Progress report
Yesterday I reassessed my workout plan and discovered that it was a bit on the heavy side. I’m not losing motivation, by any means, but unfortunately time is a factor. I had to trim it a bit.
K.gluten advised me that while P90X is a fine program, it will not give me the hulkish badass physique that I’m looking for in my upper body. So I substituted a dumbbell workout that should give me speedier results in that area. I’m still utilizing some of the exercises from that workout though and using my pull-up bar in addition to the weights. I want to be able to hang upside down in gravity boots like Kevin Mattson! DUDE! That guy is a rock star! Back to my program… I’m keeping the P90X plyometrics, kenpo, and leg workouts though. They gave me immediate performance results on the track as far as strength and endurance. I ain’t losin’ that! Of course is the Ab Ripper is working well… Natalie (our uniform taylor) was surprised by the amount she had to take in on my skirt and top! heh heh!
I worked through Aunt Flo’s visit just fine. I did have to scale back a bit on my workouts at home so I could have the energy to expend at practice. I ate another serving of complex carbs to help out with that too. Dramamine kept me from spewing when I was working hard and the iron supplement was genius! Thank you there, Mr. Gluten, for that little bit of advice. Roger thanks you too. He claims I was less… how do I say… "emotional". heh heh I think he meant BITCHY. 
I cannot take Advil or pain meds of any kind, prescription or otherwise, except Tylenol. After torn ligaments, tendons, muscles, broken bones, surgeries, hits, falls, everything derby dishes out… I can take those injuries with flying colors and Tylenol. BUT after 21 years of having cramps every month? Nope. Still can’t deal with those. LOL
So all in all, a very productive few days and I feel fantastic. I can’t wait to step on the scale tomorrow!
