Day 72 - Plyo!

I am 4 days behind my schedule; I'm not going to kill myself to try to get back on schedule...  If my last day is not June 21st it isn't the end of the world.  I'd rather have good quality workouts rather than trying to rush them before the 21st.  I am forcing myself to do plyometrics today although my back is really hurting the past few days.  Gonna pop a Motrin and get to jumping.
I'm so exhausted.  Work has been one big crazy mess the past week and it's about to get a whole lot worse next week....
Oh well.  Onto Plyo.

5:33 pm Update -

I gave Plyometrics my best shot;  the severity of my back pain is not allowing me to finish.... I got through the first 25 minutes and it would be stupid to continue to do this while in pain.  Just silly.
So I'm going to lay back on my massage chair cushion thing for a little while and see if it loosens up the muscles enough to try again tomorrow.  I'm disappointed in myself.  I wish I could just do these workouts like I did the first 2 months....

Sleepy.  Do I *have* to work out...?

Day 70 - Kenpo! Love it!

Woo!  I thought I had Plyometrics today, but I'm glad I checked the schedule because I ate a plateful of pasta when I got home from work (terrible, I know) and didn't want to get sick from all the jumping; but it's not Plyo; it's KENPO!!

9:12 pm Update -

And congrats to my dad for finishing his first night of P90X :o)   It took a ton of begging to get him off the couch but he did a great job!

Day 69 - Why is This Becoming Increasingly More Difficult?

I didn't get home from work until 8:30 and by the time I finished eating and doing laundry it was 9:30...  No time or energy for Kenpo.  Sad.  :o(
I am going to have to start waking up early and working out before work if I want to really finish the last few weeks of this.
Today was a pretty good day; I got new scrubs which is very exciting.  It's the little things :o)

Day 68 - I'm Back, with Back and Biceps & Legs and Back

That was a really long break... I hadn't worked out in 4 or 5 days and there is no reason for it.  I feel like I'm getting burnt out.
I just finished a solid round of Back and Biceps and am about to do Legs and Back.  My reps were lower than last time;  my right arm is doing some kind of creaky vibration thing on curls with the 12's.  It didn't feel right :o/
OH and I don't want to jinx anything but I found a perfect house in my price range that I *might* be filling out paperwork for tonight even though it's a holiday.  I'm so ready for this.
Legs and Back - BRING IT!  :o)

7:06 pm Update -
Legs and Back went pretty well.  I definitely "felt the burn" :o)

My new obsession - riding my bike as far and as fast as I can while blasting my mp3 player.  Therapeutic beyond words.
