I have begun to lose weight again, which makes me happy. ^_^ I lost 3 1/2 pounds this week. I am eating about 70-80% raw food still, and I can feel the difference that has made. I'd like to go 100% raw, at least for a few months and see how it feels. That will probably be one of my focuses for next year.
P90X was somewhat easier this week. I was able to push harder and really get the most out of the workouts. Here is my day by day summary:
Day 8:
Core Synergistics- I was able to accomplish a lot more of the exercises because I have a mat now. I pulled my lower abdominal muscle yesterday and it hurts when I put too much strain on it (All I did was roll over too quickly, but I suppose my muscles are already a bit overtaxed).
I was just careful not to overdo it on the exercises that affected that area today, but was still able to complete most of the workout. I didn't do the extra part at the end, but I plan to next time.
I worked much harder this time than last time and was able to do more. I feel awesome about it. My body seems slimmer, less jiggly already. ^_^
Day 9:
Cardio- It seemed easier this time. I actually had to jump around and jog in place while he was just talking to keep my heart rate up.
I really think there are probably better cardio workouts than this one, but I don't want to deviate from the program this round. Next time I may add in my own workout on the cardio days.
I still had trouble with the planks because of my pulled muscle, and when I tried to do a Dreya roll, it felt like I was going to make it worse, so I took it easy.
Day 10:
Shoulders and Arms- Even easier than the first time, but I still didn't do the extra part at the end or the ab ripper because my lower abdominal muscle still hurts pretty sharply. I do need heavier weights, though (All I have are 3 pound weights).
Day 11:
Yoga- I did 20 minutes, but was in quite a bit of pain, so I decided to let my ab have a bit of a rest. No sense in injuring myself worse, or for longer. I'm sure tomorrow I'll feel much better. I do still walk for thirty minutes every single day pushing a double stroller, though.
Day 12:
Legs and Back- I did the entire workout and was able to do all of the exercises except for full chin-ups. I did 90 partial chin-ups (with only the tips of my big toes touching the ground). I felt like I did much better than last week. This is the first day I felt strong enough to really push and challenge myself.
Ab Ripper- I'm still resting that ab muscle so I can come back strong next week.
Day 13:
Kenpo- I did all of the workout except for the last 5 minutes (My children woke up). It was tough, but I had that same feeling I did yesterday. The feeling of being strong and wanting to push myself.
I can feel muscles in my body I never have before, plus I can tell my waist and arms are already smaller.
Day 14:
Rest Day- My body was exhausted, but I still did a lot of walking today.
Overall, I did okay, but this next week I want to push myself and really bring it. I'm so excited about all the changes I'm starting to see in my body. :D:D
