Whoops. I accidentally deleted a couple of comments this morning. I apologize. I did get to read them first, and thank you.
Yesterday was day 2 of my revisiting P90x. I did about 30 minutes of the cardiox video and then swam. Those videos continue to be challenging, interesting and effective. Between back and legs on Monday and yesterdays cardio video, I can already feel a difference, if not in my body, certainly in my brain. Today is a weight training day again-upper body work and ab ripper x, which I would like to do at least part of 3 times a week. I realized yesterday, that having Kyle home last year and watching him do so well with this program helped inspire me greatly. I don’t seem to have quite the same inspiration without him here, but I am digging deep because I know how effective it was!
I really liked last night’s episode of Losing It. I felt that this episode was pretty realistic. The mom, Amy, lost 17 pounds and the dad, Todd, lost about 36 pounds, both in 6 weeks. That put Amy right in the “healthy weight loss” numbers (average 2.5 pounds a week). Todd had to lose about 6 pounds a week, but at 300 pounds, that makes sense! IF Amy is really able to stay away from cigarettes, than that was a major, major accomplishment and life saver…for her and her girls. I found this episode to be a little less focused on Jillian which was refreshing. I loved to see Jillian take Amy to someone else’s yoga class and loved how much Amy seemed to “flow” there. She looked really pretty when Jillian came back after 6 weeks, and somehow I feel that on a show called Losing It, Amy “found” it.
Keep searching for whatever it is you need to find. Keep in mind, it’s probably right there where you are.
I felt the same way about Losing It last night.
It’s my favorite episode to date.
I’ve been back in the gym (taking classes) since Saturday, which was 5 weeks from the day I fractured my arm. OMG – Endorphins make such a huge difference in my life! There’s something about a class, the energy, the music, the commraderie that just does it for me! Thanks Bonni – last night was awesome!
Rita – a herniated disc?!?! Crap!
I’ll email you separately so we don’t clog up Bonni’s blog.
Happy Hump Day All 🙂
Was great to see you at the gym last night. It’s so funny-you take seeing everyone for granted, and don’t realize how much you miss the regulars when they are not there. Glad for your return, but take it easy!!
Carol……I am totally craving for a plate of endorphins…….I haven’t had my share in a long time. I am happy that you are recovering and getting back to your routine. Take it slowly.
Greetings! I’ve been following your weblog for a while now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Huffman Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the fantastic job!
