Monday just happened to be Memorial Day – a great day off and time to hit the BBQ/neighborhood get together. But I decided that despite it being a holiday, it was a Monday and that meant back to P90X.
I woke up as I would any other Monday and prepared to bring it. Mentally I noted that today was the beginning of my last week with weights in Phase 1, so it was time to up the ante and really push myself. And push I did. But this time, I opted for some chocolate milk before and after the workout that I believe gave me that extra push that I needed. Will be doing that again!
Following a heavy workout I decided being sweaty was a great excuse to get outside, mow the lawn and clean up the garage. I kept things moving and felt like the energy was flowing through my body like it hadn’t in a very long time.
As I mentioned, the neighborhood party was taking place in the afternoon, so before heading out, I got down on the floor and hit it with Ab Ripper X. With it so fresh in my mind, I knew better than to load up my plate with things that I shouldn’t and stayed far away from the cupcakes and other baked goodies.
It’s Tuesday, and I won’t lie, this morning was rough. Really had to drag myself out of bed and get to work on Plyometrics. It was a tough routine and I pushed through it, but wasn’t happy about it. Felt like I was showing afterwards, getting dressed and my first few hours of work in a complete sleepy daze, but I’m feeling better now that it’s after noon.
More to come tomorrow. Oh, and we’ve been really looking at the Abs Diet, so hopefully I’ll start dropping some excess pounds.
