Days 27-30 Uh Oh? :p

Day 27 was supposed to be Yoga X, but all I managed was a couple of sun salutations. Too busy! Trail run morning followed by drive to PD for a weekend quadruple birthday bash of my pals Syerol, Cynthia, Pui San and Rupert. I did kayak a bit, swim 1 km, and performed strenuous massages for 2 hours instead of Yoga X. Breakfast: 4 eggs, Lunch: chicken soup with minced pork and veg, snack: fish jerky, sweet meat, Dinner: rice, egg tofu, mix veg, Snack: 3 eggs.

Day 28 was to be X Stretch or Rest. Guess what I did? hehe. Again too busy doing support car escort for the return bike trip PD-KL. Then too knackered to do much else. Breakfast: 4 eggs, Snack: sweet meat, fish jerky, Lunch: Poached chicken, Snack: rice cracker, Dinner: Chicken soup.

Day 29: Finally saw some action with Chest, Shoulders & Triceps PLUS Ab Ripper. The previous Recovery Week really had me hungry to start the next Set. So I gave it my all. I did as many pushups as I could - until failure (which didn't take long - oh about 8 semi-full pushups). My arms were shaking from exhaustion after each rep. I didn't manage a single one arm balance push up. By golly, that's gonna be a tough one. After all that punishment, I was actually glad to do Ab Ripper! Breakfast: 4 eggs, Lunch: Chicken salad with avocado, Dinner: poached chicken, satay.

Day 30 (today): Plyometrics! My shoulders felt sore from yesterdays workout, and I was looking forward to Plyo today. I am a bit concerned that all the jumping would aggravate my plantar fasciitis. We'll see. Good thing was today, my knees hardly hurt! So I was able to go deeper in the lunges, squats and all that involved knee bending. Which is most of it hehe. My enthusiasm resulted in me going a wee much more intense than I have done previously. In the Jump Knee Tucks, which in my opinion are the hardest thing in Plyo, I felt my heartrate soar and had to 'pause' to let it come back down. Seeing stars! Saw even more stars doing the Rock Star Hop :p . Got a bit dizzy and nauseous. wow that rarely ever happens, cuz I don't push hard enough to get ill haha. Breakfast: 4 eggs, Lunch: Chicken avocado salad, Snack: fish jerky, Dinner: Chicken soup with minced pork, eggs, veggies, Dessert: Choc chip cookies. I can't believe I ate those cookies. I just kept eating them. I was hungry after that huge dinner, I'm hungry now!

Oh ya, today being Day 30, I took the Day 30 pics of front and back in various poses. I can definitely see my shoulder and arm muscles have gotten bigger and more defined. I know my abs have too, but they're not showing up in the pics. Where are the pics? You're just gonna have to wait till Day 90 to see them hee hee.
