Tuesday of the 2nd Month

My flu/cold/bug has gotten me off to a slow start, so I was late for the am workout. We switched to am due to schedule conflicts.

Sarah and Vickie were doinig their thing when I came in. Sarah on free weights and Vicki on the treadmill.

I gotta give mad props to Vicki. She couldn't do 8 laps outside in the parking lot without stopping when we began running 3 weeks ago...now she can do 25 minutes straight on the tredmill without stopping! Amazing what just 'moving your body' can do in such a short time!

Today we popped in another P90x video, this time, 'Core Synergistics'. Very nice! I love how we don't just do tricep kickbacks or just do lunges or just do military presses, Tony Horton combines it all into one. We did some side planks just like what Sal led us through one day that i had Sarah and Josi come to a class. I just really like the pace, the challenging moves and the numbe of reps. I definitely get my sweat on, but he gives us moving rest periods like Rudy did so I can keep on with the workout. The moves are challenging but we don't do them much more than a minute a piece which helps.

Sonia missed todays workout, so I gave her the 'Cario x' dvd and told her to do it tonight. I gave Vicki the dvd for todays workout so she could finish at home (she had to leave early today, rather, I was late).

Also, Amber caught wind from Vicki that we were all working out, so I invited her. She wieghed over 300 lbs when she started working at Sony and is down to 209. She and I are hoping that if she joins us at least once or twice a week (plus what she is already doing) we can push her into the 100's! She's been hanging above 200 for awhile now, so hopefully we can get rid of that 10 lbs that keeps on hanging on!

We will see and chronicle it from now on.

Oh! And my sister in San Jose is doing 'Slim in 6'. She says she 'sweats buckets' and her husband has noticed she looks "stronger" than she ever has. My sister would work out almost everyday in the gym, but now that she is doing 'Slim in 6' she is seeing a change in her body. It's all about variety being the spice of fitness y'all ;)
