Thanks! I just finished Core Synergistics and I'm whipped! I spent more time marching in place but I'm doing what i can until i can keep up. I'm saying NO to failure!

I really enjoy kempo, but I have learned a valuable lesson. NEVER do a full workout, then spend 20 minutes on a treadmill, then compete against your husband on your father-in-law's bowflex. I can barely move!

I decided to change start date even though i have been exercising because although I have been working out, I haven't been eating as properly as I could have, so today is officially day 2, my cardio X day. I don't mind, the more i work out the better it will be for me in the long run, and i really need to develop the habit of moving my body on a regular basis. I'm gonna be smart today, i will do a workout on the bowflex FIRST, then do cardio x later.

Illness has crept up on me again! I have to get surgery on my sinuses on the 14th of February. Come to find out, the constant health problems I have been dealing with are a result of severe allergies I didn't know i had and a cyst! SO, I get 4 allergy shots a week for at least the next 2 years and 4 different procedures on the inside of my face. Yea me! Anyway, doing the X with full intensity is on hold until after I heal from my surgery, but just doing some of the exercises has helped me to lose a total of 8 pounds! I am down from 230 to 222! Hopefully I will heal fast and get back on track for the month of February.
