Day 20- May 8

Happy Saturday!!!!
In my area it's looking gloomy and the skies are ready to open up and rain on our heads. But the clouds can't put a damper on my spirits today. So I already told you the story of the "energy sucking burrito". So I didn't work out yesterday.


Oh but wait, I definitely got my WORKOUTS (yes plural) in today. So after getting a very good nights sleep. I popped out of bed at 7AM today. I said "Thank you God for blessing me with another day of life- time to push play".

1st workout was Legs & Back- oh yes!!! I was trembling with the fear that I wouldn't be able to stand at the end of it all. But I made it happen, I did great on the pull up bars also. I'm still using the chair with support, but I'm hoping that by the end of the 90 day I'll be doing some pull ups w/o the chair assistance

2nd workout was Ab Ripper X. For the 1st time in 3 weeks I did every single one of those moves with 25+ reps. Wow!! I'm patting myself on the back. It took me longer to complete- so I had to keep pressing pause. Those suckers are fast. However, my lower back hurts a lot when I do some of these moves. I'm assuming it's because my abs aren't strong enough, but in time, I'll fix that problem. (If you have any suggestions- send them my way).

3rd workout- yes that's right- was Kenpo X. (aaarrrrggggghhhh). Kenpo had me sweating even harder than Legs & Back. I so love this routine- although, my mind kept drifting off into an imaginary land where I was able to fly off of buildings and kick ass (like those action flicks). LMAO. But it kept me moving- hey- you never know when Quentin Tarenteno may come knocking on my door. LMAO

4th and Final Workout... was Yoga X. I don't know who told me that I should do this damn Yoga- but my mind was set and I was determined to do this damn routine. I have to admit, my original disdain for Yoga has completely changed. I enjoyed every single one of this 90 minute exercise. I can feel more flexibility coming in. I kicked @$$ during the poses and at the end- I felt so good with my legs crossed, eyes closed and saying "OOOHHHHHMMMMMMMM" lol

YES I DID IT!!! I did 4 workouts TODAY (if you consider ARX) and I did it from start to end. I feel so good and accomplished. I worked out from 7AM- 10:45AM. Yes, it was a long morning, but well worth the effort.

I hope you got up and pushed play.
