Celebrating! The ol' stroke-beaten, dystonia body has made it 3 weeks as of today. Three weeks, 6 days a week! A week from Monday I take my second set of pictures. That's a scary thought. LOL Anyway, it went great and I felt terrific afterwards. I think a lot has to do with not only my body slowly adjusting to the new schedule, but downing vitamins.
I'm taking:
- multi-vitamin
- calcium/magnesium/D-3
- CoQ10
- B12
- Vitamin C with rose hips
Anyway, it's helped me go from having to take a nap afterwards, to doing what I did today:
- Ride scooter in town to deliver AVON & pick up litter.
- Work in mom's garden, clearing & picking green beans & tomatoes.
- Clearing my garden.
- Hauling debris to the compost bin.
- Sanitizing the litterbox.
- Hand-washing my sleeping bag.
I'm impressed! : )
Have a great weekend everyone! See ya Sunday when we begin week 4 with sculpting!
Totally underestimated today's workout - and that's an understatement. When I watched the vid earlier it didn't look like the workout was going to be that big a deal. I watched and never winced once. Where every time I watched a Tae Bo Boot Camp vid, I winced through the entire thing. So, the Power 90 In-Home Boot Camp
sweat day was going to be nothing. Ha! The joke was on me.
I lost track how many times I had to hit the pause button because I was going at it too hard. Glad I was alone because it was beginning to get embarrassing.
Another shocker was it's the first time I had chest pains when working out. I slowed down considerably after that. Kinda freaked me out.
Any who, really liked the power yoga part & of course the "martial arts" part. Power yoga showed me how inflexible I've allowed myself to become again. Martial arts? Bang on. : )
Gave myself a 10 for today's workout. I gave it my best and learned a lot about the shape my body is in. I've obviously not been pushing hard enough in my own made-up workouts with my: total gym, gazelle, medicine ball and kettlebells. Wait! Correct that. Aerobically I haven't been going at it hard enough or at least not hard enough to keep up with the sweat vid for Power 90.
Also, left out what I learned yesterday about eating. Going back to the P90x chart to track my food, & eating 3 snacks/day, not 2. It should make a big difference & I won't overeat. : )
So, tomorrow's workout is back to sculpting. Note to self: Keep watching that form. Slow down. Focus. Breathe. : )
