Still lurking after all these years (my ode to Simon)

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! I've been on the sidelines starting and stopping rotations, not getting enough sleep and really overworked and stress out. Got great news in May that my horrible manager was moving back to the corporate office, good riddance to bad rubbish, he was really awful and destroyed the atmosphere are working environment, I almost quit (everyone on our team was looking to get out) and this economy that would have been scary. Happily his replacement seems great, so much of an improvement that we are all willing to hang on and see if it's real - LOL.

Anyway, a few months back I decided to try P90X, while I think it's a good kit overall I didn't have room to do Tony's Superman and Banana moves and the yoga....all that bleeping yoga, I'm sure you've all hear that there is a 90 minute routine, for someone not fond of yoga that was something I couldn't overcome. By month 2 I found myself subbing out the routines I didn't like and skipping ALL of the even minor yoga moves. So I returned the entire kit.

Now I'm no quitter so what could I do, well, the original P90 of course! so today I start a new 90 day journey. I have to give myself some credit, even though I don't like the way I look outside, I'm stronger and more fit than before so I'll have to do an AM routine and P90 in the evenings, sleep and proper eating are important too so after this post I'm signing off and getting ready for bed.

I'm going to try and be more a part of discussions, with my new manager I expect my workload to lighten up.Below is what I did last week, it would have been my last week of P90X

know how I let almost two weeks go by but hopefully some of the craziness in

P90 Fat Burning Express

Decided to pass on today's

workout since I'm starting P90 tomorrow. I'm glad to say that the 2 months of

P90X really made me stronger. I was able to do the plyo moves all week with

no fussing from my knees.
