P90X 1st day of week 4 Core Synergistics, measurements and updated picture!

Wow! I have to say that the last 3 weeks of P90X have been hard but so awesome (despite the yoga, but I am getting there on the yoga).Today is day 1 of week 4 and it is also the very first time I have ever done Core Synergistics. I have to say out loud “OH MY @%*L! I loved it, even though I dripped sweat all over my stinking mat, and it was seriously the work out that tested me big time.Going back a few days:

I took the P990X workouts with me on mine and my husband’s romantic weekend getaway because I was NOT going to stop doing them. It is way too easy to stay stopped. My hubby was not on the P90X welcome wagon with me so I knew I would be doing this myself.

I woke up the first morning (Saturday) and he basically watched me do one. The next morning he decided to do the Kenpo work out with me and he LOVED it!

We then ventured to wal-mart and I found a pull up bar there for $20 and he is like “we should get this.” Me: “uh OK.” So now I have a pull-up (and have yet to do 1 but working on it).
He was excited and we have worked out doing the P90X every day together since. I have to wait until 9pm at night so he can work out with me, but I tell you, I sleep like a baby afterwards and it is awesome to have someone to work out with.

I have always wanted him to work out with me and it was this time he wanted to, because I did not bug him or push him into it, he just wanted to!

Now to the present:
