Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or bothered by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

P90X, Week 2, Day 3

Oh my garsh! I thought I was going to die today! Today's workout kicked my butt. It was shoulders & arms again, and Ab Ripper X. I think I waited until way too late in the day to complete the DVDs, and I had also taken an hour of yoga this morning, as well as helped haul brush (in our woods) this afternoon. By about 7 PM, I was on the couch determined to take a nap and thinking I'd probably skip my P90X workout. But after a little rest, I willed myself to get up and do it. I did great with shoulders & arms, but I was grunting through most of Ab Ripper X, and I could feel certain exercises like reallllly deep down in my abdominal muscles. I'll be sore tomorrow! I'm just glad I got through it. I think I will try to get my workouts done first thing in the morning, as much as I possibly can. I notice I do much better BEFORE eating anything, and then I get to have a protein shake afterwards, which feels so refreshing and rejuvenating going down.

That's about all I have to say about today- the workout that almost didn't happen. I was happy that my favorite yoga instructor was back in town today. I was disappointed that our 75 minute class was cut short (to 60 minutes) due to a belly dancing class that came in afterwards. (No, I've never tried belly dancing). I didn't get the euphoric high that I sometimes get after practicing yoga, but it did leave me feeling very relaxed and energized.

My weight is still fluctuating up and down about 3 lbs, which is frustrating, but I see where my belly and my butt/thighs are tightening up some. The cellulite is slowly fading away :P    TOO MUCH INFORMATION?
