11h10 AM Week 5 of Program P90X3 : X3 Yoga  ~ 30 mins HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton
Gabriel  also switched up some of the Workouts because of the Volleyball tournament next and he's not doing Doubles, so I'm alone on this one, and really didn't feel like doing it. Thought of it like torture, but kept telling myself "it's just 30 mins".. so it was OK. Did it barefoot and finished with cold feet but it WAS better than with running shoes.

Use My-Doubles to fill-in for the changes I have to make to my program so that I don't do THIS Workout just before the volleyball tournament. Gabriel switches to this WO as well so we do it together. I use the black bands (with a step to keep me from sliding) and Gabriel uses the Pull-up bars and a chair when he needs to. / I do an honest Workout but don't push it as hard as I might if my knee didn't hurt and I didn't think of Cardio Militaire tomorrow.

planned 5h00 PM Week 6 of Program P90X3 :  Incinerator  ~ 30 mins HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton
NOPE!!

7h00 PM VOLLEYBALL with Gabriel at EURÉKA school :
we're only 10 and 6 for the last game that we end at 9h30. I think I know a reason my services were going to high sometimes. It has to do with where I look. I'll have to test my theory but so far so good. and as for attacking, I decide that since I'm too "shy" to jump for now, I can at least push enough to lift my heels, and if I do, sooner or later I'll jump without thinking about it. I do that and at least I'm not as cemented on the floor.

Aches & Pains : My lower back.. after about an hour of volleyball. Don't take Robax Platine because I just took a Contact because of my cold and I was sneezing so much I couldn't imagine playing like that..

7h00 PM VOLLEYBALL with Gabriel at EURÉKA school :
We're 13 When A (back after weeks of absence) is with me on the 7 player team I say that if she wants to always stay out of the rotation and play passer all the time ( like she usually does) she should be on the team of 6 or else it's like we are 8 and the other team 6, so reluctantly she joins the rotation and plays all positions. She doesn't seem to hurt anywhere and I get to play passer at times. so I'm really glad I spoke out :)

Work hard but like it. Very different from the P90X Ab Ripper./ I didn't need to do extra abs at home when I went to Buns of Steel and Cardio Militaire classes.. but since I'm missing them because of aches & pains, I need this.

"Welcome to the latest incarnation of abdominal hell, which not only focuses on your rectus abdominus ( thats where your washboard is) but also transverse abdominal and internal AND external obliques. This 15 minute trunk burner extreme is for those times when you absolutely, positively need to take your core strength to the next level. Think of X3 Ab ripper as your eight-pack bonus."

Happy Bday Amélie M. and Richard Laf.

DIET : 142 lbs . up 2 / completely discouraged

10h20 AM appointment Right knee and lower back. ( 40 mins ! ) next appointment on June 9th at 2h00 PM. There is an opening on May 1st and I'm glad to take it.

Dr Sylvain Ladouceur
Clinique Réadaptation universelle / Clinique du genou
2035, avenue Ste-Anne, #202, St-Hyacinthe
450-778-2218

KNEE :  OK, so I finally have the results from my MRI. and it says that I DON'T  have a meniscus tear as 2 doctors had said!  What I have is

"Il existe des signes de CHONDROPATHIE PATELLAIRE PRÉDOMINANT sur la FACETTE MÉDIALE de la rotule avec présence d'une zone de mise à nu de l'os sous-chondral. Présence d'un épanchement articulaire significatif. Pas de kyste poplité. Le tendon, les ailerons rotuliens, tendon de la patte d'oie, le tendon quadricital, la bandelette ilio-tibiale sont de morphologie normale .

CONCLUSION :

"Présence de très nettes lésion cartilagineuses sur la facette médiane de la rotule, possiblement à l'origine des douleurs actuelles. Épanchement articulaire significatif."

NOTES :

*Dr proposes Synviscone or Durolane .. (~450$ for a treatment that is good for about 6 months) and I don't know yet if my insurance covers it.

*Chondro comes from kondros in greque and it means cartilage.

*

LOWER BACK : Checking to see if I have Arthritis in  my spine, and maybe a slight scoliose ( that I think I was told about 40 years  ago)     

Next appointment : June 9th 14h00.    

11h15 AM :

Centre Radiologique de Saint-Hyacinthe
2770  ave Raymond, Saint-Hyacinthe
450-773-8192

7h45 PM Week 9 of  P90X3 : Decelerator~ 30 mins
HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton
Last time ( March 17th ) I told my self that it was only exploration and that If it had been an exam, I would have gotten about 40% . / Maybe 50% today.

TRICK : for band pull-ups, I pull on the bands and then keep them at the same level and move my body instead of my arms so the tension stays the same.. might be a good idea but I'll have to try it again to check if it's not my legs that are working.
