P90X Lean--Final Week & Wrap Up

Monday: Yoga--skipped Tuesday: Core Synergistics Wednesday: Plyometrics--skipped Thursday: Stretch Friday: rest, actually out playing with friends Saturday: Yoga Sunday: Cathe's Step Blast First--I DID IT! I completed three months of P90X Lean. I started on December 26 and finished on March 29. Weight: lost 7 pounds Waist: lost 2 inches Hips: lost 2.25 inches I missed three workouts total in the whole time. I am more than thrilled with that since two of them were this week and the other was in my second recovery week. I never missed a workout during the training weeks. I even doubled up when I was sick. Working out a mandatory six days a week for at least an hour is a HUGE commitment for me. Thoughts on the program: I LOVED IT! It is as hard and challenging as you make it. If you push yourself every single workout, you will see a difference. I definitely gained a lot of strength during this program. When I started I really wanted to get better at push ups and tric...

Challenges 2009--Update

I can check a big Challenge off my list as of today: I finished P90X Lean earlier this afternoon. I'll post more about my results and thoughts tomorrow(after a final weigh in and measurements). I have also made a dent in a couple of other Challenges: **Do something for each of the Project Spectrum Compass Points(post on that Tuesday about my "green"). **If I blog for the next two days, I will have 2 of the 3 months finished in my yearly goal of blogging for three total months. Which leaves me ample time to get another month in. **I am almost finished with Provence Sampler--hopefully by the end of April.

Question

Color? -or- Black and White? You can't say neither. I know that chart may not be everyone's cup of tea but I LOVE it. I just don't know which I love more; although I'm leaning towards black and white. While you're at it check out all her charts , she's by far my favorite HAED artist.

I'm not telling you what it is yet, because I'm not entirely sure that I'm going to keep going with it. It's made with Socks that Rock and it's not a sock or a Barn Raising square. More to come. . .

You Are Coffee You are highly ambitious and goal oriented. You feel like there isn't enough time in your day to get it all done. You are outgoing and creative. You love talking with people, thinking up crazy plans, and then acting immediately on them. When it comes to caffeine, you'd like a refill. You can almost always use an energy boost. Life is too short. You're going to get as much out of it as you can. You live for today. Are You Coffee or Tea?

I have been plugging away at Provence Sampler. Here's how far I've gotten: **clickable thumbnail if you want to see a larger version** I had to frog and restitch G through O on the smaller alphabet because it was slightly off. I'm finished with the alphabets and now I just have the bottom border and the numbers to go. Hopefully I can get done in the next couple of weeks.
