90x Week 8 recap; last day of rest

This week started rocky due to a plague I contracted from who knows where! I started taking antibiotics for a sinus infection, which is one of the many things my body is using in it’s mutiny attempt.  Only thing worse than being sick is that I gave this awful mess to my wife and my three month old son.

I took a few days off to rest and get better.  I resumed training Saturday morning by working a little Muay Thai with my MIA team.  I’m getting excited to fight.  Due to the sickness I lost a few extra pounds this week.  I’m sitting below 170lbs.  I could realistically go all the way down to 155, but it would have to be a one time deal, 170 is my natural weight.

I’m in need of some additional conditioning training.  I’m thinking about going to the local high school and running bleachers, or possibly just doing some interval running on the parkway near my house.  The bleachers sound fun and exciting but painful, so I haven’t decided yet.

P90x training resumes Monday as well.  I’m really need to step it up this week.  I’m starting back on the first set of dvd’s.  I really liked them and I love the whole muscle confusion concept.  It keeps me going each week.

I’m still continuing the fat shredder diet because I enjoy the meal options and I don’t miss the carbs.  I feel I still have a little fat to lose around the middle and I know I can get rid of it with the fat shredder diet.

P90x week 8, on pause. Day 2 of death bed

I’ve been sick for over a week now and yesterday it hit me like a sh!t load of bricks.  I decided that I needed sleep and rest and sleep.  In that order.

I took yesterday off and I’m doing the same today.  I have more cough medicine in my body than any one man is supposed to be able to handle.

I’m hoping to get a grip on this by tomorrow so I can resume working out.  While sick I’ve managed to lose more weight than I wanted to.  I’ll catch back up soon enough.

p90x week 8

I’m not doing the rest week this week.  I have been pretty sick over the weekend and as a result haven’t stuck to my diet plan, or any diet plan for that matter.  It wasn’t that I over ate, it was that I didn’t eat enough of anything, except left over sweet tarts from easter.

I’m going to continue p90x stage 2 for one more week before taking a rest week.  I think that will help.  I’m at 172 lbs and my abs are more and more defined every day.  I finished ab ripper x last night and felt great.  My head is currently more conjested and stuffed up than ever.

I’m supposed to go train tonight with the Muay Thai team, I hope I can get my sorry but ready to go.  I need to train if I’m going to be fighting soon.
