I am really, really finding it difficult to get up so early! This wasn't a problem forever, and now, it is. Oh, well, at least I'm getting my workouts done. I feel slightly guilty for plopping my kiddos in front of a movie so I could do it before naptime and have more time for relaxation during naptime, but it is what it is.
It's hot out. It's hot in here. I'm sweating like a pig, and I finished 20 minutes ago! I'm just counting it as extra weight lost.
From here on out, every workout I do will be the last time I do it. Kinda sad and really exciting.

Day 81: Yoga
I am having MAJOR problems getting my little tushie out of bed to workout. I have no idea why. I really think the vacation is harder for me to leave in the past than I'd like to admit. I did manage to get to my workout in the afternoon, though, as opposed to this evening, so that's a bonus.
Tomorrow's Wendy's first day of 2nd grade, which means I'm going to be back on my old school schedule from a couple months ago. Yikes! At least I didn't spend the summer sleeping in until 8 every day. That wouldn't have even been possible, but lucky nonetheless. Tomorrow? Core at 5. Let's do this and FINISH STRONG!

Day 80: Back and Biceps
I went WAY off my norm today and worked out this evening. I just didn't want to do it this morning. We had no children. It was quiet. The sun was shining. I just wanted to lay in bed and enjoy the morning. I had no intention of skipping out today, especially when today brought the prospect of updating my FB status showing just 10 days to go!
It was a good workout. I love the "glamour" workouts. They make me feel all pretty. They're like lip gloss only harder and stinkier.
Really, truly, I am almost done. The reality that I'm now in single digit countdown is almost too much for me to process. I remember typing in "Day 1" and now look at me. Day effing 80! Go me!

Day 78: Rest; Day 79: Plyo
I've gotten a bit off on the schedule. Yesterday I enjoyed a rest, and this morning, I kicked boo-tay with plyo. I feel good. The finish line is just up ahead. I'm SO ready to be done and back in my running shoes.
I am starting the Body-for-Life-for-Women 12 week challenge on Wednesday next. The one that's in 3 days. Eh, you're smart enough to figure that out. I think I'll pick up a few new Jillian Michael's workouts to change up my strength training once I'm marathon training. I really can't wait until Christmas to look back at the last year and see how far I've come. It may sound a bit narcissistic, but I've worked hard enough to stroke my own ego a bit, amen?
I am feeling a strange apprehension amid my excitement, though. P90X sounded like an enormous, almost insurmountable, challenge when I started, and I can't help but let that uncertainty creep in when I think about the running that's ahead of me. It's hard for me to break new ground, but it seems like I've been successful with it all this year. God's given me a hell of a lot of strength.

Day 77: Shoulders/Biceps/Triceps
The soreness continues! I love it. I love the burn. I love the way I waddle when my entire lower half is screaming out in rebellion every time I need to move. I love how incredibly unsexy I feel. I'm being partially facetious and partially truthful. You can decide which is which.
I made it through about 3/4 of this today. Remember a while ago I popped something during this workout? I guess there is residual pain, and not the good kind. I could work around it mostly, but there were some moves where that just wasn't an option. Then there are some moves that aren't an option even without pain. Plyo pushups? I laugh in your general direction. Ha! Ha! Ha!
On a happier note, I got awesome running shoes yesterday. Let the marathon training commence. Well, you know, in a few days.

Day 76: Kenpo X
So, that bit I wrote yesterday about not being any worse for the wear? I spoke too soon. Oh, man, was I sore this morning! Kenpo's always a good time, but today it was a toughie. I made it through.
You faithful friends who have been reading for weeks and weeks know how much I love this workout. I was thinking about what exactly it is that I love most about Kenpo, and I realize that it's because there's not one part of it that I have to modify. There's no move that I dread. This DVD I can do from beginning to end, and I can keep up with everyone. Considering how confused I was the first few times I did this, this is huge. I don't know if I thank Tony or Wesley Idol. Both. Thanks, guys.
I am still sore, but I managed to put it out of my mind while actually working out. I dread every time I have to get up to go to the bathroom, though.
