Amen, it's Friday!

Happy Friday Kittens!! 

How was your week? This week has been a BLUR I tell ya. Seriously! When you fly to Vegas from Chicago, there is a 2-hour time difference and a 4-hour flight. So it basically takes up a whole day to get here. And then this whole time I'm like, "What day is it?" Especially because you never really leave the hotel, you don't see outside and really know what time of day it is.....freaky and bizarre. And most of Vegas is also the antithesis of health and wellness. Most people are here to party and SO ON- there is gambling, smoking and drinking at all hours of the day!! So freaky. 

On the other hand, this was a great conference, and I did get to see my bestie Laura, so that's always good. I haven't gotten to see Miss Vegas Sassypants Danielle (remember she was a vlog guest a month ago?) but hopefully that will happen before I go. 

Anyway, this week I did very well on eating healthy and getting my sleep, I give myself a C though on workouts. As I mentioned, my plan was to arrive Tuesday night and workout prior to dinner. By the time I arrived in my room it was 5pm, and by the time I unpacked and such it was 5:30-5:45pm and I was exhausted and hungry. I chose to have a sensible dinner and get some rest for the next day. The next day I did my HIIT workout plus Tony Horton's One on One. OMG. People. Tony Horton is flipping amazing. That man has made up so many unique insanely awesome killer workouts- a large portion of these require NO equipment and some will require only a band or a medicine ball. 

I. Want. To. Have. His. Baby. 

WHAT?

I did the Road Warrior Workout (from Volume one or two, not sure)and it ROCKED my face off. Although I'm a bit annoyed by how the bands bruised my arms when I did overhead presses and squats. Any ideas?? And of course, yes, you can order P90X, Tony Horton's One on Ones or any other kick butt workouts on my BeachBody site by CLICKING HERE.

Also, take a peek at Amy's new vlog today, where you can see her working out in her new basement "Home Gym" with Matt Damon. He is hard core. Notice how he gets a little Boot Camp Drill Sargent when your form is off- that is what is awesome about great trainers- noticing the details. 

NOTE! Speaking of working out on the road, or working out at home, and getting a great workout in without a gym membership- Sears(R) Fit Club is offering 20% off all fitness accessories through January 3rd, 2011!! WOOT! Not to mention 50% off a NordicTrack stepper- check it out at Facebook.com/SearsFitClub. Not too shabby. 

On that note, I just noticed what time it is and how early I have to get up tomorrow- a lovely full day of traveling HOME to Chicago tomorrow. OY. But enjoy my brief vlog below, shot in my hotel room. I was rushed, cuz for me to talk in under 5 minutes is always a challenge. 

QUESTION OF THE DAY: How often do you train core?

Awww..but I enjoyed the boobs in the camera...LOL
Your arms are looking awesome girl!

You know, my nails are actually growing quite well on their own right now. They started growing really well after the first 3-6 months of not drinking...then when I was getting ready for the comp and doing that severe diet they totally went yucko; but now that I'm eating normal and healthy-they are growing nicely. Just throwing it out there. Healthy food, healthy bod, healthy nails! ;-0
cheers!

Oh..LOVE Monica!

I'm getting P90X in a few weeks! My sister got if for me. I can't wait to try it.

I train my core once maybe twice a week. I'm lucky that I stay leaner in that area. Now I should be training my butt 7 x's a week LOL!!

You're just lucky I'm already married...one less woman to fight over him ;-)
I wonder if he is married??

Amy-can you believe how I compressed myself?? Verbally at least! LOL Can't wait to see you and take one step closer to our Six-Pack. Julie, I'm pretty sure T-Man is single. He's just been waiting for me. Seriously I believe this. ;-)
Rae Rae I wish my nails would grow but they are wimpy mushy thin nails. ;-)
April , you will LOVE P90X!!!

Kelly - you forgot to tell us about the two hands needed for your pipes!!!
I think Tony is single - and you shoud go for it - I mean, it's only for a month or so...I can deal with that!!!!
I have a friend that was at his house. TRUE STORY. He's very particular...you know like, don't touch the walls, everything lined up in the closet "just so" and he has a thing for shoes...
