P90X - Day 43

Week 7, Day 1

Workout:
Core Synergistics
43 min.
burned 284 cal.
HR max: 164
HR ave: 131

Total push-ups for the workout: 42.

The main thing I noticed about this workout, was that I was hungry. I had a large bowl of oatmeal with dried fruit (raisins, blueberries & cranberries) for my pre-workout meal. About halfway through the workout, I had to pause, and get a snack (1 light string cheese stick). And, when I was done, I was so hungry ... there was no need to worry if I was going to have a post-workout snack (protein shake with fat free milk & ice)!!

Core Synergistics whipped my butt today!! I know my core will be sore tomorrow.

I am still remembering that I am joining the push-up challenge ... and will be working on those throughout my day.

Goals:

1. Workout tomorrow (CardioX).
2. Do at least 100 push-ups during the day (including whatever I do in tomorrow's workout).
3. Take note of everything I eat.

***

Well, I've been steadily working on my pushups today ... not nearly as regularly as I should be. I should be trying to do them every 30 minutes or so. Today, though, my first day, I'm seeing how far I can push myself without causing me difficulty with following through on the workouts. So, whenever I think of it (maybe an hour, maybe 3 hours), I get down, do as many as I can "guy-style" ... I'm shooting for 7 or 8 ... and then I drop to my knees and finish out to 15.

My total for today is: 162.

(I had hoped for 100!!) :-D

Guess I need to update my goals for tomorrow, huh?

Tomorrow's push-up goal is: 163. (I always must strive to do better each time.)
