Is it Lame That I Spent My Birthday Working Out?
Yesterday was my 33rd birthday. Since all my closest friends seem to hate each other at the moment, I decided I'd rather spend it alone than to try to get people who are currently at odds with each other together for drinks or whatnot and have to deal with all that stress and tension.

P90X Days 2-8
Well, other than logging the minutes, I'm a little bit behind on my P90X posting. Sorry about that. Here's the update for days 2-8.

I'm Pretty Sure "X-TREME!!!" Products Went Out at the End of the Last Century, but I'll Give This a Shot Anway.
So I worked out like, a lot yesterday. 3 and 1/2 hours spread out over the course of the day. An hour of P90X in the morning before work, 30 minutes of walking around my office building on my morning and afternoon breaks, 30 minutes of intervals at the gym after work and 90 minutes of hot yoga after the intervals.

Hot Yoga Plus I Knocked Out the Dips Feat
Did my last 3 sets of dips before I did an hour of hot yoga. Headstand has gotten really easy for me so my Friday night teacher is going to show me some other headstand variants because apparently there's like 7 different ways to do a headstand.
This should be interesting... :o)

4-0 For the Week in Racquetball
I played another hour of racquetball last night after work. It was so much fun. My left hip finally stopped bothering me (I'm thinking it started in the first place because I'm a lefty so most of my swinging on Tuesday was on that side) so I decided to do another Challenge Court at the Y.

Destroyed My Upper Body This Eve
So my left hip is still really sore from racquetball yesterday; probably as a result of maybe not stretching my legs well enough beforehand as well as the fact that I'm left-handed so I was swinging through that side the majority of the time I played last night.

Racquetball/Feats Progress
If I kick it into high gear, I think this could be the most successful SW challenge I've tackled so far. I believe I can complete everything except for possibly the Eat Wild Feat. I generally eat pretty healthy, but even the salads that I eat frequently come in a bag; at least the greens do. Plus, I can't eat them without salad dressing which I'm guessing is a big no-no.

I used to only shower at the gym if I had to go someplace that wasn't home immediately after working out. Since I moved this past weekend and am now only 5 minutes from my primary Y location, I figure the point is moot since I can now get in my shower at home shortly after working out.

Somebody call the Old Spice people. I have an idea for their next commercial... :oD

Right, but that's not necessarily bad for you; especially as, according to my doctor, my cholesterol levels are perfect. Also, the yolk contains all the vitamins and whatnot. http://www.healthiertalk.com/go-ahead-and-eat-yolk-0579
Posted in response to: MEH90X
I might give that a shot. Other than an occasional yogurt, I'm pretty much completely off cow's milk dairy. I'd heard that goat's milk wasn't nearly as bad for people though...
What's wrong with the full egg though? Everything I've heard says that the yolk is where most of the good stuff is.

Thanks msh, I'll definitely check it out. :o)
Posted in response to: MEH90X
Yeah, but it looks like lilbeaz just catch-up mlogged about 450 minutes of DVD workouts so unless I want to start doing P90X doubles I think I'm gonna have to settle for 2nd. :o)
Posted in response to: Saluting the Daily Hour at 850K
Man, if I'd only started P90X a couple of weeks earlier I might have had a chance to pass lilbeaz in the DVD workout category, but I think we'll hit a Million Minutes before then. :o)

Awesome. :o)

Thanks ya'll! I appreciate it.
Not gonna lie; I may or may not have had some cake and ice cream last night that a (non-bickering) friend of mine made for me so I haven't been completely good eating-wise, but I've not been horrible either. :o)

Bloomington, eh? I'm originally from Ft. Wayne myself. I was never a big funnel cake person, but the fried cheese got me every time I went to the fair. :oD

@sadie---Yeah, originally from Indiana, but I moved down here 4 years ago.

I vote go to the gym, but do something relatively easy; some light cardio or maybe a yoga class. Restorative yoga would probably be perfect if your gym offers it.
Posted in response to: To gym or not to gym
@Sadie--Well, you don't actually have to do pullups. They recommend using resistance bands if you're not ready for pullups yet.

Will you ever have that recipe again?

Ugh. All this talk about cake has resulted in me getting "MacArthur Park" stuck in my head.

That pic gets my vote for your new profile pic. ;)

@Sandyliz Bah, I can't hurt you. You're already hurt and that wouldn't be very nice. Well played. Wanna be nemeses? :o)
