We're still here!!!

No, the Byrums haven't fallen off the face of the earth....but we have had several not-so-good days in a row, so we have some catching up to do.

Last week ended GREAT!!! I took a rest day on Thursday and did an all-day field trip with my daughter's class, but then came back strong with Legs & Back and ARX (385 exercises, thank you!) on Friday, Cardio X on Saturday (and I can't believe I'm going to admit this on something that I know Coach Ken is going to read, but I'm not a big Kenpo fan....yes, I said it - I'd rather do plyo!!!), and made up Yoga on Sunday (LOVE the yoga - REALLY loved Demi's picture - I need a beach to do my yoga on, too!). But by Sunday afternoon was not feeling good, and by Monday, was SICK. So Monday, Tuesday and yesterday were all washed out for me. On the upside, I read on the container of my P90X recovery drink that it has 750% of my vitamin C needs, so I've been chugging that and today I feel so much better!!! :) I actually went to my boot camp class this morning, and then ran a few miles (and am now icing a sore right ITB while I type this...), and plan to hit the L&B again tomorrow, and get back on track. After all, it's only a little over 2 weeks until we head to Denver!!! By the way, Coach, we also just got a full set of bands to bring with us - and can we take a blender on the camping trip?!?!?!?

As for Rob, he has not fared so well, and it's because of work. He also did well last week until Friday, but then had to work ALL WEEKEND - that means work all day Friday, on call and up a lot on Friday night; round in the hospital on Saturday morning, come home, take a nap, then on call again Saturday night, and up half the night again; round again on Sunday morning, another nap, and on call AGAIN Sunday night - and up all night that night; round Monday morning, and then finally come home and collapse Monday afternoon. Needless to say, it was not a good working out weekend.... He also somehow got stuck Tuesday night in the virtual ICU, so was up all night again - his body is now totally off timing-wise. He did get a good night's sleep last night, and vows to come home and do something tonight!!! This is hard, because he gets very frustrated - he was really starting to see some results, and now he feels like he's back-tracked. I told him I bet this happens to everyone at some point during the 90 day program - and at least he was actually working, and not sitting around eating cheeseburgers for 5 days!!! Now that would be back-tracking!

So please let him know that he's not alone - I truly love this program, and it's amazing how addicting it is. I was actually sad to not be working out for a few days, but I'm also very thankful to be feeling better. I hope everyone has a great day! Barbara :)
