Days 35, 36 & 37

Day 35 was a much needed day of rest. It was nice to just relax and recoup a little... One day isn't enough for my muscles to really recover but it's still nice to get one rest day a week.

Yesterday, day 36, was chest, shoulders and triceps & the ab ripper. Since Jacob and I were leaving his parents house in Kentucky to drive back to our place in Pennsylvania, we got up extra early to squeeze in our workout before getting on the road. As much as I wanted one more day to sleep in, I knew that if we didn't workout in the morning we wouldn't workout after a 12 hour drive. I started my day of with a whole wheat bagel, waited a little over an hour and pushed through the workout! I seriously that that is the most challenging workout of this entire program. There are a lot of move I have to modify or I can't do many reps or much weight on... but I do it! That's what counts- I'm putting the DVD in and bringing it the best I can. It felt good to workout in the morning and not have to worry about it once we got back here. Eating on the road was tough, though. On the way there, I had packed a buuunch of p90x approved snacks. On the way back I wasn't able to do that. I didn't eat anything not p90x approved, but I did miss a few portions- one protein, one veggie and one carb. I wasn't about to discard the nutritional guidelines to get those portions, though. I just wish we would've found a Subway at a decent hour. Oh well.

Tonight, day 37, was plyometrics!! I think I waited a little too long between eating and working out tonight. I wasn't cramping, which is great, but I felt like I was running on empty. But I brought it!! I was seriously drenched in sweat by the time I was done. I love that. I can hardly believe that I'm already done 37 days. In some ways, it feels like I've been doing p90x for a VERY long time. In other ways, the weeks have zipped on by! It's good. I'm feeling pretty good.

Tomorrow is back & biceps and the ab ripper. Another very challenging upper-body workout for me... I'm getting to the point that I can do assisted chin-ups/pull-ups on the pull-up bar, but I'm not too great at them, yet. I'm working on it!! I'm going to try my hardest and briiing it!
