I know I haven't posted in a few days, but...

There isn't really much to post. I still hate push-ups. In fact, yesterday I did 4-3-4s instead of 7-7-7s. I've gotten better at Power Yoga, but I'm still struggling with going into Runner's Pose/Warrior after raising one leg in the air over your head. Shoot, I actually DID fall over today! I kicked the heck out of the air, and no amount of stretching is probably going to change the soreness in my legs. And my lateral X-work has gotten better, probably because I actually put an "X" on my floor Thursday.

What? I didn't mention an "X" on Tuesday? Well, when you start Sweat, Tony (or as like to call him, "Broke Down Jeff Probst") asks if you have your X. At first, I had no clue what he was talking about until I looked at the floor on the screen. In front of Tony and each of the kids was an X (well, actually it was a cross, but we're going with Tony terms here). Basically, you jump in and out of the different quadrants. Tuesday, it was difficult to keep up because I had no X. Thursday, I found some tape in the back bedroom and put one on the floor in front of my TV.

Speaking of the back bedroom, I moved my Sculpt workouts there because I have more room for the lunges. More room = better form because I can actually straighten my leg out.

I have to say this, though: if someone had told me on Tuesday - or ever in my LIFE - that I would do 100 crunches (ie. make it through Ab Ripper), I would've told them that they've lost their natural mind. So I guess I can call it a win. -_-

In other news, ONE WEEK DOWN!!! Well, okay, six days, but I AM finished with workouts for the week. Only 84 days left to go. I hope that by September 11th, I'm like the chick in the new J.J. Murray book: pericolosa curves. Before then, I'd like to have an experience that she had near the end of the novel: working out so hard and burning so much fat that my sweatpants just fall off and I have to finish the workout in my underwear.

Also, check out this website: http://excelworkouttools.com/. This guy's spreadsheets are well worth the few dollars that he's charging for them. So far I've received the P90 from a friend and bought the one for ChaLEAN Extreme, which is what I'll be doing between Rockin' Body and Turbo Jam. I just wished he had written one for Master Series (between Turbo Jam & Turbo Fire). And, yes, I've planned my workout schedule that far in advance.
