My last feature story actually won me an i-Pad! I feel so blessed, thank you God.

Oh la la it felt great to hit on the bag last night, and a tough workout. I actually tried some of my kicks too but none were photo worthy. I'll keep working on that one, I can't kick with my right foot since my toenail is still messed up. Ouch!

Plan of Action Boxing Workout

I looove scarves!

Last night my client returned from Japan, and brought me a fabulous Orange scarf! (pics tomorrow) I was shocked its so wonderful and she did not know how much I love Orange. She also got me a shirt but it was a bit snug as we know how tiny they are in that country, and I laughed when she said I thought you could wear a large. Not with this big back, not going to happen lol.

I got in a walk at lunch in 100 degrees and it felt wonderful, I saw a blue butterfly and jammed on some Zumba music.

Moving on.......away from the candy dish!

Yesterday I finished my double workout, Kenpo in the morning and after work Yoga class burning 133 cals. I came in with a total calorie blast of 504 for the day....wow!

That means Thursday was Day 3 (Kenpo) & 4 (Yoga X) workouts leaving today as Day 5 Cardio X.

But this morning after staying up late and finishing the curtain project I did not do a workout. Tired T.

Good news is that I did a 3 mile run at lunch, and the basement looks FABULOUS!!!

I took the before and after pictures (without the art work) and will post those this weekend, and ask for opinions. Now I have to sell that little antique dresser and I will have the space I need to start training Heavy bag boxing for women.

I will take my stats this weekend, and wrap up P90X for the year posting all changes made.
