..:: Another Round of CORE X --- OUUCCHHHH!!!

I am telling you that I ABSOLUTELY HATE those "Superman" "Banana Rolls" .... oh lawd.  Went ahead and got it out of the way.  Did I say how much I DISLIKE CARDIO?  Got a tadbit light-headed, but I finished.

I am totally AMAZED that I am no longer eating after 5 PM ... with no regrets.  Actually I haven't eaten after 4 PM for the last few days.  I make sure that I eat something as soon as I get up [ which is usually around 4:15 PM ].  So I usually eat as such:

4:15-4:30 am
6:00-6:30 am
9:00-9:30 am
12 noon
2:30-3:00 pm
4:30-5:00 pm

Eating 5-6 meals a day, makes it much easier to eat HEALTHIER and more OFTEN.  I'm NEVER HUNGRY ... therefore, I don't CHEAT.  Looking forward to being in the BEST SHAPE since I was in my 30's ... when I had muscles EVERYWHERE ... LOL

..:: Back In Stride Again ::..

I'm BACK dammit!!! lol

Okay ... got some serious CATCHING UP to do ... doing ANOTHER ROUND of P90X ... the right one this time ... lol

I started the SECOND week this past Saturday.  I've lost 3.6 pounds and my arms and legs are getting more muscular ... LOVE IT!  Not doing it this time for weight or fat loss ... really trying to CUT UP this time.  I'm trying to STAY OFF THE SCALE.  I know I will STOP losing and I may GAIN weight [ which of course will be muscle ]. 

I did the CARDIO X on Saturday and the Sunday I skipped the CORE X.  I was outside in the yard raking, blowing leaves and playing with the dogs [ it was a beautiful 70 degrees ... go figure we had an ICE STORM on 01/09 ].

Debating whether to do the CORE X today or move on to the Shoulders | Arms.  It is not a good ideal for me to keep my hands above my head, for extended periods of time [ from car accident ].  I was EXTREMELY SORE and it took the massager, BENGAY and the heating pad, to alleviate that pain.

My DIET is going extremely well ... eating every  2 1/2 - 3 hours, not EATING AFTER 5 PM, water intake is decent !!!!

Been Out Of It For Almost A Week

Due to my father-in-laws passing, I've been out of sorts for awhile.  Tried to get back into gear last night, but after running around all day, just not feeling it.  Need to get going this morning and do SOMETHING.

The funeral is tomorrow, so I'm actually debating if I want to be "SORE" trying to walk around in some heels.  Matter of fact, need to take those heels back and get a "bigger size".  Haven't been doing heels in awhile so this will be VERY INTERESTING!!

R.I.P. "Big Daddy B" - Gonna Miss Ya

My father-in-law passed yesterday @ 7:55 PM.   Health is such an "IMPORTANT" part of life.  Yeh it is.  Eating sensibly, keeping drinking to a minimum, EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE. 

I missed P90X for two days ... got into the "Getting The Yard Together Spirit".  From about 2 PM to 6 PM, I was out in the yard ...

• Spreading "Weed and Feed" AGAIN -- my neighbors have WEEDS for GRASS right now
• Tilling my flowerbeds ... not sure if I want to plant this year or just cover with rocks and planters
• Put down the weed material to make SURE no weeds get in between the rocks and whatever I plant
• Moving the stone blocks that encased the flower beds for all these years ... those lil things were heavy
• Removed the bricks that were holding down the weed material ... had to find the right SPIKES .. lol
• Put the spikes down - my lil friends the "GEICOS" did not like the fact I was invading in their space

So while watering the yard (I overseeded and always re-seeded the spots where my dog urinates), hubby comes out to ask if I want to go to the house (his parents).  There's a look that I've never seen in his eyes.  I ask, "What's going on at the house?"  "Dad just passed".  My stupid reply:

"Stop playing ... are you serious?"  He was so calm about it.  So I'm gathering up the hose, running in the house to change clothes, trying to remember to do this that.  He walks in and says, "Stop rushing - he'll be there when we get there".

We got back home well after midnight and you know the rest of the story, for the coming days.  Hubby is restoring our Mustang, so tinkling under the hood and replacing certain parts will keep his mind occupied.

Maybe I'll muster up the strength to at least do the "SHOULDER | ARM" routine ... I don't think anything with BACK, is a good ideal after the two days in the dirt.

Does This Mean I'll Get DIVORCED Now?

Did you know that the last few ladies that received the OSCAR ... well they got divorced soon after? Ya'll did hear about Sandra Bullock right?  Damn, is this a GOOD thing or a BAD thing?  Anywhoooo ...

I got the message to tell SIX outrageous lies and ONE outrageous truth about me.  Hmmmm ... let's see:

• One of my previous jobs was a dental hygenist.
• One of my previous jobs was a firefighter.
• One of my previous jobs was a police officer.
• One of my previous jobs was a veterinarian assistant
• One of my previous jobs was a court reporter
• One of my previous jobs was a flight attendant

Now I must pass this honor along to SIX other folk:

I don't HAVE six that come to mind right now ... so I will come back to this one !! HA

Awww Man ... I Forgot To Do My Assignment

Been working out in the yard for the last two days.  I forgot how much work it can be, when you don't get a head start.  I WILL do Kenpo tomorrow and Core on Saturday (if I can stay outta this yard).

I've decided to REVAMP my routine again, so that I can get the most out of my workouts before my birthday in May.  Gotta, GOTTA ... yes GOTTA add more CARDIO (yawnnnn ...).

I get to sleep in tomorrow ... at least until 6:30 AM (usually up at 4 AM) ... yippee!  Okay, let me see if I can find what I'm SUPPOSED to do for that award!!! HA

I just got a BLOGGER AWARD

Now I need to go back and do what it said.  Ya'll know about me and directions.  I did thank her though!

Still learning my way around this thing ... where did the message go?  brb
