Doubles today... and oh my, what an ass kicker it was! The good news? I've actually found an ab workout that does the trick, but also is not as unpleasant as Ab Ripper X from P90X. Shaun's Cardio Abs workout was great! Not a single crunch, but totally felt worked out! That washboard tummy seems like it might be within reach... and in just the right light, sometimes I think I can even see it!
I downplay Mr. Horton a lot, but I will say this much for him -- he not only developed a system that I really liked once upon a time, but the stupid little bits of encouragement he would stick into his videos do have a way of staying with you. For example, I saw that I didn't burn as many calories as I thought I did after I was done with Pure Cardio and wondered if I had dogged it... no, I know I hadn't. Sure enough, there was Tony Horton saying "Do your best and forget the rest!" in my mind. He also said stuff about quality over quantity.... and today that helped, because no matter what the heart-rate monitor may say in the end, I know I am pounding this out as best as I can.
Funny... as much as my mind can be my own worst enemy in situations like this, it's also my best support too at times.
Anyway, I'm feeling good. My buddy has a birthday in Nashville and I am getting in the car for a good drive and a good time very soon. Mr. Page's zig-zag plan says it's cheat-day so I am pretty much doing what I want for meals, but I am wanting to be sensible.... well at least until the birthday cake appears! haha!
Peace OUT!
