Chicago Q

Hi All!

Chicago Q rocked last night! I am so excited to go back in a few weeks for CP's birthday. The events coordinator at Chicago Q was wonderful. She was able to give us "tastes" of everything we wanted to try before making a final decision on the menu. The hush puppies were something else and the corn bread?? Wowza! The 19th can't come soon enough.

This morning, I tried the P90X - Plyo routine. I didn't give myself enough time to do the work out and get reaady, so I only managed to get through half of it. I'm sure tomorrow will be tough to move around, but it felt great. Lots of jumps...

If you aren't sure what plyometric movements are, here is some info: Plyometric movements, in which a muscle is loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence, use the strength, elasticity and innervation of muscle and surrounding tissues to produce greater strength, more speed and explosive power.

The p90X plyometric workout contains five sections of four movements; the first three last 30 seconds, and the final movements typically last 60 seconds.

If you are considering trying p90x, do it! It's a nice change from the gym.

My meal plan for the day:
Breakfast - Soy sausage sammy with laughing cow spread
Lunch - Chicken sandwich from Brett's Kitchen - this place rocks!
Snack - choco chip granola bar
Dinner - Monster and I are going to Deleece tonight for din. The menu looks awesome! I am going with either the turkey burger or a salad.

Stay warm!
