P90X or Insanity

I have tried both P90X and Insanity and I prefer P90X. Now, to be fair, I didn't do all of the Insanity workout where I did finish P90X.

Yesterday I commented to Steve, "I find it amazing that I workout as much as I do yet I still have a big stomach." He still hasn't figured out what he "should" try to solve and when he "should" just agree with me. This was one of those times that he tried to solve it in a helpful suggestion of, "You have to watch what you eat" Not helpful! I told him how he should have responded and we started over. I again said, "I find it amazing that I workout as much as I do and I still have a big stomach." To which he responded, "It is amazing." Right response! Quick learner.

When I did P90X, I really noticed a difference in my body. With Insanity I believe my cardiovascular system is healthier. But since I still get winded going up three flights of stairs, I think I would prefer to see the difference. So I am going back to P90X. The bummer with P90X is that you need equipment. Insanity has shorter workouts, which I like, and no equipment. I also wasn't in pain for a week when I started Insanity. With P90X I moaned whenever I moved for the first week. Am I really ready to do that to myself again? Here's hoping that my body will quickly bounce back to the P90X shape it was in.

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

The Party

Last night I went to Allison's (sis in-law) batchlorette party. It was at a mexican restaurant/bar. It was a very crowded place so we weren't able to get a big table all together. Allison and her girl friends were at one table and the old folks (me and others) were at our own table (feeling awkward). Allison showed up at the place drunk already, from a bit too many drinks in the limo. I thought it would be embarrassing to be around your mother in-law to-be and your grandmother in-law to-be, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Allison wasn't a bad drunk really. She was a little loud, but not obnoxious. I felt old. I had a new dress on, but I ended up looking like an old lady instead of a young thing. I had some nice shoes on too. But my purse, which looked fine at home, turned into an old lady purse. It was also cold out, so I had a shawl. I'm glad I had it but it just added to the old lady look. I don't drink for two reasons. First, I am che...
