Two months later?!
So it's been about two months since I finished P90X. Two months. Wow. Time has been zipping right along in my little world! What have I been up to since I finished? Well, the first thing I did was take an entire week off! Ha! Yep, I rested my body and took it easy. I wasn't sure how I felt about taking a week off but I felt like my body really needed it. My muscles were pretty beat up. I ended up enjoying my rest week- real rest, unlike P90X rest week ;]. It did make it a little difficult to get back into my regular workouts, though. I'm not working out 6 days a week anymore. I figure working out 5 days a week is good for me... I'm not gonna lie, though, even that is tough lately! I started a new full-time job and my schedule got super busy super fast. It's been hard to get in my workouts every night when I barely have enough time to cook dinner, clean up the kitchen, catch up on emails, spend some time with my hubby, grocery shop or a million other things I'm used to doing. My time feels so limited lately! I'm having a hard time adjusting but I'm working on it. I'm doing my best. Even if I can't workout six days a week I can still eat really healthy and workout as hard as I can an often as I can. I'm doing my best. And when I do workout, let me tell you, I workout hard!! I did Kenpo X tonight and kept my heart rate nice and high. I torched around 600 calories and felt fantastic! I'm sure my legs and shoulders are going to be sore tomorrow. I hope so, ha. Last time I did Chest & Back, I cranked out 226 push ups! They were girly (on my knees) and obviously not all consecutive, but still! I'd say that's pretty impressive. I'm still getting stronger and working hard. I need to work even harder, though. I'm going to do a strengthening workout tomorrow since I did cardio tonight. I'm still trying to alternate cardio and strength days; it keeps me balanced. I'm also trying to mix up what I do so I don't get sick of the workouts. I get bored easily, haha. I might do Back and Biceps tomorrow or Shoulders and Arms. Something upper body. Oh, which reminds me, I've also increased my weights on my bicep curls! I'm up to 15 pounds! That's triple the weight I started with! I know 15lbs isn't incredible but I'm working on it. Anyways, that's my workout life! I'm just plugging along trying to do as much as I can. I might get Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer to sneak in alongside some quick cardio on days when I'm especially crammed for time. Not sure yet, but it sounds like a good idea. All I know is I need to make time to workout more often so I'll be ready to rock my new VS bikini this summer! ;]

Yay for new bikinis!! I'm not sure where I'm buying mine for this year, but I wanna rock it too!! :)Summer 12 will be our best summer yet, I can feel it!
ReplyDeleteYES!! I've always wanted a VS bikini so I figured it would be a good reward for completing P90X :] I actually ended up getting the bottoms at Aerie, though, because all the ones I tried on at VS only covered like half my butt :P I'm not into that cheeky style, haha. I typically buy mine at Target and I love theirs :]
