DAY THIRTYONE

Do you have a ticket?

At the end of the Back and Bicep workout - which I rocked this morning with my resistance bands - Tony (good ol' Tony) asked me (yes, I'm the only viewer) if I had a ticket - a ticket to the show... And then in the most tacky way - flexes his biceps and says "The iron show" or something like that. Ladies and gentlemen, there have been moments of eye-rollingness through this - but that takes the cake. No wonder this video isn't until Phase 2. If it was in Phase 1, people wouldn't have taken Tony, the fearless leader, seriously.

Luckily enough, I'm in Phase 2, and I feel like I know the guy. I know that we could never live together. He is way to anal and over organized. He has this vision of perfection that he views the world through and probably spends more on beauty products than I do in a year. And, he's super competitive. But, I respect him for all these things, because I know it's totally not me and I'll never be able to live that life. Go for it Tony.

Anyway - the video was good. I did it with resistance bands because I don't have heavy enough weights. That was alright for today, but I think I'm going to have to get at least 12lbs in weights. I want the challenge, and I find with the bands, it's too easy to let up with your personal resistance... I had put the hardest band through the stair railing for my pull-ups, but that would have been the better band to use today. Maybe next week I'll switch it up.

In other, non-related news, something quite wonderful happened today. I guessed the final Jeopardy answer knowing only the category. Authors. As soon as I saw it, I guessed Lewis Carroll and I was right. Hello??? Before it even came back from commercial, I guessed the correct response. Genius.

P90X is making me smarter. You heard it here first.

P.S. By reading that link on Wikipedia - or at least skimming it - I learned that Lewis Carroll invented Scrabble! Nix, B2X - are you reading this??
