Days 38 & 39 - I Really Gotta Get Caught Up

Yoga (blah) and Legs & Back today. Tomorrow is Kenpo and after that I made a promise to myself that I will catch up on my workouts so I can stop this doubling up thing. I'm guessing that the workouts aren't even as effective when skipping days then doubling them up.

6:50 pm Update -

I just finished with all 3 workouts (yoga, legs & back and *surprise!* ab ripper!) I completely forgot about ab ripper. I'm beat... Yoga was pretty much half-assed; I'll be honest. I pushed hard on Legs and Back & Ab Ripper though.
I somehow got my mom to try some of the exercises with me and she did great for her first time, and really great for not being able to go to the gym in a few months. Go mama!

Now going for a quick spin on my bike and then coming home to shower and curl up in my Snuggie to watch a (hopefully good) movie. Don't judge me. ;-p

Day 36 & 37 - "It's called ab-rip-per-X"

So.... Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps, Ab Ripper X, AND Plyo in the same day. Am I nuts? Sure am.
I skipped a couple days so I definitely need to catch up and what better time to do so than on my day off.
I just finished Chest, Shoulders, & Tri's and Ab Ripper and I'm about to start Plyometrics then try to walk around the mall with my cousin. Anyone own a pair of crutches I can borrow?

Update-

Plyometrics
Max HR: 183
Avg HR: 157
Calories Burned: 555 (make a wish)

I was getting really weak toward the end around the first set of Monster Truck Tires... My legs were shaky and just, weak. I finished the whole thing though but the end wasn't as strong as the beginning.

I've been nauseous everyday for the past couple of weeks throughout most of the day... It's one of three things: stress, the protein supplements (I increased from one a day to two a day), or pushing myself too hard during the workouts. That two workouts in one day thing really kills me... I need to focus on getting one in everyday without skipping days. It's becoming increasingly more difficult to get one in everyday because work has been a HUGE source of stress for me the past couple weeks... To come home from 12 hours of mental abuse to go through an hour and a half of physical abuse is a lot. I'm doing the best I can.

Day 35...Again - Another Night Off

Work today was bad to the point that I'm surprised I stayed and kept my calm all day. Needless to say, there is no way I'm going to make this a quality workout. Tri's will have to wait until tomorrow.

Day 35 - Rest!

I went for a quick ride on my bike after work and now I plan on catching up on some much needed sleep. Damn storm.
I bought a bunch of protein supplements from work at a really good price since the owner was there and approved it. Score. I think I will go have one now...
My legs and booty are the most sore they've been yet; I think doing Kenpo and Legs in the same day was overload; but the soreness makes me feel like I've worked hard so I welcome it.
Tomorrow is Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps... and of course, Ab Ripper. Bring it.

Days 33 & 34 - Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X and Kenpo X

What a day! Two and a half hours of nonstop exercise. I'm exhausted. I even managed to squeeze a 20 minute bike ride in there somewhere... because I'm nuts.

Kenpo X

No energy to type. Going to get some water!
