Let me tell you a bit about P90X. The system is designed with 12 different exercise routines. 5 of them are cardio based (Cardio, Plyo, Core, Kempo, Yoga) and 5 of them are circuit based weight training. Each week you do a circuit day, followed by a cardio day, circuit day, cardio day, circuit day, and finally a cardio day. There are two more DVDs: an intro disk and an Ab Ripper X disk.
Since you have 5 cardio and 5 circuit disks each they do 3 of each type in a week. They then divide the whole program into 3 phases. There are three really hard weeks in each phase followed by an easier week.
I'm in the last week, which is an easy week by design. I'm on Day 85 today. Since I had to miss 10 days throughout the program I've decided to do an extra hard week before I bring it in with an easy week to finish.
As if that weren't confusing enough, the hard weeks are divided into a more general routine and a more specific routine. For instance, in the general week you get a disk called "Back and Arms," in the more specific week, one of the disks you use is, "Back and Biceps." In Phase 3 you do one general week, one specific week, one general week, one specific week and a rest week.
I'm adding in a hard general week. BTW, I'm still at 227lbs and my knee still bothers me.
I think my knee is going to bother me forever now. I don't think it will ever stop being something of an irritation. I will probably have good days and bad days, but I suspect that it will be generally down hill now until I need to get it replaced some years in my future.
On a much brighter note, I DID finish my Level 2/3 Girl Scout Outdoor training. I'm now certified and our Girl Scout troop can officially go tent camping. So we can check that goal off as completed. Hooray!
That gives me an idea for this month's poll:
Are you still following your New Year's Resolution?
I say that I am. Is anyone else?
In my monthly goal review, I'm on track for P90X, and my Girl Scout goals.
We did not go on a date in Quarter 1, so that is a fail so far. However, there are 4 quarters of course, so I can still get 75% in this category.
I have met with my mentor and I think I have the new jobs board at work figured out. I attended a class on setting up your career development in our new system. So that is all positive for finding a new job, but there is nothing currently out there for me to apply to.
I'm working on the Gold level of Unit Service for our Boy Scout District's Journey to Excellence. It will take all year to find out how we do, but it's looking good so far.
I have not really worked on the Fortnightly History Podcast, but now that two of my primary goals are coming to an end I should be able to work on that more. I'm also getting ready to start riding my bike to work again. When I do that I will have more time to think about things, and I will have a better view of the trees in the neighborhood.
The weakest spot in my work on learning Greek. I havent' done much in that vein, but I have decided that I am going to get up from my desk and walk around a bit each half hour. When I do that I will study my Greek flashcards. This should help me a bit.
