I did not feel very well when I woke up this morning. I gave blood yesterday, and it was a double red cell donation, so maybe I was still recovering. I had a mild headache, and after breakfast I felt a little nauseated, too. I decided to press on and see how far I could get through P.A.P. Upper, to finish out the week.
My physical condition definitely affected my pace, which was slower than Tony and the Kids, for sure, but it’s not as if I can keep up all the time anyway. For example, I did 8 Renegade Rows (not 10) per set, and after the first set I lowered the weight I was using. I hit the Pause button after the fourth repetition of the first exercise complex (as a reminder, that’s 4 exercises, times four sets). I thought I was doing pretty well, all things considered.
I survived the second complex too, just barely. I can’t say I was pushing harder than ever, or achieved a personal best, but I completed it. Overall, I would say the second week of Phase 3 has been an improvement compared to the first.
P.S. If you are healthy and eligible to donate blood, please do it as often as possible. We need a larger percentage of eligible people to donate. Thank you!
P90X2 Tip of the Day: Sometimes it’s difficult to decide when to give yourself a break, and when to work harder. Just slow down, do your best, and know your limits.
