Jump! Jump!

Hi ladies and gents! I've lost my mojo. I was totally pumped to write this post this morning but the excitement has waned. Womp womp womp. But I'll persevere for your sake! Yesterday was Day 2 of P90X. Not many things fill me with dread more than the word "PLYOMETRICS". Plyometrics is more commonly known as jump training - probably because you're pretty much jumping in each move. Jay and I went to the gym at 8 last night and were happy to see one of the studio rooms was empty so we had a ton of (much needed) space. This is us pre-workout:

Aww, don't we look so happy? Those smiles quickly faded once we got through the first group (of 5). Each group consisted of 4 moves that had to be done for 30-60 seconds. We needed to do two sets of each. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but imagine jumping for a good hour straight...After the first group, my lungs were BURNING! It didn't help that I was still sore from Monday's workout. But we pushed through and finished the entire workout. Here we are post-workout:

Look at those forced smiles...and Jay's sweat made a heart. How disgustingly sweet. You can't tell from the pic but my face is beet red at this point. Here's a picture of my sweat:

Didn't want to see that? Oops, my bad. Well, it doesn't seem like that much sweat but my sports bra is the Bounty of sports bras. And most of my sweat gets stuck in my hair. OK, that was probably more than you needed to know about my sweat tendencies...

Today, every inch of me hurts. This morning the hubby and I got up, despite the fact that we went to sleep around midnight, at 5:30 to hit the gym. I am having dinner with my lovely friend Lizzy so a post-work workout was not in the cards We did Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms. I decided not to take pictures to spare your eyes because we were looking rough this morning. Dark circles, puffy eyes, and messy hair. Not a pretty picture. We were able to get the whole thing in a little over half an hour. Yay for being efficient! My calves are especially tight today so at lunch I decided to take a 2 mi walk around the office. This spring weather is making me long for summer. 

Oh, and the "time to look great in a bikini" countdown is on. Jay has booked our honeymoon trip for June to Turks and Caicos. Even more motivation to slim it down :-)

Happy Workout Folks!
