Catching Up: May 1-May 7

On Sunday I went to the master's class at Zona Yoga. On Monday I went to Ashtanga FUNdamentals because I was meeting girlfriends for a movie later and couldn't go to Advanced Vinyasa Flow. On Tuesday I ran three miles and had knee pain. I took Wednesday off and then ran just one and a half miles on Thursday.

My chiropractor told me that if I had knee pain on Thursday that I should take a week off running and see if that helped things heal. He also said I should build up my quads and that should help. So on Friday I did just the leg portion of the P90X Chest and Back video. Oh my gosh - I can hardly walk this morning! I can't believe it - it's not like I haven't done any exercise since I finished P90X. I took today off to recover and I'll go to yoga in the morning.

I weighed myself this morning and I weighed in at 121.5! I'm only 4.5 pounds from my goal weight of 117. Yay!

Finally On the Mend

I had my Remicade infusion this afternoon and I am finally feeling better. I've had a sore throat and fever since my last blog post on the 5th. I think that my Crohn's was flaring and I had Crohn's lesions on my throat. And of course I usually have a fever when I'm flaring too. I'm going to slowly get back into my workouts starting tomorrow morning with a three mile run. I'm still planning on running the Trolley Run this Sunday, although not working out for a week and a half my cause me to have to walk some of it. So this is my workout plan for the rest of this week:

Thursday - Run three miles
Friday - Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones DVD
Saturday - Vinyasa Flow at Zona Yoga
Sunday - Trolley Run

P90X Week 11 Day 2

Today is only Day 2 because I took yesterday off. I've been having some respiratory issues and I knew there was no way my lungs could take Pylometrics yesterday. I did Pylo this morning and I will work out on Sunday now since I took yesterday off. That means almost two weeks of workouts without a break but I did that once before over Christmas break and it was fine.

I weighed 127 pounds this morning! That's four pounds lost since starting P90X and 15 pounds total since June!! Slowly but surely...I'd like to lose at least seven more pounds.

P90X

I'm going to take the plunge and start P90X tomorrow morning. This week will just be a dry run because I don't have all the equipment I need and I haven't had time to read the nutrition book. Then I'll start for real next week.

I took the pre-test tonight that's in the P90X and I actually passed all of the fitness qualifications. I also took my before pictures and measurements but I'm not posting those until I have the after pictures and measurements to offset them! My weight as of this morning was 131 pounds.

Two steps forward, one step back. I didn't keep track of what I ate at the in-laws house, but it was more than I usually eat. I need to get back to recording what I eat daily.

Day 66: Workout

March 20 Workout

Ran/walked 2 miles around the lake at my in-laws house in Seymour, Indiana.

Wednesday Weigh-In

Week 9 Weight - 136.5 pounds
This Week's Loss - 1 pounds
Total Loss - 4 pounds

Finally I am losing again! I have no idea how I pulled it off - I ate a lot of mini Reece's peanut butter cups at the retreat - but I am not complaining. We are leaving for Indiana tomorrow morning to visit Travis's dad and stepmom. I need to be careful and not pig out too much while we're there.

Wednesday Weigh-In

Week 8 Weight - 137.5 pounds
This Week's Loss - 0 pounds
This Week's Gain - 0.5 pounds
Total Loss - 3 pounds

This is getting so discouraging! I do have my period so hopefully the gain is due to water retention. Looking back over my food diary, I probably ate out too much this past week. I have an overnight scrapbooking retreat this weekend - I'm going to have to be really careful not to go overboard.
