Day 21: Rest

Again, I meant to do Stretch X, but I failed. I know the next several days are going to be tough, since I'm visiting my parents. My diet's being thrown out the window for the next several days. My Day 30 is coming up quickly, but I know I won't see any results in my pics nor in my measurements. I just have to go that much harder when I get back!

Day 20: Kenpo X

I woke up extra early to do Kenpo since I had a final in the morning and was making a 6 hour trip to my parents' house for about a week. To me, Kenpo is the easiest workout, so it wasn't hard to wake up for it. However, because it is getting a little too easy, I think I may buy some arm or leg weights (I believe I read that on someone's blog around here or perhaps it was in one of the posted comments). I think that may spice it up a bit.

So close to recovery week! This is going by so fast!

Day 19: Legs & Back, and Ab Ripper X

Such a cheese-o-matic picture of Tony, so I had to post it.

Today's workouts went well. Not a whole lot to say, except that anything's better than yoga. I think I'd even elect to do wall squats before yoga. Speaking of wall squats, I'm lasting much longer. But man, do those freaking burn!

Well, this week, I haven't been following my diet at all. I've been eating out a lot, which I don't get to do often, so I seized the opportunity. Too bad. I don't feel guilty at all. In fact, I'm going to visit my parents for a week, and I'm going to eat a lot of awesome food. I deserve it!

Day 18: Yoga X

I hate yoga. Hate it. I had to take every ounce of energy to make myself do it. I wanted to skip it sooo badly! But I did it. And to make it up to myself, I ate a Baconator and a Frosty. Yum.

Recovery week is quickly approaching, which means I have the pleasure of doing Yoga X twice. Joy.

This yoga stuff better pay off in the end!!

Day 17: Shoulders & Arms, and Ab Ripper X

For the majority of today's exercises, I definitely could have increased the weights. I'm no longer awkward with side tri-rises, but my flip-grip twist tricep kickbacks are still not very pretty.

Why does that blond chick annoy me? I can't remember her name, but she's in the Shoulder & Arms, and Legs & Back videos. I hate no idea what it is, but she annoys me! I'm a bad person, I know.

I did 20 Fifer scissors before I had to take a mini-break. Woo! Now if I could only conquer those V-Up/Roll-Ups...my form is just awful!

Yoga tomorrow. Barf!

Day 16: Plyometrics

Another not so great day workout-wise. I skipped the gym again to sleep in. I really felt like I needed another day to do that. But I will go tomorrow.

Plyo was bad for me as well. I felt so drained and exhausted, even during the first set of exercises. I took a bunch of breaks. I'm guessing a lot of things are weighing on me and it's affecting my workouts. I should have learned by now that med school does that to you.

I'm a little sore in my arms and back, which shows that the resistance bands pushed me a bit further. Me likey.

Day 15: Chest & Back, and Ab Ripper X

Yay! It's week 3 already! Time is just flying by. I took some measurements this morning, along with my weight. I've gained exactly 3 pounds since I started, and lost 0.5% body fat. My measurement haven't changed that drastically. The only changes were in my waist (lost 1 inch) and my hips (lost 0.5 inch). I was hoping I'd see at least a 0.25 inch lost in my arms and legs, but no such luck. The time will come. I must be patient.

I didn't watch the DVD today. Instead, I went by the book and did the exercises in front of the TV to change things up a bit. More fun that way! I also bought 30 lbs resistance bands (that was the highest they had at Dick's, or at least from what I saw) and used them in addition to my pull-up bar. I would do what I could on the pull-up bar (with the assistance of a chair, of course), then head to my resistance bands and do more. I can feel it in arms and back, and I think it'll supplement the workout nicely. Military and diamond push-ups are getting easier, but my dive bombers are still ugly. I can't wait until I can do 1 nice dive bomber!

Plyo tomorrow! Yesss!!!
