Let's All Cheer for Adam, Okay Cheering's Over*

We're doing P90X Lean (Week 5, Day 2), and I can't believe that I'm still at it. I am getting to the point where I shout out all of Tony H's jokes before he says them (which is annoying to my husband); and it's starting to annoy me that I have to warm up for every cardio workout with a little yoga ... and I love Yoga! But not in my workout shoes. My mat looks like my dog used it for a chew toy.

I have noticed that my jeans are loose, which is great except for the fact that I have to hitch them up every few minutes so that the crotch isn't riding at my knees. I look like my Dad. He was the real impetus for Pants on the Ground.

What's not working for me: reading the recipe for vegan chocolate on Charlotte's website. It is so easy to make my four-year-old can do it - by himself. Yes, I made some with toasted coconut today. I don't keep Agave nectar, but I did have Pennsylvania Maple syrup. I only used 2 tsp. though. maple syrup is really sweet. I thought that I didn't have any sweets in the house, but with this recipe I do. Ugh.

News on the fridge is weird. We turned it off for a couple of days, but left it plugged in for the water filter. I turned it on for some reason and it works perfectly. So, we're okay for now, Whew! Also good: I still haven't taken the dorm fridge we were using out of the kitchen, so that's 3square feet that I don't have to vacuum every morning. And it looks so pretty sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor. Maybe I'll knit a cozy for it so no one will notice it.

Thanks, It's not as bad as you think, the difficulty is hyped up a bit - but the chest,shoulders & triceps is really hard for me because of all of the push-ups. Definitely something I need to work on.
Your blog is really inspiring for me as I try to make consistent healthy choices.

Am exhausted just reading about all this exercise! But seriously, am a bit jealous...

I'd go for crotch at the knees over undo top button anyday! We're going into Winter and I've already started putting on my Winter weight :-s
Cooking is not my forte so I never choose an easy recipe because if I fail at that then I feel REALLY useless,lol
To answer your query re using the spray gun... I had a few teething problems like the paint spluttering out but I think I fixed this by thinning it down a little more. I also discovered my compressor isn't munty enough but even with all that and the hassle of cleaning the gun after it was soooo much quicker and I would recommend it any day:-)
