November Check-in

Well I am moving into my 4th month in Valparaiso. Not sure I am ecstatic to be living here, but getting more comfortable here. After a hard month, I am settling in. This past week was busy with normal things that happens when you settle in somewhere. Lunches and dinners with friends/coworkers/family and general hanging out with folks. And I had my first week of volunteer tutoring. All on top of work which shows no signs of slowing down at the moment. This week will be 2 days of blur I am sure. I have a big lunch at the law school tomorrow for Thanksgiving, and Tuesday I have a dentist appointment in the middle of the day. Then a wonderful and much needed respite.

In other news, last week was my first full week of p90x. My body is not quite sure what to do with it. last night I was asleep at 9 and got a good 12 hours of sleep in. I am considering using the nutrition plan starting the first week in December. Seems like a lot of work/prep/monies.

Thankfully I have a partner in crime for Yoga X. 90 minutes of yoga is challenging especially getting through those first 45 minutes. However, we actually had fun despite the fact I can not do the crane. I now have a new goal.

I did a butchered version of the p90x lean schedule for this first week. Next week will be full schedule. Here is what my schedule amounted to:
Sunday: Kenpo X (by far my favorite workout)
Monday: Core Synergistics
Tuesday: off day
Wednesday: Cardio X
Thursday: Yoga X
Friday: off
Saturday: another day of Kenpo X

Next week the schedule will hopefully look a bit more like this holiday and out of town permitting

Monday Evening: Core Synergistics
Tuesday Morning: Cardio X (my downstairs neighbor is out of town so I am taking advantages and doing cardio in the morning)
Wednesday: Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper
Thursday Morning: Cardio X, Sweat 5-6, Kenpo X or Sweat 3-4 depending on my mood. Usually Thursdays are Yoga X schedule days right now, but skipping that due to Thanksgiving morning.
Friday: Legs and Back, Ab Ripper
Saturday Kenpo!
I may take one of these days off depending. I work best on a 5 day a week workout schedule. The 6th always seems a bit much.

Well this was a pretty boring update, but it has been that kind of Sunday. Just ready to relax this week.
