Quick update - My arms were BURNING today. Holy moly! There's been aches and failure but today there was definite burn.
Off to NY for the weekend to visit a friend who's stateside for the first time in awhile. Man, I am dreading next week when I have to pack for the Boston volleyball tournament. I'm only gone two days and getting food squared away was A LOT of work. Louise, I don't know how you manage all the travel. You truly are a STAR!
Nearly had a perfect pcp day yesterday but only clocked in six hours of sleep. Patrick, does it count if we nail the exercises and the diet but fall short on the zzz's?
Has anyone else experienced back pain related to the leg exercises? I know that sounds weird but when I was stretching in bikram it felt like a massive lump on the lower left side of my back. Since yesterday wasn't a back day, my guess is that the leg workouts triggered the pain. It's probably nothing and my body just being lopsided but still.
Sorry for the scatteredness of this post. Mind is all over the place and can't focus.
Have an awesome weekend y'all!
I'd say a 6 hour sleep is enough to count for a PPCPD. Any less and you'd be pushing it!
ReplyDeleteHahaha well since I'm still dragging my feet at only one to your two, my coping skills could be questioned. Actually today might work out ok, will let you know!
ReplyDeleteYeah I find leg ups hard cos my lower back is pathetically weak. I find (tho this might be cheating) that if I slide my hands, palms to the floor, underneath the little gap bettween floor and lower back, it take the pressure off. And you still get the burm.
I think Haley commented that if you don't get enough sleep on the PCP you'll turn into a zombie. I've definitely felt that -- so much exercise and so much food, I just have to get more sleep than I was used to. But when I get a good 7-8 hours, I am Superwoman!
ReplyDeleteI get that same soreness in my lower back with leg-ups. I also do what Louise said - hands under sacrum, palms down. Definitely helps!
ReplyDeleteWhen you're preparing food next week, just make bigger batches and pack it all up - it's a pain for sure, but you can definitely do it!
