No don’t panic, I am not giving up on my power 90
quest. Nor did I decide not to do Master
Series next. But I was forced to change
my workout plans Friday night and end up with a unique workout experience.
I didn’t get home until Friday afternoon. After Batman, I slept on my brother-in-law’s
couch. Turns out I can push through a
midnight show, but my ability to drive at 3:30 in the morning is a little more
limited. So I slept on a couch and woke
up and played some video games. (Always
a good morning) Luckily my
brother-in-law is also on a get in shape kick, so no bacon for breakfast,
instead instant oatmeal.
After getting home, I took a nap (another side
effect of a mid night show on my 35 year old body) and when I woke up I decided
to head over and work out about 8:00. Shortly
after 8:00, I was getting ready to head over to the gym when my mom and brother
stopped by to visit. I haven’t seen my
mom since Easter so it would have been rude just to leave so I stayed and
chatted. By the time everyone left it was
closing in on 11:00 and my time to use my in-laws basement had come to an
end. My weights and video were there
however and I was left with using something we had at home.
If you had asked me if I would be doing Power Yoga on
a pink yoga mat a year ago I would have laughed. But I found myself at 11:00 at night, with
Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga and my wife’s yoga mat to keep my feet from
slipping. At first, I thought this
workout was well below me and I pushed through the warm up and the first dozen
downward dogs without breaking a sweat.
Then the pain hit, as I held planks and Warrior II
my legs began to burn, my shoulders began to ache and my knees began to
shake. I dropped my plank on more than
one occasion and during a side plank I lost my balance and fell completely over. (My lovely wife got a good chuckle out of
that one). Well I won’t be underestimating
that one any time soon and may try to do it again on days where I have some energy
left after my own workout.
I kept a food journal today but it isn’t pretty!
Breakfast: 1 package Quaker instant oatmeal (130Calories)
Lunch:
Jimmy Johns #10 no Mayo (614 Calories)
Dinner: Frosted Mini Wheats, Skim Milk (280
Calories)
Evening Snack: 2 Taco Shells 1/8 cup cheese (155 Calories)
As you can
tell I both had a busy day and found my house running out of food. Anyway tomorrow is Saturday and I have a niece’s
birthday party at the beach. Till Then…
