Workout: p90x YogaX
Time: 1:30
Weight: 129.8
Was reluctant to get up at 5:15 again this morning, but forced myself out of bed. The biggest motivator to getting out of bed for me sometimes is to open the garage door early enough that the girls won't wake up from it. Dumb, yes, but true nonetheless.
I did the whole video this time. I've been stopping at 1:15 when they start the yoga bellyX because I've been doing the abripper on my running days and didn't think I should work my core again. But I watched the bellyx part the other day and it wasn't too much, so I added it in today. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is better than abripper. It was a very short amount, but powerful. Aside from Tony the DB, I'm really diggin the yoga video.
Weight was up 1 1/2 pounds this morning. Thank you, 1 slice of pizza. Going to pound the water today to try to get rid of the extra water retention. The filter on our humidifier needs to be changed as well... the house is drier and I have noticed (for the last 3 years) that when that is true, I retain more water. I hate water retention.

Workout: P90xYoga
Time: 1:15
Weight: 130.6
Yoga is better every time I do it. It is haaaarrd and I sweat a lot in the first 45 minutes, but I love it and am SO happy that I'm doing it. Yoga has been a goal of mine for a couple of years.
Started counting calories yesterday. I miss my morning coffee treat. It always takes a week or two for me to stop being hungry, which I hate, but I'll get there. I'm determined to get under 120 this time. I've been at 119 for about 24 hours in the last 8 years. I hovered around 124 for most of 2010, which is a good, comfortable weight for me. BUT, I would LIKE to be under 120... not entirely sure I can sustain that, though, because I like food too much. I will get there by my birthday.

Workout: P90x YogaX
Time: 1:15
Weight: 128.8
What I learned from p90x yogaX:
* I have little to 0 flexibility
* I have stomach rolls, which I never had before
* yoga is hard
* perhaps doing advanced yoga for the first time is not the best move
* I'm much weaker than I've ever been
Holy moly was it hard. I wanted to quit at about 20 minutes, but pushed myself to keep going since I had gotten up early to do it. I was able to do most of the poses and keep up with most of it, but I did not look good and I did not have good form. My hamstrings are so inflexible, I'm surprised I can bend over at the waist. Hopefully with continued practice, it will get better.
The guys is ultra annoying though. I couldn't focus on my breathing because I had no idea what I was doing. A second time through it should help with that.
What I did like about this yoga dvd, was that the guy (Tony someone) was very good at telling the viewer what good form would look like. Where to move your body and what to do to try to find good form. I have found that with other yoga videos, the person assumes you know what you're doing and doesn't tell you what good form looks like. He also did a good job of explaining where to ground your body - like at one point saying to pretend both feet were planted - one on the ground and one on the wall. Instead of leaving your foot just dangling in the air, you're acting like you're pushing a wall. I know that your grounding is an important part of yoga, so this was helpful and a good reminder for me.
All in all I liked it a lot, but my hip flexors are killing me. I'm excited about this because it is another challenge and another activity in which I can measure my improvement... and another thing that I'm excited about doing (rather than going through the motions in my cross training). I'm going to have to figure out how and when to fit this in to my weekly workouts.

Workout: 20:00 cross + weights
Weight: 125.8
Went to the gym in the afternoon. Did 20 minutes on the eliptical and then did leg press, lateral raises, chest, abductors, adductors, shoulder press and biceps.
I was sitting on the bicep machine, reaching for the handles to do my second set when a guy comes up and asks if he can "jump in on it real quick". I was so flustered I gave him a really bitchy look and left to take a shower. In the shower room I was extremely peeved about it. I felt like it was incredibly disrespectful and condescending. I soooo wanted to run into him when I left so I could tell him that my workout, my time, and my biceps were just as important as his. I mean, I think it is rude to do that to anyone, but seriously - I am in great shape, I have toned arms - I look like I work out - does it really look like my workouts are not important to me? I felt very disrespected. If I'd hadn't been so shocked and taken by surprise I would have told him that I'd only be 2 more minutes and he could have it when I was finished. Really - 2 minutes. He couldn't wait that long?
So that obviously rubbed me the wrong way.
Other than that, my workout was good. Heart rate was in the mid to upper 150's on the eliptical. I increased many of my weights because I'm not running and don't need to worry about tired muscles affecting my runs.
I'm really looking forward to running again on Monday. I'm going to do my 6 miles outside instead of on the treadmill at the gym. My 6 mile route is actually around 6.15, so I may add our horseshoe stree to make it 6.5 or 6.75. I can't wait to start running again. I would also like to take some time to research proper strength training routines that compliment running training, in addition to really figure out my proper calorie intake - what I need, what I eat and what I would need to intake in order to lose 5 pounds. I suspect that in the end I'm not eating enough... or at least I'm in starvation mode during the week and then overeating during the weekend. Even with my healthy eating ideas that I posted a couple of days ago, I still feel like I need to be a little more deliberate and intentional about my diet. I just really hate figuring it all out - I'd love to have a nutrition coach who told me exactly what to eat.
One of the mom's from Bugly's preschool class went in and taught them yoga yesterday. Imagine: 4 & 5 year olds doing yoga. Bugly showed me some poses after school and she was absolutely the cutest warrier ever:) It reminded me that I want to do yoga - I had forgotten! I'm going to start looking into it. We are now in a place where I think Cornbread and I can figure out the scheduling issues in addition to the fact that my job has provided a small cushion of disposable income. Although we intend to use anything extra to pay off debt (and have been doing an awesome job - our goal this year was $4000 for the year; we paid off $3500 in the first quarter!!!!), I think we can spare the minimal amount for me to take a yoga class. Bugly's teacher is going to get me the info from this mom so I can check that out - she said it was pretty inexpensive. I really want to get going on this one - I had a goal of taking a class before my 34th birthday this year and I didn't meet it. Hoping to take a class this year.

