Work, social and sickness have been the theme for the past 2 weeks keeping me from my px90 workout. I haven’t been sick, but everybody around me has been. I’m one of those new-age believers that thinking positive and never saying the words “I feel sick” or “I am getting sick” or “I am sick” will keep you from getting sick. I firmly believe (and I have 4 years experience) that if you delete these phrases from your daily life you will not get the seasonal cold/flu. If you do get sick you’ll never know because you’re never said “I am sick”. So what will happen… You’ll drink more water and OJ, you’ll be a little more tired, you’ll be weary to be around sick people and those that use the afore mentioned phrases. But you won’t get sick. So for the past 2 weeks I’ve been upping my immunity and battling other peoples sickness. Now that my working / social environment is healing my body can go back to DEFCON 5.

I’m restarting week 6 today, even though I’m sore as hell from snowboarding on Saturday. Yay me, I went boarding for the first time at Stratton Mt. At first I couldn’t even stand up, but by my last run I was able to make it down the largest bunny hill without falling. I was told by the two friends I went with that I did very well for my first day. Amazingly it isn’t my legs that are sore, it’s my neck, fore arms and wrists. I’m guessing that every time I fell I was bracing my neck (as to not hit my head… which i didn’t). The fore arms and wrists make sense, because every time I fell backwards I landing on my hands, then my ass (which is also very sore). My fore arms are rock solid and painful.

So I asked my mom for a pair of the Sport 5.0 PowerBlocks. As stated before, I need to buy 25 and 30lb dumb bells. Rather then spending 100 bucks on those, only to clutter my living room even more, which I don’t want to do, I decided to cash in my Christmas present. The PowerBlock is 150 cheaper than the bowflex dumbells. I’ll be sure to give a full review of these when I get them. I’m a little nervous that my weights will now be squares, but I guess weights are weights. I’m pretty excited to be able to get rid of my 5, 10, 15, 20 X 2 weights. That’s 8 weights I no longer have to  store or lug around when I move. They should be arriving soon, I hope this week.
