P90X Day 37
P90X Day 37
Jen: First things first…..to Carl…..yes you can have coffee on this diet. Try to stick to non-fat, non-dairy creamer or just plain skim milk instead of half and half. And use something like sweet and low or splenda instead of sugar. I know how important coffee is to people, so by all means…..this was a very important thing to cover! Today was a slow day for me, thank God. I am STILL sore from Saturday doing legs and back. I pretty much spent the day doing some simple things around the house, took the dog for a walk, and did some computer work. Not a big exciting day. Cheated a little bit on the diet today and had leftover chili instead of a grilled chicken burrito. If you tasted my chili you would do the same YUM! For my AM snack I had a protein bar. When I first started eating these things I thought they tasted less than desirable, but now I actually enjoy them. I don’t know if it’s because my body is begging for all the vitamins and nutrients in them or what, but I do know that simple little snacks DO NOT satisfy me anymore. My PM snack was humus and carrot sticks. I buy the cracked chili humus (or something like that). I have never tried humus before starting this program and I must say I find it very good! My kids even like it! Dinner tonight was not off the nutrition guide but I feel it was just as nutritious. We had homemade chicken noodle soup (made with low sodium fat free chicken broth, mixed veggies, boneless skinless chicken breast, and whole wheat noodles), a side salad, and some whole wheat rolls. Very scrumptious, especially since the crap weather seems to be sticking around. Now on to tonight’s workout. I have to say I was not looking forward to this one. It was plyometrics, and I know I covered exactly how I felt about this one last week. It is by far the most horrible thing ever. I know I’m supposed to be telling you how wonderful everything is like some other workout enthusiasts, but I’m keeping it real. This sucks! I came close to throwing an all out temper tantrum complete with foot stomping. I simply did not want to do this tonight. But I pumped myself up and used my negative energy for my workout. Half way through I was at least smiling and making jokes. I still had to stop here and there. I still did modifications. But I did not stop as much as last week, and I don’t feel the huge urge to spew my chicken noodle all over. So I am proud of myself for not giving up. For this only being my second week I think I’m doing alright. They say after 2 weeks the soreness and all around crappy feeling goes away. I think I will be happy when that day gets here. Until then I will keep giving it my all and just remeber to push forward even if I do stommp my foot every now and then. See you all tomorrow!
Tom: I drink my coffie black since I have started P90X!!!!! no more creamer and sugar for me. My breakfast was a whole wheat bagel bread with peanut butter (natural) and a glass of milk. A.M snack was the P90X protein bar. My morning at work was better than yestardays, my snack really kicks it up a notch once it has settled. Gets me throught till lunch knowing that I ate something healthy and not cokkies or junk food. For lunch I had a turkey burger on whole wheat toast and 2 glasses of water. My afternoon was a few pre delivery inspections, also I had three used cars I brought in to look over so this afternoon was productive. alot better than monday thats for sure. Dinner tonight was homemade chicken noddle soup, my wifes makes it real tasty!!!! It was a great soup and dinner. I had with it a salad with fat free italian dressing and a roll with butter. My workout tonight was tough. Very brutal I guess I have not completely recovered from this weekend During the lunges and jumps my legs were buring up. I did pick it up after a few minutes though. Then I slowed down for the spin jumps they make me a little dizzeeee since on a few of them I’m jumping the full 360***** It takes alot out of you with the consistance of these excercises. Keeping your heart rate up is whats going to make you want to push for a lillte bit more eac time. My football leaps tonight was me covering the entire living room, my creak jumps to were nice and long jumps. I doubled up on the knee jumps again just jumping over and over again as fast as I could do them. I went through pretty much all my water out of my workout jug. Yea its a cool jug too, just enough for these intense workouts since I don’t hit the pause button. No time for that I do my best in the time allowed to me. I don’t have time to give up, I’m here for this 90 day workout. My health has improved, and my eating habits are very good now. I enjoy working out with my wife it’s real nice to have someone else there for some company and motivation. Thanks !!!!!!
