P90x Day 31 - Back and Biceps, Ab-Ripper X

Today's workout was a great workout. I love bicep workouts for some reason and this one was a doozy. I hadn't done the new back and bicep together workout, but so far that and the workout from Monday I much prefer to the first phase. I'm feeling it already and I'm sure tomorrow my arms are going to be jelly. It was funny while working out my hands started cramping up from the forearm workout. I figured that's how you know you're giving it your best. I also feel like back workouts now are better since I got the resistance band. I look forward to the day I can do one of these workouts without having to use bands, but there is no way I could do the workout they did today on pullups. Even if I could do pullups, I think this one would have been rough. "Corn Cobb Pull-ups", you gotta be kidding me.

I can't believe I'm 30 days in already. So far I don't feel like I'm going to burn out (knock on wood) and while I'm sure this next 30 days will be much tougher I can see myself making it through the 90 days. I'm really enjoying getting to work out again, and once I can get back into mornings I'll be fine. The last 3 days I've had to do my workouts in the evening because I feel like crap in the mornings. I've been getting in some good workouts, but it's much tougher to make the time when I get home after work. It's been a chore that I'm looking forward to getting rid of. I'm still not 100% and now that my sinuses are "draining" I think I'm probably a day or so from getting this behind me. I think my throat is going to be killing me tomorrow but we'll see if I can't get some cough drops to mitigate that.

For all the effort I've put into the workouts this week, my diet has had some backsliding. Lunches haven't been pre-made because my whole house is sick and as a result my choices have not been ideal. Not horrendous, but not good either. I'm looking forward to getting back on track tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Yoga day. I'm thinking that I'm going to try Yoga X again. I haven't tried it since week one and have been doing another hour long Yoga workout (YRG) and I think I'm going to attempt it. It's just so acrobatic and it seems like some of the moves in the DVD are just done to show you that Tony Horton is really flexible. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the value in all of it. We'll see how much time I have and when I can get the workout in.

I was hoping to get progress pictures taken tonight, but my picture taker is asleep already. We'll do them a day late tomorrow.

Looking forward to pressing play tomorrow. It's nice to be able to focus on workouts, they are my constant this week with everything else being so chaotic.
