Day 709 - Chest + Back + Balance

I took the night off last night, so I got n the first half of the workout tonight instead. I plan to finish it up tomorrow night along with Ab Ripper. I weighed in today at 145, so I need to start doing better with my eating.

Day 708 - 5k run & PAP Upper

The weather was actually pretty nice today. It was above 40 when I got out for my run. I did 5k, but had to stop at half way and walk for a minute before making the turn. My initial pace was pretty quick, so that explains being wiped at the halfway mark.

This afternoon I did PAP Upper. That felt good to work the upper body and lower all in one day. I also stayed within my 2400 calories today. Bonus.

Day 707 - X2 Yoga

Okay, Wednesday was a rest day and I just plain slacked off on Thursday because it was a brutal work day and I felt like crap by the time I got home.  But, tonight I got back into the swing of things by doing X2 Yoga.  I did do Yoga last week, so it's good that I didn't skip again.  I also did 14 chin-ups before the Yoga workout. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be better, so I plan to get out for a run in the morning.  I'm actually looking forward to that.

Day 706 - X2 Ab Ripper

Tonight I started off with Ab Ripper and then finished the rest of the workout that I had started last night with Chest + Back + Balance. It wasn't too bad tonight, so I suspect it won't be long until I can get through the workout without having to split it. But, I must confess that I like doing it over a 2-night span because it allows my arms to recover some and get a quick second workout to build muscle.  Eating went pretty well today. Yesterday I was way too high on calories, so hopefully tonight I can do a better job of keeping my eating in check.

Day 705 - Chest + Back + Balance

I got in my workout tonight. I did about 2/3 of this workout and plan to finish it tomorrow along with Ab Ripper. I can start to see some definition returning, so that is encouraging me to keep up with the workouts. My back continues to feel pretty good. Lately I've been eating more, so I have to be careful not to overdo the calories. I'm staying pretty steady at 142 right now.

Day 704 - Base & Back

It's been months since I last did this workout, so I had some doubts about trying it.  But, I had my last visit (hopefully) to the physical therapist this week and he said I was now doing well enough that I should be able to continue to manage my ongoing recovery from home.  So, I thought I would give this workout a try again.  I remember it being quite the cardio workout and once again it didn't disappoint on that.  I considered skipping the second half and doing Ab ripper instead, but decided to try to get all the way through it.  I'm glad I did.  I'm pretty tired after finishing, but I know I got a lot out of it.

Day 703 - 5K Run in Florida

I forgot to post this on Wednesday. I was in Orlando for a conference, so I got out for a 5K run in the morning in some nice weather.  My time was around 8:45/mile.  Not great, but not terrible either.  It's was extremely flat, so that helped some.  Later that day I spent the entire day walking around the conference from booth to booth.  One of the guys I was with had a fitbit on and he said we did 17,000 steps that day.  Okay, that will work.
