Wow, I almost didn't get today's blog in before my self imposed deadline. I'm only going to allow myself not to blog on days that I rest because I really have nothing to blog about then. An hour left in the day is just inside the deadline. Man that alarm is going to be early tomorrow morning.
Today was Shoulders and Arms. I felt like I got a much better workout today than last week. Last week I was so shredded from the Chest and Back day that I couldn't do much without pain. And after this disc last week I was in agony. But all those things are behind me now and while my arms are sore, it's the good "I got a great workout" soreness and not the "what have I done" from last week.
I will admit that I went up in weight on most exercises today, but over-reached on some workouts and had to humble myself back down to lower weights. But I really do like this disc. I'm looking forward to being able to do this workout with some heavy weights and really get those glamor muscles popping.
The only "injuries" I'm dealing with right now is that my lower back is really sore and the side where I blew out my disc a ways back is sore too. So I skipped Ab-Ripper today. I know that it's great for my core and that helps the back, but it's so tough to do right now that I just figured the added strain wouldn't help.
Diet has been pretty good so far. The only workouts I'm getting so far are the P90x discs. I'm not supplementing it with any additional cardio, so hopefully we'll see good results at the end of Phase 1. I'm eating alot more but still find myself hungry after a period of time which is good. I have to imagine that the furnace is burning more and I'm definately so far giving it a better chunk of fuel. I can't tell the difference yet visually, but I'm sure it's coming. I'm in such high spirits right now that I sorta doubt the mirror because I think my outlook is tinting my self-image. I know when I feel lousy I think I look lousy, so I imagine it's the same for good thoughts.
I'm looking forward to Yoga tomorrow morning. I'm going to try the 1 hour disc I have of YRG because I feel I can do that and still have it beat my butt for an hour. But I won't be standing on my head or twisting into painful positions. I think this will be a good workout. Once I can rock this, I'll bet I can just barely start to keep up with the Yoga-X dvd.
Looking forward to pressing play tomorrow. Even if it is going to seem way to early.
