Yesterday was a little busy for me. I got up early (well early on a Wednesday for me). I needed to get a shower before the DirectTv guy was supposed to be at the house. Also the house needed to be picked up a bit. Mike got up and off to work then I got busy. I did some dishes and put away some clean clothes. Picked up some stuff laying around, then hurried up and waited. Now I asked for them to come earlier, but that wasn't going to happen. The guy showed up around 10:45 and didn't get done until 12:30. Those in the know, know that I'm supposed to be at work by 12. So of course I was late, again. That is a conversation for another day though. The high note was that I finally got TV back after almost 2 weeks. Now I can watch some of my shows again.
On my lunch, a member of my Well's Weighs In team and I went to the YMCA for our free day of the week. We didn't have long as we were on our lunch. We got there and took a tour. Its a really nice facility. Everything was really clean and well taken care of. Definitely would recommend it. Then, got changed and headed to the elliptical machines. My friend had never been on them so I gave the the skinny. I then proceeded to do over a mile on that machine. Then we moved to some other machine that was similar, but doesn't have the up and down motion, just the slide motion. I did about 1/2 mile there. We didn't do any of the weight or anything else. Wish we had had more time to wonder around the room and try everything. Oh well next time. We get 1 day a week so hope to use everyone of them. We want to get to one of the classes they offer in the next week or two. So I'll let you know about it when we make it.
I got home late last night, but know I had do my P90X workout so I didn't get off schedule and let myself down. I ran out and fed the horses, then came in and popped in Legs and Back. I liked it, but I had a problem with the stuff on the pull-up bar. I don't have a pull-up bar, but I do have the stretch bands. I used those, but had to wing it because I don't have any place to hang the bands from. I think I made it work though. Someone should have warned me though about doing the first week of Legs after doing the elliptical machine. This morning my legs felt like jello. I kept stretching them out all day trying to ease some of the tightness. I liked this workout though it was tough. Then it was on to AbRipper. Ok so better than the first try at it. I didn't stop as much and really brought it the first couple of moves, then had to start pacing myself. I felt like I had knot tied in my stomach by the end. It worked out quickly though. I then relaxed for a few and hit the bed.
Today at work was interesting. Just a hint to those out there, your pharmacist is not a dumb ass. We did not make it through 6-8 years of upper level schooling for no reason. I know who to watch out for and who to ask extra questions from. Don't get pissed off at me if you are lying to me about your prescriptions and you get caught. I can not and will not help you get a few extra pills every month. This is also another rant for another day.
So we got a few inches of snow today. It was getting bad when I left work tonight and the ride home was slow, but uneventful. I did get to 4-wheel around the drive-way to clear up some of the snow. FUN!!!
Tonight's work-out was Kenpo. As I said before, I was not sure that I would like this workout. I found that it was okay, but I'm still torn about it. I got some of the moves, but still had problems with others. I am definitely not pretty when doing these. I'm just gonna have to keep doing it to try to figure it all out. I think if my balance improves it should get even better. I finished it, doing most of the reps for each move that I got. Others I tried I really did. I hope that it gets better. Most people seem to enjoy this one, so there has to be something about it that is fun. I just get frustrated when I don't get something I should be able too. Coordination must improve right? I've always know I do not have any so this could be a challenge.
So, tomorrow is Day 7. I am going to do X Stretch. I do not want to give myself a day off. I do not want to let my muscles rest and get sore so it on again for tomorrow. I like stretch the last time I did it anyways. Well everyone enjoy your day.
good for you! a week of it! awesome, girly, girl. and no, the coordination doesn't improve. i still look like an idiot doing the combo punches. i don't have a pull up bar either. i bought one, but had no place in the living room to put it, and i dont have a place to put the bands, either, so i use my weights and pretend im pulling instead of pushing up. :)
