Day 19 of P90X

P90X Lean: Phase 1, Week 3 YOGA X

I dread Yoga. It's not that I don't like, it's just too long. BUT I am getting awesome at it! I can do the runners' stretch and I can put my palms flat on the ground while doing triangle poses.

I did good on the diet today. Whole wheat toast with peanut butter, Asian Chicken Salad... and well.. a Whopper JR. :( That's why I did the extra 20mins on the treadmill.

I'm off tomorrow! Woot. I got holiday pay AND we get every other week off and benefits are awesome!

Day 11 of P90X

P90X: Lean Phase 1 Week 2 Yoga X

Oh Yoga X.

I think I'm falling in love with Yoga. I attempted all poses even the crane, fell over a couple times, but less than before. Woohoo. The Yoga Belly 7 (is that what it's called?) was killing me! My core was shaking, my legs were burning, and I was just in agony but stuck with it as long as I could. Love it. Don't know if I could ever do Yoga in public though haha. Maybe after P90X!

I gotta keep this short because I gotta wake up early again tomorrow for a Skills Lab. We had this presentation for Benefits and I'm so lucky to have such an awesome employer! Woohoo! Personal Wellness Days? Yay!

Diet: Not too good again. I forgot to pack a lunch and I forgot to go grocery shopping.
Breakfast: Peanut butter & Jelly Sandwich on White Bread (1/2)
Snack: Mini Snickers candy and M&M peanuts. ( I was sooo tired I needed sugar and no fruit to buy!)
Lunch: Spicy Chicken Wrap & Small Fries from Wendy's :(
Dinner: Some beef stew thing.
WATER!

Can't wait for the weekend! My cousin Randolph and his fiance Gwen are coming down from Sactown to stay down here. Yay!

Day 04 of P90X

P90X Lean: Phase 1 Yoga X

Yoga X was really LOOOOONNNNGGGG!

But it was fun! I sweated like a Pig during all the Warrior Poses. I think I sweated more than Cardio X alone. I seriously enjoyed this session. I felt I that all my energy was focused on getting the pose done. I really tried to clear my mind of all the negativity and get into it. It's true what Tony says, "You have to clear your mind." It was all mental. Whatever I couldn't do, I told myself I that I could and I did! Corny, but it really helped to keep positive.

I tried every pose to the best of my ability. I fell a couple times but I got back up and did it again. My fave was the part where we just did poses like the tree pose, frog pose and all that. And the happy baby pose was awesome!

Hopefully I can do some crazy poses after a couple months like these

AMAZING!

After Yoga X, I went to meet up with my Best Friend ( and Maid of Honor ) her fiance, her cousin and brother at a local park to take our dogs for a walk. So I took our 11 month old Beagle Mix Puppy, Luna. She's extremely shy and only gets along well with our other dog, Trixie, who is a 12 year old Chow-Terrier Mix. But Luna did well and she enjoyed her walk and play time with B-Boy and Angel, two cute Pomeranians. So we walked around for a little more than half-an hour and ran around with the dogs at the dog park. Yay for more exercise! Hopefully we can keep this up and go there on the regular. :)

Earlier today, the FH and I worked in the backyard and sweated like a pig also so I count that as some type of exercise. Sweat is all good.

Diet: I'm really not good with my dieting! :(
Breakfast: Oatmeal! Water :)
Lunch: Left over Chinese Food
Dinner: Tuna Salad Salad :) Iced Tea, Water
After workout snack: I felt so tired so I just skipped and waited for dinner. bad!

Ahhh, this will be my last weekend of freedom before I become a slave to the man again! I miss work so it's all good. I have to join a Union this time but unions are good especially for those in the medical field. Gotta protect yo self.

Day 02 of 90

P90X: Cardio X

Boy! This session definitely proved to me that I was out of shape! I can't believe that I was able to do all these P90X exercises just a couple months ago and now I can barely get through warm-up! But I tried my best to hang with it and was proud of myself that I got through it!

One part I did enjoy was the yoga warm-up. I hope to perfect my form as the weeks go by. All the warrior poses made me sweat like crazy and gave my body the warm-up it deserved. I came across this article about a "Yoga SuperGran" months back and damn can Granny work the poses at 83 years old!If she's not inspiration, I don't know who is! Wouldn't that be crazy to do at that age?


Diet: My diet sucked today. It was another bad day for me. But as the day went on, I tried my best to control my cravings. We were going to have sushi but we didn't! Yay for us!

Breakfast: I actually f-ed up and had a very early breakfast/meal at 1AM this morning. We were at the casino for Mothers' Day and we were there very late. I really wanted to order French Toast because Barona Casino has the best, best, best French Toast I've ever had! But my brother scolded me (Thanks Bro for the Tough Love) and I had a Cobb Salad which was very, very good too. Oh and water.
My real breakfast was at 8AM that morning at the Casino still. (We ended up staying over) And this time I had the French Toast with fresh fruit on the side. I drank a glass of pineapple juice and water.
Lunch: Because of the late night, I ended up having a late lunch after my nap (I don't want to nap at all either) which was more than a cup of white, steamed rice and roast beef from the night before and water.
Dinner: My FH came home and we made Teriaki Chicken Pasta. Ugh, carbs. And I drank water (no more soda)
After Workout Snack: I worked out late this time but I had an apple and a couple glasses of water.

I really need to tweak my diet :P
