I did in fact do that second workout on Day 47.

My advice to you - do not do two P90X workouts on the same day.  By the time I was finishing up Ab Ripper X - I was toast.

So I did two workouts so that I would be back on schedule and do Kenpo X on Day 48...

Day 48 - exhausted - didn't do anything because of it.

Day 49 - should be x stretch or rest - made up Kenpo X.

So - this week, just going to stick to the schedule.  Tony is smart - I am going to listen.

Tony is smart - I am going to listen.

Tony is smart - I am going to listen.

You get the point.

Wow -  long time no blog

33 was Legs and Back with Ab Ripper X (with husband)

34 was Kenpo X (with husband)

35 was rest

36 was core synergistics (with husband)

37 was cardio x

38 was chest, shoulders & triceps (with husband) this is a tough workout.  I struggle with some of the moves, esp weighted circles - but I make it somehow.  (just don't ask how much my weight is)

39 - Yoga X - with my husband after in-laws and daughter were off to bed

40 - Legs and Back with Ab Ripper X (quickly becoming one of my favorite)

41 should have been Kenpo, but rested and did Kenpo on day 42

42 should be rest but did Kenpo that I didn't do on day 41

43 - Core Synergistics

44 - Cardio X (but instead I ran for 45 minutes)

45 - Chest, shoulders and triceps with ab ripper x - again tough, but husband participation makes it a lot easier

46 - should have been yoga - instead was very lazy and did nothin

47 - so far - yoga x and plan to do legs and back with ab ripper x tonight - we will see.

Day 28 was a rest or X-Stretch day.  I rested.

Day 29 - and the first day of PHASE 2 was Core Synergistics.  I like this workout.  It works a lot of different areas and I am becoming so familiar with it that it flies by.

Day 30 - Cardio X - gets the job done.  I start sweating during the yoga warm up and it keeps going.  I think I finally kept up with the correct pace on steam engine this go around.

Day 31 - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps - I have to admit - it doing push-ups on your knees is an option (and it is for the majority) - then I am on my knees.  That is right - Tony Horton has me on my knees.  But - I am not complaining - it is an area that I can see that I have a lot of room to improve on.  This is a workout that you do not do in Phase 1, so it was challenging for me.  I am writing this the day after this workout - and I have been feeling the muscles that I used all day, so I know I worked them out, even if I was on my knees.

Day 32 - Today was Yoga X. I had been using a squishy workout pad for yoga and so I finally went out and bought a proper yoga mat.  I slipped and slided all over that thing.  I thought it would give me lots o traction - it didn't.  What the heck is going on?  Can I get my money back?

Regardless of my disappointing yoga mat experience, this was a good workout.  I really did all of the upward dogs today instead of cobra.  It wasn't that big of a change, I don't know why it took me so long to get my knees off the mat.

Well, that is it for the update.  Tomorrow is good ole' legs and back.  My husband says he can see a difference in my back already.  That makes me want to get out there and bring it.  I love to see changes.  I haven't lost a lot of my troublesome mid-section, but I can see muscle definition all over that certainly was not present before.  Changes are coming... I am so excited.

Peace!

Day 26 was Cardio X.  This is the easiest workout for me.  It is not that it isn't physically challenging, it is that it is becoming routine.  The yoga gets me warmed up and I am sweating profusely by the time I get to steam engine.  

Day 27 was Yoga X.  Yoga is tough, I can't do all of the push-ups, but I am able to do all of the exercises.  (I do stick with the wheel - I can get into bridge, but I can't really hold it for a long time).  It is a good workout.  I know that I have worked when I am done with it.

Tomorrow ends phase one - onto Phase 2....

Sorry for my absence - life has gotten crazy the last week or so.

My husband left to Haiti to help with the relief efforts and my daughter has been sick.  It is amazing how much you want to do to help your kids feel better.

I have been moving my workout time to after she goes to sleep so that I can spend all day with her.

Day 19 was Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X.  Is it me or is it easier to do ab ripper X first?  I may be nuts but I do the abs first. 

Day 20 was Kenpo - I like Kenpo - it goes by fast and if you have intensity, you know you get a good workout.  It is easy to lose track of time and I like that in a workout.

Day 21 - Rest or X Stretch - Rest - I thought about stretching all day, but it just didn't materialize.

Day 22 - Yoga X - this is the first time that I did Yoga X at night and it turned out alright.  It turns out that the fetal position was really comfortable and I found it again soon after the end of the tape.  I am getting a little better balance in the balance poses.

Day 23 - Core Synergistics - I used to kind of dread it, but it is so familiar now that it flies by.

Day 24 - Kenpo X - see day 20 - workout flies by.  I tried extra hard to really concentrate on good form and to have intensity.

Day 25 - Rest or X stretch - I did X stretch tonight while I was waiting for the husband call and after I put the daughter to bed.  Husband is doing well.  Daughter is sleeping.  I am well stretched.
