The Triumphant Return

This is just a quick post to note that I've been keeping up with the P90X as scheduled (well, mostly... I haven't had the heart to do that nightmarish Chest/Shoulders/Tri, especially today since I have ANOTHER calculus midterm- yikes) and my yoga (three days so far since Monday, and I'm going tonight, so it looks like in min good shape for FIVE yoga classes this week... maybe even six if I can haul myself out of bed Saturday morning!).

The sad news is that between feeling under the weather and tutoring for this test I'm missing both my pilates classes, and have generally been too crazy busy to run on the elliptical. I haven't been carrying my water bottle around though, so I've been drinking less fluids. Boo.

My eating is still great though... and I've introduced KALE into my diet. Yum! I'm also remembering to eat my vitamins (got to put in a VitaCost order soon) with breakfast, and am aggressively pursuing a VitaMix on ebay.

Also: I don't remember if I mentioned this or not, and it happened last week, but... I went to trapeze with one of my best friends, La Abogada, and it was great! (Well, she liked doing something new, anyway, and she did great!)

Easing In

Ok.

I'm getting there.

Somehow when I get off track, I get WAY off track, and its always a bit of a process to get back on. From an outside standard I've been fairly active... again, not P90X "bringing it" active but hardly sedentary. Even the week I did "nothing" I still did pilates and yoga. My eating habits were healthy. I forgot my vitamins in the morning. I stopped drinking as much water but drank a lot of orange juice, which I refuse to believe is a terrible thing.

I went to trapeze a few times!

But now that I'm weaning myself back I'm already feeling better, sleeping better, and in my humble estimation, looking better. Maybe getting off track* was what I needed at that point to avoid burning out on the program.

*And to be fair to myself, I was super stressed and fighting off a cold!

So, today, I did pilates and trapeze. I did not take my vitamins but did take an Emergen-C, which has a bunch of good stuff in it if I do say so myself.

I'm going to have to tweak my method of keeping track though... I'm going to call this the Week Two of Phase Two Redo, and go from there.

Glad to be back, folks... and good night!

Today...

...was difficult.

I call a re-do of this week.

I DID, however, finally make a catch in trapeze though!

Day Forty-One... that dosen't seem right!

Wow, so... yesterday I took the trapeze class and it was so awesome I signed up for another and am dragging my poor friends with me. It's such a rush! If any of you every have a chance.... do it.

I also did pilates and the elliptical yesterday, and am planning on doing yoga (just for an hour) and some elliptical today. I might sneak int the KenPo I was planning on for yesterday if I'm feeling cheeky and get enough homework done at "work" today.

I realize that I haven't seen my pal Tony Horton and his kids in a while and I sorta miss them.

We'll see.

Day Thirty-Eight

Celebration!

I got my loan!

Now I DON'T have to move, I CAN finish school, and I DON'T have to dumpster dive for food this winter*.

Yesterday I did Legs/Back for the first time ever. I actually really liked it. I'm both happy and sad that I didn't do it before, because I'm super sore today in the butt and calves, but if I had done it earlier I really would have hurt myself. Better late then never I guess.

Today I did CardioX on El Mejor Pistolero's porch, which was very nice. Even though he spied on me while making apple-pork shoulder in the Crock Pot. He also was a sweet angel and brought me my FAVORITE CUPCAKES EVER yesterday because he know how miserable I was over this whole student loan situation.
Unfortunately my trapeze class got rained out, but I'm rescheduled for Monday night. ...Hopefully the weather will be better. I'm definitely gonna get a t-shirt. And an addiction.
