Ok.\u00a0 I lied.\u00a0 My Core Synergistics blog <\/a>from a few weeks ago was NOT the final word from me on Core Synergistics.<\/p>\n

This is.<\/p>\n

I’m still plugging away on this end with P90X.\u00a0 But I ended up taking\u00a0several days off last week to go visit my mom for her 75th birthday (Happy Birthday, Mom!).\u00a0 So I’m re-winding the clock and am putting myself back at 4 more weeks to go.\u00a0 During this Final Push, I’m gonna give it my all.\u00a0 My new plan is to cut back my running to ONCE a week.\u00a0 On the P90X “day off” (when I could “rest” [pssst!\u00a0 Tony’s version of “resting” is to do his 65 minute X-Stretch video]),\u00a0I’m gonna run.\u00a0 And other than that, I’m putting running on the back burner and going full-bore with Tony Horton Crazy Town the other 6 days-of-the-week.<\/p>\n

(Oh – and I finally got a pull-up bar.\u00a0 I think that’s gonna help.\u00a0 The stretch band was nice and all, but I suspect using it around the leg of the pool table wasn’t giving\u00a0me the same results as ACTUALLY DOING PULL-UPS!)<\/em><\/p>\n

But I digress.\u00a0 Back to our favorite topic of Core Synergistics (which is a made-up phrase, btw.\u00a0 Made up by the voices in Tony’s head.).\u00a0 It occurred to me in this Final Push,\u00a0that if I could just get him to\u00a0stop nattering on and on during the\u00a0lost 57 minutes of my day, it would be sooooo much better.\u00a0 I mean, really, Tony.\u00a0 Just ZIP IT!<\/p>\n

And what to my wondering eyes should appear?\u00a0 But this nifty little feature Tony offers on his dvd’s\u00a0wherein I can select\u00a01)Normal, 2)Music Off, 3)Music & Cues and 4) Silence & Cues.<\/p>\n

Apparently I’m not the only one who likes to exercise with Tony when Tony SHUTS UP!<\/p>\n

So I gave the 3)Music & Cues a try.\u00a0 I was really pumped that this was gonna be great!<\/p>\n

Aaaaaannnndddd???<\/p>\n

Not so much.<\/p>\n

First off, Tony STILL TALKS!\u00a0 Gaaaah!\u00a0 What’s that about?!\u00a0 I thought he’d be quiet for once.\u00a0\u00a0Makes me think I\u00a0should try 4)Silence & Cues.\u00a0 But I’d hate to spend an hour hearing\u00a0nothing but the sound of my grunting and weeping.\u00a0 Boring.<\/p>\n

Secondly, we need to have a\u00a0quick word about\u00a0the Music in the 3)Music & Cues option.\u00a0 Apparently a\u00a0bad 80’s band escaped through the time portal to arrive in 2013 and sell\u00a0Tony some\u00a0terrible syncopated music.\u00a0\u00a0Don’t tell me you couldn’t afford better, Tony.<\/p>\n

Finally,\u00a0to cap off the whole on-going horribleness.\u00a0\u00a0Dreya’s still there.\u00a0 I thought by now she would have patented her Dreya Roll and moved on to greener pastures.\u00a0 But no.\u00a0 She’s still there.\u00a0 All cute and ripped and doing Tony’s dirty work.\u00a0 EFF OFF ALREADY, DREYA!<\/p>\n

And I told you before,\u00a0Tony.\u00a0 NO MORE JUMPING JACKS, ya jackdaw!!!\u00a0 At this\u00a0point\u00a0I’d like to suggest a 5th option: 5)Listen to me already; AND\u00a0Silence – except when you break your silence to tell me\u00a0when I’m\u00a0gonna get\u00a0skinny.<\/p>\n

Yeah.\u00a0 I’m selecting that option next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
