Shoulders and arms is not my favorite weight lifting routine, but I think it's only because my weights are not heavy enough. I use 5 lb dumbbells. I think they are great for the triceps exercises, but I really do need to invest in 8 and 10 lbs. I was going to buy some at Dick's last weekend but the 8's were $12.99 - A PIECE! I did break down and purchase a yoga mat though - I get to try it out tomorrow night. It's been working great for ab exercises.
Today is the first day that I've been truly sore too. I'm not sure if it's because I pushed harder this week or if it's because I've been running more or if it's because of the recovery drink. My first thought is the recovery drink. For the first two weeks I drank chocolate milk afterwards and felt great the next day, now this week I've been drinking the recovery drink and I can't sleep at night and my body hurts. I'm thinking it might be the drink...it really could just be a combination of it all. I don't know. I'm not really sure what to do.
I REALLY enjoy the P90X workout, and I have a feeling that eventually when I try turbofire and Insanity that I'm going to really like them as well, but honestly I'm not a fan of the beachbody products. My "coach" keeps telling me to be a coach, but honestly I don't think that I could sell a product that I don't use or like.
I will definitely be hyping up P90X though - I'm loving this workout (minus Yoga, and even that is starting to become enjoyable...um, maybe I should wait until tomorrow to say that?!).
Food today was decent.
Breakfast - english muffin with peanut butter and Mom's spiced pear jelly; apple
Snack - vitatop
Lunch - chef salad
Snack - 1 serving of Nut-rition digestion nuts mix (my fave because of the mix - Almonds, cranberries, granola, pistachio, cherries); Ummmm...Starbucks Grande Caramel Soy Latte too :)
Dinner - fish (baked in the oven in olive oil and McCormick Baja Citrus seasoning) and a steam packet from Green Giant (potatoes, green beans, peppers)
Snack - recovery drink and TLC bar
I did my 2 mile run with Shannon tonight, came home and put the kiddos to bed, started P90X, and by the time I started Ab Ripper my stomach was growling - loudly. I ate my granola bar before even heading upstairs to shower. That can't be good...maybe not enough protein today?
