Day 1 vs Day 90

After starting the program April 6, we finally reached the end.  Although it took us over 130 days to complete the program and realistically only did 3/4 of the workouts - it's over.

Luke lost 12.5 lbs and 3.25 inches off his waist.  I lost 6 lbs and 3.5 inches off my waist.  

Some of you have made comments about the "posing."  There are 6 recommended poses to do each 30 days - this wasn't something we put together!

We are going to do the program all over again, but with a new approach.  Each day we are able to do a workout will be the next scheduled workout.  No skipping, so by the time we complete this round we will have done all 90 workouts!

Final Week!

Day 82 - 90
The last week of the program is a Recovery Week which includes X Stretch, Yoga X, and Kenpo X, and Core Synergistics.  During the last week we were headed to MN and traveling, so we pushed it back a week.

The next Monday we thought we would start up the week as scheduled, but Monday turned into Wednesday, and the next thing we knew the week was over...  We did measurements and took our final pictures.  I will post them next!

Believe it or not I did yoga!

Day 81
Absolutely nothing special happened today.  I did yoga while the dogs slept and didn't do the last 10 minutes because I got so bored and had to shower.  Tonight I had an MREA meeting on campus, so I unfortunately caved to chips, guac, and enchiladas.  But I tried to keep the portion small and only had one eclair.  The plan was to go to Laguna for the ArtWalk and have some wine and apps as we walked around, but a neighbor called and said our dogs were barking non-stop.  We basically got to downtown Laguna and had to turn back around.  Oh well, at least that meant I didn't stuff my face full of anything else unhealthy!

10 more days!

Day 80
I wasn't feeling good yesterday, so I didn't do any jumping around for PlyoX.  Today I had to choose two of three: Plyo, Back and Biceps and Bellydance.  I went for a Back and Biceps workout and Bellydancing.  I wasn't able to match most of my numbers because my triceps were so sore during all of those pull ups and curls.  Not much going on in the fitness center except for the lady wearing flip flops doing cardio on the bike and a going-out-top while sweating.  All in all an uncomfortable look for the gym.

Bellydancing has been more entertaining the past couple weeks.  We are learning a new routine with a lot more belly circling and butt shimmies, so I feel like I am getting a better workout.  I don't break a sweat, but after Ab Ripper today my abs felt it.

where can you even buy a fanny pack?

Day 78
I can't believe this is our last week of resistance training.  It seems like it's been the longest program since we had to keep rewinding, but at the same time I can't believe we have been working out for so long!  I wasn't feeling great this afternoon and wanted to ditch out on Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps, but after a quick stroll with the dogs in the fresh air I felt much better.

I'm really glad I decided to wait to work out because I got to see some interesting people.  One lady was in the studio looking really good - both physically and what she was wearing.  She was like a commercial for nike with her gear on.  I was doing my free weight work, when this other guy creeped up behind me while I was jotting down my numbers.  I stood back up for my next exercise and he gave me this look like I was in his way in front of the mirror.  I was obviously there first.  This same guy then looks at me at the Asian guy next to me and asks if "we" are done using something.  As if we were together.  Why do white people assume when two Asians are near each other they are either dating/married or related??  Oh well, this white guy was wearing a fanny pack, so now who gets the last laugh?
