Legs and Back---feeling really good about this one! I felt fine except for when I was stretching at the end as my wrist has felt a little out since yesterday with different movements….. Weird that I didn't feel it during 8 sets of pull-ups!

Again, I can't believe I did this 12 times already!!! Now I have to get busy and type out all of my results. I wish I knew of a good way/format to do so.

meals

1 apple
1 1/2 cups 7 grain cereal w/almond milk
2 cups org. black coffee
handful of raw walnuts
Luna Bar
brown basmati rice w/ pinto beans and veggies (burrito filling sans tortilla)
picked on a few herbs, cherry tomatoes, green beans, berries at farm
2 dates
(7:30 workout)packet of Emergen-C w/water
shake (soy protein, soy milk, spirolina, 4 lg. strawberries, 1 sm. banana)
2 stuffed manicotti (w/tofu ricotta), roasted eggplant and garlic scapes, 1 piece garlic bread on multi grain/seed baguette, big salad (arugula, broccoli, pepper, tomato,red cabbage, carrot, hemp seeds, agave mustard dressing, sea salt), and nooo big surprise: red wine
a few berries

Hmmm, a "tour"...that's one way to put it!
I see the light at the end and it's leading towards another modified tour...

Everything is looking great!


Mmm...those manicotti sound good!

i thought that was part of the program where you take a week off and then start another tour of it.

walking---about 45 minutes thru my 'hood.

Kenpo---yup. Gotta find some more DVD's like this. I really enjoy the movements. Feels really good afterwards too.

meals

1 banana, 2 dates, some blackberries and raspberries
1 1/2 cup 7 grain cereal w/soy milk
2 cups org. black coffee, 1 1/2 choc. chip cookies
big salad (flat leaf parsley, cherry tomatoes, celery, carrot, broccoli, green beans, raw sunflower seeds, agave mustard dressing, sea salt & pepper)
some Triscuit like crackers
1/2 lara bar, handful of grapes
(7:30 workout)
handful walnuts
some curried tempeh, some seitan beef and broccoli, brown rice, wheat berries, 2 tofu sushi roll pieces (from Whole Foods food bar)
1 carrot, 1 celery stick, some beet and green beans, red wine, a few multi grain chips

Well, you can certainly do that, but it isn't part of the program as stated in the given info booklet. We are definitely continuing in some
capacity; modifying workout here and there...but not as we did on the initial run.

I need to find some alternate Kenpo or related dvds....yoga....plyo too.

The reason I said about the week off is multiple people that I knpw that use that program do that so i thought it was part of the program. As far as yoga dvd's I like the shiva rea ones where you can create you own workout or do them as they are programmed. I have a few of those. I also like the Jivamukti ones that I have.

Thanks! I so know absolutely NOTHING about yoga. I figure I'll see what the libraries have too.

My husband doesn't want to take a week off I know that. I'd be good for a few days for sure but even tho it can be difficult to fit in at a decent hour... I don't want to break from the routine that I've established. It had been sorely missing from my life for sooooo long- gotta stay in da groove..... Whether I end up going for roller derby or not.

I'm going to check out p90x Plus too tho I heard it isn't quite as intense or have the same "fun" quality.

I'd never take the week off either. But rest days are important for recovery. A week is way too much in my opinion.
