Double Digits! (Day 10 0f 90)

Today I worked on buffifying my arms and shoulders. I did the same number of reps for each move as I did last week, but I increased the weight. I was definitely feeling it!

But there is nothing like the abdominal workout. Every other workout on these DVDs is a walk in the park compared to Ab Ripper X. Wow. I did better than last week, but I am still a far cry away from being able to do all 300+ moves. Someday!

So, for the past year I have had an Outlook reminder pop up on my screen everyday at 11:30am that simply says, "You are fat." The idea was that it would inspire me to get my behind into action and workout. Simple, direct, self deprecating. It had all the elements for motivation, no? Well, aside from the months over the summer when I was jogging and doing CrossFit, most of the time when that "You are fat" notice popped up I had done nothing - and planned to do nothing - to change it (my fatness, that is). So, "you are fat" would pop up and I'd click the "dismiss" button with varying emotions. Sometimes I'd feel guilty, sometimes I'd feel disappointed in myself, sometimes I was just annoyed... you get the picture. And there always seemed to be a lot of symbolism in "dismissing" the fact that I was fat. Well, all that has changed! Now everyday I'm working out like crazy and feel damn good about it. Now I close that reminder everyday with a sense of pride and maybe a little bit of "take that, you naggy Outlook reminder bitch!"

Tomorrow is Yoga. But instead of doing the P90X Yoga I am substituting Fountain of Youth Yoga - All the yummy yoga you've come to expect from Tony Horton in half the time. Sweet! Or so I hear. We shall see tomorrow!
