Restart ... again ...

Workout:
P90 Sweat 1/2
AB100
43 min.
burned 291 cal.
HR max: 154
HR ave: 123

I decided, that since I hadn't done any of the DVD workouts in a while, I shouldn't just jump into the X. So, today I started P90. I loved that I was able to keep up with Tony, and that during the AB100, I didn't have nearly all the breaks that I remember taking, when I first did P90 (2 years ago, I think).

Unfortunately, I did feel a little pain in my shoulder ... during the stretch & power yoga sections, and during some the lower-body cardio arm-swinging exercises ... but surprisingly not during the punches. Not sure how tomorrow, with sculpt 1/2 will go, because of the shoulder. I'm going to give it a try, using the 3 and 5 lb. weights for the shoulder exercises. If that hurts too much, I will just skip the upper-body exercises that hurt my shoulder (including push-ups ... plank hurt today), and double up on the lower body stuff (squats, lunges and calf exercises).

I've scheduled 5 P90 1/2 workouts this week. And next week, another 5 or 6 (I might do running on the work days) P90 3/4 workouts.

Those 2 weeks of workouts will put me at an October start for the next round of workouts. I'll take a Sunday "rest day" (after my weekend of work ... I will be leaving for the game from work), and then plan for a new program start on Monday. I'm leaning toward another P90X round ... but I just ordered additional HHAs (Hip Hop Abs) workouts and PHH (Power Half Hour) workouts. So, there may be a month or two of those routines in there, before I start P90X again, before the end of the year.

I'm interested in the variety of different workouts. However, when I was consistently doing P90X, I felt the best (no aches and pains after a night of work, and I was able to turn my patients by myself) ... the healthiest and strongest.

Goals:
  1. P90 sculpt 1/2
  2. Run/Walk 3.5 miles
  3. Eat (a carb-filled) breakfast within 1 hour of waking.
  4. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
  5. Drink 6 bottles of water.
  6. Stop eating at least 2 hours before bedtime.
  7. Take my vitamins.
