Day 10 {FINALLY}

So, today, I woke up a little later than usual (730am). Matt had duty yesterday, but no watch, so he came home and slept in his own bed. He's feeling a bit under the weather, so he needed the rest. Well, he let me sleep in this morning, and when I woke up I made a decision. It has been too long since I've worked out. First injury {mine}, then illness {Matt's} has prevented me from continuing with this program. And I really want to finish the program. I need to lose body fat percent. That's my goal. With P90X, I was able to go from about 33% down to 25%, but I would really like to see it more in the 20% range. So, that is going to mean working out on my own if need be. I hope Matt doesn't mind, but I think he'll be ok. He'll just have to do the workouts with me when he can. I don't mind working out early in the mornings when he's here. But we just need to get back into a routine and get back at it!

Today was the Plyo Cardio Circuit. I feel like I did pretty well. In fact, I burned 419 calories! The gel that Matt got me for my heart rate monitor works like a champ. My HRM was getting a signal from the moment I put it on. I've had a lot of trouble in the past with that. Also, I used some sweat bands today, and boy did I need them! I got them for Matt for Christmas, and I got enough for the two of us. They work pretty well; I'm impressed.

Anyways, the breakfast this morning was a little different for me. I have never eaten cottage cheese before. When we would get it in school, they would pile it on top of a slice of pineapple. I always thought it was a waste of a perfectly good pineapple, and scrape it off :) But, I have decided to be adventurous. Not only have I {gasp} pierced my ears (I did that on Sunday) but I'm eating cottage cheese for breakfast. What is the world coming to? :) Just kidding. But seriously, I think it is time for me to leave some of my childish misgivings about food behind. Who knows? Maybe next I'll try.....mushrooms? Nah! Maybe not!
