Day 30- Cardio CHECK POINT

oh yeaaaaaaaaah! F*CK YOU DREYA ROLL! :) Woooohoo... I did two! No hands ma! :) The rest I did one handed. Oh yeah!
I'll admit that I skipped the yoga section today, it was all I could do to get my workout in. I joined right after yoga and then I tacked on a 10 min run after the end of the vid. I'm glad I did. Will update this post with measurements later. GREAT accomplishment today! :)

Here I go with measurements:
Since Day 1
  • Weight: NO CHANGE!!! Grrrrrr!
  • Chest: -0.5 "
  • Waist: Bellybutton -1.0"
  • smallest part of my waist -0.5"
  • Hips: -1.0"
  • Right Thigh: No change
  • Left Thigh: No change
  • Right Arm: No change (I'm ok with that- I don't want big guns)
  • Left Arm: No change (again, that's OK)

So there you go. I've lost a total of 3" overall and NO WEIGHT. Which is a little annoying but that's ok cause I'm stronger, still having fun and Dreya Rolls are gettin' DONE!

Day 25 & 26 Rest & CardioX

So yesterday I donated blood and was feeling kind of barfy from the loss of blood and all the sugary stuff I ate afterwards, so i took the day off. It was supposed to be XStretch so I don't feel too guilty. I saved 3 lives yesterday! I deserved the rest :)

Today was CardioX. This workout totally kicked my ass today for some reason. Maybe cause of donating yesterday but I could just not bring my HR down from the 180s. I did all the moves just slower and more methodical, but still, felt exhausted afterwards. But anyway... it's done :)

Another funny thing happened today... when I was in the gym, usually it's only me in the gym and this other guy will come in and overlap in my time there for about 15min... anyway, he came in today and started asking if I did martial arts (he's caught parts of the KenpoX/ Cardio X etc) !! OMG! :) LOL- I kind of laughed and said no, not seriously, then started telling him about P90X. He was pretty interested. He said that I was really fit already and that I always looked like I was intensely working out!! COOL! It was a real motivator somehow. I'm REALLY hard on myself when it comes to my weight / fitness and it's good to see yourself from someone elses' eyes sometimes. We really are our own worst critic. We should all try and be a little nicer to ourselves.

Yoga tomorrow boooooooooo!!!

Day 16 - CardioX

I think I like PlyoX better than this one. I haaaaaaaaate the yoga sequence. This is P90X it's supposed to be hardcore and extreme... I don't wanna do YOGA! AAAAAAAAAH! I suppose that's part of the mental challenge though right? SIGH! FINE! I'll do it, but I don't have to like it.
Other than that part it went well. I am for sure getting stronger, but I can't see the results yet. ya ya, not even a month... I'll try and be patient.
