Day 12 P90X-Legs/Back & Ab Ripper X

Working on getting ready to take on Legs & Back and then Ab Ripper X...as of right now 8:30am...I have had breakfast and coffee.  I will start my workout in about 30 more minutes...then I will come back and edit this entry!  :)

Outside of this workout today I will be doing a short Yoga workout with Tony Horton...I believe Patience Hummingbird or Fountain of Youth...haven't made up my mind yet, but I know I need some Yoga today!

.....ok...I just finished Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X and Patience Hummingbird (Yoga)....Man I feel wiped!  Need to refuel!

I actually held weights for all of my leg work except the sneaky lunges...maybe next week!  :) I feel that I did great today....and I actually got the shaky leg doing wall squats!

Still concentrating on form with the Ab routine...feels good!

Yoga was nice...by the time I got to it, I was already sweating...so it just elevated the sweat level!

Now I have to rush to get ready and pick up my daughter...we have Girl Scout Booth Sales today!  Cookie time!

Nutrition for today was pretty good...I had my Shakeology before we arrived at the cookie sale...I packed my snacks and lunch items for the day and I didn't eat but 1 cookie!  :)
When I came home I had a NY Strip steak for dinner...just a steak and nothing else...I ate 4 more cookies afterwards....so I need to work those off in the morning!  :)

Day 11 P90X-Should have been Yoga X

Well yesterday would have been a Yoga X workout for me but instead I opted to hold off because I was participating in a local group workout event.  I didn't want to overdo it ya know!  Well the "workout" was more of an intro for beginners so I can't say I worked up a sweat and when I got home I had an appt with the roofing guy to get our new roof started.  Dinner happened and Yoga X got booted.  :(

My next blog entry will be for today's plans!  :) move on.....

Day 10 P90X-Shoulders, Arms & Ab Ripper X

I woke up this morning to the voice of a little boy...Oma...I don't wanna close my eyes...Oma...Open your eyes!  LOL  I am thankful that it was only a few minutes before my alarm sounded!  So I did get some sleep last night because the grandbaby didn't wake me up until almost wakeup time.  :)

Get up a little groggy...who isn't at 4am?....get myself gathered up and change into my workout clothes. (side note for me...need to invest in some new workout clothes...these are old and I only have shorts!)  I stumble into the kitchen all the while listening to the little boy trailing around beside me asking me for cookies!  LOL!  Oh how disappointed he was when I told him NO! ;)  Anywho...I made me a cup of coffee...put my Shoulders & Arms DVD into the player and logged onto www.wowy.com so I could track my workout.  This morning I also found it necessary to have a small serving of Apple Juice w/Van Whey mixed in....something told me I might need some fuel for the workout.  Not sure what that something was but I listened and I have to say...I blew my workout out of the water!  I was hitting each set with great form and a little heavier weights than last week!  I didn't take long breaks either...I was way ahead of Tony and the gang by the end!  :)

Ab Ripper X is still something I focus hard on.  I really watch my form and do as many as I can within the time limits given.  Sometimes I hit the 25 and sometimes I don't.  Since I have better form on this workout I am noticing a tighter mid section!  Can you feel it!?  Yes I can!
