My CALF muscles are TWITCHING

So it's MONDAY.  And usually i hate mondays, as do you, but today is my day OFF aka REST DAY for P90x.  I started the schedule on a Tuesday, so instead of the regular scheduled sunday rest day, mine is monday.  HENNYWAYS:  Friday i skipped Yoga X, shame on me.  Told myself I'd do it saturday.  Saturday I did legs and back, followed by ab ripper.  I don't have a pullup bar (boy is bringing it over sometime, he OBVIOUSLY doesn't need it...)
Yeah thats right. Meow

 SO, everytime the P90x vid did pullups I just did 10 pushups.
With that said, I'm not very sore from that portion of the workout, except for my legs.  We did every type of lunge, squat, and wall sit imaginable.  The one that has me limping today (monday night, 2 days later, yikes) was the calf raises.


Then came ab ripper, the second time i've done it and it has NOT gotten an ounce easier....


So I was pooped after those two workouts, and told myself I'd do yoga SUNDAY.  Sunday rolls around, and I do next on the list:  Kenpo X.  Now, I've been doing Tae Bo tapes/dvds for YEARS i'm telling you.  I owe it all to my High School gym teacher, Mrs. Phillips aka Mrs. Spanton.  LOVE her. She popped in a tae bo tape once and I was in LOVE.  Basketball, volleyball, and softball practices couldnt touch the muscles in my butt that Mr. Bo did... hehehe... Second best class in gym: "falling asleep techniques!"  LOL, i can still remember her soothing voice and rainforest sound effects.  And the smell of the stinky mats we laid on...

So yeah, back on track: Kenpo X is a lot like tae bo, and for me, a little easier.  I'm used to doing all the kicks and punches with bands attached to my feet, and in Kenpo X there was none of that.  Still good workout though. No Yoga yet though :(

So on my rest day today I thought I'd take care of some bidness so I have all week to focus on workouts.  Went to Target, Walgreens and Mounds.  And wandered.  Just wandered.  I couldnt find anything I was looking for, damn you Target.  BUT the purchase that makes up for it all: kitties first catnip:




I'll leave you with this 'skinny' blast from the past (high school! look at the leopard belt! Abercrombie baby tee! God i was the shit):


Kisses,

88 Days to go!

Stab me.  PLEASE.

This is what was staring up at me throughout my WHOLE workout last night:

BRAT

Last night's workout wasn't that bad.  It was Cardio-x and the first half of the 45 minutes was all yoga!?  But it was intense yoga.  Next time I'm going to do that part with my shoes off to make it easier to stay in the poses. 

The second half of the workout was mostly kicking, punching, and jumping leg lifts. Definatley worked my lungs. 

The sorest part of my body is the sides of my abdomen and my butt/back of my thighs.  I just realized that the harest workout, Kenpo X, falls on sundays for me, and monday is my relax/yoga day.  But since I started on a tuesday, that's just how the schedule fell into place. 

Tonight is shoulders and arms, followed by ab ripper.  Ab ripper is tacked onto the end of a few workouts, but it's only 16 min long.  My uncle gave me a heads up that it's brutal. 

I felt sick again nearing the end and had to lay down immediatley after stretching. Hopefully that goes away soon.  Was supposed to go to my friends house for a bonfire and smores after my workout :(  I should stop making plans for after these workouts until i'm able to function within an hour after them!  When I started to feel better I made some chicken salad, from scratch, which i'm about to eat in an hour for lunch.  I tasted it last night and it is AWESOME. 





  Unrelated, I want these dresses: 




The red one is around $100 online and the yellow is vintage -some designer, so impossible to get my hands on :(

Both pictures are from Vintage Vandalism's blog:  here  LOVE HER
