Cardio X

Whew! Cardio X today. Sweated buckets this time! I pushed myself as far as I wanted to push today, I think. Caught my HR up at 170 at one point and I thought that was enough. Brought it back down again after that, as I was panting and panting. Whew... trying to do the X after having a blood donation AND on my cycle at the same time. Sheesh... that was probably poor choice in timing for sure. :rolleyes: I'm sure my body's crying out for more iron and trying to make more RBCs like a madman.

But I feel good that I did it okay, and didn't BONK, and that I got it in for the day. I had a busy day and never had a chance to even THINK about PPing until after I got the kids to bed. So there I was, 8pm- putting in the DVD! Not my usual time, but I didn't want to miss a day. Not yet, not this early in the game, and not when I really didn't need to skip.

One day, I will be able to do those X-jumps at the end of each Squat X-Press things in Cardio (done without weights, and at a fast rate). Today (and thus far) I have only enough energy at that point to just FINISH the round of plain squat X-presses.

And one day, I will be able to do the Chaturanga Iso's and Runs... today when I was going down with the Vinyasa for the Up Dog, I would stay down just a little longer before pushing up... just to do a mini-Chaturanga Iso right there. And today I felt like I was stronger while doing that than I was last week. Yay!

Tomorrow I will try to get the workout done in the morning. It's hard trying to do these at night like this. Food-wise, I don't think I ate enough. When I have work that day, I tend to miss lunch and end up with a HUGE gap between breakfast and some mid-afternoon meal. Not good, but it happens ALOT when I work. I'll have to start packing a protein bar with me or something.
