Today is a scheduled rest day on the program. I plan to relax and do work around the house.
Tomorrow starts the second recovery week. Even though it's a recovery week, it isn't easy. Besides the two rounds of Yoga (gag), are two rounds of Core Synergistics- which is a really great but hard workout. And there's Kenpo in there once, plus the X Stretch. I'm thinking about adding the Cardio X to the X Stretch day. I'll see how I feel on the day.
Yeah, that was Stupid ...

Here is my blog post today: May need a pep talk.......
Morning: Today was the first day in a month that i did not have to get up at 6:15 or earlier. I slept in until 9. This threw my whole day off. I have usually already had 2 meals by this time. Anyways I did Cardio X and it went fine. I actually was able to do the dreya rolls a little better this morning.
Evening: I ate a sub w/ an excess of jalopenos a few hours before I worked out. I think this was a bad idea. I was also just mentally off. I felt like stopping alot, I did push through however, I was dissappointed in myself for even considering quiting. My stomach was upset/burning throughout the majority of the Workouts. I did a little worse on my pull ups/ by 1 or 2 on some excercises. During Ab Ripper my legs were extra heavy for the excercises like bicycles, in and outs, crunchy frog. I have been leaning further back on the crunchy frogs which makes them much harder. I made it through all of the excercises except the mason twists again.... this time getting up to 37 reps. I feel more like my back was giving out than my abs. Overall it was not a good day for me mentally or physically. I just gotta remember to keep pushing play I guess.
Good Note: Got some 35 and 40 lb weights which should be good for some of the back excercises, shoulder presses and eventually biceps(maybe 35lb by the 2nd round). I actually already need heavier weights for the back rows(lawnmowers) and locomotives. Oh well at almost a dollar a pound, Santa will have to make a special visit this Christmas.
Yes I posted this on a few Boards.
Matt:
If you go back and read some of my older posts, you'll see that I struggled some days mentally as well. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and push play. It's no big deal. You can't feel like a million bucks everyday. Ups and downs my friend- they happen. The true test of character is how you rise to the challenge. Keep pushing play......
Thanks for the pep talk. Today is my Rest day and then on to the recovery week! Keep bringin it!
