P90X - Day 3

Week 1, Day 3

Workout:
None.

Got another compliment at work tonight ... actually, a couple compliments. Somehow, the conversation got around to the topic of "butts". Anyway, one of my coworkers informed me that she had noticed that my butt was shrinking! :) Way cool!! Another one of my coworkers has taken to calling me "skinny" ... so actually, I get that one, 2 or 3 times a pay period!!

I have noticed my waist is starting to really appear when I'm looking at myself in the mirror. Woohoo!! And, there's a little definition starting to show in my abs ... lines that didn't used to be there!

I didn't workout yesterday. I caught up on sleep instead ... if you can call 7 hours catching up!! ;) So, I planned on working out today. I had either a make-up Plyometrics workout to do, or today's Shoulders & Arms. I was actually thinking about trying to get both of them in if I could get that energetic between 2:30 pm & 5:30 pm!!

Before my alarm even went off, I woke up, and was laying in bed. I could feel my heart beating very fast. Similar to the feeling when I've had too much caffeine or not enough sleep ... or when I'm sick.

So, I decided I needed to listen to my body. It was telling me loud-and-clear that I needed to back off a little. So, I reset my alarm for an hour and a half later.

I'll figure out workouts for tomorrow.

Nutrition-wise, not so good today. It wasn't bad ... I didn't eat any ice cream, or other evil thing. I did make a protein shake so that I could get some additional calories and protein in. The problem on this Sunday (and next Friday) is that it's my first night off from work. I'm not typically up for more than 6 hours ... being up for more is very unusual. So, I just don't have the time to get all the food intake that I'm supposed to. Guess it keeps my body & metabolism guessing that way!

Tomorrow's workout is supposed to be YogaX. I've only got a few things I absolutely have to do tomorrow, but 1 of the things is going to take me a while ... at least 2 hours, but I should allow 3 just in case I run into problems with it. That means I don't have time for 3 3/4 hours of P90X workouts, along with running.

So, I'm going to do what I can do, and not worry about what I think I should have tried to do. Depending on the time I have, I'm going to first do Plyometrics (I'm a Plyometric-Virgin ... it's my first time doing "the MOTHER of all P90X workouts"). Then, if there's time, I'll do my other "make-up" workout, Shoulders & Arms with Ab Ripper X.

Goals:

1. Make-up workouts: Plyometrics. Shoulders & Arms. Ab Ripper X.
2. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
   
3. Drink 6 bottles of water.
4. Stop eating at least 2 hours before bedtime.
   
5. Take my vitamins.
