Day 29

Hey!

So I've felt way to busy the last few weeks to update this blog but now that finals are here I have a bit more free time to really get on this!

Last week was the recovery portion of first phase of P90X. It looked something like this: Monday - Yoga X; Tuesday - Core Synergistics; Wednesday - Kenpo X; Thursday - X Stretch; Friday - Core Synergistics; Saturday - Yoga X; Sunday - Rest day.

It was a nice recovery week and the new exercise, Core Synergistics, was fun although I don't have much room to do some of the exercises.

Alright so here we are, week 5, the start of phase 2. Let the muscle confusion do its job!

Today was a new workout, Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. I really enjoyed this workout but underestimated what it would take out of me. Instead of my goal of 12 reps, I was only able to crank out 8-10 on some exercises. Already feeling the sore muscles so I know today was a good workout.

I also hopped on the scale today and weighed in at 161lbs! This is roughly 9lbs less than when I started! Check the link at the end of this post to see my 28 day, before and after pictures.

I'm going to stop posting all my meals but I think I'll throw up some recipes I come up with from time to time.

For example:

Green Bell Pepper, Tomato, Mushroom, and Turkey Scramble.

-Slice up 2 Peppers and use 1/3rd for the scramble.

-1/3rd of a can of diced tomatoes

-2oz (est.) Mushrooms

-3oz Turkey sliced up

-6 Egg whites

-Saute the peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and turkey in a frying pan with olive oil. Next add the egg whites. Cover frying pan so it will cook better. Add cheese and eat.

I was experimenting with this this morning and accidentally burned the scramble a little. Hopefully it will go better next time. Although under 400 calories, this meal takes a lot of space so you need a decent sized frying pan.

See you tomorrow! Don't forget to BRING IT!
