Not much to say lately.....

I'm still here, still doing P90X and still trying to keep a running base until I start marathon training in January! Yikes. That's not that far away!

I went to the chiropractor yesterday for my neck that's been sore for 2 weeks, and I also found out what is wrong with my elbows...it's tendinitis. I'm glad it's not arthritis! He feels that he can fix me up in a couple of weeks. He said it's probably due to increasing my weights for bicep curls, etc.

Did the dreaded P90X Ploymetrics this morning.

Picture Day......

Awww, my baby looks just like his Daddy! I swear he is his little clone. He picked out his outfit by himself.


I didn't sleep well last night because of my fuck-up at work yesterday. Hopefully I won't get fired today!

I did P90X Back, Biceps and Ab Ripper this morning. I didn't wear my HRM so I have no clue how many calories I burned. I guess I'm over the novelty of the HRM! And I pretty much know I only burn about 200 calories when I do strength training.

Caught in the Act.....

Argh! How am I going to explain to my 5 year old that his shark that he just won the other day at Idlewild is now eyeless?

I could not get my ass out of bed this morning to do Plyometrics. My pecs and tri's are screaming from yesterday's workout. So now I am forced to run 3 miles at lunch. That's my rule...if I don't get up in the morning, then it has to be done at lunch.

Finally Feeling Better!

Ugh, I have been sick with bronchitis and sinusitis and did not work out at all over the weekend. I knew that my body couldn't handle it!

I finally felt good enough this morning to work out. I did P90X Chest, shoulders & Arms. I will be running 3 miles at lunch, then doing Ab Ripper after work.

Oh Plyo, how I loathe thee.........

Yeah, I've been doing it for months, you would think that P90X Ploymetrics would get easier. It doesn't. It's still painful. I still hate jump knee tucks and rock star hops.

And this is just a small example what I have to deal with during my workouts with Charlie. He particularly likes to attack me during Plyo, I guess the jumping gets him excited...LOL

I almost peed my pants....

When I was taking these pictures! My kid is such a ham. I saw this costume and thought it was cute, so I bought it even though he already has a Ninja costume. I thought he would look adorable in it. Well, when my husband saw it, he's like "What the fuck is that? He looks like a stripper"!

Needless to say, now I can't get that image out of my head so he will not be wearing this costume for Halloween. But he does look darn cute in it.

Working out through the pain

Holy hell, my elbows hurt! I still don't know if it's old age or what, maybe tendinitis? Tennis elbow?

I did P90X Back and Biceps this morning. I upped the weights because it has been too easy for me. Well, it was a better workout, but man my elbows are paying the price.

**wondering if I am going to have to be on Motrin 800mg for the rest of my life**

Morning workouts suck ass....

I have found it very difficult lately to get up at 4:45 a.m. lately. I don't know if it's the weather or what. It killed me to get up this morning, especially to do P90X Plyometrics, but I did. I just kept saying "get up fatass"!

Needless to say, after I was done I was glad that I did it. Charlie continues to attack me during my workouts though! I think he may have to go in the basement during my workouts, cause I'm really tired of his nose up my ass while I am trying to work out.

I love Fall running!

It was so nice to get out there this morning in the Fall weather. I hate, hate, hate running in the heat! It was about 50 degrees when I left this morning.

My running partner (Charlie) bailed on me at mile 2 again, so I took him home and finished on my own.

Hump Day

This has been the slowest week ever! We are not busy at work and I can't stand it. I'd rather be insanely busy than to have nothing to do. Unfortunately, it's either feast or famine in this business!

I did P90X shoulders and arms this morning. I didn't even bother wearing my heart rate monitor, because the calorie burn is so minimal, even though it's a hard workout! But I know I am benefiting from the strength training workouts.

Diagnose me please....my elbows are killing me! They ache like a toothache all the time, but they really hurt when I am lifting. Is it:

a) Old Age
b) arthritis
c) bone cancer
d) tendinitis
e) None of the above
