WORK IT OUT, GIRL!

i didn’t completely get over my fever until wednesday… but then my lil one caught what i had.    she’s better now of course, but it set me back in P90x.  tomorrow, i’ll be starting phase 2 since i didn’t get to last week. :p

we were given friday off as a family day for memorial day weekend, but i had to go into work anyway.  the plan was to try and get things done by lunch…. but we stayed longer than expected.  we didn’t get out of there until about 1430, leaving me no time to go grocery shopping with my lil one before i had to drop her off with my ex.  i ended up going after i dropped her off (LONG 4 hours of driving ugh) and got home too late to even do a lite work out.

yesterday i was released from on call around lunch time so i was able to get to the gym.  i did arms and chest and felt GREAT afterwards.  today i’ll be doing back and legs.

hope everyone is having a safe memorial day weekend!

i got home yesterday and started feeling even more exhausted and dehydrated.  i couldn’t figure out what was wrong so i decided to take it easy. 

usually, i can tell when i’m about to be sick.  i "carry" my sickness in my lower back; start to have an unbelievable pain and can’t even numb it with medication.  i had an inkling that i was going to have something being that it was a cool 78° in the house and i was cold.  all i could think about was getting into the shower and putting the water as hot as i could bear. 

i had a temp of 100.6, not bad, but it got worse throughout the night.  tossing and turning because i was hot and then cold again…

i hope that i work out today.  definitely feeling better than last night, but a bit exhausted.

so i did my measurements and it’s progress, but a lil discouraging.  i’ve managed to lose inches all over except for my forearms- they gained an inch.  what’s discouraging?  i was hoping i lost more inches around my waist and thighs, but like dan says, it’s still progress.  i was shocked that i lost almost an inch around my calves, but he tells me that it means i’m leaning out.  i hope that’s the case. 

 today starts phase 2.  i think i’m gonna double up on videos on days that i don’t have cardio so that i actually have a cardio session (ex, tomorrow is shoulders and arms and i’ll just do a cardio video in the morning).  i’m doing pretty good about my diet, hopefully dan will have some ideas of how i can improve that more.  it’ll be a whole lot easier when he moves out here in that dept considering he’s got his down.

well, one more hour of work and then it’s time for my workout.

Sunday will be the last day of phase 1 for P90x.  i can see that i’ve lost some inches, but unsure about weight.  kinda nervous about weighing in on friday.  :p 

so far, i’m really happy with P90x.  the routine are fun and i get a great work out from them.  ab ripper x still kicks my ass, but i can feel my midsection grow stronger being that each time i do it, i’m able to hang with him more and do more of the reps. LOL

i’m gonna try to update more with phase 2……….
