What I Can't Live Without

HOT WATER. Simple as that. Today my house didn't have a trace of warm/hot water. I thought it was only my kitchen but I guess I was wrong. Needless to say after my Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X P90X workout I HAVE to take a shower (since I plan on going shopping later today) and I'm sweating like a pig. But it was VERY difficult to take a shower today =( I usually like nice hot showers, but this water wasn't even lukewarm or room temperature. This was icy, cold, "I feel like I'm going to get hypothermia" water. I tried to take a bath but my toes felt like they were going to fall off even when I just submerged them in water. In the end I opted to take a very QUICK shower that was set at low pressure. I couldn't even think of washing my hair with this ice water!

Being the Chinese people we are, we have a hot water dispenser. So I took a bucket from the basement and filled it with some cold water. Then I also filled the bucket with hot water. Cold water + hot water = warm water that is acceptable to wash my hair. Then I dragged the bucket up to the bathroom and used cup by cup to soak, wash and rinse my hair.

I hope I never have to go through this again. I don't understand how people can swim in the lake during winter. They have guts (or they're just crazy).

P90X - Day 17/90

There's still a long way to go.... but I can definitely sense an improvement over the past couple of weeks. Will I last till day 90? I'll keep you posted :P
