Day 56?

Well, somehow I've gotten myself mixed up on what day I'm on. I guess it's because I've started writing the blogs in the morning....that , and I've been so busy the last couple of weeks that I've only been blogging every couple of days. Anyway, As of last night, I was finishing up week number 8. That would've have made last night's workout day 56, right? haha I have no idea how I got so off on my day #. It's a little depressing to move backwards, but oh well. Whatcha gonna do?
Anyway, I just finished up phase 2 of the program. last night, I enjoyed yoga for the last time during that so called "recovery week." I am now down to the final 5 weeks. For teh enxt 2 weeks, I will be switching my weeekly workout lineup each week. The final, and 5th week will be the last of the recovery weeks. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, entering this third phase. It's now time to get down to business, and I can't wait to see what changes take place during that last few weeks. I will post this week's weight loss result when writing my bog for today.
Everyone enjoy your new week!
Back to 34 days to go!

Days 54 and 55

Well, I just finished my yoga workout a little while ago. Last night was Core Synergistics again. What a killer! I know this is short and sweet, but this weekend was another weekend full of classes. Honestly...ALL I can think about is being lazy on the couch and watching some tv. I really need to wind down. Even after yoga, I feel like one, big tight ball of stress. Ughhhh!!! Hopefully, after a nice morning at church, I will feel nice and relaxed and a will be a little more capable of sounding pleasant in my blog. Good night everyone!
30 days to go!!!!

Day 53

Well....that was a nice nap. I didn't get to be until almost 1 a.m. this morning. Ughhhh! Noah had choir practice last night. We didn't get home until quarter of nine. After I got them into bed, I had to breeze through Kenpo, without even having the time to really enjoy it as usual. The night before, I caught up on the Core Synergistics workout that I got mixed up earlier in the week. So, after Kenpo, I had to force myself to work on the presentation that I have due on Friday. With the consignment sale and everything all going on this week, I haven't seemed to be able to find the extra time to really put into this project. However, it's down to the wire now, so I just don't really have a choice now, do I? I know I'll get it done. If I can make it through the next 48 hours, all will be good. The presentation will be over with and I will not have to work about another class until min April.
Sorry guys....gonna be short today. I feel like I'm wasting precious time just spending 5 minutes typing this up. Gotta run!!! That's the story of my life these days. *YAWN*
32 days to go!

Day 52

Last night was a later night than I really hoped it would turn out to be. I volunteered at the consignment sale until 7 and by the time I got home, it was a mad rush to find something that my picky oldest son would eat for dinner. He didn't cooperate with Ceth very much while I was gone. Not to mention, I hadn't eaten either, not since our crazy lunch time of 10:30 at school. Needless to say, the kids stayed up a little later than they're used to. I think we are STILL fighting the daylight savings time change. Oh well. After I got them into bed, I did my workout for the night. However, I forgot that it was recovery week. I was supposed to do Core Synergistics, but ended up doing Chest and Tricepts and Ab Ripper. OOPS!!! I think I will have to tweak a few things and skip Yoga tonight and go back and do the core workout I was supposed to do last night. After I finished that, I just HAD to get some of my reading done for my class this weekend. I am trying to force my way through a 30 page chapter on the validity of school testing and assessments. Ughhhhh! It is written in typical textbook form....VERY hard to read. One day, before I die, I am going to write a textbook that is actually interesting and easy to read. Pray that I can make my way through the rest of this chapter and get my power point done before Friday. This particular assignment has been a real struggle for me. Well, as you can see, I've been a little distracted. I'm just going to try andhave an easy going day and regain some focus.
34 days to go!

Days 50 and 51

Good morning, everyone!
Well, the time change has really thrown me for a loop. Isn't it amazing just how much an hour change can make? Am I the only one who's feeling it? Anyway, we had a really nice weekend, other than the fact that, again, the time change had me all messed up yesterday. Saturday was my wonderful Kempo workout.....by far, my favorite one of the week. Yesterday, of course, was my day of rest. Ahhhhhhhh
This week is week 8, so I am starting another recovery week. There will be a lot of core workouts, a lot of yoga, a lot of stretching, and a few other gems thrown in there. As far as my weigh in this week, I am holding steady from last week. I am not goign to complain though. Yesterday, eating dinner at 8 o'clock, I expected that to kind of throw off any slight weight loss from this week, since I weighed in this morning.
Looking forward to a busy week. I start my volunteer hours at the consignment sale tonight....working 4-7. I've got a couple more hours later on in the week, and my week will end with a big project that's due for my other class on Friday night. Eeeek! No, I am not finished with it yet. :o( I will check back in tomorrow morning. I hope all of you have a blessed week.
35 days to go!

Day 48

Well, yesterday was day 53.
I had a pretty good day at school, but an even better night at my class. Last night was the last class meeting for one of my grad classes this semester. We had to give our final presentations and we received our grades for the 8 page papers we turned in earlier this week, as well as our grades for our presentations and the article summaries we had emailed her a while back. Maybe I'm tooting my own horn here, but I am very proud to say that I passed the class with a perfect A! I made the max number of points possible on each assignment. Man! I'm so relieved that that class is over, but I tell you, it's really nice to see that the hard work does pay off. Now, I only have next weekend and 1 more weekend in April before I am finished for the semester.
Now, on to the workouts. Last night, after I got home from class and got the kids ready for and in to bed, I did the Legs and Back workout.....one of my favorite muscle building/ toning workouts. That is where I've needed the firming to take place, so I am loving it. Afterward, I did the infamous Ab Ripper.....nothing new to say about that other than it still kicks my butt every time. I am feeling godd and feeling strong, KNOWING that when this 90 days is up, I will be sooo pleased with the results. I already am! I just can't wait to see in May! From there, I plan to still do workouts 3-4 times a week, focusing on my trouble areas and the cardio. That's the plan. :o)
37 days to go!

Day 47

Last night, I had an amazing workout. I completed Back and Biceps, sweated my rear off, felt PUMPED after working out those vanity muscles...lol
I was supposed to do Ab Ripper last night as well, but I had a TON of laundry to get caught up on, so I decided to save if for tonight, after I do my Yoga workout.
I am feeling really great these days, enjoying the changes that I am seeing and feeling. I am gonna be one tough momma when this is all said and done.
I will be starting to write my blogs in the mornings, I think. it seems to be easier to find the time first thing in the morning, rather than last thing at night. Anyway, thanks for checking in guys. Today is actually day 53, but I haven't done today's workout yet. I will tell you guys how it went in the morning.
37 days to go!!!
