Last week, I completed day 6, which was Kenpo X, and then I had my rest day Wednesday, and that was great. Thursday I did chest and back again. The problem started Friday. My day was so busy. I worked late unexpectedly, so I didn't have time to fit plyo in before my soccer game at 8 p.m. Then after my soccer game, I was so tired. So, so tired. So I went to bed.
I woke up Saturday and completed most of the plyo workout, but then the baby really wanted some attention and was going to sit on the floor and cry until I stopped jumping around. So, I stopped. I had a roller derby game later that day, and I didn't want to wear myself out, anyway.
I played my game, and I tweaked my neck. I've had this ongoing problem with my neck for a couple of years. It all started with whiplash I got while playing roller derby. Ever since, it flares up from time to time, and I get a really stiff painful neck for a couple of days. I hate it. Consider how often Tony warms his neck up, and that might give you an idea of how awful it is to have a bad neck. Anyway, I had planned to still do the arms workout after my game, but I didn't.
I worked out with my trainer Sunday, and then I rested today. Tomorrow I will get back to the arms dvd and continue from there.
The worst part has been my diet. I really failed on it. I'm hoping that with a little discipline, I can get back to it full force tomorrow. So, I guess I won't finish this program in 90 calendar days. That's a bummer, but I'm just going to do my best and forget the rest, ya know? I don't want to tempt myself into giving up by getting really down about having to take a break, and then completely ruining my diet.
Here's my chest and back reps, just to be keeping track:
| Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest and back moves | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| Standard push-up | 20 | 22 | 10 | 9 | ||
| Wide front pull-up | 25 | 20 | 10 | 10 | ||
| Military push-up | 12 | 10 | 6 | 5.75 | ||
| Reverse grip chin-up | 20 | 25 | 10 | 15 | ||
| Wide fly push-up | 15 | 15 | 10 | 9.75 | ||
| Closed grip overhand pull-up | 20 | 20 | 10 | 15 | ||
| Decline push-ups | 12 | 9 | 8 | 7.75 | ||
| Heavy pants | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | ||
| Diamond push-up | 12 | 20 | 8 | 9 | ||
| Lawnmower | 15 | 15 | 20 | 20 | ||
| Dive-Bomber push-up | 8 | 10* | 8 | 8 | ||
| Back fly | 15 | 20 | 20 | 20 | ||
| *The first set of these I did not do on my knees, but the second set I did. | ||||||
This time around, I didn't do anything on my knees, so my reps are a lot smaller. I also sat farther back using the band on the pull-up moves, and really focused on squeezing. For the reps that have a .75, that was because I attempted the rep, but then almost fell on my face trying to come back up. And for heavy pants, lawnmower and back fly, I used my same old 8-lb weight, which isn't enough. But I got a set of 12-pound weights at Target the other day, so here come the gainz.
Man, just catching up on this blog is making me feel lots better and excited and motivated again. Thanks blog!
