Pigs and P90, etc.

Pigs

Sooo- this past weekend, I went down to Blanding to see my family- my mom, loo, callie, and cody drove up from Tejas. I also have quite a bit of extended family there and we had a lot of fun! We went and saw some of the largest pigs I have ever seen in my entire life. The mama pig had some cute little piglets that everyone loved. Here are some shots of that:


It was way fun

P90x

Alright so we're now on to recovery week. This week is going to go Yoga, Core Synergistics, Kenpo, Stretch, Cardio, Yoga. I missed the first Yoga because I was driving home from Blanding and then had to work late. I did Core today and I finally loved it! I had hated it the past 3 weeks because it had so many pushups. Today, I did legit pushups- not like knees on the floor, but feet on the floor- like man pushups! Heck yes.

New obsessions

I've decided that you all need to go download the new song from Black eyed peas- "I gotta feeling". Tis amazing. Another one is the whole album from Ting Tings- I heart their song- "Great Dj". Everyone also needs to watch So You Think You Can Dance on Wednesdays and Thursdays and vote for Jason and Jeanine- they're the best!

That's all for now!

P 90 X

So I have a new motivation for exercise and it came in the form of P90x. For those of you who don't know what p90 is- you really should brush up on your current infomercials.

The basics of the program are the following and hopefully Tony will be proud of my knowledge:

1. 90 day program
2. muscle confusion- 3 weeks of intense workouts, 1 recovery week, 3 weeks of different intense workouts, 1 recovery week, lastly- 3 weeks of different intense workouts and a last recovery week.

Most people that know me know I am the queen of getting pumped up about exercising and then getting way bored after a couple of weeks- Leo can seriously testify of this. Buuuuut- this time I'm for real. Lol.

I started June 1st. I'm pretty bored so I'm gonna explain all of my daily workouts to y'all.

Day 1- Core Synergistics- Boo, the first dvd hated me. This was hard, I can't even explain it because most of the time I was just staring at the tv trying to figure out what the heck they were doing. I'm doing it again tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.

Day 2- Cardio X- this dvd rocked! It was just lots of intense cardio

Day 3- Shoulders & arms- most of this was lifting weights and it was good stuff. I barely used any weight because I didn't know how hard it would be and it was too easy, I'm gonna add more this upcoming week.

Day 4- Yoga- oh yoga, sure lots of people like you but my unflexible unbalanced body doesn't. But since those are the things that yoga will help with, I suffered through a 1/3 of this dvd. Dude, it's 1 1/2 hrs long!

Day 5- Legs & Back- this was good stuff! I had to do pullups and lots of them, luckily I had one leg on a chair so it wasn't that hard. Either way, this one was a favorite of mine!

Day 6- Kenpo- this is basically kickboxing which I looove! I feel so rough n tough when I'm punching but I know if there were a mirror around, the mirror would laugh at how pathetic my punches are.

Day 7- rest

So this is how it will be for the next 2 weeks! I'll update on Recovery week- I know you all will want to know about it.

Finally!

Goodness, we finally got Internet today... I have been dying for it, mostly because of my email. Which is hilarious because I checked it tonight and had like 50 in my inbox and thought, "Wow, I'm so needed!" Then after I deleted the Redbox and shopping emails, I only had 8. Ego check.

The condo is absolutely fabulous! We're loving it. It was funny because last night, before we fell asleep, Leo and I were like you know we love our home but it doesn't have the satisfaction we expected it too... blah blah blah. Then we started talking about all the things we didn't notice, like the inside of our home feeling like a sauna, the crick in our backs from the previous couch, and procrastinated dish washing! So, let's just say- we are flipping ecstatic about where we live!

Thank you very much, I have cooked more times in this past week or two then I have in a looong time. And its been fun! well... more fun than before.

Umm.. not sure what else to write but I'll try to put up pics tomorrow of the place, 'Tis very fun!

Peace!
