Here I am in week 9 and I am wishing for life to just stop for a bit, please?? Wow, I did not have time once to blog last week. So, here I am in day 4 of week 9 and just getting back to blogging. This week has been tough. All the exercises for this week I have not done since the first month of P90. So, my body is having trouble doing them. Not as bad as when I first began, but I noticed in my pull ups I could do 12 pull ups with a chair when I ended the first 3 weeks, now in my 9th week I can still only do 12-15 pull ups. So, nothing earth shattering, but I at least haven't lost ground. When I did Chest and Back this week I could do a fair number of pull ups, but my push ups were really bad. I still have to do them on my knees, but even then, I did about as many a I could on my first day. I pushed myself really hard though, so hard that I burned over 500 calories and felt quite nauseous at the end. It is is such a different thought process with P90X. All my life I've exercised to get more energy, to feel energized to go on with my day. But on the weight training days when I'm done I just want to sit down and recover.
On my 2nd day of this week (Week 9) I took my family to the park because we had gorgeous weather here and I thought, "I'll do my plyo in the park" Well, my computer crashed a few months back, which in turn caused me to get a new hard drive. For some reason it would not play the P90 dvd. Man, was I frustrated. I couldn't make the family leave, they were enjoying themselves. So, I just went for a run and sprinted telephone poles. I burned a little over 400 calories in 30 minutes. I was trying to go for a lot of calories in a short amount of time because time had been wasted trying to get my computer up and running. I felt good, worked hard and had fun doing something a little different. Day 3 was shoulders and arms. I like that workout and I was able to burn over 560 calories in an hour and 15 minutes. My triceps were really sore today. Today was yoga. I still hate it, but I'm definitely getting stronger.
I want to say "Whoo hoo, I'm only 4 weeks from the end!" But in reality, I'm 4 weeks from starting it all over again. Ha ha ha. I really am going to do it again, so I have to just keep telling myself to continue to give it my all in these next 4 weeks because the harder I work now, the better my results will be in round 2. I want to give myself of a goal to lose 10 lbs over the next 5 weeks ( 5 weeks because after week 12, I do the recovery week then I'm done). I am a little timid to give myself a weight goal becuase it seems like it doesn't work that way with P90. But so many people lose 20, 30, or 40 pounds total. I would like to walk away having lost at least 15 pounds. So I am going to have to really be conscious of what goes in my mouth, work hard and be consistent.
