I think I over did it in the gym yesterday! My hamstrings, glutes and quadraceps are so sore. I feel like someone punched me in the legs over and over a million times! Why do lunges and squats hurt so badly? It’s crazy!  I think what I did wrong was not stretching before I started and after I stopped.  I am learning that stretching is very important! Ohhhh my! 

I also did 30 minutes of AB work, some weight training with, 3 sets of 12 reps @ 15 lbs shoulder press,  bicep curls, 21’s with a bar bell and some other arm positions. ( I really have to start writing this stuff down).  From there I did 1 hour on the treadmil going 2.7 to 3.0. Not much because my legs hurt too bad. I guess you would say that was a very light workout. 

I woke up not feeling too sore in the upper body. Medium soreness in my Abs and my legs on fire!  Tonight I was thinking about using as my rest day. What do you do when your legs are too sore to even walk correctly, let alone sit on the toilet. Uggggg!

Back in the gym. Bringin it hard.

Today I did 60 minutes on the ski machine.

Weights: 30 minutes

Lower body- tons of lunges and squats.

Feeling good! Ready to kick the new year in the arce!

Week 2

Core synergystics DONE!

Doing fine. Getting FINE….. Trying to get stronger.

More to come…….

I’ve been doing my P90X again! WHOOO HOOO (feble voice)!! Let me tell you the story of my P90X journey. I’ve been trying and trying to get through the whole 90 days and have failed miserably each time! Well enough is enoughh!!! I am going to get through the whole 90 days or ELSE! These DVD’s have been in my possession since 07′ some time. When I first started it worked very well. I started to really look good in my clothes. I was so proud of myself! Then life got in the way and I slacked off on my workouts until I wasn’t doing them at all! I know the program works and I REALLY believe in it wholeheartedly. I guess what my problem is IS time. Enough of my excuses. The workouts are no longer than 1 hour long. I CAN do this. If I put it in my mind I WILL do this!
So far this is DAY 3/ WEEK1.
Tonight I have Shoulders and Arms. I am going to follow it up with 6 minute abs to boot! I really want to see this body change. I am willing to do anything to see it happen!
So that is my update!
More to come…..

When I last left off I went to the gym and did Legs I think that was on…Tuesday. On Wednesday, I tried to go to the gym again but was informed that my gym bill was due so I went home to do my workout instead.
I mixed it up with a Cathe Friedrich workout. That woman is like the female version of Tony Horton. She is definatly the WO-MAN! She never lets up on her workouts. I did upper body pyramids. Ohhhhhh… I feeling it! That was two days ago. I used all of my weights from heaviest to lightest. I like doing the routine. Once I can say exactly how many reps and sets I did cause you do something like 8 reps with your heaviest, 10 with medium heaviest and 12 with your lighest with basicly no rest in between. It is a mother of a workout. I LOVE IT! My bicep bellies are crying from all of the bicep curls and hammer curls I did. I did a couple of curls with my 15’s ! I think that is the heaviest I have curled.
That Cathe is relentless when it comes to workouts!
Yesterday was an active rest day. I did a Hip Hop dance routine. It was so much fun. You do little dance steps and at the end you put them together to make one whole dance routine. Talk about fun. It doesn’t really feel like a workout until you are sweating you total ARCE off! That is my kind of workout.
FUN FUN FUN!
Tonight will be abs. Nothing crazy. I just want to feel my abdominal muscles tomorrow. If I can get my stomach muscles to hurt then I know I am on the right track. Yeahhhhhhh!

Today’s workout consisted of Pyramid sets. I did alot of hammer curls and bicep curls with some triceps thrown in. I went from 15 pounds at my highest down to 5 pounds being my lowest. I should be feeling my bicep belly tomorrow.

My thighs are feeling sore from the adductors, hamstring curls, and BUTT BLASTERS I did yesterday.  I went to the gym but was turned away cause I have to pay my gym bill. Sucks! I was ready to bring it in the gym for some cardio! Oh well, I guess I should press play with maybe some TURBO JAM or something HOT that will get my heart rate up!

Gotta get it TIGHT and SEXY!

Yesterday, was a crazy day for me.
I must tell ya’ll about it……

I went to the court house to get my sticker for my car. Waited in line for an hour or so and finally got it. I don’t know what I was thinking but I proceed to peel off my INSPECTION sticker….. Oh my gosh By the time I realized what I had dont I had ripped it to shreads!!!!! At the time I am thinking " oh well I will just go back to the place I got the inspection at and they will just give me another one. NOOOOOO! I had to spend another 40 bucks for another inspection!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! ARRRRRGH!
Anyway…. totally stupid day in my life!!!

Oh my did I really do it to myself yesterday! My goal was to stay on the treadmil for 60 minutes. I only lasted for 52 minutes before I started coughing like crazy! I didn’t want to leave but I got all embarrased that I was having a coughing fit! I always think people are looking at me all crazy like I have TB or something. Instead I just chalked it up to a job well done.  I really concentrated on squeezing my glute muscle as I walked the incline. I ran the incline all the way up to 12%. I kept the mph between 3.0 and 3.5. A couple of times I went to 4.0 but I kept getting cramps in my shins. I guess they are called "shin Splints". What evah … they hurt like hell!  now I am really feeling the pain deep in my buttocks. Right in the center of my cheeks! I want to keep doing that routine a few times a week. Hopefully it will get my but to POP like I want it!  I want a nice firm round butt. I don’t have one naturally so I have to CREATE one! HA, easier said than none!

Last night I cooked a stir fry. It was so yummy! I used a lot of fibrous veggies like red bell pepper, broccoli, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, green peppers. I made the sauce out of soy sauce and corn starch. On top I put the poached chicken and cooked it all together. I put all that on top of some basmati brown rice! Totally YUMMO!

Tonight I want to do some more cardio but I need to do some resistance work. The only problem is I am all SORE as HECK! All I want to do is cardio. I can’t bare to think about lifting something. Maybe I’ll go home and do my chest and back P90X video. All I know is I have to do something physical tonight after work! 

It is a must!
