Week 2 in Review

Whew, what a crazy week it has been.  Between work and P90X wearing me out this weeek, I slept like a rock last night.  And it was much needed.  The one thing I have learned about doing this program is that it doesn't really give you a chance to "skip" a day.  It's not like you can just double up on a day, unless you are some sort of machine, which I am not.  So that accountability definitely helps to stay focused.   

Tuesday was plyometrics day again.  I held my own much better this week and actually stayed in my heart rate zone more than last week.  As the weeks go by, I know I am going to master this and I actually enjoy this workout quite a bit.  

Wednesday morning, I just did not want to get up.  I felt like I needed to rest so I didn't workout that morning.  The result was a terrible mood and outlook on life and just feeling completely out of sorts.  I was so tired because I didn't have my workout so when I got home, thanks to a burst of energy late in the day, I plowed through my arms, shoulders and abs workout.  And that night I slept like a baby.  

Post Wednesday workout.  I felt amazing afterwards.

Thursday was yoga day again.  Since I said last week that I was just going to the first part and then follow up this week follow up with the second half, that is what I did.  The second half focuses more on balance poses, some ab movements and stretching.  I think, however, I need to figure out how to do the whole workout because that is where the true benefit is going to come from.  I am determined to master many of those poses because they keep showing up in other workouts I am starting to notice.  Perhaps next week I will try doing it after work.  Come on energy! Stay with me.  

Friday, again, I skipped my morning session but I get off work early on Fridays so mid afternoon, I took a little of the E&E Beachbody supplement and blasted through legs, back and abs.  It was a great workout and boy do my calves and legs feel it today.  I think I need to try to start doing a pull up here and there rather than always using the resistance bands.  It is time to start challenging myself a little more and stepping things up a bit now that I am more familiar with the workouts.

After my E&E inspired workout.  And look at what is starting to show in my arms!

Today I decided to do the Cardio X workout rather than Kenpo X.  Cardio X is a mixture of Yoga X, Kenpo X and Plyometrics coming together to form one massively awesome workout! I held on for the most part, but there was some areas that I just had to take a break.  I guess I wasn't feeling too worn out though because afterwards I decided to do the Stretch X DVD.  It certainly left me feeling much better and was just what I needed.

I will not have a "rest" day until Monday because I have something going on Sunday night that will cause it to be a late night so I am doing Monday's workout tomorrow to stay on track.  I also have some exciting news that I will be sharing in the next day or so so stay tuned.  Thank you everyone for continuing to follow my journey.  It truly has only just begun.
