P90X: Day 19 – Legs & Back

i continue to make progress – the number of pull ups are increasing and the lunges were a little better today. towards the end of the video, i was pretty spent and had to pause it for a little bit to catch my breath and mentally prepare for the last few exercises. feels good to be completely wiped out at the end of the workout. i’m not running into the muscle soreness like i was the first week, so that’s good. tomorrow Kenpo X – no Warrior Dash, so i’ll get that workout in

i still need to focus more on my diet – i keep going back and forth on attempting a Paleo diet. what i’m ultimately looking to find is a Paleo diet on a budget, both cost and time as fresh veggies, fruits & meats aren’t cheap or easy to prepare. any suggestions or a place for me to focus my search?

P90X: Day 18 – Yoga

i feel like i cheated today and in many ways, i did. haven’t been feeling the greatest the last couple of days, so last night i took a lil bit of night time cold medicine. well, that made this morning slow and groggy. a late start on a longer Yoga X workout is not a good thing. i did push play but because i still wasn’t feeling the greatest, i skipped (read: fast forwarded) the majority of the workout. basically did the yoga belly 7 and post-workout stretching. seems perhaps there’s a bug floating around the house (joseph has a NASTY case of hives possibly caused by whatever has been affecting my level of activity).

a good nights rest and we’re back at it tomorrow.

P90X: Day 17 – Shoulders & Arms

it’s been quiet, i know – yesterday, i woke and got the video started, which was a feat on its own. started the warm up and started hacking my lungs out. decided to listen to my body and give the plyo workout a rest – so i went back to bed for the hour and woke up feeling much better. this morning, i debated whether to do the plyo workout or to just skip it and move on (as i did with the Insanity workouts earlier). and the fact that it was the plyo workout and i was still recovering, to some degree, from warrior dash… we went ahead and did shoulders and arms today. got through it, and made progress… but it wasn’t easy.
