Weekly Update I

From now on, I’ll do personal weekly updates about my food and exercise plan. I went to the dentist and I had no bad news, but a couple words of advice. I got to floss more…but doesn’t everyone? This week, I went traveling and I decided to put a short hiatus on P90X. I brought [...]

March Madness: Pause 2.

This morning, I awoke with a sore back. It wasn’t bad enough that I couldn’t move, but I felt it best to relax for a day. So, another pause. I’m being cautious so I don’t potentially injure myself. Even though it’s the third week of P90X, my body is still getting used to all the [...]

March Madness: Day 16

Exercise Plan P90X Plyometrics. I was determined not to let my previous failure get in the way of completing this workout. So, I did this before breakfast, started out easy, and increased my intensity as the the rest of the program continued. I’m happy to say I finished Plyometrics! Though, I did most of the [...]

March Madness: Day 15

Today was a much better day. I went back to the normal schedule, but now, my rest days are on Mondays. Exercise Plan P90X Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X. For Chest & Back, I did 18 reps of everything except for 15 reps of back flys. I used 10 lb weights for the [...]

March Madness: Pause.

Oh what a day. My low blood pressure tendency reared its ugly head. I got up this morning and felt super light-headed and dizzy. I lacked energy to do anything and I wasn’t up for working out. Bah! I guess my body needs a break. Exercise Plan I planned to do P90X Chest & Back [...]

March Madness: Day 14

Another weekend complete. I felt like making bread this weekend, so I found a recipe for sweet potato bread and herb focaccia. I didn’t do much today, so I wasn’t very hungry…hence, the lack of snacks. Still, I find myself quite satisfied at the end of the day. Exercise Plan P90X X Stretch. I’m feeling [...]

March Madness: Day 13

It’s the weekend but it doesn’t mean I stop moving around! Exercise Plan Kenpo X. Since I tried to increase the intensity yesterday, my back was a bit sore. However, I did pretty well in Kenpo. I really should stick to keeping these workouts in the morning and for high intensity ones, no breakfast before. [...]

March Madness: Day 12

It’s Friday! I’m in a baking mood, so I’m picking my up Bread Bible, looking for a recipe to try. I already made white bread a la Julia Child and that turned out wonderfully. You can see the results for my sandwiches and French toast. Plus, I was a bit nostalgic for comfort food, hence [...]

March Madness: Day 11

I think I’ve found a way to battle my light-headedness and my mid-afternoon slump. I had lemon honey jujube tea yesterday and I didn’t need a nap. Plus this morning, I had the tea again and I wasn’t so light-headed and I kept up my energy throughout the day. It might be a placebo, but [...]

March Madness: Day 10

I felt better today though I’m still a bit light-headed. I guess it’s just one of those days. I was curious as to how my body is changing, even though it’s been less than 2 weeks, I did a bit of measuring. It turns out that I lost 1/2″ from my waist, hips, and thighs…Yay! [...]
