I’ve been crazy busy lately. I’m trying to find and buy a home since my lease is almost up and I’m at a point where I want to own, not lease.

So much of my time has been taken up with that, and all the things that go into that. I have been, mostly, doing my exercises though I needed to take two days off.

To give a quick recap from the last time I posted:

Day 7 was a rest day (Saturday)
Day 8 was chest and back again. Had more consistant results across the board with a few moderate increases (Sunday)
Aerial Day (Monday) so no p90x
Day 9 Plyometrics. Have I mentioned that I really don’t enjoy this exercise? I know it’s good for me, but I hate it. I do it, but I hate it. (Tuesday)
Aerial Day (Wednesday) so no p90x
Aerial Day (Thursday) I had a make up class from earlier in the week, so no p90x. There were only three of us in class that day, and they were all advanced people so I learned new stuff, including this one really awesome drop called the double star where you spin around twice in the air before stopping at the bottom of the rope
Friday and Saturday, I was just lazy as all hell so I took the days off
Day 10 Shoulders and Arms (Sunday) - jumped all of them up to the harder blue band. I feel like I’m going to have to go buy the black band soon.
Aerial Day (Monday) so no p90x.

So, here is the bad news. During class last night, I hurt my left shoulder. I’m massively annoyed by this for many different reasons. I’m going to do a video post tonight to explain everything, but yeah needless to say, I’m not a happy camper.

Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday or today because I was really busy. I did do Plyometrics yesterday, and holy crap it was hard. The high-impact nature of it bothers me a little, but I think I’m going to get a really shock-absorbing yoga mat to help out with that, and it’s one of the few workouts that I’m doing with shoes on. Since it has so much jumping, I had to do it in the garage, which isn’t too bad.

I’m trying to figure out the best way to handle posting information to the website. I don’t particularly like posting all the numbers since it takes so much effort to post that. I’m thinking I’ll just talk about improvements during the posts. Maybe I’ll post my spreadsheet. I’ve been research the “power score” thing that one of the blogs I read has for showing progress. I might implement something similar.

Also, for cardio-type days (Plyo, CardioX, yoga, etc), I think I’m going to just post my heart rate information. I didn’t use my HRM yesterday, but I totally should have.

Since my HRM outputs everything as XML, I’m working on a small C# program that reads the XML file and generates the charts for me. Currently, I’m using a python script, but I think I’d rather make it a more robust, ui based system that allows me to save the file out as a PNG or maybe it even uploads the file to my blog?

Anyway, yes. Plyo was great but hard. My knees don’t hurt too much today.
