Don't worry, I am still here. I had to go out of town and that is why I went silent for a few days, but I have officially completed my first week of P90X! Only 12 more to go. Woohoo!
I have to say that I feel great and am down two pounds! Yay me! Friday was leg/back day. It was actually a day that I was dreading due to possible soreness that I was not looking forward to experiencing, but even with all the lunges, squats and other various exercises Tony had in store for me, I only experienced mild soreness. It is possibly my favorite workout so far because it also included more back exercises so there were a lot more chin-ups to add to the mix and keep it interesting. I ended up burning over 700 calories during this workout too. I think I have another reason to look forward to Fridays for a few weeks now!
Saturday's Kenpo X, on the other hand, was probably my hardest workout so far even beating out Plyometrics. Just in the warm up alone, I was ready to die. Now, it could have been the late night I had the night before, but some of those yoga moves from Thursday made their way back into my life with this workout and I was not ready for that. Many moons and what seems like a lifetime ago, I actually took kenpo karate and received my brown belt so I was familiar with the moves, but I seriously could not keep up for the most part and that made me a little bummed. I know it was my first time doing the workout so I am more prepared for next week and hope I can keep up a little better this time. There will also be no late Friday nights this week.
Sundays are usually my meal prep days so that I can be ready for the week, but since I was driving back today from my trip, I didn't have time to go to the grocery store or prep anything. This does make me feel a little out of sorts, but I have a few things left over and will be back on track so that all my work I did last week will not be forgotten. I am also out of my Shakeology shakes, my new addiction, but should be getting more soon so everything is just slightly out of order but nothing I cannot handle to keep me focused and on my path to success. Do not let small setbacks discourage you either.
Tonight is the Superbowl and I hope that everyone is making healthy choices or at least not overdoing it. I indulged a little this weekend, but kept it in moderation and do not feel guilty about it. If we do not allow ourselves a little fun every now and then, it will make this journey a lot more difficult to enjoy. Here's to a fantastic week for everyone! Week 1 is in the books and I'm ready for week 2 and hopefully another two pounds to add to my total.
