Not a very good workout for me this morning. I started my Yoga workout and got about 15 minutes into it and just couldn't get it started. I had alot of guests in my house from out of town for my daughter's birthday and they were all out in the living room living it up and it was just distracting. I'm a little concerned that the last 2 yoga days I've really not had a very good workout.
I weighed in this morning. For the first phase i'm down 7.5 pounds and about .5% BF. It's not entirely what I wanted I'll admit, but I'm pleased with it. I really struggled early this morning with "all that work for only 7.5 pounds" but I'm not surprised. It's hard when you start doing well to not just set that bar higher for yourself than is reasonable. I think I'll be pretty pleased if I can keep that ratio up and lose 25 pounds or in 3 months. I'm acutally more disappointed by the .5% loss in BF, but that could be any number of reasons for that electronic measurer I have. I might weigh in again tomorrow just to see if the number changes any.
This next week I'm suppossed to add in some running a few nights a week. That'll be interesting to see how that goes and I'm sure the additional cardio will help. My conern is that my eating will either leave me energy deprived or I'm going to have to increase my intake to balance out the new calorie deficit.
Anyways, one Phase down. I'm looking forward to getting back into the weight training weeks and see what Tony has in store for me for the next month.
Here are my fitness test results. I think I barely passed maybe I didn't. But I'm not about to let that deter me from doing P90x. It'll just be harder but the rewards will be that much more. I'm not in this for just 90 days, so my next phase will be even better when I do that fitness test.
