P90X - Round 2, Day 12 - Legs, back and ARX

Well, I plowed through this workout, not really feeling the intensity, but definitely feeling the burn! My reps/weight aren't showing much improvement with this workout (mostly in the 'legs' area). I think I'm unintentionally not getting the reps with the pull ups, due to the pinched nerve from last week! Gotta get over that!! ALSO, the biggest de-motivator tonight, was the fact that Alana worked a late shift tonight. So she wasn't here to give me that competition that I need to push myself during this workout...or well. Did my best. Forgetting the rest! Goodnight all...

The Voca People

OK. I just HAD to post this for you guys. My son, Adam, wanted me to see this. His music teacher showed it to the class today...very cool!

P90X - Round 2, Day 11 - Cardio X

Taking a break from Yoga (I know! Hard to believe, huh?)...we did the cardio X workout last night. I have to admit, I wasn't that all into the workout last night, then the Kenpo part of the workout kicked (pun intended!) in!! That brought me up to speed! The sweat started pouring then!! NICE! Turned out to be a great workout after all! All ya gotta do is "push play"!!

THEN (confession time!): I went with a friend of mine to see a late movie. He really has been having some troubles hit him, and just needed to get out, pray, talk....anyway, we went to see "Observe and Report". Very crude, rude, offensive...we laughed our arses off!! :O) AND...(here's another confession!), I ate an entire bag (small!) of popcorn WITH butter!! I know, I know...just no one tell Tony, OK?? :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!

P90X - Round 2, Day 8 - Chest, Back and ARX

With the boys continuing their assault on my neck (probably more in the hunt for some kind of reward, rather than out of love for their father), I think the healing is pretty much complete. I decided to rid my body of the Alieve that I've been taking all weekend, and sweat off some goo! Kind of. I did take it pretty easy during the workout. I was a bit afraid of what the pull ups would feel like. But all in all, it was a good workout. I feel much better, and think...no...know that I'll be more than ready to bring it tomorrow for Plyo! Been a long weekend, and I'm off to bed now...good night all!

Oh and by the way: Yes. I did in fact reward the boys for their hard work (literally) on my neck! I bought them both a gift tonight while they were at Awana's and gave it to them before bed. Along with my sincere appreciation for what they did for me.

OK. All together now: Awwwwwwww
:O)

P90X - Round 2, Day 7 - MORE Rest!

OK, OK! I get the hint!! I'll rest a bit more! Geeemeeney! I'll admit, it was probably the worst pinched nerve I've ever had, but I have to say, I think it also has healed faster than any other time that I've ever gotten these...could it be that I'm actually fit??...Adam and Noah, my 2 boys, have been absolute Angels in my healing process!! Both of the have rubbed my neck on many occasions these past couple of days (and do a pretty good job I might add!), since Alana has had to work all weekend! Hey...come on, if the wife's not here to take care of me, well...isn't that what kids are for?? :O)

So I decided to listen to everyone, and not push it. I took off another day for rest and healing. I basically read ALL day! For anyone who's interested, I started reading a book called This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti. WHAT a book!! It's has to do with Spiritual Warfare that goes on around us every day, and how powerful a weapon prayer can be. A truly gripping read...as evidenced by me basically not putting it down for 12 hours...or so.

Don't worry...even though I rested and basically did nothing, I still fed the kids. I think.
