best, but still did an awesome workout! Kudos to her!! In fact, when she plays around, punching me in the arms, it actually hurts a little now. Of course, when you hit a ROCK..... :O)

It's funny how while Alana and I are working out, one of the strong motivating factors, is our P90X Recovery Drink! If you haven't tried it yet, stop procrastinating. Get it! You won't regret it!
