Tuesday - p90x plyometrix
Its been a couple of weeks since I've done this workout and I hate it just as much as I did before I started running to replace it! Ugh, its such a good, killer workout. The only thing that gets me through it is that it IS an awesome workout, but it hurts so bad!
Average heart rate: 141 (for the record, i do not start my heart rate until after the warm up, and stop it just before the cool down)
Wednesday - p90x Shoulders/Arms
I hate this workout, too. I just really don't like to to biceps... partly because I have a hard time fatiguing myself without going ape-crap with changing the weights after each exercise. Its fine, though. Just not a huge fan of it.
Average heart rate: 93
Thursday - run 3 miles on treadmill
Was going to run outside, but chickened out because it was cold. I need to get over that... There was a pretty nice sunrise going on that I decided to skip out on, and it was perfectly still - no branches were moving at all. It would have been a nice run, but I sketched out and went to the treadmill. I ran at 10:30/mile pace and did pretty well with it. It was still pretty difficult to sustain because
Average heart rate: 161
Friday - p90x Back/Legs
During this workout I made sure to run in place during any breaks (while Dave was doing his pullups) so that my heart rate would stay up. I think that one reason why my heart rate was so low during the shoulders/arm workout is because we had to pause a lot to allow Dave to change his weights and I would essentially cool off during that time. So I made sure to keep moving during the breaks today.
Average heart rate: 128

Catch up since Monday -
Tuesday - p90x Plyometrix
Ugh. Thats all I have to say about that
Wednesday - p90x Back & Biceps + run 2 miles
I hate back and biceps. I really do. This is a really difficult workout and I'm feeling it today. I also ran right afterward and only had enough time to do 2 miles. Its also pretty hard to run right after doing a back workout - took me almost a mile to loosen up. Running was fine... I lowered my pace to 10:54/mile (5.5), but still had a heart rate in the mid 170's - better than mid 180's, but not much better. I at least felt like I could sustain that for a good amount of time and was able to make it to 17:00 before I jumped off to take a quick drink & turn on the fan.
Today -
I haven't worked out yet today. And I'm really discouraged right now. I am so sore and so exhausted and tired all the time, it just makes me crabby. My back is sore - not wrenched or tweaked, just tired and sore. And I never feel great. Yesterday my wrists and arms ached all day because of the back/bicep workout. Aching is the worst... I'd rather be injured or be in pain, I hate aches. My right arm circulation is also a big problem right now - I have a lot of issues at night with my fingers falling asleep to the point of it being very painful and waking me up and I have a hard time getting the feeling back. I don't think that has anything to do with p90x, but is probably more of a wintertime thing & dehydration issue, but its still very bothersome. I also have problems with one of my winter coats where the cuff on the wrist feels slightly tight and makes my right hand fall asleep.
So combine all of that together and I'm just feeling discouraged by the whole thing. My weight is not going down, although my clothes are fitting better and a friend of mine just dropped her daughter off and told me that I'm tiny. So all of it together is making me feel blah. So I'm feeling like maybe I should just run and count calories rather than do p90x, but then I only have 6 weeks left of p90x... I can do that. I can do it, its just a matter of do I want to continue feeling this tired and sore all the time? I don't know, I'm pretty crabby about it all today.

Workout: P90x PlyometriX
Ugh, back to the plyometrix. Its so hard that I want to stop and cry sometimes. But I'm so happy I did it when its over. Its a great workout, I'm dripping with sweat, my hair is soaked and I know I worked hard.
And as I've said before: I'm so happy its done and over with on Tuesday!

Workout: P90x PlyometriX
Ugh, plyometrix is so hard. And its supposed to be - high impact jump training. I sweat so much during this workout and breathe so hard. But its good. And I'm so thankful that it is on Tuesday and I get it over with in the beginning of the week rather than having to look forward to it later in the week when my body is tired.
So this is the last week of the regular p90x schedule before a week of recovery. I'm looking forward to the recovery week - I don't think its going to be a cakewalk, but more cardio and stretching and less muscle training. And NO plyometrix for a week!
Felt like complete crap yesterday. Woke up feeling more stuffed than yesterday, but less sinus pressure, which is better. No nausea this morning and feeling decent right now.
Have I mentioned: no plyometrix for 2 weeks?
