DAY 9: KISS! (Keep It Simple Stupid)

-

Workout: 3-Hour Hike Walk

  • Duration: 3-hour walk 
  • Condition: Sunscreen
  • Body Feels Like: 6/10 Starting to feel the plateau
  • Mind Feels Like: 8/10 Meeting up with a bunch of friends 
Blogging is becoming another 'thing to-do' and I loathe to feel that way tracking my workouts as I might quit as with max-out workouts in the past. I will try to keep dailies to a minimum and edit/insert additional tidbits of thought when I can. 

I skipped today's workout as I went on a 3 hour birthday walk around the Pacific coastline. This was a great replacement of my usual 25-min workout as I caught up with friends and enjoyed a leisurely walk along the coastline. I was also delighted knowing that I did not have to P90. 

I think I will replace Day 7 with any physical activity. I was starting to feel confined to the P90X-only trap and the beach walk was a much needed reprieve.

DAY 12: It's Been a Minute

Workout: N/A I went camping over the weekend and caught the flu so I don't have any major updates other than that I took the entire week off (3 days camping, 4 days being sick). I think I mentioned somewhere in my prior posts that sticking to a tight workout schedule can be extremely stressful and you shouldn't beat yourself over breaking it. Life happens. Good shit happens, bad shit happens even more.  I am not sure if it was from the semi-raw eggs that a 5 year old coughed on, 30-degree nights and 80-degree days, falling into the swampy muck in the lake while learning to fish (amazing), or just plain shit luck. But I had 2.5 amazing days camping with friends and 4.5 crummy days ailing and recovering from a flu thereafter.  I am hopeful that I can get back on track this weekend as the lingering guilt of missing out is pissing me off and my body is getting sluggish again. It is really hard to not feel guilty even though a flu is as good of a hallpass as any. It kinda feels lik...

DAY 6: Feeling Kinda Less Broken

Workout: CVX Duration: ~25min Completed 3 Sets  Condition: No Weights Body Feels Like: 3/10 Abs are really sore from a workout a few days ago Mind Feels Like: 2/10 Feeling kinda down Last night I took my good friend out clubbing to celebrate his birthday. I had three bottles of IPA and a Jack and Coke. Music was pop-house with heavily redundant beats with drowning bass. Normally I would bounce around the floor until my lungs give out (around 3 to 5 minute bursts followed by 10 min rest).  Last night however, I more or less waddled around in boredom and wondered why the music was so dang awful. I used to love dancing but I was/am so out of shape. My friend had a great time however, so I was happy for him.  I am a bit broken and need to fix me.  CVX Customized Sets and Routines:  For those of you that are unfamiliar with P90X3 CVX, it is a 30min cardio-strength training workout that includes 4 sets of 3 routines, repeated twice per set followed by cool down.
