Chest | Shoulders | Arms - Oh MY!!!

YEH -- Starting my FIFTH WEEK of P90X. 

 Standing STRONG !!!

Just when I think it's over .... HA!  I absolutely LOVE doing arm exercises.  I must be careful with my shoulders ... they already are quite massive and I truly don't need anymore BULK.  Plus the accident I had many years ago ... well I can't hold my ARMS over my head for long periods of time (( cramp up easily )).

Today, I tried to work through the CRAMPING ... bad ideal.  I am EXTREMELY sore and it's time to take a LONG, HOT shower, get out the BENGAY and lay on the HEATING PAD. 

Halfway through the DVD, I found myself getting light-headed and a little nauseated ... so I made myself SLOW DOWN, press PAUSE and PACE myself.  While getting out of my SOAKED clothing, I noticed that my TRAPS (( muscle right by your neck, top of your shoulder )) is getting VERY PEAKED.  Hubby advised me to lay off of the shoulder exercises, use a lighter weight or don't do so many reps.  I'm using LIGHT WEIGHT now (( only 5-pounders )), but I'm still getting very MUSCULAR in my shoulders ....

.... sooooooooooooooooo ....

Time to find my 2 and 3-pound weights ..... or go get another band!  HA  Never thought I would be "complaining" about GAINING muscle.

Oh yeh .... almost forgot.  While getting a VD card in Walmart the other day, I went over to the "scale" aisle.  I've been wanting that "BMI", "BONE MASS", "WATER INTAKE" scale.  It was on SALE, so I grabbed the next to the last one.  It tracks my weight history each time I step on the scale.  It ALREADY told on me ... not drinking ENOUGH WATER.  Maybe 1/2 gallon .... but not my usual ONE GALLON a day.

That snow in the below picture ... it was GONE 24 hours later.  LOL
