I’m in a lot of pain.
well not as much as i was yesterday and the day before. My legs are feeling much better after doing the crazy plyometrics work out. the other stuff i’ve done is the ab ripper and shoulders and arms. Today I will get back on schedule and do Kenpo, whatever the hell that is. I got up today and my legs aren’t hurting as bad going up or down the stairs but they are still a little sore, but MUCH MUCH better than yesterday. My arms are not as sore as I’d thought they would be but next time I do shoulders and arms again I’m gonna do all the reps and maybe more to see if that will work. Some of the exercises are really hard to do though and I have to put it on slo mo just to see how exactly they are doing it. I’m thinking of getting someone to watch me so they can help me on my form. I try to slow the dvd down so i can do it correctly but its hard cause im concentrating on doing the exercise and sometimes the rest of me does weird stuff to try to accommodate. I’m going to stop by walmart today to get one of those measuring tape things that are just a roll so i can measure myself, i’m tired of measuring with a string and then measuring the string afterward.
I’m also feeling freakin hungry all the time ever since I started, so I’m guessing I’m not eating enough or something. I haven’t been following the diet exactly though, just sort of ‘loosely’ because I haven’t had time to sit down and count everything out. So I’m thinking of buying the little grocery list and making the meals they suggest that way I don’t have to count at all I can just eat whenever I’m supposed to and what I’m supposed to.
Yesterday I met this girl to play tennis and thankfully she did not turn out to be a weirdo so we are gonna play again this coming saturday. Thankfully by then my finals will be over and I’ll be much more relaxed and in the mood to play. I got my ass kicked though, which I guess makes sense cause I haven’t played in like 2 weeks. I kind of miss practicing with tommy cause he always showed me what to do and helped me a lot, but i would feel weird calling him up now out of the blue. Well i have my chemistry final tomorrow so i better go study all day today. I’m also going to that job interview with that lady later today too so hopefully that goes well and they are not freakos. I passed by the street that they live on the other day though and they are really big houses so they must be rich. okay thats all for now
No commentsp90x first few days
first few days have been kicking my ass. literally. physically. my ass hurts really bad when im walking or even just doing anything. and my legs are all sore and crazy too but my ass hurts the most even though it was a lower leg work out except for a few parts that ar supposed to work your butt muscles. anyways i am too tired to blog about it too much but these are some pictures for my ‘before’ pics that they told me to take. youre supposed to have 6 , two facing front with hands on hip and arms up, two facing back and hands on hip and arms up, then one of your side, and one of a ‘twist’ type of pose which i couldnt really get right. agh anyways im too lazy to type about it, i will later



p90x, finals, and job hunting
well i am trying to find a job that is really flexible for me because i have to work it around my classes and my sister’s schedule because one of us has to be home in the day to watch over the youngest one. its a pain in the ass but yeah i have to deal with it. in the surge of getting all pumped up about working out i applied at this fitness place (hoping to access to closer gym equipment since UH is 45 minutes away) but unfortunately I applied one day late and they had someone already. I will apply at another fitness place this coming week to see if i can get a job there.
starting in may i will be on the p90x exercise program. its going to lst until august and me frankie and gordon are having a little friendly competition on who will get better results. me and frank are gonna do the p90x thing and gordon is gonna make up his own routine which he thinks will be better than the one p90x made up. once i get my ripped abs i will beat him up with it! lol just kidding. but im not in this to lose weight i just wanna tone up all around and especially my thighs and stomach so hopefully it works. tomorrow im going to take all my measurements and maybe print out a log sheet to write all my little stuff on it while doing the exercises. im also supposed to take 6 pictures in these poses so i can compare myself at the end.
i have finals the next two weeks so i will probably not be online much since i will be studying hardcore for a while and plus thursday i start my p90x thing and if its as intense as people say it is , its possible i will just be in too much pain to sit here and type but i hope that is not the case. i have al ot of things to do this week and i hope that i can do good on my finals so i dont lower my gpa anymore than i already have. alright i am going to go out with my gordon and linda today (and chau, but she said she cant go now) so hopefully i will have a breezy day. wtf. i just lost connection and then got it back again. wellat least it wasnt saving this post or else iw ould be all pissed off. oh yeah and spekaing of pissed off my windshield cracked again cause a rock hit it on the freeway. ugh this is already my 2nd windshield so now i will have to move on to my third !
