P90x Day 29 - Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps

Quick Update : I said Saturday that I had lost 7.5 pounds. Truth is my math sucks. I've only lost 6.5 pounds. I started at 250 and weighed in on Saturday at 243.5. For some reason I went 250-243 = 7 and then add a half. Not sure why but I didn't catch this earlier, but it was Sunday afternoon before I went "wait a minute". Anyways, that makes my results less than I hoped even more, but still over the healthy 1.5 a week so I won't complain. I've realized that P90x is a good workout plan and you will lose weight, but it's not set up to be a radical weight loss solution. This is made for people that are close to their goal weight, not people who have 30+ pounds to lose.

I am sick and tired. Not of anything in particular, but just those two things. Sick, and tired. My daughter's birthday was Saturday and it was alot of fun. But with all the added parents and kids in the house it seems we dragged in some ilness too. I felt like I was getting a but stuffy on Sunday morning, but by the end of the night I could tell that I was getting sick. I woke up this morning miserable sick. I'm not sure if it is allergies or sinuses but I couldn't breathe because I was so stuffed up and my throat was killing me. I took benedryl and felt much better all day, but I was absolutely beat. I skipped my morning workout and slept in. I was acutally late to work because I was so tired, but I got up and got to work. I was miserable at work and could barely keep my eyes open but when I got home I still got my workout in.

You read that right, I still got my workout in. I got home and fired up the workout for today. It wasn't the best workout I've ever done but it got done. Everything inside me wanted to skip the workout and I had enough reasons to do it, but I put it on the calendar so I did it. I'm going to try and not let a workout get missed in this process.

I'm suppossed to start running again tomorrow. I hope I'm able to do it. I hate being sick.

We got 4.5 inches of snow on Sunday. 4 inches of snow. IN ALABAMA. Crazy. We had alot of fun in it though. Snowmen and playing and alot of things. We haven't had that much snow here in probably 15 years from what I've read so it was really an outlier. And to top it all of on Friday we had a tornado touchdown about 5 miles from my house. There wasn't much damage and it was only down for a few seconds, but still it's crazy. If I see frogs or locusts around anytime soon I'm going to take shelter.

Tomorrow is plyometrics and running. Should be an interesting mix. Can't wait to press play tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be in a slightly less than sick manner.
