Day 2

Another day completed!

This diet makes me tired... one serving of carbs a day does not feel like enough! But if it does what it's supposed to do and makes me burn a bunch of fat, then I don't care, haha. I just need to stay strong. I think my biggest problem with the diet as of right now is that I think I'm going to eat too much early in the day and have nothing left to eat at night so I conserve a lot of my portions then end up with a bunch to eat after working out! It could be worse... but I need to learn how to space my portions out more evenly. I discovered a wonderful breakfast today! Three egg whites scrambled with a little onion powder, three pieces of turkey bacon and one slice of low-fat cheese on a whole wheat english muffin. Deeeeelicious!! And surprisingly filling. I also bought chocolate protein powder today, so I'm excited to have some "chocolate milk" tomorrow (I bought the protein powder after I ate most of my dairy for the day and didn't want to mix it in water because that's nasty, haha). I'm still loving my Elite Recoup recovery drink! I bought the watermelon flavor and I swear it tastes like a drinkable watermelon jolly rancher. Om nom nom!

The workout was brutal tonight! Plyometrics, a.k.a. jump training. It was so intense and exhausting! Almost every move was only thirty seconds, like 5 or 6 in a row then repeat the whole circuit. Sounds relatively easy, but believe me, it was more than challenging!! But I did it all! I couldn't keep up with some of the double-time jumps, but I kept going and did my best (forget the rest!). I felt so thoroughly drained by the end. Yet, I felt incredible for getting through the entire workout! Tony Horton says that plyo is "the X in p90x" so I think I should feel good about getting all the way through it without pausing or taking extra breaks.

Day two has been conquered. Tomorrow is arms and shoulders & ab ripper x. Tomorrow is also my 10 hour workday so this is bound to be difficult. Nonethless, I'm gonna BRING IT!
