Anyways! Last night was shoulders & arms and the ab ripper. Man, I completely forgot what the shoulders and arms workout was like! It's been awhile since I did that one... it was rough! I actually enjoyed bringing it, though. I felt pretty strong. I've been able to increase my weights since phase one, so that made me happy. Ab ripper was especially painful. I'm not sure why that is... I guess my abs are just working extra hard after the recovery week last week ;]
Tonight, as I said, was yoga. Not too miserable, surprisingly! But that's probably because I skipped warrior three and yoga belly :o] I don't even care, though. Attempting warrior three isn't even worth it to me anymore. And my abs are very sore from ab ripper yesterday so I'm giving them a little down time to recoup so I don't injure myself. Yeah yeah, excuse, I know. Oh well!
I had my brother remeasure my body fat percentage and was extremely disappointed to learn that it hasn't gone down. At all. I'm still sitting at 15% body fat. That percentage puts me in the "elite athletic" range, according to the p90x nutritional guide. But I am NOT happy that I haven't lost a single percent! Gahh. I'm going to have him measure it again next week just in case the equations weren't correct... It's very disappointing, not gonna lie. I'm trying to be positive about it... I mean, I've put on at least 2 pounds of solid lean muscle! That's a good thing! I was just hoping to lose some fat... I don't get it because I feel like I've lost fat and I look like it... I don't get it, stupid body fat. Maybe it'll come out differently next week, we'll see. It's frustrating that I've been working so stinking hard and the fat reduction isn't showing up yet. Makes me angry and discouraged. At the same time, it makes me even more determined to shred this fat!! Gotta keep up the hard work. My brother told me that he lost the most fat in phase three, so I'm hoping the same will happen to me. Just keep pressing play!
Tomorrow will be legs & back and the ab ripper! I like that workout. My legs are getting so strong, I love it! Just gotta melt that fat away... It's going to happen! I'm going to BRING IT!
I'm sure you're looking great. Don't let the numbers disappoint you when clearly you're a BA woman...sticking to p90x and putting on 2lbs of muscle. Way to go. :)
