Core X

Humpfh... never got my Sunday paper yesterday. :-P

Anyway, I got Core X done today, in the evening after I got the kids to bed. I just didn't feel like it all day, plus I had things to get done. I finally took the Christmas tree and decorations down. I swept up all the dust and junk that accumulates under the tree for over a month. Even a fake tree leaves all sorts of 'pine needles'! I got the turtle tank cleaned. I got the rest of the laundry done and put away. And then I felt REALLY tired in the afternoon- not sure why. It was that all-protein, no carb feeling even though I hadn't had an all-protein, no carb diet all morning. Or even yesterday. So I'm not sure what it was. I even took a short nap in the afternoon, and didn't wake up feeling any more refreshed than when I laid down. Ugh on that. Thankfully though- there was NO headache. Just felt blah and tired.

But once I got the kids to bed, I figured I'd better get that workout in, or I'd end up missing a day, and I didn't want to do that! Plus, I was feeling a little better after having some dinner. So there it was. Core X at night. And the numbers:

Stacked foot pushups: 16 (8 each side)
Leaning crescent lunges: 24, used 5lb weights
Squat runs: used 5-lb weights this time- had to go much slower
Sphinx pushups: 20
Low lateral skaters: tried to do foot tap this time- that's HARD! Can't imagine doing the leg raise!
Lunge & Reach: used 8lb weights, did fine
Prison cell pushups: 8, no middle pushup
Side hip raise: 20/20
Squat X-press: 25/5lbs
Lunge kickback curl press: used 5lb weights, stopped when there was still 36 secs. left on time clock
Towel hops: hopped low both legs, but stopped at 45 secs.
High & under pushups: did however many- the whole time
Dreya roll: 10
Chaturanga news: didn't even attempt the chaturanga run, but did plank run. Couldn't do it all the way through, lasted til that last chaturanga run set. Chaturanga Iso: Did plank from knees, then down for chaturanga on knees, then back up to plank-knees... and made it through. Still trying to modify and build up to doing it the right way, all the way. Got a long way to go!
Table dip leg raise: 30, 15 each side

Man... that is just a tough workout. But I do like it. It makes me WORK.
