P90X - Day 40
Week 6, Day 5
Workout:
Legs & Back
68 min.
burned 594 cal.
HR max: 168
HR ave: 141
I bought a "door kit" with a "20#" band to do the pull-ups because I don't think my chair-assisted pull-ups were really working my back. I used more leg to get up than I should, but without the leg, I couldn't get up. I thought this kit might help. I ended up instead of using the kit on the door, I draped the band over my pull-up bar and did them that way. Only problem, is, even that wasn't much of a workout. (I can usually do about 60# on the lat pull-down machine.) So, I'm not sure how I'm going to adjust my pull-up routine to actually get a workout!!

Slept poorly last night. Had difficulty breathing (I'm not a mouth-breather by nature), and then I had some hideous sinus pressure going on. Actually, thought I might have to cancel my plans for this morning. But, I hate doing that on such a short notice! I ended up getting the right combination of medications (Sudafed & Ibuprofen) and, an hour later, I had no pain! And, I could breathe!!
I took a nap this afternoon to get through my day.
Found out the only game my niece plays in today is at 10:30 tonight. With an hour game (assuming all is on schedule), and my drive home, I wouldn't be in bed until well after midnight ... not smart when I'm trying to recover from illness. So, I'm going to go over in the morning for her game. Her game tomorrow is at 11:30 in the morning ... I can totally make that! And, interestingly, she'll be playing against the school my mom teaches at!!
Totally didn't want to work out tonight. I was so NOT feeling it! Between the headache, unable to breathe through my nose, and just being tired & wanting to go to bed. I had decided I wasn't going to workout ... and then, I felt the "muffin top" hanging over the front of my jeans, and thought of an email I got from a friend this week telling me I DESERVE to get fit & lose the fat, and not let ANYTHING sabotage my goals. I immediately headed upstairs to put on my workout gear.
Again, on this workout, I was sweating quite a bit before I was even done with the warm-up. And, part way into the workout, the sweat was pouring off of me. I imagined the toxins were fighting to get out of me!! I was gettin' too hot for them to survive!! ;) (Yes, as a matter of fact, I have been told I have an active imagination!)
Halfway through the workout, I was thinking about baling on it, though. The headache started kicking in. I came so close. I paused the DVD, sipped on my water, mopped off my face & neck ... and then basically told myself I had to get through Legs & Back.
I was going to try to squeeze in Ab Ripper X & YogaX (make-up workout) today, as well. But, I'm pretty exhausted with this. And, I'm ready to go to bed now!!
I am proud of myself for pushing myself to do the workout even if I didn't want to! One more day ... I did it!
The "food porn" challenge, though, is another story!
Tomorrow, I'm going to focus on getting back on track with the food. I'm going to do the KenpoX workout tomorrow, FOR SURE. NO EXCUSES. As far as trying to catch up on missed workouts, I'm going to play it by ear. I don't want to over-do it, since I am trying to recover. I think the Ab Ripper X workout is a definite possibility. The others will probably have to wait until "rest day" Monday.

Hey Sheri, congrats on doing the X, and on your great blog! I just started P90X and finished Day 5 today Legs and Back...my legs were screaming! I really like the way you layed out your workout posts and hope you don't mind if I borrow the same format to keep track of my workouts? I have Kenpo tomorrow too. Take care and have a great day and workout.

Thanks Rob! Congratulations on starting the X!
No, I don't mind if you borrow my layout idea. I like to be able to see my improvements, and this is the best way I know how! (I try to up my numbers by at least 1 each time I do the workout.)
Sheri
Hey Sheri, I was looking at your blog and I thought your whole layout thing was pretty cool, but I was wondering if you ever finished
Thanks for stopping by here!
I did not finish this round of P90X. I got into running, and didn't have the time to commit to both, as I'd like.
The variety works for me.
