Days 77 & 78

Yesterday was a very much needed and appreciated day of rest. My muscles were happy :]

Today was chest, shoulders & triceps and the ab ripper. I really dislike that strengthening workout. I think it's a little too tough for me. I struggle with so many of the moves that it discourages me. I think I did pretty well with it tonight, though. I definitely worked hard and found the burn. All the pushups in this workout wear my arms out pretty quickly, especially the two twitch ones. I did better than ever with the one arm pushups tonight, though! Obviously I have to do them on my knees, but I was able to do 10 reps! And I got deeper on them than I've ever been able to get before. While I was bringing it tonight I realized that p90x has definitely helped to increase my upper body strength. I'm not yet where I want to be but I'm getting better with each workout. During pushups tonight I was getting close enough to the floor to kiss it, which I couldn't do at the beginning! Not that I'm going around kissing the floor on my pushups but I could if I wanted to, hahaha. That realization gave me the motivation I needed to bust through this workout tonight. My arms were jello-esque by the end. My abs also felt pretty weak/timid during the ab ripper tonight. I'm not sure why... I was definitely having to push a little extra in order to get through all the reps. I found the burn and then some! I got through it all, though. I still can't do every rep of every move- mainly crunchy frog and oblique v ups. It bugs me that I'm not strong enough to do it all yet but I'm doing my best. I guess that's all I can expect from myself. Hopefully one day I'll be able to rock the entire ab ripper x workout without missing a beat.

Tomorrow is my last plyometrics session! Craziness! It's hard to believe that I'll be done my p90x journey so soon! Granted, it has felt like a very long road, but at the same time it's gone by quickly. I am leaning towards restarting the whole regimen after I finish this round, though, haha. We'll see how ambitious I feel in another 12 days ;] As for now, I'm ready to do my best ever with plyo tomorrow!! :D
