Kinda like starting from scratch . . . well, almost

Three weeks away from our exercise routine. It's not like we just laid on our butts all that time, though. We at least put in many miles walking.

But getting back to our alternate modified P90X has gone slowly. That first session was a killer that had my arm muscles trembling all evening afterward. And I took it pretty easy during the workout since jet lag has not yet worn off and I was feeling kind of out of it (bad headache). I'm feeling soreness today, too, but it's not as bad as I thought it might be. It'll be interesting to see how long it will take to get "back to form" in terms of upper body fitness.

And we've taken a couple of shorter rides as well. Hope to get in some miles this weekend--hopefully 30-plus each day.

So three weeks off is a definite fitness setback. It was a needed break and I'm glad we did it. But we'll be playing catch-up now for a bit.

BTW: The wife gained 5 lbs. on our vacation while I lost 2 lbs. One of the grave injustices of life!
