P90X, Week 11, Day 3 (substituted with Brazil Butt Lift)

I can't believe I survived two back to back Brazil Butt workouts. I had intended to do Ab Ripper X and ONE Brazil Butt workout. Unbeknownst to me, however, the first workout (called "Bum Bum Rapido") is only 10 minutes long. So I decided to do the next workout after that one as well, which was about 30 minutes long. I do not think that these workouts were nearly as difficult as the Bum Bum workout; however, I was covered in sweat head to toe when I finished, and I felt the burn in all the right places.

Exciting news.... my friend just sold me a TV/VCR/DVD combo which my husband REALLY didn't want me to get, because it's one of those big bulky box TV's... but I'm so psyched, because about a month ago I cleaned out my VHS tapes and found a ton of workout tapes that I forgot I even had. I'm going to do some Vintage workouts in the near future. lol. My VCR has been broken for years (thanks, kids) and I still have the entire Buns of Steel set, unopened. I bought the set at Big Lots about 10 years ago for around 50 cents per tape. Even then they were outdated! I was telling another friend of mine about it, and she was jealous, because she used to own Buns of Steel and said it had been taken off the market because people kept falling during one particular move. Then she saw it being used on "The Biggest Loser", which is as we know, a popular modern day weight loss show. I bet it sounds silly that I'm excited over a VCR, huh... Well, in addition to the Buns of Steel, I have some other workout videos like pilates, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, among others.

Other exciting news... I got to go shopping again today. It's payday. I believe I have become a shopaholic. But it's SO FUN to buy smaller sizes and to try on clothes. When I look in the mirror, I still feel fat, but the clothes make me feel better once I put them on. Today I bought a cute orange'ish top and a long white hippie skirt. I can wear it to work and/or church and/or wherever.

Even more exciting news... My husband bought a new TV. It's a new chapter in our lives.. I remember the last time we purchased a family TV; It was right after Dylan was born, and it just kind of 'showed up' in my house. It was a 55 inch, Mitsubishi rear projection HDTV 1080. In other words, it was this humongous rectangular BOX with a speaker. I was NOT happy, because it was an expensive purchase and I was a stay at home mom, which means we had no money. He financed it, which made it even worse. I ended up paying the thing off with my short term disability check from work (I worked up until Dylan was born), and from then on I've referred to it as "MY" TV. Now we're tossing it aside. It's gotten old and none of the inputs work except for the digital cable, which means that you can't play video games or watch movies on it. It's also slow to start up sometimes. It's time :( So, we took our tax refund money and got a new TV. It's exciting, like having a new family member. I haven't had much time to check it out due to the above mentioned workouts, but it's a 3D Plasma Smart TV and it's like 100 inches or something... No, I'm exaggerating, but the thing is huge. I'm not even sure how many inches it is. I just asked my husband- it's 64 inches. He would know! It's like a giant computer... I mean, you can do anything on it. I just hope it lasts longer than the other TV did... Remember the olden days when the TVs lasted 20+ years?
With that being said, we are also getting our home alarm system updated. lol.
So, that's all the news... 2 new TVS... one super cool high tech one, and one super cool dinosaur age one, that I can watch Buns of Steel on. How ironic that seems.
