i feel like i cheated today and in many ways, i did. haven’t been feeling the greatest the last couple of days, so last night i took a lil bit of night time cold medicine. well, that made this morning slow and groggy. a late start on a longer Yoga X workout is not a good thing. i did push play but because i still wasn’t feeling the greatest, i skipped (read: fast forwarded) the majority of the workout. basically did the yoga belly 7 and post-workout stretching. seems perhaps there’s a bug floating around the house (joseph has a NASTY case of hives possibly caused by whatever has been affecting my level of activity).
a good nights rest and we’re back at it tomorrow.

it’s been quiet, i know – yesterday, i woke and got the video started, which was a feat on its own. started the warm up and started hacking my lungs out. decided to listen to my body and give the plyo workout a rest – so i went back to bed for the hour and woke up feeling much better. this morning, i debated whether to do the plyo workout or to just skip it and move on (as i did with the Insanity workouts earlier). and the fact that it was the plyo workout and i was still recovering, to some degree, from warrior dash… we went ahead and did shoulders and arms today. got through it, and made progress… but it wasn’t easy.

you might’ve noticed that it’s been a couple days since a p90x post… this is because on saturday (supposed to be day 13 and Kenpo X), i did Warrior Dash. it was super fun times, very dirty, i got way too much sun (paying for that today) and i’m still recovering to some degree today! my time on the 3.02 mile course (up hill most of the way it felt), was 43:42.05 which was good enough for 3,529th place on the day and 562nd in my age/gender group. photos haven’t been posted on the website, yet – but i think i made Team Slobbermonkey proud! if anyone has a chance to do it, i would jump at that in a heartbeat, it’s a blast! with that being said, i took yesterday and utilized the rest day, even though X Stretch probably would’ve been a good idea, not moving seemed like just as good an idea (actually better)!
today was back to the nitty gritty of P90X and round 3 of Chest & Back. the weight was down this morning about 3 lbs (that’s 10% of what i was hoping to lose). every one of the exercises is going up – all pull up variations are increasing about 1 rep every week, all push up variations 2-5 reps. it’s pretty cool to see the progress and in two weeks we start another phase, which will be wonderfully taxing in a whole new way. not really looking forward to tomorrow’s workout, hopefully the legs will be back a little bit more – still wiped from WD.
