Days 49 & 50

FIFTY DAYS DOWN! I feel great being able to say that I have kept up with p90x for fifty days! 50. Fiiiiiive zero. FIFTY. Woo-hoo! :D 

Day 49 was a day of rest. I always feel like I'm slacking off on my rest days, haha. I know my body needs it and I love having a day to let my muscles recoup... but going to bed at night knowing that I didn't BRING IT that day feels so weird. Yet, I do love the rest days. They're always very much needed and savored. 

Today was day one of week eight, a.k.a. the last week of phase two! Since this is the last week of this phase, it's recovery week which means- yoga, core synergistics, kenpo, x stretch, core synergistics & yoga again. Not exactly a fun week but I know it's good for me. And I definitely need it badly since phase three doesn't have a recovery week! I'll try to enjoy this week as much as I can. I got through yoga pretty well tonight. I am getting better at it, as much as I do not enjoy it by any means. My balance and flexibility are both improving, which does make me happy! I didn't completely despise yoga tonight, surprisingly. The stretching felt fantastic and I did pretty well with warrior three (although I still can't do the whole movement yet). I'm glad I don't have to do it again until Friday, though. It's just so longgg.

Tomorrow is core synergistics, another annoying workout. This one is a total butt kicker, though. It's very intense for a recovery week workout! I'm not looking forward to it. But then I get kenpo on Tuesday and stretch on Wednesday! I am looking forward to those. Admittedly, I'm a little nervous to take new pictures at the end of this phase. I am seeing results and feeling better, but I'm not sure how much my body has changed. Seeing myself everyday makes the changes a little harder to see, I think. I just don't want to take new pictures and not be able to tell a difference between these and the end of phase one pictures. We'll see what happens, though. Gotta do my best and keep bringing it!
