Week 5 of my P90x Challenge - Do I proceed, Switch to Insanity or fit-in Hip-hop Abs?

 5th week of my P90x Challenge started yesterday and I just can't wait for the spring to come...(looking forward to staying at the Yatch Club and then off we go to Delray Beach!)

Gotta have some fun, soon!

You know me, I believe that,
"Every second, every minute, every hour is an important moment in your life!" - jf



 The 5th week is similar to the first week except that there are 2 new DVDs: Chest and Back is now Chest, shoulders and triceps; The Shoulders and Arms is now Back abd Biceps!

Over the weekend, I met my dear friend's girlfriend. They were over for dinner and to my surpise, there's actually someone I now know that finished the P90x challenge. Funny thing, she thinks the P90x challenge is not that intense and now I am intrigued in trying a new DVD from beachbody.com : INSANITY!





Of course, the next night I checked out the link and I now I have a dilema:

Do I complete and see my P90x challenge to completion, or do I switch to this new intense 60-day challenge called INSANITY, or do I proceed with P90x and just add Hip-hop Abs!

(Why Hip-hop abs? First of all, I already have the DVDs and it's the same trainer from INSANITY!)

For now, I'm sticking with my P90x challenge and just mixing it up with some Hip-hop abs over the weekend, just for fun!"


This week, I also have to concentrate on writing, writing, and writing...

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha


"Such as thy words are, such will thine affections be esteemed;
  and such as thine affections, will be thy deeds;
  and such as thy deeds will be thy life" - Socrates

How about you, what are you up to?

    As you wrote in your blog about "wisdom from an 8 yo", you have to honor your commitment and finish the P90X challenge - Don't make yourself nuts "INSANITY" by going into another program.
    Love you honey, Mom

    I say stick it out with P90X. You can start Insanity after or you can even do what I am going to do which is make a P90X/Insanity hybrid workout. They really are 2 very different program.

    Ever consider turning your passion for fitness into a business. We market Beachbody products and help others get started. Look me up for more info or you can visit http://www.earncashwithinfomercials.com

    @Pam, enjoy!
    @Mom, I decided not to go INSANE!
    @ILoveP90x, I am definitely sticking it out with P90x.

Completed my first 16 Week IsaBody Challenge: Believe You Have A Purpose

My family is what matters most to me.  I’m 51 and a mother of 4 (ages 14 – 26). I wanted to be healthier, more active and stronger not just for me, but for the people I love.  I wanted to set an example for my family that we each possess the tools to master our wellness and vitality. I've always been petite except when I was pregnant ( when I gained an average of 50 pounds per pregnancy - 4 times!) Over the years I had tried various diet and exercise regimens, and I did enjoy a degree of success, but the results were not to the level I hoped for, and they were somewhat short lived.   Achieving stable, long-lasting results proved stubbornly elusive.    Then when I hit menopause everything became more difficult.    My body stopped cooperating altogether, and I was constantly grumpy. My waist and hips expanded and I found myself napping in the afternoons.    I started to accept the idea that there would be this new, less vibrant ...

SPICE-up a young child's development: social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional

Children are the precious gems of a family. When they’re young and innocent, they are like sponges that willingly and quickly absorb any knowledge and emotion. That’s why at an early age, we encourage our children to read, be creative, be happy and feed their curiosity. With all the technology and instant gratification that children get from playing video or computer games, asking a child to read a good book has been a challenge for some parents .     “Your children are not your children.       They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.       They come through you but not from you,       And though they are with you, and yet they belong not to you.       You may give them your love but not your thoughts,        For they have their own thoughts.        You ma...

Immigration and Family: Will my mom ever get to see my daughter walk down the aisle

Last year when my father passed away in the Philippines, I went home and took some time to visit the U.S. Embassy in Manila to ask what the options are for my mother to return to the U.S. The consul reminded me of the 10-year travel ban. That on or after November 8, 2015 — not earlier – or 10 years after my mom, was deported in 2005 for overstaying her visa, I can email the U.S. Embassy and inquire about my mother’s approved petition. I asked if I need to file another petition, and she informed me I didn’t have to. I asked if I could… and she stopped me and said to ask everything on or after November 8, 2015. This is where I am, and where my thoughts are drifting as I celebrate this month my 16th American birthday. I am counting the months, the weeks and the days. My daughter is getting married in January 2016 and I would love to have my entire family, especially my mother, to be here when that momentous occasion happens.

Helping others surpass their goals and expectations

"It's not about the end goal. It's who you become by consistently pushing to the edge of your limits." - Robin Sharma Do you ever wonder why you stumble on new things?  Do you ever wonder why unsuspecting strangers cross your path? Do you ever wonder why your mind takes you to a direction you didn't think exist? I was walking to StarBucks to meet my husband when I noticed a sign...

Still shaky, skidded in snow, but so blessed my guardian angels are looking after me!

"Never again wonder, what to be thankful for..."   - Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life It’s yet another snowy day in New Jersey. Beautiful, yes but dangerous! In line with my goal for this month is to get back on schedule. I got up around 4am to get my 15yo ready for his Model United Nations conference. (Thankful that our neighbor offered to drive him to school by 5:30am ) I got my 9yo ready for school and I'm thankful that my other neighbor offered to drive him to school. I then drove my husband to the train station to Manhattan. I decided to stop by the Community Center and decided to run a fast 5K on the treadmill. I was 1 mile short because I was so sweaty and hot. (Note to self: dress lightly next time) While cooling down inside the car, I read Day 14’s chapter of Rick Warren's the “Purpose Driven Life” book. I felt really good because it just reminded me that there is always something to be thankful for no matter how awful yo...
