Cardio can still be so frustrating.

Day #14
January 16, 2008

Since I skipped on Wednesday, I had to make up for it today. I had the perfect Friday night planned. I really wanted to come home, pour a glass of wine, make some jambalaya, and catch up with my DVR. Jason goes to poker on Fridays, so it's just me and the kids (by kids I mean pets). But, where would Power 90 fit into all of this? Easy, right after work, get it over with as quickly as possible. And that is just what I did.

It was a cardio night. Cardio endurance is strange for me. Sometimes I can get through portions and the very next time I struggle to finish the same thing. That is kind of what happened tonight. I was pretty much getting through all of the jumping jacks with very little struggle. Tonight, though, I just could not do the second set. My calves were screaming and I was just exhausted. Maybe because it was a Friday night? There is a reason that I picked Friday night as my day/night of rest. Then, my x-work suffered because I was so exhausted from the jumping jacks. It was frustrating, but I finished.

And I did reward myself with a delicious bowl of some of the best jambalaya I have ever made. Surprisingly, I was not able to eat nearly as much as I usually can. Could my stomach be shrinking? Maybe I mentally would not let myself after exercising? I don't know, but I like it.
