P90X - Day 56

Week 8, Day 7

(extra phase 2 week)

Workout:
HHA FBC (Fat Burning Cardio)
30 min.

Today was supposed to be rest/stretch day ... but had decided to make up Legs & Back from Saturday. Unfortunately, I didn't feel good. Actually, I felt pretty bad, kind of weird. My neck and chest hurt, and the pain/discomfort in my neck increased whenever I did anything close to a straining ... like bending over, even. A pulsating, throbbing pain ... actually, I imagine my carotids exploding!

How's that for imagery?!

I increased some of the weights for shoulders yesterday, and really pushed myself. I suspect that I may have been using some of the accessory muscles to push through the workouts.

So, I decided to try out the HHA workouts ... since it's my first workout, I figured it wouldn't be too strenuous for a "rest" day, or for a weird-sensation-in-my-head day.

It was a good workout. Fast paced, and the time went by quickly. Didn't really feel like 30 minutes.

Tomorrow begins "Recovery Week".

Goals:

1. YogaX
2. Drink 6 bottles of water.
3. Write down everything I eat.
4. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
