P90X – Days 28 – 37
Wow, how quickly the days go by! I need to update more often because it takes me a while to figure out what I did when it gets this long between posts.
Day 28 – Rest Day. But it’s Zander’s first day of roller skating lessons. After the lesson, we can stay for the session and parents skate for free. I skate for about 15 minutes with the kiddos. And I don’t fall. Not too bad. Next week I’ll bring my blades.
Day 29 – Recovery week is over! Today was Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. Nothing like a brand new work out to make you feel uncoordinated and week. but I made it through, and it was good. I’m going to be sore tomorrow!
Day 30- Speed workout with May. In 2 parts because my Nike+ iPod receiver disconnected during the 2nd set. BRUTAL.
Day 31 – May comes over to do Legs and Back with me! So cool to have a workout partner. She takes my 30 day P90X pictures.
Day 32 – May and I do a late run today of the Take 5 in the Garden 5 mi course. And today I start my cycle. UGH. I feel low energy, it feels like I’m running through mud.
Day 33 – Back and Biceps today. Pull-ups – will it ever get easier?
I finally take a look at my 30 day pictures, and I am majorly disappointed. I can’t see any changes. It’s been a total blow to my ego.
Of course, it was the day before my period, so that probably put me at a disadvantage right there. I’m frustrated. The scale hovers around 133.
I definitely feel stronger and my clothes fit better. I can take solace in that.
Day 34 – No run today – so I stay home and do Kenpo X. I *love* Kenpo X!
Day 35 – Rest day. I brought my roller blades to the rink and got to skate for 20 minutes after his class. I even manage to make one lap around skating BACKWARDS. After skating, we hosted Zevan’s birthday party at home. Lots of fun, and lots of food. I try to load up on fruits and veggies, but the pancit, lumpia and birthday cake call to me as well…
Day 36 – I’m wrecked. I’m sick. My throat is sore; my head is pounding and congested; I’m exhausted. I crashed for hours on the sofa, and thought I would never be able to get my workout in today.
BUT! I rested. And somehow got up the gumption to start Chest, Shoulders and Triceps shortly before 10 PM. CRAZY, and it was hard work, but I did it.
Day 37 – I’m still sick, but it’s more irritating that anything else. May can’t run today so I stay home and do Plyometrics today – man, it totally *is* the MOTHER of all P90X workouts.
I look at my 30 day pix again. I do see one change in the photos – my back is slightly more defined. I’ll take it! The scale reads 132.4 today. I have to do some measurements and see if I can see the change more clearly there. All I know is that I’m wearing the capri pants that haven’t fit me since summer 2006. So that’s a good thing.
And we’re all caught up. Check me out. Onward!
