Waking up this morning, I suddenly remembered why I have quit P90X in the past. As I climbed out of bed, every one of my upper body muscles yelled at me to STOP moving. Shoulders, pecs, biceps, lats... I don't even know what all of those are but my sports massage therapist tsk tsk'd me while doing something evil and painful to every one of them. (Also while working on my planters fasciitis, and she will probably yell at me for doing a jump training workout tonight. Oops.)
So I woke up early, and rushed to the hospital to go to rounds. This has been explained to me as a team-wide meeting where you talk about each patient. During my orientation, my boss said "I'd like for you to come to 9am rounds every day, but at least twice a week." Great! Except I teach at the university until 9:15a. Oops again. So I tried to go today to get the gist of rounds. I arrived early (a first) and hung around until 9a. Then I asked a nurse where I should go for rounds. Her response? "Oh, we decided to have them at 7am this morning." Great.
I also picked up my fixed car, dropped off my rental car and packed for the beach which is where I am at currently and will be here until Friday morning.
I have realized that having so many summer goals makes packing a little more complicated and my bags a bit heavier. For instance, I have two 5 pound dumbbells and a yoga block and mat in my bag. A far cry from my usual stuffed bag with clothes I'll never end up wearing.
I did the Plyometrics video tonight which is some foreign language for "Devil sent to torture you and your bad knee." The host, Tony, kept saying that this was the mother of all the workouts, why there's an X in the title. So it totally makes sense to schedule me to do it on only my second day, feeling clumsy and sore from the first day. Hmm... I made it through all of the video with some modifications (except the Bonus Round because it didn't really feel like a bonus of anything good.)
I weighed myself today and that gave me the motivation to press play on this video at 10pm at the beach. I weighed in at 144 (in work clothes in the middle of the day) with a BMI of 22, and a body fat % of 22.1. The 144 is a bit of a bummer since I had gotten down to 134 from 154. But hopefully some of that is just leftover water weight from my period and not new fat from Disney Chicken Finger and Fries baskets. (yes, multiple baskets. Don't judge me.)
Hopefully, I will get to relax over the next few days. But I also have to create the syllabus and schedule for my class that starts on Monday and fix their e-learning website. Tomorrow, I get to sleep in and then have beach/pool time if the weather is nice. Then do another P90X workout... Can't wait.

P2X - What are you smuggling in your bag?
