Wow. New rule. Eat before gym. After my second day of workout induced vomiting, I googled. Me thinks my electrolytes are low. I had to have help up the stairs when I got home. After which I found a gloriously comfy spot on some damp towels in the bathroom floor. No Bueno. After a recovery nap, I ate. Oh guess what, I feel better. Okay, I get it. Eat first. I hear you Tony Horton. Recovery drink. This was never a problem before when I was doing wiener workouts, but now that I have to push harder to break through a plateau, I'm remembering those days of getting sick during Tang Soo Do and volleyball workouts. Lesson learned. I'm also in a tricky spot of wanting to do more, but having to find that fine line of listening to my body so I don't overdo it and UNdo it. Recovery and rest are imperative. I hear ya. (that's why I love FS...I've been reading articles my buddies post. wink wink)
Anyway, all the vomiting aside...I did break a threshold this morning. Have I ever told you this monkey is NOT A RUNNER? I mean for reals not a runner. Not a jogger, not a skipper, not a dance your way to the finish kind of girl. I was built for comfort not for speed. Seriously, when the zombies come, get in MY group. You will NOT be the slow one. I PROMISE. Even if you are the granny monkey with a walker. Okay, that being said, I finally beat my mile time today on the elliptical. :o) I did two TEN minute miles. I shaved FOUR minutes off my two mile time. (shut up seasoned runners) This is an accomplishment for ME. MY personal best. I would like to thank my husband for pissing me off, er..I mean motivating me this morning at 0500 and the band Kittie for providing the soundtrack...Mouthful of Poison (on loop) (yes, scary bad nasty) and Kanye West (very bad attitude/don't agree with his politics, but good cool down song) Stronger. And also, my husband again for helping me back upstairs when we got home, and then waking me up off the bathroom floor when he got done with his hard boiled eggs. LOL. That that that which don't kill me...can only make me stronger.

Losing 0.4 kg a Week
08 February 2012
I know I owe a few journal entries here, but I also owe a couple of workouts. :/
I am on Day 5 of p90x should be on day 7.
We had the ball. It was awesome. :)
Anyway, Cinderella's back to real life now.
I put in a short entry about P90X yoga along with a link to a blog about someone else's thoughts about how hard it is. Yes, it is HARD yoga, but you know what? That is just another excuse. Hard just means different. Different is good. Different means you are working another part of the body and you probably need to do that. That being said, I worked those body parts and I felt it. I felt it for DAYS. I skipped the next day. DO YOUR BEST FORGET THE REST. I still did my cardio, but I did not do my P90X which was legs and back. Now I am behind on p90x workouts, but today that is okay. When day 87 comes up, I'll be kicking myself saying..yeah...you could be there NOW!, but I will still be happy taking measurements. Speaking of measurements. I took some more today. Building muscle means the scale gets all tricked up, so that's not the best way to monitor your progress. I got out my little blue tape and my spreadsheet and did some work. It's only been a week, and already I've lost 2 inches! From my chest and waist. It always drops there first, but I got a little off my thigh this time, too. I enjoyed the legs workout, but I gotta tell you it was the hardest one I've done so far. It made me puke. No lie. It still didn't make me feel as bad as looking down at the new strength in my legs while I was doing wall squats made me feel proud. Did that run on sentence make any sense? Barfing felt bad, but seeing actual muscles in my thighs felt better! Now, I owe myself a KENPO-X to get back on schedule. I loved Les Mills Body Combat at my sister's gym in Arkansas, so I can't wait for this one. Oh and the sun is shining in Alaska and the forecast is in the 20's for like a whole week! POSITIVE!
And, hey, Jillian Michaels...Unless you Puke, Faint, Or Die...Don't Quit??? Nah..Unless you Faint or Die maybe.

Did I mention I love yoga? I have more to say about Yoga X, but I think what this blogger said is pretty spot on. It is hard, but that is the beauty of TH's coaching. If you can't do what we are doing TODAY, that's okay. Keep working and next time be better. That's a yoga thing. We were in some deep ankle stretches that practically no one can do straight away, and my yogi said think about sitting on a phone book and every day you pull out a page and even though it is a tiny bit you are getting closer to your goal of sitting on the floor in this stretch. It might take ten thousand days, but you will get there.
You know you can't spell monkey without OM! OMMMMMMMMMM ;)

Day 3 P90X (Lean) Finally took my measurements today. I bought myself a pair of shoes to make up for it. (No really, I needed them for a formal event, I'm just saying they are a reward for hard work. I'm doing P90 freaking X, dammit. I'm a stud monkey. With hot shoes.)
I also found a spreadsheet online (template) to keep track of the measurements and how many total inches you've lost. I added enough columns to measure every couple of weeks. Measurements are going to be more important now that the scale is going to start being tricky while I *destroy, build, destroy*
Hold on a minute. I'm currently distracted by this merry go round of shoe advertising on the top of my screen. Must love intuitive web browsing. STOPPPPP ITTTTTT!!!!
Shoulders and Arms/Ab RipperX
Anyway. Shoulders and Arms. I'm so weak there. I want to be able to do push ups. Everyone in the Army does push ups. I'm not in the Army, just married to it, but still, I feel the need. I at least want to have hot arms in my ball gowns. The nice thing about P90X is that it's kicking your ass in a whole new place from yesterday. Yesterday, I couldn't walk up and down my stairs. I went to get rid of a little LA build up at the gym and I did day two with just a little more soreness in my thighs, but mid way through our function last night I was pretty much over it. Wish I could say the same for my headache this morning.
I know my shoulders are going to sing in the morning, but as much as I hate to admit it, DH is right about working through it. I'll be in the steam room and on the elliptical again in the morning. Maybe as soon as tonight.
Ab RipperX??? OH MY GOD. 349 core/ab exercises. That's all I'm going to say, you little crunchy frog. Yup. My ribs hurt.
Ummm and Hello. I get to do YOGA X tomorrow? REALLY?!? Already? Of course I probably won't be this excited once the endorphins wear off from today and all my core muscles hurt and I can't even go pee by myself.
That FEDEX man better hurry up and get here with my new Badgley Mischkas. Just Sayin.
