WOW!! I can’t believe how fast my weekend went!
So Friday was pretty much the slowest day of my life…it was one of those days where I was just counting down the minutes until the end of the day…and then of course, at the end of the day that’s when EVERYTHING went wrong!!! I left work late but then I had to do the deposit still, so I wasn’t OFFICIALLY done work until about 5 pm (when I am usually done at 4:30)…then when I went to drive home traffic was BEYOND backed up!! We were supposed to meet some friends for dinner at 6, but there was no way I was going to make it, so I got them to pick up the husband and meet me downtown…it worked out great because I wasn’t waiting very long for them in the end!!
Anyway, then Danny and I went home and watched “Quantum of Solace” (which we bought right after dinner!) and took it easy for the night!!
Saturday morning Danny was working overtime and I went to work out with my friends. We did the P90X Yoga video and OH MY GOD! Seriously!!! Yoga is supposed to be relaxing right??? After the first 45 minutes (it was 90 minutes) I thought I was going to die…and I was disgustingly drenched in sweat and I didn’t think I could do anymore! Thank goodness that was when the video slowed down into balance positions…SO much better!! There were a couple that I couldn’t do (the crow?? – I think – and complete shoulder stands…but that’s something I want to work towards!). Anyway, I felt SO good afterwards!!!
Anyway, so the rest of Saturday was pretty laid back, I hung out with my friend and we made cookies! Yum!! I did OKAY on Saturday (except I had a couple cookies and we did take out for dinner…but still, I had a small loss on Sunday morning!)
Then yesterday when we finally got up (we were up until about 3am Sunday morning!) we met our friends for another p90 video! It was the chest and shoulders video (I THINK!) and it was pretty tough….I couldn’t do push ups or a few other things, so I modified and took breaks when needed, I felt AWESOME afterwards (though I was VERY sore later from that and yoga the day before!) and then I did really good overall yesterday!!
I love that feeling that your week is just off to a fantastic start and that you really CAN do it!!!
AND another bit of news from the weekend…I am a bridesmaid again!!!! It is for the wedding that I am emceeing in August and I get to do double duty!!! I already picked out my dress and I will be ordering it this week (just to make sure it comes in on time!) and I am IN LOVE with the dress, so I am super excited!!! The P90 workouts we are doing are with the bride and groom, the maid of honor and one of the groomsmen so we are all super motivated to be a fabulous looking bridal party!!!

I am the “MC (Master of Ceremonies)” or “emcee” – noun. However, I AM “emceeing” – verb. Therefore how I wrote it was correct.

If you are curious.

Check you out P90Xing!! It must be sooo much better to do it with friends!! That would probably help make the time go better.
i am so proud of you gettng that far into the yogax video. I did NOT like it at all, and before I messed up my wrist I had decided to do Stretch X instead of yogaX.

how many times have you been a bridesmaid now?

I find that the relaxation part of most yoga practice comes “after” you’re all done
I normally struggle through many of the poses (although getting better every day 
) and I’ve only ever done the half shoulder stand using a wall (not quite brave enough to do it without)!
Thanks for that comment on the “emcee” thing because I was curious about that myself, having seen it written both ways
