Kenpo X was a great workout. I was sweating and had to wipe my brow about halfway into it. It takes a lot of coordination, and in my case, concentration to keep up with the moves, but a great cardio workout nonetheless.
I did good with the nutrition plan today, managing to eat all my portions once again. We went out to lunch today to Chilis. Although we were tempted upon arrival to order chips and salsa and an ice cold beer, we decided to stay committed to the program. I ordered the grilled chicken platter with broccoli from the kid's menu and a side salad with low-fat ranch on the side. I managed to get 1 protein, 2 vegetables and a fat out of that meal alone! Altogether my lunch was no more than 400 calories. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and not stuffed, which usually doesn't happen when I go to Chilis. :)
Day 6 is done. I am choosing to rest tomorrow and I encourage all of you to do the same. You've done great this week. Reward yourself with a day off from exercise, but just remember to stick with the nutrition plan. We are finished with week 1 and one more week closer to Phase II. I hope you have a great weekend. I'll be checking back in on Monday.
This blog is intended to serve as both a resource and support through the P90X2 program. As P90X graduates, we've decided to continue to include helpful links, articles and recipes to those who are working through the P90X programs. Although we will mostly focus on the new program, we will keep all links and articles pertaining to P90X on our blog. As always, we welcome comments, questions and any other inspiring words to others who might be reading this and seeking encouragement themselves.
Yeah the rest day yesterday was nice...but I felt like I was cheating since I didn't work out. Think I made up for it today. I increased all of my weights and either matched or did more reps for the chest and back workout today, but by the end I couldn't even lift myself up off the floor and felt like throwing up. Now that I have done one full week in phase 1 I have a much better idea of what I need to do. Been sticking to the meal plan and between that and the workouts I can already tell a difference. Looking forward to a good week 2 and to hopefully going all week without needing to bust out the icy hot. :-)
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about the break... what have I turned into!? lol Good job on pushing the limits today. Hope you have a great week 2.
