thanks--- well I'd love to be a gym person (was at one short bright period of time), but can't do it right now....$ This will last me a while then I figure I can modify it more if I get bored.

 

And actually I don't really think Tony looks like Steve Carrel, but he certainly has a goofy sense of humor and a voice like Michael Scott. I realized it after 2 weeks--just closed my eyes and there he was!

procrastinated until I got home and to the bitter end---Plyometrics. Not for the weak of heart. Squatty and jumpy. Lots of it in an hour--had to pause a few times to catch my breath!

supposed to be yoga x and ab ripper x.

BUT there was a terrific storm and the electricity went out.

We did 10 minutes of the 90

minute routine and the backup battery for the computer went kaput! Too much juice.

We knew the ab ripper

routine and did it to the glowing light of the LED flashlight. Boy did I miss having a fan!

Made up for the Yoga X tonight as the electricity was back on. I had THE WORST attitude

because I felt hungry and I knew I wouldn't be able to eat a nice meal after the workout

as it was already 7:45 when we went out to the studio to start. I didn't feel ready or into it and I was

super grumpy.

I don't think it's very yoga-like to shout out expletives as I go into downward dog.

Despite that, I didn't do that bad! Just couldn't get out of that negative frame of mind.

 

Figured I could have something like miso soup to satisfy my craving for a meal at a late hour....it worked.

I'll have to do that more often.

moves

 

ab ripper --- improvement? a little...but then again, I am recommended by the program to do this routine

directly after the difficult Legs and Back as well as 2 other times during the week so I do have

an advantage going at it fresh.

 

sweaty housework inside and out

 

kenpo ---- our fave workout....did really well I thought despite the hot and humid weather. We completely fogged up the windows

out there! Feeling much more coordinated now.

 

Well, I feel pretty good I have to say--completed week 5 of this program....hot damn.

sounds good with the kenpo and the abs... make sure your getting enough water if your training in heat like that. also coffee and alcohol are really dehydrating so u need even more water than normal. it might make u feel better.

 

You are so right about the coffee and alcohol---they are very acidifying too.

I guess since I am not having my normal snacky treats all of the time

I am feeling a tad deprived and so coffee is a little vice I allow myself to

have.

 

The alcohol---ya, I had that wine the end of the day and made sure I had a tall glass of water

for each glass of wine...but I still ended up with a headache as I prob. depleted some minerals

and such. I was fine by my 6:30 am workout today tho w/some Emergen-C---

well I completely ran out of time to do AB RIPPER routine yesterday: the thunderstorms delayed my departure from my work then

I rushed home to get ready for company. I was going to do it today, but I will let it be. Not feeling perfect in my gut today.

 

PLYOMETRICS---the "mother"" of workouts. Waited for M to get home and we started at 9:15 ish---it was a toughie. My left

leg is bothering me and the bulk of this workout has to do with squatting and jumping. UGH. Felt good to get that done!

moves

 

I had 2 1 hr. puppet shows (1 hour each) which I can't believe I didn't mention it last week! Ya, so they are

physical and take a toll on my left side(especially my shoulder and wrist). It is fun performing tho!

 

I had an acid stomach, something that I hardly ever experience. I prob. got it from lunch during our show break and it lasted until

I went to bed. I didn't make the workout any easier.

 

yoga x ....Even tho it was late like last week and I hadn't had a proper meal, I had a better attitude going into it which made the

whole thing a little more palatable.

I still fail at certain things but all I can do is keep working at them...

that's a pretty decent yoga workout. I've done it several time. it s a challenge so feel good about getting it done.

 

thanks---I'll feel better when I don't look like I'm sloshed when I'm trying to do 1 pose after another on 1 foot...I'm going to try it next week without the really squooshy interlocking floor mat we have. There's more but I'll take any tiny victory I can get.

moves

 

Legs and Back--- my left leg still feels a little "off" but I'll see what happens.....

 

Not too bad...I was able to do everything I did last week except these 80-20 speed squats that they want you to get airborn...I only did a few

like that and I did less reps .....I improved more on the pull-up, chin-up stuff again. Once I get more callused on my hands, I'll be able to

do even more assisted. I know I have more in me, but my hands were killing me.

 

Ab Ripper waits until the next morning again. It was too late and there was too little air in the tight sauna-like studio. It really is an extra challenge

without any air conditioning or windows! Thank you mr. fan, but I wish you were stronger.
