10 Minute Challenge...
This morning I started my workout routine bright and early at 5:30a.m. ;-0 As I mentioned in previous blogs, I hate, hate, hate, YogaX and was glad to learn that others aren't too happy about this routine within the "P90X" program either. You know how misery loves company. LOL! Well, instead of using today as a REST day or switching to another 45 to 60 minute routine, I decided to substitute YogaX with one of Tony Horton's 10 minute routines. As discussed before, these 10 minute workouts can be killer even though they're not very long. Today was no exception to that reality as I conquered the Core Challenge for 10 minutes. It was rough, tough, and great all at the same time. ;-) The great thing about it is, I've knocked out my workout for the day and feel rejuvenated this morning. I have to switch up my routine this week due to some other obligations but I'm not missing a day. Instead of working out on Friday and Saturday and using Sunday as a rest day, I'm actually taking Friday as a rest day sort of, and working out Saturday and Sunday with the "P90X" routine. However, Friday will be more active than normal as I enjoy a bike ride and a game of golf. ;-0 This will be my first time playing golf, so wish me luck, and I guess you never forget how to ride a bike. LOL!

Day 46 - February 15, 2011
Cardio XXXXXXXXX...
Energy overload today, ladies and gentlemen! Today's workout with Cardio X was great! I had the energy needed to do the 44 minute workout without strain. ;-) I felt good, it was good, and everything is Kool and the Gang! LOL! I'm still not sure what's given me this burst of energy (e.g. Energy Drink, B12 supplement, Green Tea supplement, Life, etc.), but I ain't knocking it. Tomorrow is one of my favorite workouts: Shoulders and Arms and I can't wait to carry this energy over into Wednesday.

THIRD WEEK OF PHASE 1, HERE I COME...
Today marks the third week of the Phase 1: Lean Program of "P90X," and I'm bringing it with Tony Horton and his crew! I was a little hesitant to perform the Core Synergistics workout today but after an energy drink (yes, I know, I know, I promised to let them go), I was flying high! Literally, this workout felt great and although I sweated and struggled through some of the routine, it was just what I needed today and I'm looking forward to Tuesday's Cardio X routine! ;-)

Day 43 - February 12, 2011
Second Week's Over...
Well I made it through the second week of Phase 1 - Lean of "P90X"! This week wasn't as difficult as the first week because I wasn't fighting the issues with sleep and fatigue as much. Those little demons are still here just not as bad. ;-0 I started taking B12 and Green Tea Liquid supplements yesterday and hopefully I will begin to see more signs of energy in a few weeks. I'll keep you posted. ;-) Next week I'm going to try to do my workouts without the use of energy drinks. OMG! Although they give me a quick jolt of a false sense of energy, I think they're wreaking havoc on my gut. ;-( So it's back to using my vitamins, the "P90X" recovery drink, and a wish and prayer. LOL! I"ll keep you posted on this too.
I'm still anxious to see some major results, but I also understand that they will show up when they're ready to show up. It's been hard staying consistent but I know that this is truly something that is for my good and something that I can do for me and only me. So I'm staying on the course to what I believe is the "right" path for me.

Day 41 - February 10, 2011
10 Minutes of Pure Sweat...
Today was my semi rest day. Instead of doing the Yoga X routine, I decided to use this as a rest day. Well first, I thought of incorporating a different workout routine, like Cardio X or Kenpo X. Then I watched Tony Horton's "10 Minute Plyometrics" workout routine last night and decided to do that routine today. But as I sat at work today and dealt with some office drama, I thought about foregoing any sort of workout. The usual suspects started lurking around in my mind and whispered sweet doughnuts and chili dogs in my head. LOL! But as I drove home today, the determination that I've been feeling as of lately got rid of the negative voices and inspired me to go through with the 10-minute Plyometric routine.
It was tough, it was rough, it was painful, it was just what the doctor ordered. ;-) As usual, Tony Horton made me a believer and helped me to do "my best and forget the rest!"

Day 40 - February 9, 2011
Time for the Gun Show....
Today was Xcellent with the Shoulders and Arms Routine - "P90X." It's my third day of the second week of Phase 1: Lean Program and I'm loving the break from the high energy cardio. I've joined the Beachbody Message Board and have received a lot of information from a female point of view on increasing my energy and setting realistic expectations for results. Most of the women encourage drinking the Shakeology meal replacement shake for energy and to expect to see results from the workouts within 60 days or later. As much as I struggle with energy issues, I just can't see investing $130.00 a month in this miracle smoothie. A part of me really wants to know if it works, but I think I'm going to have to stick with the current "P90X" Recovery Drink, a liquid vitamin, and getting more sleep. I'm glad to know what I should expect when seeing results. Like most, I wish I could see instant changes but Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was my belly fat. LOL!
I had planned on giving myself a REST day tomorrow instead of the Yoga X routine, but think I might try the "One-On-One 10 Minute Trainer" series with Tony Horton. The routine I want to do is Plyometrics and should be intense enough for a good workout but short enough so that I won't be too exhausted. I'm previewing it as I write this blog, but will give you the facts Jack after I do it tomorrow evening. LOL!
