What am I proud of today? The fact that I got out of bed at 5.30am to work out with the Paminator. Haven't had the chance to connect with her in over a year, so it was good to see her but I feel every muscle in my body except my toes at this point. Can't wait for tomorrow... I'm used to getting up early, but I have to get back into the groove of some 80lb chick kicking my rear end - Pam's hardcore, let me tell you! And I thank God for it. It's just what I need.
How about you? What are YOU proud of today?

For doing my P90X shoulders & arms + ab ripper X workout today... luckily I do these right after with a friend of mine or I wouldn't be doing so well. I need to get my priorities straight and make working out a primary... if we are not around nothing else matters...

dropped 8.2 lbs over the last 2 weeks and feeling good about it but a bit disappointed I expected with the change to my eating habits and doing p90x which is whipping my butt by the way.... I would have lost at least 10 and maybe a few more... On the bright side that is almost two bags of sugar gone! .... Tom
