P90X Day Seventeen

Day Seventeen 

Although I'm a couple days late on posting, day seventeen was exhausting.  I did the weight lifting and Ab Ripper X before I had physical therapy.  

I went up a band, so the weight lifting became very difficult.  I am getting better at the Ab Ripper.  This time I was only short by 20 crunches.  I'm getting better!  Not only that, but I've lost three pounds since starting.  Slowly but surely I'm losing weight.  

After the work out, I had physical therapy for my back.  At first it wasn't so bad.  Just the normal exercises...and then they added some.  That sucked.  More weight lifting, then off to a machine I had never used before.  It was more weights, but I used my legs...well more like hips to lift it.  On the side then backwards.  My hips were burning at the end of that.  But I guess its just more of a workout to add to My Fitness Pal

P90X Day Ten and Eleven

Day Ten and Eleven

I didn't have time to post yesterday after the work out, but yesterday did the shoulder and back work out and the ab ripper work out.  I actually enjoyed it.  I could definatly feel my arms working

Yesterday I spent most of the time lifting weights using the bands.  I exchanged bands a few times going from heavy to medium.  I'm hoping to switch to the heaviest band soon.

After that I switched to the ab ripper.  I did about 320 crunches.  Each time I do this work out, I'm able to do more and more.  I've never felt better!!

Today was Yoga...Let me tell you..I HATE IT!!  I hate yoga!  I can't do it as long as the work out wants me too.  The maximum I can do is a half an hour.  My wrists hurt too much from those work outs.  My stupid weak ankles and wrists hold me back from the work out.  I keep pushing it, but I end up collapsing practically.  I swear by the end of this, I will complete the entire yoga work out at least once!! I swear it!

P90X Day Three

 Day Three

Okay, day three is down.  Today's exercises were basically weight lifting for the arms and shoulders, and then doing Ab ripper X.  I am still really sore for yesterday's work-out but I knew today's exercising wouldn't work my legs too much.  My physical therapist is worried about me overworking my back too much, so I have to modify some of the exercises so I won't overdo it.

Since I won't have weights in school, I decided to use the bands.  It's a little bit harder, but it will do.  I've been using the one I found around the house.  Turns out I've been using the medium size one.  I just received five different size bands today to take back to school.  My upper back and arms feel worked, but it's a good thing.  It's still hard for me to walk from yesterday's work-out, but I have completed Day three!

Now that all of that is over with, I'm heading back to the desk to work some.  I've got my "2012 Guide to Literary Agents" book and I'm going to go through it again expand my list of agents.  I'm pumped to work hard.  Both for my health, and for my work/passion.  Not even school will slow me down! I'm going to do well with that too!
