Day 5, P90X

I saw the most perfect quote on Facebook today, "Oh, I know I'll improve. It's just that my life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes now. That's a sentence I read once, and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul." - Anne Shirley, Anne of Green Gables. It seems so fitting most days!
Today was legs and back, oh my! I loved, loved, loved the leg portion of this routine. I kept up with all of them and really felt the burn on some. I was not so thrilled with the back portion - I can't do a single pull-up, so I was sitting on the floor with my band attached to the door doing arm pulls. I hate doing it that way. It makes me feel like a failure. I know we all have to start somewhere though, I just feel silly. When I was working out with a trainer I would do pull-ups with the bar at my hip level and my feet extended out (kind of like an upside down push-up). I was getting good at them too and I know I was close to being able to actually do one (before I got prego with baby #2). I wish there was a way to have one of those bars here instead of my husband's bar that taunts me every time I walk past it. Darn thing!
I almost didn't do P90X tonight. I think my little guy is teething. It took me forever to get him to go to sleep and I was so tired, but I put it in and pushed play anyway. I'm so glad I did. I don't know what it is about these workouts - they make me feel like superwoman! Maybe it's the whole, "I'm doing P90X" thing. I don't know, but I like it!
I've been hearing more and more about the recovery drinks so I'm going to do some research on them, and if I decide to do it we get paid on Friday...just in time for week 2! Right now I have a glass of chocolate milk and an apple (sometimes a Kashi TLC granola bar) after my workouts. Yes, people, I said chocolate milk! Here is an article about it (just do a google search...there are tons of them!):

My husband actually told me about the whole chocolate milk thing (or did I tell him?)...I don't remember anymore, but that's what he does after he lifts. I think it's working pretty well for me.
I have my weigh in with my facebook support group tomorrow! I'm hoping I dropped a pound or two this week. I feel good and like I've been eating well, but honestly I haven't tracked. I have so many other things to do then try and log into yet another website. I was keeping a journal, but it doesn't really help me other then I know WHAT I ate, and it all gets jumbled together on the pages...so annoying! So, yeah, I'm still struggling with the whole food portion. I always have, and probably always will.
So, just remember what Dr. Seuss says, "today you are you, that is truer than true, there is no one alive who is youre then you" - you can do it!
