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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steffapeppa40 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 7-27-09 moves Made up for the Yoga X tonight as the electricity was back on. I had THE WORST attitudebecause I felt hungry and I knew I wouldn't be able to eat a nice meal after the workoutas it was already 7:45 when we went out to the studio to start. I didn't feel ready or into it and I wassuper 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.

MaryStella Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 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 timeI am feeling a tad deprived and so coffee is a little vice I allow myself tohave. The alcohol---ya, I had that wine the end of the day and made sure I had a tall glass of waterfor each glass of wine...but I still ended up with a headache as I prob. depleted some mineralsand such. I was fine by my 6:30 am workout today tho w/some Emergen-C--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steffapeppa40 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 8-1-09 moves well I completely ran out of time to do AB RIPPER routine yesterday: the thunderstorms delayed my departure from my work thenI 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 leftleg is bothering me and the bulk of this workout has to do with squatting and jumping. UGH. Felt good to get that done!

I prob. got it from lunch during our show break and it lasted untilI 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.

steffapeppa40 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 8-4-09 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 fewlike 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 challengewithout any air conditioning or windows! Thank you mr. fan, but I wish you were stronger.
