Always Yoga

It’s yoga day. Super low lunges made my legs oh so sore, but it’s definitely worth it. I’ve never felt such sweet relief just from stretching my muscles. The soreness subsided as I went through 40 minutes of the workout. I was constantly interrupted so I wasn’t able to fully concentrate on the program but [...]

Back and Biceps

Yesterday, I completed back and biceps, cardio, and ab ripper x. My entire body is sore and I’m eating meat to compensate. Yes, I said it. MEAT! According to the calorie calculator, I’ve been eating over my usual limit of 1400 calories for the past 3 days. I think my body needs it. I took [...]

Phase 2, Day 2: Plyometrics

Today was Plyometrics. It feels so good to start up again. I can jump higher and accomplish more of the exercises with ease than I did before. But at the same time, I didn’t push myself as hard as I should. My shoulders and triceps are definitely sore from yesterday’s workout…I don’t know why, but [...]

Dive into Phase 2

Here we go again. I finished Phase 1 with some challenges but this next month, I’m going to be crazy. After a 2 week break from P90X, I went to Tahoe for two days of skiing and I jogged probably 3 times last week. There isn’t a reason as to why I took a break, [...]

Break Stupid Rules

A friend once told me that I should never eat after 10 PM or it’ll become a bad habit that will make me fat. But there have been moments after dinner where I find myself hungry. And since starting P90X again, before bedtime, I’m downright ravenous! Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the [...]

Still Chugging

I forgot to update, but I did Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X yesterday. And today I did Plyo. I’ll be off skiing for two days in Tahoe…so I’ll update when I return. Yay snow!

Boo Coffee!

The more I pay attention to what goes into my body, the more the little things matter. I know that alcohol affects me more than it used to because I have less body fat and my body absorbs things faster. So I’m definitely going to lay off the alcohol, it’s the smart thing to do. [...]

Hope to Gain

We all have body goals, what we want our bodies to look like and what level of fitness is manageable for our lifestyle. I’m superficial, but hey, who isn’t? I’m hoping that in six months, I’ll have an awesome back ridge, back dimples, toned arms, and a toned stomach. I don’t need a lot of [...]

Randomly Depressed

When I don’t work out, I get depressed pretty easily. It just comes on for no reason at all and I feel completely unmotivated to do anything. Even putting food in my mouth takes effort. And today was one of those days. Perhaps I overexerted myself doing two workouts in one day, but I felt [...]

Double Blind Yoga

I was feeling extra sprightly, so I did a double workout today. Shoulders and Arms and Yoga! For the first session, I bumped up to 10 lbs weights for the entire program. The first week, I was using a mix of 5 lb and 10 lbs weights and now for week 3, I phased out [...]
