Day 2/90

Weight - 274.4

Plyo fucking metrics.
Are you kidding me?

I went to bed at 10:30 last night - exhausted and for good reason. I was up at 6:30 and my whole body was sore. I had a nice twinge in my back from the declined pushups but its nothing a visit to my trusty chiropractor (brother) can't fix. All this tells me is that I need to be more conscious about my form when I'm doing these workouts.

I dragged my ass out of bed - motivated by the fact that my wife got up at 4AM, did Plyo, and then is going to work a 12 hour shift at the hospital, and go to a 3 hour class afterward. Had a cup of coffee, and then went downstairs to fire up the workout.

I got it going with the warmup, and broke a sweat within a minute. By the time the warmup was done, I was covered in sweat and ready for a break! I pushed on, but right off the bat had to modify a lot of the moves to fit my ability. Again - not making excuses, just being as practical as I can be. I've done plyo before and coming down from repetitve jumps with 270 lbs laid me up for almost a month last year. I struggled, yelled, cursed, and cried, but I persevered. At about 30 min in, my phone rang, and it was work, calling me in on an issue. I got about a 5 minute break, chugged a bunch of water, told them I'd be in shortly, and then went back downstairs to do as much as I could.

I got the workout down to about the 15 min remaining mark before I had to go in. I was cooked, but I did what I could. I owe myself another 20 min or so of workout at some point today. Maybe i"ll hit the spin bike when I get home from work.

In all, this exercise is going to fry me. I will push at it as long as it makes sense - and i'm not injuring myself or modifying the workouts so much that I don't get ANY workout out of it. I know the alternative is the Cardio DVD. I just want to give this my all and try it. If I can't complete it next week, I'll go to the Cardio.

Also - I found a new treat. Last night I ate plain yogurt (got some from a local farm - chunks and shit in it. Nice!) mixed with EAS whey. I threw a splenda in and it wasn't bad at all. Turned into a nice 50gm Protein 25gm Carb low fat meal. I had the same thing for breakfast this morning too. I'm eating my oatmeal at work now and trying to get through the day. I'd love to have a quick visit to the Chiro but it doesn't look like it's going to work.

Big goals for today now that the workout is done? - Get a spin in to make up for lost traction on the workout. Behave at the fundraiser tonight. Order something delicious but nutritious at the club for late dinner.
