Good morning,
TracyX - I'm very pleased to hear that you got some cardio in yesterday, although sorry to hear that your back is still giving you so much grief. I have never heard of the body part that you are talking about. I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions about where to go for help. Like a couple of other people, my first thought was to go to a physical therapist. That's very interesting about soft tissue injuries. I kind of figured something like that was happening, as people so commonly reinjure the same muscles.
An allergy to citric acid? How did you figure that out? That's a hard thing to avoid, I would imagine? And does that mean you can't eat fruits like oranges, apples, etc.? It's hard to "eat clean" if you can't eat fruit! I agree that our environments are making us sicker
DebraX - I like your combo of PP and PUB! Neat! Sounds like you had a great workout! Yes, I survived the playdate, but again, overindulged a bit, which then triggered more overindulgences after dinner. That's my real problem: a "reasonable" treat in the afternoon turns into "unreasonable" treats after dinner. I sure am tired of beating myself up every night. I've got to change something. Today is the LAST social event of the week: dinner at a friend's house. I haven't decided yet whether to make this Clean Eating Day 1, or wait until tomorrow, when I won't have to deal with social eating. I will probably go to the grocery store this morning - like you, not my favourite way to spend the day.
JeanetteX - BG leg blast didn't leave you sore?? Go back and do it again!
Strikezone was enjoyable, was it? Okay, I'll definitely do it some time this week. I agree with you about the colour scheme on the video- looks like something out of the '80s. I usually find, though, that when I'm working out I barely notice that kind of stuff. I'm too busy working out! I'm trying your banana-cut-up-into-oatmeal thing this morning. I have Steel Cut oats simmering on the stove as I type this. We all definitely have a cold, except DH. Myself and the 2 dds are coughing, sniffling, and complaining about sore throats. I actually prefer to have a cold over allergies. Colds are over quicker than allergies. And I love Sudafed
Did you get the new pics up on the trail yet?
Wendy - Hello! I love having a couple of first-rounders with us this time! It helps make it all feel fresh for the rest of us. I remember that chest/back DOMS very well! And I have a hunch I'll be feeling it again myself in a couple of days! PlyoX didn't give me inner thigh doms. I think I felt it in my core the most. Or maybe that was ARX. Who knows - they all work in concert. How did you like KenpoX today?
TraciX - Good morning! How is life by the bay today? It sounds like you're not getting much sleep! When do you come home?
I'd love to do either yoga or stretching today, but have a feeling that it won't happen. DH is going to sand the drywall in the basement and plans to hibernate down there for the day. Given that drywall sanding apparently makes an atrocious mess throughout the house, I might take the kids and leave. Maybe grocery shopping. I'm not sure yet what the day will hold. Me and the girls are going to a friend's house for dinner, so we'll be gone by mid-afternoon at the least.
I've got my new dumbells for the back portion of tomorrow's workout. I love the looks of Cathe's April '07 rotation! I was tempted to do that instead, but no I'll force myself to stay on track with you all. Maybe I'll do that rotation when I'm done with this one. I'm thinking, however, that her 15 min cardio blast might be a good thing to tack on to some of the P90X upper body weight days. Not sure yet.
Okay, time to go. Have a great day,
SandraX
