Knitter in Progress

My workouts got rearranged this week due to the fact that I had a monster cold which knocked me out for two days of the week. This was also my second recovery week. Monday: **Yoga Tuesday: **sick Wednesday: **sick Thursday: **Core Synergistics Friday: **Cardio X **Stretch Saturday: ** Cathe's Kick Max (cardio only) Sunday: **unintentional off day, I decided to go out to a late lunch with my husband--at PFChangs--and no kiddos(I love them dearly but there is definitely something to be said for a couple hours of adult conversation).

I made DH a pair of socks for Valentine's Day and I finished them on Valentine's Day which is a feat in itself. He loves them. They are worsted weight and very warm; perfect for padding around the house. Stats: Pattern: Flying Trapeze Socks, Interweave Holiday 2008 Yarn: Cascade 220 Heathers Needles: size 5 dpns I'll show you what I got tomorrow.

Days 43-49 Core Synergistics: **505 calories burned Plyometrics: **533 calories burned Chest, Triceps, and Shoulders/Ab Ripper: **499 calories burned Rest Yoga: **270 calories burned during the moving asanas(spelling?); I took the monitor off during the standing asanas. **I almost skipped this workout due to a lot of personal goings-on over the last couple of days but I decided to push my way through so I wouldn't get behind and I'm glad I did because it really helped clear my head. Legs and Back: **460 calories burned Cathe's 4DS: Double Cardio Premix, Core Max/Section 1: **457 calories burned ************************************* Next week is my second recovery week and I'm more than halfway through the program. Hurray!!

Day 36-42: Core Synergistics: **burned 491 calories Plyometrics: **burned 530 calories Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps/Ab Ripper: **burned 346 calories Yoga: **I didn't wear my heart rate monitor today. I feel like it gets in my way during yoga. Legs and Back/Ab Ripper: **367 calories burned Alternate Cardio: **Cathe's IMAX Extreme **653 calories burned Thoughts on the week: **I tried wearing my heart rate monitor for all workouts(except yoga and stretch) just to get an idea of how many calories I'm burning. It's about what I thought which makes me feel good--I like that I am able to gauge my own intensity even if I'm not wearing the monitor. **Food: the usual problem. It really stinks that 80% of your results are based on what you eat(10% genetics, 10% exercise). I try to keep telling myself that food is fuel but darn I really like to eat and not always healthy. I'm going to do more work with my journal next week. I may use Weight Watchers Points next week just t...

My February Challenges are: **to finish Provence Sampler. I should have ample time to do this as I am not blogging everyday this month. **to continue my P90XLean rotation. I finished Phase 1 during January with no missed workouts and I will finish Phase 2 during this month and start Phase 3(which is the last phase in the 90 days). In January, I met my goal of posting every day. Now I only have to that two more times this year :)
