DAY FIFTY SEVEN

And welcome back to our regularly scheduled program...

Chest and back this morning - just like Day 1... But oh, how improved thou art! I did all of my push-ups from my toes, thank you very much! And - for my standard push-ups (2 rounds) I did 20! From my toes. I was proud of myself. I challenge you to find someone else on my block at 5:30 this morning who was as proud of themselves as I... When I got to some of the other types of push-ups, not such a hero, but - the tip of the day was - do your best and forget the rest. And that's what I did. Thanks Tony. (Good ol Tony!)

I have also decided that next Monday, when I have to do Chest & back again, I'm going to use the pull up bar that I have put up in the living room for that purpose. (Not as a clothes rack like my sister and brother-in-law believe it's there for...)

At lunch today, I went to see my former trainer, T. She has a co-op student working with her right now, so, they both interviewed me to find out all about P90X. It was interesting to recap my experience and to answer various questions about the program. I felt like I passed the test... not like there really was one... but I think I left them curious to learn more for themselves. T also liked my long-range plan, so I'm glad she's onside too. And she's also impressed that I'm down 13 lbs! She and I have struggled before to get me to lose this much, so she knows how great this is. Good times.

So, only 7lbs to go until Goal #1. And only 33 days left of program #1.
