P90X, Week 2, day 3

Tonight was tough for me. I almost didn't get my workout in. I didn't start until 845pm, so it's now almost 1030...I normally like to be getting into bed by now, so fingers-crossed that the kiddos both have a good night sleep. I spent about an hour and a half at the grocery store tonight. I bought a lot of things I've never bought before and it took me some time to find a lot of it. The one thing I wanted and couldn't find was Quinoa...I looked all over the rice aisle. I wanted to try a fellow blogger's recipe, so I might have to make a special trip to Whole Foods. Although that would probably take me all day since I've never been in one before. LOL.
I sat down with the P90X nutrition plan today and was pleasantly surprised with what I found. I thought it would be in "greek" and that I wouldn't be able to do it, but I actually had a good bit of it already. I'm going to start it off fresh tomorrow! I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
As for the workout, tonight was shoulders and arms. I know this workout is supposed to be a lot harder...I mean aren't you supposed to at least pause when he says bonus round?! I seriously need to go and buy heavier weights. Right now I'm using 5 lbs and I'm maxing out every exercise. The girl in the video uses 10 lb dumbbells most of the time. I think I'll buy a set of 8's and 10's and see how I feel.
The killer is always the Ab Ripper X. I'm getting better at some of the exercises, and on some it feels like I'm getting worse! If that's even possible?!
My beachbody coach brought me a free sample of greenberry Shakeology today. I've never heard of greenberry, so I'm open to any suggestions on how to make a good shake with it. I ordered the recovery drink (I don't remember if I said that yesterday or not), but it shipped today and the notice said I'd have it by Monday. I'll be part way into week 3.
Tomorrow is Yoga. Hmmm...not sure how I feel about that one yet. It definitely isn't my favorite workout.

  1. mmm quinoa, did you try looking around the grains/pasta section? I know target sells for sure if you didnt want to hit up whole foods. :) But atleast at whole foods you could buy from the bulk and just get what you need until you find out if you like it or not. The bulk section is great, you can even get spices from the bulk! I hate buying a whole bottle of something if I only need a tsp. :)
