Laser Hair Removal, Anyone???

With the invention of technology comes really cool stuff...and some not so cool stuff (like your smart phone tracking your every move and pictures...EEK!)  But, with the cool stuff are things like dishwashers (awesome, no dishpan hands), DVR (I only have 1.5 hours in the evening to absorb about 4 hours of DVR'd programing after the kids are in bed), airplanes (they get me to Costa Rica), and LASER HAIR REMOVAL (I shouldn't have to tell you why this is soooo cool!)

Did you know that I'm doing laser hair removal in Lee's office, Downtown Chiropractic?  I haven't done much advertising yet, but I do have a special every month.

May's monthly special is 30% off of all packages.  Call me if you are interested in being as smooth as a baby's behind!  Oh, and for my curious male clients that don't want to be completely hairless, but don't want to look like a gorilla, I can help you with that too;)

P90 Without the "X"

Well, folks...here it is.  I've come to the realization in week five of my P90X training that I'm no spring chicken.  My knees are, simply put, killing me.  (I'm also still blaming this on indoor soccer)  I've decided to take my own disclaimer advice and tailor my training, just a bit.

Starting this week I'm taking out the leg part of my training and replacing it with the elliptical.  You know, it's that piece of machinery that some of us have in various places in our homes that tends to be used as a drying rack for sweaters, wive's dresses, etc.  My kids also love to use the foot plates as 'garages' for Matchbox cars or Lego houses.  We dusted it off, looked everywhere for the adapter and electrical components (found them tucked deep inside a dresser drawer) and started it up.

The important message to this blog is that if you find that your fitness routine isn't working for you, don't just give up on it.  Change it to meet your needs.  Don't let it beat you.

Dr. Lee's P90X Challenge

I joined a soccer league a few months ago thinking it would be great fun and exercise.  Unfortunately, I missed my team's first practice so I went to our first game completely unaware of how out of shape I really am.  Let me just say that soccer, I thought at this point, is for kids or marathon runners.  I'm neither.  We lost that game with a score 9-1, and our second game was even worse with a score of 12-0.

That's when I decided I had to do something.  I had Stephanie get on Amazon.com that night and order me the P90x.  P90x training and chiropractic go really well together.  It mixes strength training with core and endurance training and stretching.  For those of you who are patients, you know how much I insist on stretching.

I'm in week 2 of my P90X Challenge.  Be watching for the results.  While you are watching, why don't you join me?

My disclaimer:  P90X isn't for everyone.  If you are unsure, come by and talk to me about it.
