Last week, and now this week, have turned out to be irregular weeks for working out. Due to some unforeseen circumstances on Friday, I did not end up doing my cardio. Additionally, I did not do my strength training yesterday. The cardio I made up. I did both strength training and cardio on Monday, which was very tiring. As for yesterday, I opted out of my strength training because my shoulder was not cooperating. I did a few pushups and realized that it was not going to happen. Perhaps I overexerted myself on Monday.
So I’m down one strength training session. Since the purpose of my doing P90 is to lose weight, I’m not terribly worried about missing one day of strength training. I can add in another cardio session somewhere to make up for the calories. I’m more concerned about not hurting myself. I’m going to take my time tomorrow when I resume my strength training. That means I may go back to knee-pushups rather than standard ones for a few sessions. I also may drop my weight down a bit on a couple of exercises. I’m not body building after all.
I’m pleased with my results so far. My 30 day check in is on Monday. I’m not expecting fantastic results, and honestly I’m not expecting a lot of weight loss given my recent stress eating due to classwork and dissertation deadlines. I am feeling a bit more energetic though and I’m definitely feeling accomplished. I don’t need a scale or tape measure to tell me that.
