REBOOT Begin full P90X again

Hi there!
Well a fair amount has happened since May, I continued to train for the triathlon and felt rather good about it. Then when cycling on vacation (July 5th) I had a wreck, flipped over the handlebars and landed on my back in an intersection. Good helmet check, roadrash and a pretty bruised back.

I opted to pass on the Tri, lower back is still tender and running/cycling is not very fun.

So here's the new plan, P90X (back willing) in the mornings, yoga MWF with wife at lunch, and relaxation yoga/stretching prior to bed. May start rolling in some 10 minute trainer too.

I'm starting this round at a lower body weight and body fat than ever before, so I'm hoping this time the 6 pack is going to finally, finally, FINALLY show up. If not I may just draw them in with a Sharpie.

Oh, and today is day 194 without any alcohol. How about that?

------------
Got up an hour late but still knocked out Chest and Back, took it pretty easy and it went well. Abripper was pretty meh, can't do half the exercises (the first 4 and mason twists ect) since that position has my entire body weight on my bruised back.

6:30 Chest/Back/Abripper, 16oz of iced green tea
7:46 20oz of coffee, 2 multivitamins, 2 vitamin Cs, green smoothie (apple, banana, spinich, frozen berries, 2 scoops of vanilla whey protein, ice and water) and a bowl of plain popcorn for breakfast
10:30 8oz 1%milk, 2 scoops chocolate whey protein
12:30 8oz 1%milk, 2 scoops chocolate whey protein, bowl of plain popcorn, 2 chocolate chip cookies. (willpower, why have thou forsaken me?)
2:00pm Serving of almonds, glass of iced green tea, 20 minutes of Yoga - wife's intro.
5:30pm 12oz Odoul's, 3.5oz of grilled chicken, serving of homemade hummus. One scoop if icecream (ARRG!)
7:00pm 45 minutes of chasing the boy around on his bike - he's learning!
9:00pm Holy Moly I are tired!

May 21st What happened?

Well, quite a bit actually. Let me summarize.
Burpees/pullups challenge has been called off. I've got some tendonitus in my elbows and even a full week off didn't help too much. Oh well, knocked out over 4100. Still running and preparing for the Tri in July and trying to do yoga as much as possible. Still making good on the resolutions for the year and I'm happy to report they survived five days of open bar at the out of town conference. Was nice to find out I am infact still able to hold my end of conversations and still be interesting without a buzz. I'll admit it's more work, and I probably benefitted from everybody ELSE drinking but hey, I'll take it.

Miles for 2009: 132 so far.

Friday, May 8th. Day 40

So today I'll hit 4000 burpees/pullups. Wow.

Tuesday ran 4 with Neighbor Sanjai, Thurs did a solo 8.3 and got soaked in a surprise shower.

Miles for 2009: 113.3 so far.

Not dead! Day 36, Monday

Been doing alright. Not great but alright. Here on day 36 I'm in a hole. Pullups have been hurting and I slacked off entirely for 2 days. So if I can do 300 today I'll be caught up. Don't see that happening but I will do 100 burpees for sure. We'll see about the pullups.
Have put together a new schedule involving a LOT of yoga, have gotten way out of practice and started back over the weekend. Have lost a lot of flexibility and I think that's part of why I'm hurting as much as I am. Will keep you posted.

Knocked out 170 burpees and pullups today. Still owe 130, will keep paying up 50-80 day until I get caught up. I am tired.

Oh snap, I've not been updating the miles.

4/26 10
4/28 5 miles
4/30 3 miles

So, 119 for the year so far I guess.

Saturday Day 27

Been a pretty rough week. Had to put the family dog to sleep. Fell behind on the 10000 day challenge a couple of times, rallied and am caught up to 2700 today. Took family to the zoo and did a fair amount of walking today. Thinking about a long run tomorrow.

Saturday Day 20

Friday, day 19: Work was a zoo, dropped the ball again and only knocked out 40 pullups. So 1860 burpees and 1800 pullups (100 behind!)
Rode 18.5 on the bike today, did 140 burpees and 200 pullups (eventually) to take us to 2000 for the day. 1/5th of the way there!
