Day 76

Week 10, Day 3 Eccentric Upper done. The workout was great and I improved in areas where I could. The only thing I don't like with the eccentric exercises is that the time only allows me to do a small amount of reps (10 is what they do with each move). While I like the work I do with this workout, I would like it to be like Incinerator where you get one move to do the 10 reps slowly and then one for 30 seconds. That way I can do more after the fact and "burnout" with each set of 2.

This week although only halfway done, seems to be moving right along. I still have Pilates X tomorrow, Triometrics and Eccentric Lower then Dynamix on Sunday. I have more or at least an equal number of workouts to finish up the week, but it all seems so easy or like nothing. I know I won't be saying that tomorrow when it's time to do pilates haha. I am still trying to get into pliates, but I really want to like it and excel at it. I do love yoga, and think that pilates would be an easy crossover to get into. Right now, though, it is not so easy and getting the breathing down is still tough.

I feel much stronger than when I started. I have gotten through 41 days of the 100 day pushup challenge. My elbow has hurt at times, but while I am doing the pushups or my workout, I never feel any pain. My shoulder has been acting up from time to time. I think I am doing ok and getting the results I can, but I just have to be smart and not push myself with a strain or some other type of injury instead of it being sore. Tony Horton had a good comment on one of his YouTube videos and it went something like this: If you have pain in the middle of the arm it's soreness, if you have it at the ends it's most likely an injury and take some time off to let it heal. I am paraphrasing really, but that was the gist of it. Be sure to head your body's warnings and if you have a pain, make sure you know the difference between soreness from your workout or an injury from your workout.

All in all I find that things are going the way I like in this part of my journey. I have had weight loss and it feels that even though the numbers don't show it, I can tell it in my clothes and the way I feel. Speaking of clothes. I had planned on waiting to buy some when I lost more weight, but my jeans ripped due to them being too loose haha and well now I will have to buy some. They look ridiculous on me anyway as do my old shorts. I did buy 2 new pairs of shorts and a few new shirts not too long ago, but will be glad when new clothes are a must because the others are so big that I look foolish. It is nice to see, will be good to get into older clothes that have not fit in a long while. Every day one step closer.
