catchup since last tuesday...
Wednesday - p90x something
Don't remember
Thursday - ran 37:00 with Dave
Ran around my in-laws' neighborhood with Dave. It was nice. We ran to the park, then around the path and wound our way back through the neighborhood. We ran 20:00+ straight before taking a walking break. It felt good and I love running with Dave - he pushes me and encourages me, and its so nice to have someone else there with me:)
Friday - p90x Back/Legs
LOVE this workout!
Saturday -
missed my opportunity to run on Saturday morning, so no workout.
Monday - p90x Core Synergistics
Beginning of recovery week (8). The officially scheduled workout was yoga, but I wanted to do something harder than that, so I did Tuesday's workout. Its so hard - there are some exercises that I just forward through because there is no way I can even attempt them. BUT I'm better than I was the first time.
Tuesday - run 30:00 on the treadmill
This was the worst. It was horrible. I had a hard time immediately and couldn't settle in. I ended up messing with the speed a lot and taking a lot of mini breaks. I felt horrible the whole time.
Wednesday - p90x KenPo
Used my heart rate monitor for the first time! Had an average heart rate of 117 during this workout - which is not very high. Tony mentions that his is 165 at one point... not sure how he is getting it that high. Which is exactly why I needed to add the running in - because at least this workout is not a sufficient cardio workout for me.
Thursday - Run 3 miles outside
This was my best run in a long, long time and I am so happy and proud of myself! I ran the whole 3 miles without one break to walk or stop. My lower left back muscle and left hip were clenched much of the time, too, but I mentally gutted through it by giving myself small goals. I am so proud of this!
My average heart rate was 171... there were a few times that I looked down and saw 179, but usually after I had just gone up an incline or a hill. Mostly I saw 175. According to this website: http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm that equals 392 calories burned. Had I entered it into myfitnesspal.com, it would have said 270 calories. So I'm really glad I have the HRM! I'm excited to use it for all of my workouts.
Eating has been fantastic. Have been counting calories this week and have been eating oatmeal w/ almond butter & 1/2 apple right away after my shower, which seems to be helping with my fatigue throughout the day. Recovery meal, duh. Also trying to eat a small meal/snack every 3 hours so I'm not backloading my calories all the time. All of this seems to be working well. Down to 127.2, which is the lowest since the cottage vacation this summer. Going to be weighing every day to monitor through Christmas season.
