P90X, Week 2, Day 5

I heard the following lyrics on the radio today and thought that they really apply to this whole P90X thing, "even on my weakest day, I get a little bit stronger." What a great line!
I met my friend Shannon this evening at 6pm and we did our 2 mile jog, then I came home and got the kiddos to bed, and then came downstairs and ho-hummed around, and eventually just pushed play. Sometimes I feel like a walking advertisement for the P90X workouts, but really the things Tony says stick with you and really do work.
I thought it was funny that I was so excited to be doing legs today because I forgot that it included back. HA! Had to run and breakout the pull-up bar and chair. I really like this routine. I do great on the legs and struggle, struggle, struggle on those pull-ups. I like using the chair though...it really does make a difference on how I feel about the workout. Everyone is motivated by different things.
My eating was not so well today. I like food. I struggle with this whole cutting back on calories. I know how important it is, but when faced with choices I rarely make the right one where food is concerned. I had a repeat of the soy sausage muffin for breakfast (I like those! They'll be a new staple for me). For lunch I met my brother and we had Mexican (my absolute favorite type of food). I ordered a chicken burrito, BUT I only drank water! That counts for something right? I followed this with Starbucks. Um...this has got to be my biggest weakness - COFFEE!! I love, love, love coffee and would be in so much trouble if I worked in a coffee shop. I had a nonfat Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte (my fave until snow arrives then I like Peppermint Mochas). I can't order a tall. I've tried. It only makes me mad. While in Starbucks I happened to look at the bakery case - NEVER DO THIS! I bought a pumpkin muffin. Um...YUM! Dinner was a Boca burger and carrots. After my workout I had a Luna bar (LOVE these!) and chocolate milk. That was my day.
I lost a pound this week! I'm just happy that the numbers are finally going down and not staying put. I'll take a pound a week! I know I could do better if I switched up my eating habits. I normally avoid Starbucks, but when I'm out and about I like to grab a cup.
I'll try to start fresh tomorrow. Looking ahead I'll probably have to do my rest day tomorrow since my Sister is coming over for our weekly movie night! She's on a no carb diet so I normally eat really well with her!
