I think I'm going to make it...
Today I'll be doing some sort of yoga or stretching to finish out my Recovery Fortnight. I'd like to say Yoga X but I'm doubting it. Then tomorrow I'll start P90X Phase 2.
As tired and unmotivated as I've been lately, I've been arguing with myself about whether or not to just blow off the rest of rotation and start fresh in a couple of months. Mostly, I know it's just a reaction to the stress I've been experiencing, so I've decided to give myself another 2 weeks. I do feel quite a bit better and more positive after getting back to some sort of exercise and focusing more attention on eating better. OTOH, if I am still not feeling the Tony-love in a couple of weeks, I may throw in the towel.

Good for you, Rose!!! I know you are feeling unmotivated recently (for GOOD reason, sheesh!) but you are seriously one of the most disciplined people I know when it comes to this stuff. I, on the other hand, am THINKing about continuing on with the rotation, but probably not until the new workouts come out. I just can't seem to keep up with the six-day-a-week thing with my work schedule and I'm tired of feeling like a failure. :-(
How is Mr. Rose??
Thanks, Marie. You are too kind. Really. If I didn't know you all were checking on my blog regularly, it would be waaaay to easy to slip back into couch potato mode!
Now if only I had you all watching me when I eat, too...
I just know that if I don't work out, I'll regain any weight I've lost in a heartbeat. It's sad.
So, I know I need to focus on workouts I'm enjoying and that are giving me results. When I start to dread facing Tony...
Please don't feel like a failure! You have had your share of big changes this year! Even if the positive ones still cause a lot of stress.
P90X requires such a big time commitment, too! I only agreed to jump in now because I knew I'd be almost finished when classes start again at the end of January. ;)
Oh, DH is doing OK. He's getting frustrated about the pain but mostly he's doing better.
What Marie said! You are very disciplined with your workouts.
My .02 about doing P90x ... pace yourself! If you only can do half on any given day, it's not a failure. When you're stressed and tired your body can't handle the continual additional stress of difficult workouts. Doing less might actually get you more results. Counter-intuitive maybe, but it is true.
