Day 51 - Core Synergistics

I was up extra early today to get in my workout. Looking at my numbers... Huge improvements from last month. I'm really excited to see what my numbers will be on Chest & Shoulders next week! Call me a pushup machine.

Nikki has to work late tonight so I'll be by myself for dinner. I think I'll grill up some chicken.

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Day 50 - Yoga X

I looked at the book for a reminder of what order the recovery week's workout were. I'm glad I did this morning because I thought it was Core Synergistics today, but what a wonderful surprise - YOGA!!! I love yoga!

Cutting it short tonight because Idol is on... Ready for Core tomorrow morning!

Day 49 - Rest X (First day of new job)

A short entry for today. I'm planning on getting up early tomorrow to workout before work. I don't usually sleep too well when I start a new job anyway.

I think I'm really going to like working there, but there's a lot to learn.

Rest (core) week starts tomorrow!

Day 48 - Kenpo X

Oh man, I have MISSED working out in the morning! I love the way I feel after having worked out and now I get to feel this way all day!

I think I'm going to buy a CD travel case for the P90X dvds. I noticed this morning that they're a little scratched up, even though I'm really careful with taking them out/putting the back in the cardboard case they came in. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem...

Getting ready to start my new job tomorrow! Time to get grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, and some cooking (for lunches) done. Yes, I'm quite domesticated. :) Nikki says she got lucky to find a guy who can do it all. I think I'm the lucky one though...

Looking forward to starting recovery/core week!

Day 47 - Legs & Back, AR X

That is going to be my last night workout by choice. I am terrible at motivating myself after 5 PM. Nikki got me started tonight, and I pushed through it, but really didn't have my heart in it. Starting tomorrow, it's back to the morning schedule for me. :)

Our new neighbors have been pretty nice to live next to. Every now and then they decide to play their stereo (which happens to be located on the other side of our bedroom wall), but turn it off before it gets too late. I know they're not playing it loudly either, but I really dislike the "thump, thump" style of "music" they listen to. I never have understood the appeal of rap... Guess I'm officially old now! :)

Day 46 - Yoga X

Another day of yoga and another day of winding down, which was really needed. I couldn't focus completely (I've got to quit watching the news), but was able to get a really intense sweat going.

I've been kind of sore this week. It's nowhere near the level of soreness I've felt in the past, but it's definitely there. Guess that's proof of how hard I've been working!

On to Legs & Back tomorrow... I haven't said it lately, but we really appreciate all the support, Jeremy and Christina. Even though we don't have internet at the new place (and all of our blogging is done on a BlackBerry), your words are read every day and give us such encouragement to give our best everyday - both physically and spiritually. You guys are amazing!

Day 45 - Back & Biceps, AR X

Day 45 - halfway through the first round!!!

I know Nikki hates getting up early to exercise, but when I start my job next week, I'm going to have to get up early if I'm going to get my workout in for the day. I have banker's hours (9-6), but think I won't get home until closer to 7. At that point, if I try to fit in a workout first, I'd be eating at 9 PM... way too late for me to be eating. I've lost a considerable amount of weight, and I feel that part of it is because I don't eat anything for at least three hours prior to bedtime. (I'm down over 20 pounds since starting!) I'm guessing my early morning workouts will be solo, but we shall see...

As much as I really didn't want to restart this week, I'm glad we did. Our numbers are much better than they were last week, and I want to know that I gave my best every day when I look at my "after" pictures.

Ready for yoga tomorrow.
