You might have seen commercials for P90x, full of crazy sounds effects and killer rock music and a voice-over guy that sounds like a pro wrestler. I got the dvds for Ryan for Christmas, and am taking full advantage of them while it's way too cold go outside. It has only been day one of 90 days, and I am already dying!
The workouts are typically 45-60 minutes, and by the end you are so done with being motivated to "lunge, step, kickback, up, curl, press, down, and stand up straight" (one of the more technical moves). Sadie woke up from her nap right at the end, and I had trouble getting up the stairs to her! The general idea is that I will be in super shape for Laura's wedding (my younger sister), as I may have bridesmaiden (sp?) duties to fulfill.
Ryan has a little more difficulty dedicating a full hour in the day to exercising; he's smack dab in the middle of interviewing with firms for a summer clerkship. But he still finds time for pick-up and intramural basketball. It's been like a part-time job searching for a job, he says. Ryan has done extremely well his first semester, and he won't brag, so I will a bit. I'm incredibly proud of him! For all those wondering, I think this summer will keep us here in Omaha. Right now we're in the business of convincing potential employers that we want to be here. Ryan figures he has enough connection back to Arizona that we might do something there next summer. It's kinda fun not knowing, and we're both really happy with Omaha.
No cute pictures to post this time, sorry. Sadie is in such a happy stage right now, and it's been a blast to stay home with her. She's getting to a point where she'll actually pay attention when we read books, and notice things about them. She kinda has a "huh" for a "hi", and claps madly when we come get her from her crib in the morning or after naps.
I'm already feeling the soreness set in after sitting here and typing this post...

AH yes good ol' Tony Horton. "Do your best, forget the rest." Most workout video instructors I can't stand, but for some reason I find his self-loving ways hilarious. P90x is what got me to be able to do 3 deadhang chin-ups in a row and fit back into my prepregnancy clothes (maybe better than before). It really is such a good program for someone with a baby living in cold weather. Wait for ab-ripper. It will literally rip abs.
Michael Scott + White Goodman (Ben Stiller from Dodgeball) = Tony Horton.
Way to go Karen!!! Right now I am doing EA Active and so far so good. I am definitely seeing results - but not feeling quite so tired as I think I might with what you're doing. I think I needed the build up before really trying P90X. I didn't want to start it and realize there was no way in heck I could keep it up. Once I have conquered this I will move onto that. I am proud of you! Do you do it EVERY day? We are gonna be two hot mamas come May!! I'm excited to see you!
I love/hate Tony - Did P90x last January and still do the weight workouts and ab ripper with my running. The poor guy definitely has a thing for Dreya (blonde chick) but I don't know that she returns his affections. Good luck - you will see results for sure.
