Yes, it's been a while since my last post and just after I vowed to check in more frequently. But the project rolls along and last week was fantastic! Monday night was my 4th workout of week 3. It was getting late and I hadn't exercised yet but I didn't want to put off exercising til Tuesday which would have been the last day to make 4 workouts in one week. I hate that added pressure of waiting til the last day. Anyway, Monday night Rob convinced me to try the plyometrics DVD of his P90X workout DVD set. (For those uninformed out there, P90X is hardcore, for people wanting to get ripped not just healthy). Well, after 10 min of the 45 min DVD I threw in the towel, waived the white flag, and called it quits. Realizing I probably hadn't exercised enough I grabbed my 4lb weights and attempted a pathetic set of weightlifting (if u can call it that). Tuesday came and I still felt like I gipped myself out of a good workout, so after work I turned down a very enticing offer to go for cocktails and instead stuffed myself once again into a sportsbra and went for a run in the park. That evening I ran farther than i ever have and it felt fantastic!
On Wednesday I woke up and realized the plyometrics (even just 10 min of it) kicked my butt and I spent the day walking around like I had just ridden a horse . Bending over was out of the question and sitting/standing/kneeling and stair climbing took much effort and caution. That's when I had a stroke of genius and decided to cash in Rob's Valentines gift which was a gift certificate to a spa. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed my hour long massage and well deserved day off from exercise!
