No limits!

This is me & my cat working out...well, I'm working out.

Just when you think you can't do more with your workout, you realize that you CAN do chair dips with extra weight on your lap.  If you would have tried to put a 20 pound weight on my lap (hey, that cat of mine weighs 17 pounds!!), I would have told you 'no way'.  It's amazing what you can achieve when you don't put limitations on yourself!!  :)

Progress!!

Background...My husband and I have been doing P90X and we are in Phase 3 right now.  We do the pull ups and chin ups using the Chin-Up Max (it's a band that you use to help you) since there are so many in the routines.
Also, I've never done a chin up in my life (without assistance)...ever!
So, the other day, my husband did one and I was like - did you just use the "Chin-Up Max"?  And he responded with "no".  So, then I had to try one.  Lo and behold, I did one!  I started jumping up and down all excited!!!  I had to try it again - I did it again!!!  And then I did it again!!!  I did three in one day when I had never even done one.  I'm so thrilled!  I can't wait until I can do more.  I kind of want to go back to all of my old PE teachers and show them that I actually can do something.  :-P  The 39 year old version of me is way different than the 9 year old version - LOL!!!
