So because my family opens Christmas presents bright and early there was no way for me do my p90x workout in the morning. I knew that I would go back to my apartment late at night and try to do it there. Because of this I curbed my normally out of control holiday eating habits. Usually on Christmas there is a constant flow of food and candy treats to munch on without stopping. This time I practiced extreme restraint. I did not want to be doing plyo will a belly stuffed full of prime rib and cheesecake. I did succeed. Usually I am notorious for having sometimes three servings of dessert. This time I only took a half scoop of ice cream and two fork-fulls of cheesecake. After all it is Christmas and I don’t want to completely deprive myself. It also allowed me to savor the taste even more because I knew it was all I was getting.

Plyo was even tougher then I had imagined. Having done it nearly every week previously I started to get used to its challenge. But my legs have gotten a bit out of shape. Plyo really pushes the limits of your legs and your heart. Every time you squat down your quads burn more and more. Sometimes you think that your quads will just give out. Of course they never do and your left with an intense workout. I must admit I did not make it all the way through this time. But it served as a reminder that these next 88 days will not be easy. Also, that it will take a while to build back up to my prior strength. Can’t wait to Rock out my arms tomorrow.
