I'm b-a-a-a-c-k!

well, after a 10 day departure from P90X, I'm back! I had a long trip to las vegas to sell more SoftSpots - and though I had the best intentions of doing some sort of workout while I was there, my work out clothes are the only thing in my suitcase that came home clean. Long days there and I just couldn't bring myself to wake up early (after bouts of freaking insomnia!) I must have not been drinking enough wine. Anyhoo - this is my second day in my renewed effort to take on p90X, which given my delay, is now P100X. I'm going to try my darndest to not tack on any further days. We are going to Cabo at Christmas so I'm running out of time to complete my "body transformation." I've also abandoned Tony's eating plan - though I'm sure it is great, I think I'm going to stick with weight watchers, which I know works for me. Tony's diet, though uber healthy, left me eating more than I think I need to - - we'll see what happens. I'm still full of jiggle - stronger, but still jiggly so hopefully this next thirty days will start attacking those yucky fat cells. And thank you my loyal blog followers (all seven of you) for not giving up on me even though I'm quite sure the thought crossed your mind!

Moan. Grunt.

I have never let out as many involuntary noises in my life in a 55 minute period than I did last night during the CORE workout. Really, generally speaking I'm just not a grunter and moaner (get your heads out of the gutter.) But if you'd been on the other side of the door last night you would have wondered what was going on. This was my second go at Core so you think it would have been easier, but somehow as the minutes ticked on my muscles got more and more less cooperative.

So when my alarm went off this morning for Day 9, I let out another groan. Not so much because it was early, and I was still tired, but because it literally hurt to roll out of bed (and I have one of those memory foam mattress toppers.) Up the stairs I painfully went to my little room to start the day with Cardio X. Today I feel like I weigh 300 pounds which made even the jumping jacks at the beginning difficult. I was literally shaking the house, so much for being light footed. Luckily I didn't wake the kids which would have really ticked off Chris who was still in bed recovering from his first day of the program.

Wish me luck as I try to tackle Day 10 tomorrow in the morning. Working out at night sucks ... I just have to remind myself when I hear that beeping before the sun is even awake.
