Update and Injury

So I'm plodding along nicely in week #1, phase 2 in my second go-round of P90X ... and I sprained my ankle pretty nicely while participating on a scavenger hunt with the middle school at my church. The assignment we were working on was getting a picture of road kill and while getting out of the car, and onto the curb, my left foot rolled under ... immediate pain! It seemed to get better as the evening wrapped up and the swelling continued. I iced it when I got home, the swelling seemed to steady, but it became more painful to walk on. No ER visit yet ... but I'm wondering.

Progress with pull ups!

Just a quick note here to mark my progress with pullups. This morning was Legs/Back followed by Ab Ripper. One of my highlights with this routine is right off the bat, I get to max out on my reverse grip pull ups. Today I set a personal record by doing 15 straight! I did 14 last week. Back in week one, I could barely do 4 straight. In addition, I also have set a record this morning with my total number of pullups, but I don't feel like adding them all up right now!

My P90X Update

I haven't been updating my P90X blog because I'm not taking it as seriously after doing it the first 90 days. I am sticking to most of the workouts, but I'm not as "hard core" as I was. For example, in week one, I can remember missing Plyometrics on Tuesday, and I missed one of the Ab Ripper workouts. During week two, I missed doing Legs/Back, Kenpo, and an Ab Ripper workout. With this, I'm looking to take baby steps to eating better too. My ice cream and desserts are in small portions.

I did Yoga X after work tonight, and I felt really strong in most of my poses. I love the sweat that comes without any high impact work. I've also noticed I like the evening workouts because I'm stronger and more flexible. When I'm doing weights, I can use more weight, and generally get in a few more reps per exercise. As it turns out, I'm happy to get in the workout whether it's in the morning or evening ... especially if I can get JR to workout with me!
