….to be back to the routine, that is.  I took the weekend off due to coming down with a head cold, but got back into it yesterday morning.  I’m sticking with the P90 routine, and it’s pretty challenging for my fitness level.  Notable improvements include lack of back pain and knee pain.  I’ve been shooting hoops a couple times a week with the kids, and my knees usually kill me.  I haven’t had knee pain in quite awhile, which is nice.  I noticed today that my back is WAAAY better than it was when I started.  I think the circuit training and ab work is tightening everything up.

I had an "up and down" February, probably sticking to my diet and working out an average of 70% of the time.  I felt like I gained back a few pounds.  Probably because mentally I knew I was screwing up by drinking a few times and having a few bad meals.  I finally bit the bullet and stepped on the scale yesterday morning to get some idea of where I am it.  I figured, "it is what it is".  How will I be able to determine how things are going if I don’t check to see where I’m at?  So I stepped on the scale, and low and behold I was 3.5 pounds lighter.  I was pretty happy with that.  I figured I was 5 pounds heavier.

I completed the sculpt workout today, and feel pretty good.  The lunges/squats really tire my legs out, but I’m feeling a lot stronger than last week.  Gonna hit the elliptical now for half an hour or so to get the heart rate up and hopefully get some good rest tonight before tomorrow’s 5 am workout.