3 miles: 36:32
distance: 4.066
time: 50:00
speeds: 3.8/5.2
Running was rough this morning. Combination of my body being tired, my calf hurting and not being able to listen to my book. For some reason while I run, the cd player stops - doesn't do it while I'm on the bike or if I walk, only when I run. Its frustrating. When I don't have the book to listen to I watch the news and I stare at the clock which makes it terribly difficult to get some decent minutes in. I may have to find a new cd player soon.
I've been thinking of going back to square 1 with the couch to 5k program. I never completed it - I just started running for minutes with the beginning of this challenge and missed the last few weeks of the training program. I'm going to restart it on Monday and I'm hoping that going back to easier runs will help me ease back into the longer runs.
Today is my day off of weights so I'll be doing yoga this afternoon. I'm looking forward to it - stretching sounds really good right about now:)

Workout: Yoga
I decided to give my body a break this morning and did yoga instead of running. I just need a rest, I think. And I feel a slight injury in my left calf/ankle that I don't want to aggravate any more than it already is. I will get back to running on Monday.
Yoga is tough, though. I am not flexible at all and it is difficult for me to stay in some of those poses for long periods of time. I did both the flexibility and the strength workouts on the DVD - so a total of about 45-50 minutes. In the strength workout, he holds the downward dog for quite a few breaths - pretty hard for me since not much weight is being beared on my feet for that one because of my inflexibility. He also does several poses where you're balancing all of your weight on your arms. Someday I'll be able to do that - I'm going to work my way to that, but right now, I can't. I do enjoy the stretching and the feeling that I'm becoming more flexible with each workout, so I'll continue to do it a couple of times a week.
This afternoon I will do shoulders and abs and then I'm done with weights for the week. My in-laws are coming for Georgia's birthday this weekend. My MIL and I are going to a craft show on Saturday during the day and then we're all going to the circus on Saturday night. Its going to tons of fun, but incredibly difficult to eat clean and at the appropriate times. I'm going to have to figure out how to make it work. I made some extra pumpkin protein muffins last night and perhaps I'll make some pancakes tonight so I can bring those along with me. I'm not going to turn this into an all out free weekend - I can't let their poor eating habits control me. I need to control myself and my decisions this weekend.

It was a lot of starting and stopping with my run this morning. I think I made it a little over a mile straight before I stopped for some reason and then it was just down hill from there. I just can't keep my momentum going after I've stopped once. I need to work on that. I have to break through this mental wall again... maybe I have to just stop working on taking seconds off of my 3 mile time and work on endurance instead.
This afternoon I will do my new yoga DVD - I'm excited to see how different it is from the other one. I hope it is a little more involved and intense.

Workout: Treadmill
3 miles: 35:06
Distance: 4.152
Time: 50:00
I took 22 seconds off of my 3 mile time this morning by increasing my speed by 1mph with each mile. I did not run the entire time without stopping - I had to stop early on and it broke my mental game. I have to remember to threaten the treadmill like I threatened the weights yesterday.
This afternoon I will do yoga.
Don't have a clue why I didn't post yesterday... I did the bike and I did biceps and triceps. For my very last set - standing barbell curls - I stood in front of the barbell, looked at the weight on the right and looked at the weight on the left and said - out loud - to them: "You and YOU will NOT conquer me. IIIII will conquer you." And I killed the last set. I even threatened them during the set.
It proves to me that the mental game is as important as the physical game. I need to get that down better - I need to threaten the weights before every set. And I need to threaten the treadmill before I get on - I do think its so early, though, that I don't remember to do it. I've kind of thought the idea of talking to your weights or your muscles was a little hokey, but after yesterday I'm more convinced. I just need to remember to do it.

