Green Monster + Maxi Max Extreme

This morning I woke up feeling well rested for a change. Love Sunday mornings! It is a beautiful one in Tampa too.


11:50pm: egg and seriously sharp cheddar cheese English muffin

So good I wanted seconds.

After breakfast we relaxed and watched Roswell Season 2. Then Marcel left for band practice. I got the bright idea to make a healthy snack/lunch...

2:00pm: 1/2 Green Monster, shot of Jus

• frozen banana
• fresh spinach
• Amazing Grass packet
• ground organic flax
• original Almond Breeze

I had to get myself to step away from the computer and get active before the day was gone. Trying to figure out which workout I want to do is hard when I have so many choices. As I was putting DVDs away I found the Master Copy of Maxi Max Extreme! Last time I attempted this workout was on Day 50 of my 60-day 2009 Challenge in February. Today I did the entire standing section (with a few extra water breaks)!!! I really could have continued onto the floor, but just the standing routine is 1 hour and 34 minutes! Great workout, let me tell you. The form tweaks are excellent. The pace is varied; mostly moderate, with some slow spots and some faster spots. I like how this workout "mixes it up" and you feel like you're working out at an actual event. It's great!

Maybe Tuesday, I'll do Maxi Max Extreme Basic Workout + Maxi Max Extreme Floor. Probably one of the better workouts to prepare me for Safety Harbor Retreat workouts since it was filmed at the 2007 Retreat.

4:00pm: 1/2 Green Monster


I'm off to brush, shower and start the laundry.


5:10pm: red delicious apple with crunch peanut butter

6:15pm: a few Snapea Crisps

I ate more than that, but though I'd show you how cute they are.
Roxy really wants one!

6:30pm: Egg Foo Yummy

7:50pm: slice of birthday cookie

More Roswell Season 2! It's getting so good. Love what they've done with this season.

JOURNAL
10 days and counting. I haven't measured since Day 1 - and kind of scared to. Since I haven't put my all into this Challenge, I'm not expecting to get it all out of it (one can only dream of the miracle workout that works without actually doing it). You only reap what you sow, right?

Tonight I saw the Maxi Max Extreme preliminary copy (filmed at the 2007 Retreat). I've been meaning to do it, so popped it into the DVD player, slapped on my workout gear and went at it. T-o-u-g-h to say the least. I made it through Runner's Stretch (done the Ladybug way) - which was about an hour if you count all my water breaks. I think everyone is really going to like this one! It's more of a smooth pace, but you feel like you're live at a fitness event with Teresa. She makes you hold the form when correcting a few in the crowd, but in the long run that's what will make your muscles quiver to get you the results you crave. I might try doing the second half of it tomorrow (or the next day).

Looking through my T-Tapp collection I thought: I could really do a different T-Tapp workout every single day for an entire month. Maybe doing a portion of a workout here and there (like TLB standing for one full workout, one day off with BPT and then TLB floor the next day for another full workout, etc, etc. There are so many combinations to do - how could I get bored? So I'm going to try that for a little while and see how it works for me. It will be a constant challenge, that's for sure.
