I just completed my 4th week in phase II. Technically, last week should have been my recovery week, but I extended the workout by one week...so, this week will be my recovery week. This means that I get to rest my muscles (sort of) and do 2 days of Yoga X, 2 days of Core Synergistics, 1 day of Kenpo, and 2 days of X Stretch. The last recovery week kicked my butt...BUT...I believe it delivered what was promised. I felt ready to move on to Phase 2. This week will mark the end of phase II and the beginning of Phase III. In a few days, I'll be at day 60, which means I'll post more pictures. I am more curious for these picture than the previous because I think I'll see a pretty big difference from day 1 to 60 vs. day 1 to 30. That is only logical, but I was a little bummed when I didn't notice much change...not much though...just a little!
The other pretty significant change that I'll undergo is the dietary requirements. My protein is cut in half. I'll certainly make it through, but I don't think I'll be able to do the protein shake every day...or at least not to the degree I was doing it before! Maintaining the diet has been pretty easy to do. Yeah, I know...I'm a creature of routine, but I've been pretty disciplined in that area. When I eat an unknown food, like Pizza for example, I loosely try to figure what I would count it as and then round up so I err on the side of conservative with my portions.
So my post the other day was more or less about this "funk" that I've been in. Recognizing it for what it, I realize that now, more than ever, I have to keep pushing on. This is the "OK, I've done this for a while and am ready for a change vibe." I go through this every time I commit to some significant life change pertaining to exercise or diet. If I push through this, I'm going to come out on top...I know this. I just have to keep posting, eating right, and pressing play. I'm gonna get this done! In a month, I will have successfully completed my sophomore year of P90X. I won't graduate until I look like a P90X graduate.
Not much else to say right now...I will post more often this week. I'm struggling a bit for topics, so if you are reading this and have something that you'd like me to use as the subject of one of my posts, let me know...I'll be happy to oblige!
Thanks for reading!
