Days 62-64: Last week of Phase 2

I had decided that this is going to be my last week of Phase 2… then on to Phase 3, which is basically a lot of P.A.P. More about that next week.

Recently, I blogged about the challenge of morning workouts vs. evening workouts. I was considering switching to evenings, which used to be my preference, due to my son’s sudden desire to wake up with me. After some thought, I realized this would be a horrible idea. I have under 30 days left of P90X2 and then I’ll be focused on running for the month leading up to the Lincoln ½ Marathon. My runs will have to be in the morning since I can’t very well leave two sleeping kiddos alone in the house. In the mornings I can leave them in the care of my also sleeping husband, which is no different from leaving the three of them asleep when I leave for work every day. I imagine by body would hate me if I switched to evening workouts for under a month only to have to readjust to the 4:30am alarm. As it is I’m usually up before the dreaded alarm. (Side notes: we got a new alarm clock over the weekend and I haven’t heard it yet. Hoping it’s not too annoying. Hoping it’s set right.)

Another vote against evening workouts is my daughter’s sudden aversion to sleeping. The past two nights she’s been up approximately every hour. Something about teething, most likely. All I know is that a screaming child doesn’t make for good sleep, or the ability to do other things. There will always be challenges. Amazingly, my supplements and Shakeology have kept me remarkably awake.

Chest, Back, & Balance was fun this week. Numbers were about the same as last week but the challenge of balancing on various ball combinations was a lot of fun for me. Yay for being able to do things I used to think were crazy!
