This is the first time i've been below 175 in...i dunno; 2 years...? Something like that. Once the Syndrome "W" (which stands for 'waist', by the way -- and here's some interesting info on it: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-syndrome-w.htm) weight set in; it's been like concrete; fierce and steady and relentless. No matter what i did, i could NOT drop below 175. I'm encouraged this morning, as i venture off to the nutritionist to be weighed, that perhaps i'm finally on the right track.
I'm also thinking i'll put the P90X-idea on the back-burner for now. I'm rather enjoying my routine at present (walk for 30 mins with Addison, my dog -- stationary-bike for 30 mins while the sauna gets hot, then roast for 30 mins to wrap it all up!), and it appears to be yeilding me positive results; so why mess with progress? I'm officially down 15.2 lbs as of this morning.
If/when i get to 170 -- i'll rethink the P90x. That sounds reasonable, right? I mean; i'm not chicken-shitting out'; i promise! i'm just letting my body get stronger (and a little lighter) before i tackle something that sounds, to be honest, a bit overwhelming right now, with all it's plyometrics and such. The idea of bursts of jumping into the air at this weight, and with this knee, sounds scary to me. I have an appt with the doc tomorrow to check on my knee, which IS better (remember that diagnosis of Chondromalacia Patella?) -- as in; i can walk on it with very little discomfort/pain, but; it's STILL constantly swollen, and i still have to nurse it the first few steps every time i get out of a chair. I'm wondering if it needs draining...Guess the doc will tell me that tomorrow.
In any case; once i'm a little lighter for my injured knee; i'll tackle the P90x. Putting it off is the smarter thing to do at this stage, i believe. It's really not about me being a'skeered. Really!
Yeah; that's it.
