P90 Sculpt 3-4

Just finished with P90 Sculpt 3/4. Back to the basics! And I was surprised to note that some of those moves are STILL hard (like the lunges with the 5 squats in between) but others, like the lunges by themselves- are just plain easy. I think doing the 'lunge til eternity' set that comes at the beginning of PlyoX just makes the 5 sets of lunges in 3/4 seem too short!

I was also HAPPY to note that I could do nearly 20 wide pushups on my toes before having to drop down to my knees to grab the last few. I remember when I did P90 before the X, I couldn't do near that many on my toes! Woohooo!! And the decline pushups... YAY that I could do nearly 20 of them, too!!!! P90X has REALLY increased my strength in alot of the old areas that used to be tough! Yay for the X!!

But I'm glad that I did a shorter workout today. Even though I was fired up by some of the results, doing about 40 minutes was about as long as I could handle. Any longer than that, I think I'd have been "halfin' it" again.

So it's helped me to track my water intake using the 2 bottles, so I will keep up with that. I think I gained weight since yesterday because of all the water I drank. I know the 2-3 lbs will go away again in a day or two.

This morning I had a breakfast of one packet of instant oatmeal, with about a 1/3 cup of cottage cheese stirred in. Cooked it up in the microwave, then added a handful of fresh blueberries and some walnuts to it. Yummy breakfast. :-) Now let's see if I can stay away from the chocolate better than I did yesterday.

Post workout and lunch- I had a protein shake. Mixed up a scoop of chocolate powder, some milk, some strawberries, half a banana and a tiny cup of strawberry yogurt (4 oz, I think)... yum! Even my little picky-eater son liked it! Now I'm trying to "be good" because I know I will be eating out later today.

Dinner out was mexican... had some BBQ ribs, corn, one chicken enchilada, chips & salsa, plus lots of water and a margarita. Dessert later was half a slice of turtle cheesecake.
