steffapeppa40 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 9-2-09 moves Cardio X---EARLY ME! We just tried this instead of Yoga X. It is a shorter workout an it incorporates some yoga, plyo, and Kenpo. Good workout but after doing all of the other ones, I could have kept going a little bit. MAYBE going to do Yoga X tonight.

steffapeppa40 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 9-3-09 moves Ab Ripper--- did it first w/M. Made it all the way through Fiffer Scissors w/out a break in-between, YEAH Legs and Back---- Always glad to see that completed! Many of the exercises just require that you keep up and get to 25 and I've been doing that. I am adding weights and upping them slowly because it is really difficult to begin with. The pull-ups are another story. Even tho I've acquired some gorgeous callouses, I still had a lot of discomfort tonight. M suggests I move the chair out an inch next week to make it tougher and I'll have less reps. I guess I should? Walking around mall for a few rounds briskly….

steffapeppa40 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yes my weekend had a bit of "awe" in it..thanks! 9-7-09 moves Back to Plyo again today....I give it my all and my body is giving it back it me---in a good way. I have been slacking on the recording of my daily food intake! Trust me there have been no crazy blunders or benders or anything naughty 'cept for a fewtoo many red wine at my friend's Labour Day party Sunday night..... I woke up well-adjusted as I drank a lot of water and had an Emergen-C packet. I'll get back to typing MEALS all out tomorrow as tomorrow seems like a whole new week. Just looking back a few workouts---yesterday(Sunday) was the beginning on week 11 and the dreaded Back and Chest workout....oh man and I am soooore! I gave it more than my all then. All push-ups and pull ups. I focused on doing on more pushups without knee-assistance. The pull ups were all done with a chair as usual, but I pulled it away about another inchto make it a little more difficult. Completed Ab Ripper directly after and I felt pretty good about it...and had to hurry up and get to that party. Last Friday was Kenpo and all went smoothly. Feeling a little better balanced in general. Working on my feet action too. Tomorrow is arm trifecta and we are doing it at night....right now they feel so very tired (well my shoulders do anyway) but we'll see how it goes in around 19 hours from now...

steffapeppa40 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Just wanted to add that I felt more confident at this party I attended last night...got some positive feedback too. I'm really starting to love the changes I'm making. Also, I"m going to be focusing on cutting out a bit more fat....just cooling it more with the olive oil, Earth Balance, Vegenaise and such. Those are a few of my favorite thiiiiiingsssss!M too. I have not really seen much of a difference on the scale since I had lost my initial 10 lbs. It even had gone up...but I haven't tried in a few weeks. I know I have much more muscle now but I also know I still have a way to go on the lower half.....

steffapeppa40 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 9-8-08 moves Bike ride to the farm…wow-I really thought I was going to get rained on today but luckily it held off and it was really quite cool for riding and picking inthe fields. Really had a close one coming home around this bend….I almost don't want to think about it. Next time I'll remember to switch sides of the road. Back and Arms--- ARGH! I'm on fiiiire! I do like this one. I pretty much kept to the same weights and reps as last time(2 weeks ago)as back then I had upped it a lot from the prior workout. I improved by a hair I'd say on a few reps but that's it. I won't be doing this particular workout until I start the whole 90-day thing again.

steffapeppa40 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 9-9-09 moves ab ripper--- bowed out of it yesterday in favor or today. It's all good. Well, better anyway. Yoga X--- doing it solo. Procrastinating… done. "Bout the same as 3 weeks ago I'd say.

steffapeppa40 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 9-10-09 moves Legs and Back---did it solo and faired quite well. 80/20 speed squats near the end are still a killer, but I was able to keep up and get "airborne" as suggested during the last 15 seconds of each set. One legged wall squats are still murder. Improved on a few chin ups and pull ups too….even with the chair pulled out a pinch.

Oh, Ab Ripper, I hate you….but I love you….but I hate you much more. ---besides my 3 1/2 hour housework job, I didn't get to do Kenpo at night. Did not get home until 10:00 and I went to bedat 11:15 which is really unheard of in my world! M was feeling like he was catching something but I feel alright.

steffapeppa40 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 9-12-09 moves Kenpo---I have to say I enjoyed doing this solo. I felt so good I could've kept going 80's Dancing!----any witness will tell you I hardly ever stop (one must sip liquids you know). Almost 3 hours straight. Who knows-maybe I lost another pound despite my diet! I can safely say, since starting this program, I have lost 12 pounds now. I was on 10 and hovering around that number for a while but for the last few days I have checked seen a loss of 12 pounds. I would like to see myself dive into the 120's but we'll see….those muscles are building too...

steffapeppa40 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 moves Chest Shoulders and Triceps--- ugh this seemed extra hard today….maybe as I was out late using every bit of my energy last night and got 5 hours sleep? Well ,I mean I did everything the same or tiny bit better except for one exercise as my right elbow feels sore in certain positions. I had to break more.

I am startingto think about what to do upon completion. I am contemplating a fast before starting up again with a modified program. M won't beable to do a fast with his work schedule but I think I'd like to do it to get more focused on my eating....I'll have to think about it as the days creepcloser.

I was tempted to go extra bad but really, since I don't have anythingin the house extra bad...'cept maybe for some chocolate chips, I couldn't. I prob. would've been satisfied with more fruit but the cupboard is bare except for some applesI just bought this afternoon from the farm market. Holy, that was a super-enjoyable dinner!