Workout: Running
3 miles: 35:16
total distance: 4.125
time: 50:00
I took 20 seconds off of my 3 mile by increasing my speed to 5.4 for the last mile. However, I did not run 30:00 straight like I had intended to this morning. Part of it, I think, is a mental block - 30 minutes just seems like a long fricken time to be running. So I have to get past that mental block. I may have to do it 1 minute at a time instead of increasing by 5 minutes.
The other problem I was having was sinus/phlegm related. I had so much drainage going on in the back of my throat that every time I would sniff it back I would get a mouth full of phlegm and have to swallow it - all of that would take about 1 or 2 breaths away from my breathing leaving me in a continual state of catch up. I finally gave in after 16 minutes and took a break - which meant that I had a rough time running more than a couple of minutes at a time after that. After I had run the 3 miles, though, I walked for a quarter mile and was able to run for 3/4 of a mile straight.
My body was exhausted last night by the time I went to bed. Day 2 of lifting 2 days in a row always feels that way. I lifted pretty heavy yesterday and my body was tired.
Did not sleep well again last night. I guess I can't say I didn't sleep well - I didn't sleep hard. I'm not sure if it is the difference between running 5 days a week and now doing the bike on T/TH and not getting as hard of a workout or if it is the tea thing. I should cut the tea out for a week and see if it makes a difference.

Workout: Treadmill
3 miles: 35:45
total distance: 4.10
time: 50:00
I took 3 seconds off of my 3 mile time, which makes it a personal best. But my better personal best for today is that I ran 20:00 (1 3/4 miles) straight without a break!!!! That rocked. And again - I could have gone further, but I reached my goal and I really, really wanted a drink of water AND my cd player was being a pain in the ass and kept skipping and repeating the same thing. Once I got my drink, my cd player played well and the rest of the run was good. After the initial break I ran some longer stretches than I normally do - I made myself run 5 minutes before stopping again and gave myself goals for those stretches, too. It was a great run. I don't feel like my breathing is out of control or my heart is racing (although it is still at 190 when I check). And I feel really good now. I'm so happy I'm doing this - I finally enjoy running!
I am listening to a book on CD while I run and it is wonderful. I knew that this would be the way for me to get lost while I ran. I used to watch the news, but in the morning the news just repeats the same stories over and over for 2 hours, so it was pretty boring. I tried using the ipod, but I just don't get into music the way other people do. But BOOKS! Yea! This is awesome! The only issue I'm going to have is selection, but that just means that I'll listen to some books that I wouldn't normally read, so even that isn't a problem!
I'm really enjoying this challenge so far. I love my meals. I eat often enough and feel satisfied. I still miss that small meal right before I go to bed, but I have my TJ tea, which at least keeps my hands and mouth occupied and it is sweet so I feel like I'm having a treat. I'm looking forward to carb cycling, but I want to do it right so I need to master the basics first, then do enough reading and questioning and sit down time to actually figure it out properly. I know I'm going to see some kick ass results in this challenge, I just can't wait to get there!

I don't feel like my breathing is out of control or my heart is racing (although it is still at 190 when I check). And I feel really good now. I'm so happy I'm doing this - I finally enjoy running!
I am listening to a book on CD while I run and it is wonderful. I knew that this would be the way for me to get lost while I ran. I used to watch the news, but in the morning the news just repeats the same stories over and over for 2 hours, so it was pretty boring. I tried using the ipod, but I just don't get into music the way other people do. But BOOKS! Yea! This is awesome! The only issue I'm going to have is selection, but that just means that I'll listen to some books that I wouldn't normally read, so even that isn't a problem!
I'm really enjoying this challenge so far. I love my meals. I eat often enough and feel satisfied. I still miss that small meal right before I go to bed, but I have my TJ tea, which at least keeps my hands and mouth occupied and it is sweet so I feel like I'm having a treat. I'm looking forward to carb cycling, but I want to do it right so I need to master the basics first, then do enough reading and questioning and sit down time to actually figure it out properly. I know I'm going to see some kick ass results in this challenge, I just can't wait to get there!

Challenge 3
Beginning Date: October 15, 2007
Ending Date: January 6, 2008
Workout: running
3 miles: 35:48
total distance: 4.094
total time: 50:00
Personal best: ran 15:00 straight, without stopping
Stopping breaks my stride - after I stop for a drink, I have a hard time running even 3 minutes or a 1/4 mile straight without stopping. But I feel good for hitting my goal of 15 minutes. And again, looking back, I could have - and should have - gone longer. I will.
My triceps are sore this morning, which is the first time in a long time I've felt that.
I'm really loving this and enjoying it. I enjoy my meals and I enjoy the workouts. I think it was a good thing to do HIIT on the bike yesterday to break up the running routine. I didn't feel as much pain in my left shin/ankle this morning while I was running, and I'm sure part of that is due to the rest yesterday.
This afternoon is my day off from weights, so I will be doing my yoga DVD.
