Round 2, Days 17-19

Legs & Back today, did 111 pullups, beating my old record by 11. Feeling good and watching my body shape actually change in this round: my lats are back! No pun intended...

Feeling a bit twingy in my right knee, so I didn't do yoga yesterday (those balance poses are tough on my knees). "All or Nothing" was the old trap I used to fall into. Even though I missed 3 or 4 days in Round 1, I did not go off schedule. My philosophy is this is not just 90 days, it's just the first (and now second) 90 days. If I miss a day, I miss it, then I come back strong tomorrow, and I make sure I keep coming back!

Round 2, Days 15-16

I did Manual Labour X for 6 hours on sunday, so when Monday rolled around, my back was tired all over and I was not up to doing Legs & Back. This morning, I did Plyometrics and burned over 950 calories, according to my fitness watch. The DVD is great as a motivator because I was ready to pack it in about about 40 minutes, but Tony kept me going for another 20! Feeling tired, but it's a good tired.

Round 2, Days 12-14

Hi everyone! Haven't posted for a few days, been busy with an upcoming election (I am the campaign fundraising chair for our area's MLA (Member of [provincial] Legislative Assembly).

Friday went by in a blur, did not get to work out because of a 16 hour day between heavy work load and election stuff. Saturday I tweaked my back (same spot that I did in Round 1), so I was really looking forward to Stretch X this morning. I was not disappointed, the stretch took away my back pain.
