CST- Sounds like a Sandwich

:::Disclaimer:::
Hi! This is week 5, a week late, ahh!! Whoops. We disappeared for awhile; we're sorry. What we failed to realize, since we don't actually own the entire P90X package of instructions/materials, since copies of the dvds magically manifested themselves in our possession, is that you do 3 weeks of workouts, take the 4th week for "rest," i.e. yoga x, core synergistics, ab ripper (grrrr) and x-stretch. Well, we didn't do any of that during our "week off" (01/26-31). I did my own thing, for the record; Ju did her own thing. Kinda sorta, sorta kinda. And then week 5 (02/02-07)  tra -la- la-dee-da'd its way back into our lives, but..I hurt my neck during Monday vball I don't want to talk about it; Ju got busy. So we took another week off. Tony, don't hate us!! But to my credit, I did do a few of the old workouts as makeups, once I was feeling okay.

Also, I was supposed to write about some of our last workouts, but I forgot. Then Julie forgot. But it's too late now, we're moving on!!

Oh, p.p.s. we're solo adventure again today, maybe all week. Snow storms. Don't want to drive. Too lazy to try getting home from each others' houses :-/

Week 5, Day 1- I hate everyone

Do you remember each, first day of our first three weeks? The pushup parade? Theeeey're baaaaack. !!@#%^&.  CST- Chest, Shoulders, Triceps. It sounds like a sandwich; I'd have much rather been EATING ONE. CST, an evil, evil group of exercises that, girlfriend, messes with the little brain in your muscles that shrieks, "AHHH!!! What is this?! I just mastered an  hour of straight pushups each week!! More? I have to do more, with one arm? Did you just say one arm, Tony?! Did you just say I have to crawl side to side, doing pushups?! Wait, Fly-pushup? Fly-pushup, sliding along the floor with my hand on a plate, during pushing motion? Did I hear that I have to do 4 mac speed pushups, followed by 3 agonizingly slow ones, 10 times?!!!?! And then..you know, just as many tortuously slow ones as I can do in one sitting??!?!?! And then some funkadiddle, hands -pointing- out, chest -flung-forward, raise- your -upper-back -onthewayup- pushup invention? What IS that? All of this in between sets of crazy, side bend tri-raises, standing fly-row-military press-reverse curl combos, chair dips......." My muscles are very vocal, no big deal. Kinda like me. There were more exercises, but I'm having a physical reaction as I try to write it all out. My abs got a little x'd out, too, but the arms/shoulders are doing enough talking for the both of them.

 I'm not feeling very cocky anymore. Gosh, I could really go for a big, juicy BLT right now...

Love,
The Hungry Secretary

p.p.p.s No pics. Can't take my own pictures mid-"plyometric pushup." :-o!!
