Week 8 Day 1: Yoga. First day into my second recovery week and feeling pretty good. Today's my birthday so I had a bit of an indulgent day with some cupcakes, but I did 48 minutes of Yoga and went for a jog earlier so I don't feel the least bit bad.
I'm going on a business trip to China next Tuesday and I know it'll be difficult to keep up with these workouts time and equipment-wise, so I might just sub in some other workouts, basically whatever I can do in the hotel gyms while I"m away and get back on track when I get home. I think that'll be fine. I hope.0 -
Week 5, Day 2, Plyo - Check!
scarletleavy - Happpy Birthday!

Hi ladies!! I'm going at this a bit slower than I would have liked, but I'm still enjoying it. A question though.
Do you drink protein drinks after your workouts? I have noticed that the nights I drink a protein shake (skim milk and whey protein powder) I weigh 1.5-2 pounds more in the morning than the nights I don't. I don't get it. I was down to 138.2 yesterday, did my work out last night, had the shake, weighed in at 139.8 this morning. This happens every time, it wasn't just a fluke. I'm kind of wanting to drop the shakes - they are making me feel defeated!0 -

I always drink Shakeology(meal replacement/protein shake) after my workouts for breakfast. It is pretty important to give your body back what it uses for workouts. It may be that your muscles are retaining more water from your workouts, are you pretty sore? Also, don't weigh yourself so often. Maybe once a week or every other week, so you won't get so discouraged(I have the same problem)0 -
Rest day today for me...... I kinda hate rest days now, since I don't get to eat more!!! LOL0

Thanks, yeah, I'm wondering too if it's because I do my workouts at night (8:30 or so, then shake at 9:30 and in bed by 10:30) so I'm drinking them kind of late? But I've noticed that if I don't drink them, I wake up raging starving the next day and I eat wayyyyy to much food. It could be any of that, that you mentioned. It's a mystery sometimes! :laugh:0 -
is it possible you have an allergy to dairy? I have a water weight gain when I have dairy products. Just a thought. Don't know if it is applicable. 0

Week 8 Day 2: Core Syn. Done. Finally got the hang of the Steam Engine exercise, there really is a different between lifting your legs with your legs and lifting your legs with your core. Also, love love love the Reach High Reach Under push ups, I think it's my favorite exercise in all of P90x.0

I think it might have something to do with the late nights. If you eat late at night and weigh first thing in the morning it would make sense that there is still undigested stuff in your stomach that might add a bit to your weight. I guess the same concept as not weighing yourself right after eating? Maybe weigh yourself on the morning after your rest day? That might give you a more accurate read on actual weight. I wouldn't give up the shakes though, especially if it messes up your eating for the next day.0 -

Oh no. So sorry to hear that. You're definitely having some sort of allergic reaction. Any chance you're taking some sort of antibiotic? This is exactly the reaction I had when I found out I was allergic to most antibiotics. Also, the same reaction when I take ibuprofen. Yes, I'm allergic to both, lucky me.
Hope you feel better. Swollen eyes and hives are just the worst.0 -
Sick baby boy today

The only medicine I had in my system was that I just had my tetnis shot...just because I hadn't had it in 10 years. At first I thought that was what it had to be, but then another person that I know very well ended up having the same reactions and she didn't have the shot. I think it was either a really high pollen count or some chemical we had both been around.....she cleans for me at my job. We both had it within a day of each other! Who knows!!!0 -
