A much better day led to much healthier decisions.
Day 16 of P90x went well. I may do both Cardio X and Yoga tomorrow so that I can get back on schedule, depending on when I roll out of bed. Since I’ve been waking up to run at sunrise, my body rather enjoys getting up between 5:30 and 6:30 every morning. When I told my mom this, her jaw did an oscar-worthy drop; she simply couldn’t believe it. After the first 2-3 weeks of sleep hell, I found that I actually really enjoy it.
I convinced my roommate P to do the Shoulders & Arms workout with me today. She was skeptical because she didn’t understand how it was 60 minutes of arm work, but once we got through most of it she couldn’t believe how good the workout was and how it had flown by. She also did a couple of the Ab Ripper X moves with me, and then proceeded to give up and cheer me on. My progress in terms of ab and lower back strength is ASTOUNDING. In 5 workouts I have gone from being able to complete about 25-50% of the moves to being able to complete about 75% or more. One word: wow.
Food decisions were subpar today. I was doing well until the clock struck seven, and the munchies began. But considering I woke up and did another 2.5 mile run with C25K today, plus P90X, I think it will probably be all right.
Bad decision 8/31/2010: Post dinner fiber muffin and protein bar
Good decision 8/31/2010: C25K, P90X, sensible breakfast
