An Extra Day to Make It Count

Happy Extra Day in February everyone! I know it's been awhile. I'm sorry if you were experiencing any symptoms of withdrawals (crying yourself to sleep, insomnia, depression, anxiety, etc). As it happens sometimes, life got busy. I recently got a new job (woot!) and am starting in a week and a half. I am so excited.

As for fitness, I am ashamed to admit that not much has been done on this front.  No excuses - just lazy. Last week we repeated week 3 of P90X since Jay felt that we kind of slacked the week before. This week is cardio - no weight lifting. So far, Jay and I have done some rock climbing at the gym and a few hundred jumping jacks, but that's about it. Womp, womp, womp. On a side note, I really enjoy rock climbing, despite the fact that I have only made it once to the top and it was on the easiest climb. I mean, kids age 5 (maybe even younger) were smoking me. It's a total body workout and I am sweating within seconds. It's a nice change from the norm - treadmill, stairmaster, elliptical (BORING!). I also ordered a jump rope through Amazon (I needed something else to bump up my order to $25 so I could avoid shipping costs). I should be getting it next week and I'm really excited. I forgot how much fun jump roping is. Now, if I could only get the hubs to love it as much as I do...

In my previous post, I mentioned that I bought the Body by Vi shakes. I got it in the mail and unofficially started this past Sunday. I saw unofficially because I have been having a hard time keeping to the 2 shakes a day they tell you to have. I told myself I would give it a couple of months and if I'm unsatisfied, I will stop. The powder is not so bad and the shakes I have been making taste pretty good. But the frozen fruit I buy for the shakes are costly. I am going to have to go to Costco soon and see if they sell what I'm looking for. I am hoping that I can really buckle down and "officially" start the shakes next week.

OK, that's it for me folks. Sorry for the shortness but again, not much to report. Le sigh. Today is an extra day to make it count! Happy Workout Everyone!
