Day 66

Week 8, day 7 Rest today. This is the first day I have taken a rest day, but my shoulder is still sore from Friday's CVX workout and while I did yoga yesterday, it really didn't help relieve or lessen the pain I had. It was hard to tell if it were soreness or injury and with the arm or the leg, you can usually tell based on the location, but because the shoulder is both location for the shoulder muscles and the innervation and origination of other muscles it was difficult to tell what was what. Last night, though, I got a pretty good idea as it felt better, and I decided to rip off 20 pushups to give a test and it didn't bother me much. I was hoping that waking up today, it would feel even better, and it does but not quite where I want it.

Tomorrow will start Block 3. The final block of this program and being day 56 today and 4 days until day 60. Thursday will be the day 60 mark and the day I take pics, measurements and weigh. Then it will just be 30 more days and then I will be done with this for the first time. It will not be the last, but I will have finished it fully 1 time and that is all I need to build that foundation. From here I can do another round, 21 Day Fix or whatever else I want. All I know is that I will be doing more. A lot more!

Block 3 takes what you have done and builds on that. The first week and the third week are the same and the second and fourth week are the same, then the final week is like a transition week. They call if Victory Week. Week 9 and 11 schedule looks like this.

• Day 1 Decelerator
• Day 2 Agility X
• Day 3 The Challenge or Complex Upper. (I didn't get the deluxe pack so I didn't get CU)
• Day 4 X3 Yoga
• Day 5 Triometrics
• Day 6 Total Synergistics or Complex Lower (same as Day 3)
• Day 7 Rest or Dynamix

I can already see how different this week is. They take components of block 1 and block 2 and combine them. Let's look at week 10 and 12.

• Day 1 Decelerator
• Day 2 MMX
• Day 3 Eccentric Upper
• Day 4 Triometrics
• Day 5 Pilates X
• Day 6 Eccentric Lower
• Day 7 Rest and Dynamix

So you see how they mix it up and keep not only from week to week the changes, but the changes from what our body learned in block 1 and in block 2. Since tomorrow is Decelerator, I have to preview it today as that is one that I have not done yet.

 All I know is that, other than my shoulder the past few days, I have been feeling better than I have in some time. I drink Shakeology every morning for breakfast and although some may think it is like all the other healthy drinks or meal replacement shakes, it is so much more than that. How to explain it is hard to do. I can tout all the benefits like so many others have and even the company itself talking about how good all the ingredients are, but really the only way to find out is to try it.
