So I haven't written in a while... no, I haven't quit!! Sunday, September 12th I had a football party. We were all having a great time and drinking entirely too much when my mom called to inform me she was taking dad to the emergency room. He had been having quite a bit of pain and stomach troubles, but it had turned pretty bad. After a cat scan revealed that he had diverticuli pouches that had burst and perforated his bowels, he was being taken into emergency surgery. Peritonitis had set in and this was serious... everything sort of stood still in my world at that moment. I had never been faced with the possibility of losing my dad, and now I was faced with it, head on. We spent the evening waiting with mom in the ICU waiting room... long story short, he is okay, and while he has a long road ahead of him to recovery, he is here to talk about it. He is finally being released from the hospital today and we, as a family, are elated to get him home.
So, where did that leave me in terms of P90X? Well, I skipped my Monday workout... I just didn't have the energy, nor did I even care. I was coming down with a cold and wasn't allowed to see dad and I was just pissed at the world. Tuesday, I started back with Core Syn... it was tough but I did it. Wednesday I did Plyometrics, it kicked my butt. Thursday I had shoulders/arms, and I rocked it... it's one of my favorites because I can do the entire workout and not feel like I'm dying. Friday, things fell apart... was supposed to do Yoga but didn't really feel like it so I did legs/back, but ate and drank too much Friday night. Saturday, I got about 40 minutes into Yoga and gave up... I was hungover, dizzy and just wanted to sleep. Sunday, KenpoX, again, I got about 30 minutes in and stopped. So while I wasn't a complete slacker, I really feel like the last 2 days were pretty useless. I didn't care about what I was eating really... i didn't eat too much, I just ate all the wrong things.
Mentally I beat myself up a little bit this morning, but now, I'm okay with it. I stuck with it the best I could considering everything I was dealing with... I'm back on track this morning and will make this week count, and then some. I might be slightly behind in my progress, and that's okay... I've made it 3 weeks in, I'm 25% done... and that is an accomplishment I'm proud of.
