Yoga was awful yesterday morning. Awful awful awful. I planned to get up and start yoga around 7am since our water was being turned off from 9am-12 and I wanted to shower before getting on the road for Kentucky. However, when I woke up at 7am I had a terrible pounding headache! I went back to sleep and didn't end up starting yoga until around 9:30am. I officially decided that I hate early morning yoga!! I was tired, sore, stiff and very hungry! Not a good combination. Not to mention I only got like 10 hours of rest between back and biceps on Tuesday night and yoga the next morning... But seriously, my body was so stiff, it hurt to stretch and balance. Yoga always stinks to begin with, but I really struggled to get through it first thing in the morning. I like working out in the evenings because I've been awake for awhile, had a chance to eat and move around... not so first thing in the morning! It hurt. But Jake and I pushed through it, doing the best we could. We had a delicious breakfast once it was over! :D I made overnight French toast with whole wheat challah bread, soaked in egg whites, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Yummmm.
Legs, back and the ab ripper went well tonight! I like the legs/back combo. My legs were seriously shaking and burning but it was good. I even did a set of pull-ups on the pull-up bar!!!! Granted, I used a chair to make it an assisted pull-up... but I got up there! I did eight alternating grip ones (or whatever they're technically called). My arms were shaking at that point, haha. I was happy to actually try some on the bar! I know it isn't completely legit, but I'm getting better! Jake was really proud of me so that made me feel great! :D I'm definitely going to do real pull-ups by the time I'm done the p90x program. I'm so determined!
Honestly, it wasn't as hard to stick to my diet today as I thought it would be. I had a bunch of turkey (om nom nom), some steamed carrots, and mashed potatoes that I made with a little smart balance light and skim milk. Not bad at all! I didn't have any dessert... I pretty much ate normally, minus all the turkey, haha. I had egg whites and turkey bacon for breakfast, a few soft pretzels, some popcorn, a bagel... Yeah, I was very good today. Go me, haha. I think a big part of that is being at my in-laws. I don't like eating when I'm at other peoples houses so it's pretty easy for me to stay disciplined. I wasn't tempted by the unhealthy food. Well, the cheesecake did look delicious but I kept telling myself "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"! Hopefully I can stay this well on track during the rest of my little vacation.
Tomorrow is kenpo. WIN. I'm excited to bring it! :D
