P18X - In the home stretch...
Almost finished! Home stretch! Bottom of the ninth! The final count down! Last lap!
Holy crap... this is monumental, but I am ready to move on to something else. 90 days of the same thing over and over is a long time. I have been recently grumbling to myself about the hour it takes, but that is stupid. It take a lot longer to go to the gym. this is done at home in the living room any time. I need to remember that part.
On a completely different note. My resistance band snapped the other day which has forced me to move on to doing pull ups with the pull up bar. I can do it! I didn't thnk I could, so I never tried before.
Sweet!!
Not sure where we are going next.
We have 18 days to think about it.

Blarg!
Double blarg!!! We missed a day of the P90X. I wanted to do the whole thing and never miss once.
But... between seasonal allergies, homework, grading, a preparing for a job interview, a bike crash, trip to urgent care/pharmacy, the hour and a half work out didn't happen. The irony is after all that we probably needed and hour and a half of yoga to chill out.
Back on track though, that whole mess was Tuesday and the work-outs got done on Wednesday. It's another rest week, this week, so the work-out order is switched up. I'll be glad when we are finished. It's getting old!! But, it is definitely making a difference in both of our fitness levels. I'll really see if it's made a difference next weekend. We are going to run a 5K. The husband will have no problem. He's done them and is/has been a runner. I am not a runner, so we'll see. It'll be fun though.There is a 50 yard dash for the kids and they get a t-shirt at the beginning and a dog tag necklace after the race. They also have childcare for the kids during the actual race, so the little booger will be able to hang out and play while we run. I hope the weather is ice. It's cooled off, now for Fall, so it should be nice and mild.
Now to not obsess about the job interview!!! I hate waiting.

Agree to disagree...
People are weird.
That weirdness really rears it's ugly head during times of political debate. There is always an undercurrent of weirdness, but nothing like an election to bring the radicals out of the woodwork.
So, no big secret, I lean to the left. Pretty far to the left, by most people's standards. I'm open minded about it though. I am completely open to agree to disagree.
But...
Do not judge me if you don't know me...
Do not condemn my beliefs and I will not condemn yours...
Do not witness to me or my children...
Keep religion out of the science classroom and put it into humanities where it belongs...
I'll respect your opinions, if you respect mine...
And we'll get along just fine.
Radicalism is a very scary and nasty thing. No matter where it comes from. And it can come from the left as well as the right.
Everyone just needs to smarten the hell up and be open minded. Ha ha ha! Like that will ever happen, as I watch society become more and more segregated in their beliefs.
In that case, I guess we just need to find like minded people and stick together. But then again, I will circle back around to saying that I am willing to hear your opinions and respect them, if you are willing to hear mine and in turn also respect them. I will agree to disagree, until you cross the line. Until then, we'll get along just fine. Unfortunately it seems that no one can control themselves and the line just gets bulldozed.
Very disappointing.

Halfway through...
Okay, almost halfway through. I think we are on day 42 or something like that. This week is the halfway point. It's getting a little repetative, but you have to look for the humor in the work-outs. Tony is like the Michael Scott of exercise videos. "Blam Pam!!" and "Coca COla, that's right, I said it!!" Corny and annoying, but there is gold hidden in there. We just tough it out and laugh at the stupid stuff and the cheesy music. Once again, I can proudly report that we have not yet missed a work-out.

Moving right along...
We are still at it. I can proudly say that niether of us have missed a day of P90X, yet. The kids are getting used to seeing me jumping around in front of the TV. The little guy will get in there and do it, too. It's pretty cute. He was being a terror while I was doing the yoga work-out on Friday, which is challenging when you don't have a four year old running back and forth under your downward dogs that you hold for the longest 5 breaths in existence. I have to say his form is great, though. I'm jealous.
Keepin' on truckin'!
