Sort of. I didn't get to Yoga last night because I was feeling icky, so I thought I could at least do that first tough half, and then do today's Core as scheduled. My "eyes must be bigger than my stomach" because I bit off more than I could chew!
I got through the Yoga to the start of the stretching stuff okay. Didn't do the Crane though. And then I put in Core and got started... and then later bonked! Or the ickies came back! Or something. I just didn't feel right and I stopped. I just have that weird "I'm about to get sick with something" feeling, but then it never quite takes hold, either. I might feel better after I eat something. But then I feel icky because I've eaten something. Then I might feel better because I am skipping a meal. Then I'm feeling icky because I skipped a meal. It's just weird, and I'm not sure what it is. It could partially be emotional exhaustion. I know it isn't physical exhaustion because I am getting sleep each night. Not as much as I'd like (because I feel like I could just lay in bed half the day and my body wouldn't care to move) but I can't say I have been battling insomnia at all. I'm too tired to have insomnia, actually.
So tomorrow I'm officially 'calling it' for P90X. I'll do my measurements and pics and make an official end to this, although I won't actually stop. I just have to have some sort of closure to what I started at the beginning of the year, even though I haven't been doing the X 'by the book' much for the past month anyway. I'm not expecting much change or improvement from Day 60, but I'm hoping that I will at least show that I've maintained the progress I had back then. If I've maintained, I will be glad that the month of emotional turmoil and not being motivated- will not have set me back like it could've.
Food-wise... things have been VERY sporadic for what is healthy and what is not. I've had decent meals that would make Michi proud (if there is a person that Michi's Ladder is named after) and then others that are almost the equivalent of having cookies and chocolate as a meal. Or just plain skipping meals completely (which I know isn't good either). I'm sure that would have an effect on how icky I'm feeling too- but my energy and focus just isn't 'there' when it comes to what I am eating. And I'm lacking focus on the workouts, too... but I'm trying to keep them going the best I can, even if they're half-ass workouts. (or like tonight, half workouts)
Day by day... that's all I can do.

Uh - no. I would not call that a half workout. I would call that ONE AND A HALF workouts. You are being too hard on yourself.
Hang in there. Life is throwing so much at you right now. It's no wonder you are feeling the effects (could the stomach thing be stressed related, perhaps?).
