So this was a good week as far as exercise. It was a good week in the food department as well, but exercise is way more fun to talk about. Not much to say about food other than "Successfully avoided gorging myself on cake. Crisis averted." Anyway, exercise - let's break it down a bit.
Week three of Couch to 5k completed! And much more easily than I expected, too, based on the first day of it. Retrospectively, I think my difficulty with day one was at least partially due to my legs being near-crippled by my first day of P90. By Friday's run, my legs had gotten used to the additional workouts and weren't sore any more. Also, Monday had probably the worst weather that I've ever worked out in - it was so hot and humid is was like taking a jog in molten caramel. Friday, on the other hand, was merely blisteringly hot. Regardless of the reasons for my easier run, week 3 day 3 went quite well. I could've probably run for a couple more minutes after my last three-minute interval. I'm simultaneously excited and scared of starting week four on Monday. I'm pretty sure I can do it, but I suspect it won't be fun.
Week one of Power 90 completed! I'm pretty pleased with my choice, honestly. It's hard enough that I wind up sweaty and a little sore after each workout, but not so hard that I can't do it or hurt myself (so far). I was hurting pretty bad after the first two or three days, but now I think I've acclimated and I'm feeling good. I think one week is too early to be showing REAL results, but I swear I'm better at push-ups already. I'm using the actual correct muscles to lift myself up now rather than just heaving myself up with whichever direction of wobbling seems to work.
