The big 200 and what could have been.

No I have not gained 40 lbs and gotten myself back to 200 lbs, this is the 200th post that I have done so I just figured I would mention it. I say and what could have been because I woke up this morning and my leg and foot were killing me and I can't explain why that is, as a matter of fact it hurts to walk a little bit so I am going to try and stay off my feet for the time being. What could have been was today being my last legs and back with Ab Ripper X workout before the end of this cycle but now it looks like that will be tomorrow. I did bring some stuff to workout with and plan on doing the Ab Ripper part before lunch today so that I don't have to do it tomorrow. This will at least let me take 20 minutes off my workout time in the morning. I am going to set the alarm and wake up to workout so I can get it done before the rest of the family wakes up. I have to teach on Saturday afternoons again because school made a last minute change to my schedule so if I workout after everyone is awake I loose that much more time with the family on Saturday and I don't want to do that. I will wake up early tomorrow and do my legs and back, (it should also give my back another day to rest as it is still sore) and wake up again on Sunday and get kenpo out of the way then I will be ready for recovery week and the final 6 days to the end. Let me tell you how my last two workouts went. Wednesday was back and biceps and I added weight where I could and was able to add at least one more rep to all the exercises I was not ready to add weight to on the pull ups, I was able to get at least one more pull up on each of the exercises before going to the chair for help. The next day I was really feeling the fruits of my labor in that respect. My biceps were as sore as they have been in a while and my back was so sore that it hurt to pull doors open. Thursday was my weekly Yoga and I don't have to get into how I feel about the Yoga DVD, but as always I finished feeling really good and much more calm. One thing I did notice is that when I do Yoga in the morning rather than after work like I did last week I really need to work harder to get the flexibility going and I am pretty stiff during the first few moves leading up to the sun salutations but after about 15 minutes or so I start to get loose and all is good. A good thing that happened is my new Yoga DVD came in Wednesday and I was taking a look at it a little bit Thursday morning and the poses they show on the cover all look very familiar to me so I expect that I should be able to get right into that and feel the full intensity of it while I am taking time off before starting my next P90X cycle.  I don't know if I will have time to post this weekend but I am going to try we will just have to see. I have to workout twice, mow the lawn, teach, take care of some things around the house, and try and fit in some hacker training if I can so I have a pretty full plate but I will post if I can find the time.
