You know how Tony says "Ab Ripper X...I hate it but I love it" before the Ab Ripper X workout? Well, that's kind of how I feel about Core Synergistics. It's the workout that I don't want to do before I start, but I'm thrilled I did it afterwards. If I was still having the same issues with push ups that I had when I started, then I wouldn't like it as much.
Big day today! Not only do I have the 90+ minute yoga workout, but we have Avery's dance recital and Prom today. Avery is also supposed to have a soccer game, but the dance recital is probably going to take priority. Also, I'm working post-prom tonight, so I'll be at the high school from 11:45 until about 4am. Hoo-rah! Good thing I only have X Stretch tomorrow! :)
Oh yeah...Kansas City beat Minnesota 7-5 yesterday for their third victory in a row! Oh yeah!!!

Day 53: X Stretch
Nice easy stretch workout tonight. Had to do some of the workout on the laptop so I could have the TV on the NFL Draft. (enter your favorite sports geek joke here). The only stretch I can't completely do is Camel. I can get one hand on my heel but not both. Other than that, I can do them all....even Back Hero...all the way down!
I don't know if I mentioned this dish yet, but we've been occasionally having some turkey pepperoni and mushroom pizzas...had one for dinner tonight! We take whole wheat tortilla shells (they are not round, but almost oval) and put a little EVOO on them and bake them at 350 for 7 minutes. Then we take them out, and place pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni, mushrooms and reduced-fat mozzarella cheese on it and bake it again at 350 for another 7 minutes. They are very good!
Back to Core Synergistics tomorrow. I may try to do it after work..around 4:00...because we have an intra-squad scrimmage until 8 and I'd rather not do that workout at like 9:00..even on a Friday. We'll see how the day goes.
Oh! And the Royals won again!! 2 in a row! That's a winning streak!
I'm pooped. Bed time! :)

Day 52: Kenpo X
ROYALS WIN!!! ROYALS WIN!!!
Ok, wanted to get that off my chest first! :) If you don't follow baseball (shame on you!), my favorite team, the Kansas City Royals, snapped a 12-game losing streak tonight by winning in Cleveland 8-2. What a relief! Time for a winning streak!
Ok, now on to P90X. I'm feeling great today, because I had at least three people tell me they can really tell I've lost weight! I knew I had because the scale told me so...and I'd seen a few things in the mirror but apparently it's getting obvious now. How exhilarating it feels to hear those things. It really makes all of the sore muscles and late nights and sweat all seem worth it that much more.
Did Kenpo tonight...can't say too much about it. It's an easy and fun workout that makes you sweat a lot! I did notice one thing tonight. When I went to do the pigeon (is it pigeon? or some other bird?) stretch where you have to bend your leg under your torso and then stretch over it, I couldn't bend my left foot under at all. Right leg, no problem. Also, whenever I do side and back kicks with my left foot, they aren't nearly as good and crisp as the right leg. Same thing with glute stretch...it's much harder to do when I cross with the left leg. Apparently it's not as flexible or something, but this "bird" stretch really opened my eyes to it.
Oh well, on I go. X Stretch tomorrow.
