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 18 of P90X

REST DAY!

I was so so so so tired when I got home from work today that I slept right when I got home. The weekend must have caught up with me. I screwed myself though cuz when I woke up, I wasn't really awake awake, but I still wanted to sleep but couldn't so I popped a Tylenol 500mg and crashed. I know bad but I was dead tired.

Day 17 of P90X

P90X Lean: Phase 1, Week 3: SHOULDERS & ARMS

I'm starting to feel the burn!

I started using only 5lbs because it's all I had and I didn't want to "BULK" up. I increased the reps and maxed out at 15X but I still didn't really feel it. So I switched to the bands mid-session and found that I was really feeling each set differently. Possibly I'll be using bands permanently!

Work is sucking out my energy. But the stress of a nurse feeds my exercise hunger!

Day 16 of P90X

P90X Lean: Week3, Phase 1 CARDIO X


Had to push myself a bit to workout. I'm a little sad because I'm not yet seeing the results I want to see. Anyhoo, all negative thoughts aside, I felt really good about this workout. I did every single set and rep and I felt awesome after. :)

I'm not going to write about what I eat anymore because its quite sad. Because it was Memorial Weekend, I splurged a bit on the diet. Kinda makes me feel bad. Maybe thats why I'm not getting any results!

Day 15 of P90X

P90X Lean: Phase 1, Week 3 : Core Synergisitics

Today was the last day my cousin and his fiance were in town. Originally we were going to go to the Wild Animal Park but decided against it since it was already a little late in the day. We decided to go do some sightseeing in the Gaslamp Quarter, and then we ventured off to Mission Beach to check out the beach and Belmont park. We all rode the famous Giant Dipper. It was seriously hilarious! I recorded a video on my little point and shoot but only got views of myself screaming my head off and of my right ear. HAHA.

We then went to D&B's for dinner and I had a Southwestern Grilled Chicken Salad. It was very yummy! I love eating salads now. And then we had to say our goodbyes :( It was hella fun hanging out with them. I miss them already!

When I got home, I just wanted to crash because the weekend drag so much out of me but it was worth it! But I knew I had to do my P90X so I just did it. It was Core Synergisitcs so it wouldn't be that bad. HA. It went fairly well. I did as much as I could with the push-ups. I actually did a modified version of the Prison Cell Push-up and dang, I felt it in my body. I also did the complete Dreya Roll! Maybe I can get some air pretty soon!

I can't believe I'm starting Week 3! Next week is Phase 2. I'm concerned though because I'm not getting much of a result as I want to. Maybe it's too early?

Day 14 of P90X

Instead of doing Kenpo X, we all went to Point Loma and did some hiking and sightseeing! The weather was warm and breezy. It was really fun and educational oh and especially beautiful! Sometimes just going sightseeing will make you appreciate why you love where you live! :) And I just happen to live in the best town ever!

Diet: Breakfast consisted of eggs and a cup of joe. For lunch we had to go where we could experience San Diego best, Santana's! Had some surf n' turf burrito and bean quesadilla. Dinner we grilled some steak and corn. Yummy!

Week 3 starts tomorrow!

Day 13 of P90X

REST DAY!

Took another early rest day! My cousin and his fiance from Sactown came down and we went out to eat so I just took a rest day!

Day 12 of P90X

P90X Lean: Phase 1, Week 2: Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X

During Phase 1, my body is adjusting to all the strenuous activity and by Week 3 (Which is right around the corner!) I'll be able to hang with every single set and every single rep. Yay!

I think this was the main reason to my muscle soreness last week. I couldn't even bend to sit down after Yoga X. As of right now, I'm not feeling anything except muscle twitching every now and then. :)

Legs & Back this week was awesome. I did every single set and maxed out on my reps.

Ab Ripper X is progressing! I did every single set as well and took breaks and did every single rep! :)

I'm so happy with my progress although my body doesn't quite look the way I want it to (well, it's only almost been 2 weeks!) but I feel great! I'm starting to fit into some of my old clothes so that makes me happy!

Work is killing my diet!

Diet:
Breakfast: Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich, Water (it was to-go, running late! no excuse!)
Lunch: Taco Salad from Carl's JR (I know, gross but it was the only place close to work!), I didn't eat the shell.
Dinner: Steamed Rice and mongolian beef 1/2 cup.

Okay. Gotta go to bed!

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!
