The ski trip we took was great but it really messed up my P90X flow. I'm not blaming anything but myself for it but day 8 was the last day I did any P90X. This will be changed as of tonight thanks to a casual inquiry from my brother Ted. While I don't blame anyone but myself I figure I should at least explain myself a little.
I had fully planned on doing some of the P90X stuff while on the ski trip (particularly the arms/shoulders/back/and abs) but I was just too tired at the end of each day of skiing to really get fired up for it. The cabin actually had enough room for me to get in my own spot and do the exercises but I just didn't do it. Then, on the last day of skiing I strained my right shoulder some while helping Shannon learn to ski. It was really stiff and sore so I decided to take a few days off from the workouts to let it recover; sadly, however, those few days turned into a week.
I was actually going to start back up last night and thus shifting my chest and shoulders day to Mondays from Tuesdays but I ended up being a work until well after 10pm the last two nights (yes, on Sunday) so when I got home last night I went to bed. However, on Sunday while driving home from work I did get an unexpected leg workout. A guy's car had run out of gas on the main street I was on - it was around midnight but there was still quite a bit of traffic so I parked nearby and helped him push his car out of the way. There was a gas station about one block away so I suggested we just push it there. It turns out the road we had to push it up was a steeper incline than I realized. By the time we got the car up there my legs were like Jello, my breathing was stupid heavy, and I was dead tired. I stopped leaning on the car and was instantly dizzy. I really over-exerted myself pushing that damn car. I walked back to my car and by then the cold had settled in my lungs and I couldn't stop coughing. It was really uncomfortable. I actually had a cough through most of Monday. It is gone now though and my shoulder feels pretty good so I plan on starting back at "week 2" all over again since I have basically been off for 2 weeks. Expect an update tonight.
