This morning I realized that there is only one month to go before the 4th of July. Why is this a big deal for me? Because the 4th of July starts a month full of family events. Rodeos, BBQ's, Anniversary.... etc. Every year I try to look good for this month, and this year is no different. So, my number one priority is to get back on track with my workouts. I especially need to work my chest, back and shoulders... you know, the parts of the body that really show in a tank top!
The best workout for these muscles? Well, being a P90Xer I have to say there are two:
Chest and Back - consists mainly of push-ups and pull-ups
Shoulders and Arms - alternates between shoulders, biceps and triceps
I know that this is something I am constantly doing; picking an event or date that I want to look good for... and it really isn't a good thing because I should be sticking to a constant. At the same time I have to say that at least I am constantly wanting to look good!
So today I am going to take some 'Now' pictures and will post them tomorrow.... on July 3rd we will see what the 'Later' pics show.
UPDATE: Hubby came back from the Dr. with painkillers and an antibiotic. Doc thinks he has a bacterial infection behind the right ear (where there is an unexplained lump). Hubby goes back tomorrow for a follow up to see if the meds are working. Keep praying!
(Mom goes to WW tonight for her first weigh in... that will be revealed tomorrow too!)

goal dates are a good thing to have. I like back and biceps too ;).
Good for you, Tigerlilly!
One question: I have neck and back issues, so every time I try to do arm work-outs, I end up with headaches from the irritation to my neck. Know of any GENTLE ways to tone my upper body?
Glamour muscles indeedy! I was so excited simply to see my collarbone - imagine Terminator arms! Woohoo!!
I will definitely keep hubby in my prayers!!
best of luck on your goal and on your mom's first wi.
also hope your husbands meds take!
I'm with Rip - setting hard concrete dates are a pretty helpful thing. I've got one going right now, and it's helping me stay focused really well.
