Do not worry, my loyal followers, I have not quit my p90x journey!! I realized that with my last post being a frustration rant and no new post for two days thereafter, it might seem like I have given up. However, I have NOT given up. I'm still bringing it! I've just been slacking with my blog updates. Sorry about any worries or concern my blogging absence may have caused ;]
Day 55- Yoga, again. I worked a long day and was not in the mood for yoga (well, to be fair, when am I ever in the mood for yoga? haha). My body was tired and I just wanted a rest day. I pushed through yoga anyways, though. I must be honest and confess that I skipped warrior three. I just struggle so much with that movement that I almost think it isn't even worth it for me to do it. I just get frustrated and annoyed so I figured I would just skip it this day. I did my best with the rest of the workout and forgot the rest.
Day 56- REST. Glorious. I thoroughly enjoyed going about my day without having a workout on the back of my mind. The official end of phase two!
Day 57- today, the first day of phase three! Tonight was chest and back & ab ripper x. Rough workout. I haven't done this one since phase one, so I was anxious to see how I did with it. I was able to do more pushups than I could do on this workout during phase one, but only by a couple. No super impressive improvements, I don't think. I didn't get nauseous, which was good. This workout has a tendency to induce nausea with all the switching between pushups and pull ups. I felt pretty good with chest and back tonight. I was NOT excited to get back into doing the ab ripper. As much as I know that it works and gets results, I'm sick of doing it three times a week. The week off was very nice so I didn't want to get back into the ab ripper routine tonight. I beasted it, though! All-in-all, I brought it. It's hard to believe that I'm already into phase three! I know this phase is going to be the most intense, but I'm excited to finish strong. The beginning of phase three also brings with it a change in my daily portions. I'm down to two proteins and up to three carbs, which is a weird change. I've really adapted to a high protein low carb diet. I'm surprised by how much I've come to enjoy my protein filled days even at the expense of losing carbs. I'm interested to see how this diet shift goes for me. I'm also not happy to be reduced to a single dairy!! How am I going to make that work?! I like cheese and milk and yogurt... boo! :[ The snacks on this phase basically rock, though. I get frozen yogurt, fruit sorbet, rice cakes and fruit bars back! Yay! I also still get to keep pretzels and popcorn. PLUS, I now get fig newtons, pita chips and low fat tortilla chips! Fantastic snacks. So I'll make the diet work for me. It's just a matter of adapting yet again.
Tomorrow's workout is plyometrics! I'm going to be working a full day, doing plyo then hitting the road to go home for Christmas. Translation- I have a 16+ hour day ahead of me tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have the motivation to bring it during plyo!
