Minor updates.

C25K week 4 went okay. The first day was hard. The second day was harder. The third day was really easy. I can't explain it - maybe the weather? Or maybe my legs wised up and decided to be all mighty and stoic on Friday. Who knows? Regardless, I'm going to go ahead and give week 5 a shot today.

Week five looks pretty scary, honestly. Week four is as far as I got when I tried C25K before getting knocked up, so this is all uncharted territory. Day one should be pretty easy - just three intervals of five-minute runs, which isn't that much different from week four. No worries about today. Day two is two intervals of eight-minute runs, which I should be able to do, but it'll be tough. Day three is a twenty-minute run, and I really don't know if I can do it. I'll give it my best shot, though, and if I can't quite do it, I'll just repeat the week. No problem, no big deal, no stress. No anxiety-induced hyperventilating.

Week two of P90 went just fine. I dropped the ab portion on Saturday because my incision site seemed like it might protest, but otherwise everything was completed just as the doctor Tony Horton ordered. I upped the weights on a couple of exercises today from 5 lb to 7.5 lb, so I feel marginally less pathetic. Shoulder flies continue to be my nemesis, but girl push-ups are totally my bitch (until I get to more than five reps, in which case I turn into a wobbling weakling).

Made the mistake of having half a pan of deeeeeeeelicious homemade mac 'n' cheese for breakfast this morning, thus using up half of my caloric allotment for the day. Must think of something sensible for supper. Chicken curry, maybe. Yum.
