I owned my last session of plyometrics tonight! I was somewhat dreading the workout all day- I'm coming down with a cold and I've been sniffling and sneezing nonstop. I just didn't feel like getting my butt kicked by beastly plyo. But, I did it anyways! I psyched myself up and brought it! :D I think wearing my heart rate monitor pushes me a little more- I almost take it as a challenge to see how high I can get my heart rate, hahaha. I know I need to be careful and not make my heart explode or anything... I just like looking at my wrist, seeing my heart rate, pushing a little harder through the next move, looking back and my wrist and seeing how much higher I got my HR. I like seeing how high I peak and what my average turns out to be. I guess I'm a little competitive ;] Not like I have anyone to compete with but myself... I just like bringing it. I've really been trying to make myself enjoy cardio more. I love lifting. I love weight training. I love upping my weights and feeling strong and I love the after burn the next day. I love tearing my muscles up and feeling it in places I didn't even know could hurt the next day. Sick, right? But I don't have the same love for cardio. I don't like feeling like I'm gargling my heart, ready to throw it up at any given point. I'm learning to embrace the cardio aspect of fitness, though! I do love the endorphin high after cardio! That feeling is incredible. I also love being completely drenched in sweat. I'm talking sweat right through my clothes and dripping. I know, that's nasty, but it feel so good. It's my twice a week hardcore detox, haha.
On a side note, I'm down a pound and a half!! I guess my weight loss is going to happen in phase three. It's about time, considering I'm only 10 days away from being a p90x grad now! Hopefully I can keep shedding fat through these last days. I don't think I'll be quite where I want to be by the end of this journey, but that's okay. I need something to aim at after this is over, anyways. I'll make it happen. I'm super happy to be down a little weight, though. Pair that with the fact that I've put on about 2.5-3lbs of solid, lean muscle since day one, I'd say I'm doing well!
Tomorrow is back & biceps and the ab ripper! Woo-woo, another lifting day! Then it's yoga, legs & back and the ab ripper, kenpo and on to the recovery week. I'm getting there. Gotta keep on bringing it!
