Okay, this week should have been a breeze for me, but thanks to the holidays, it was anything but. Everywhere I turned there was bad food staring me in the face. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, I didn’t get to do my workouts for two days because I only have one room big enough in my house to exercise in, and that room was occupied by family. I wanted to kick myself for cheating with my diet as badly as I did, but nothing made me feel worse than missing my workouts, so I did them both today. That’s right, I spent two and a half hours with Mr. Tony Horton doing my Kenpo X and Yoga X. I’m also back on track with the healthy eating, so I’m feeling pretty good.
I have to mention that I’ve been trying to add some extra cardio into my P90X routine. I told myself I wouldn’t check my weight until I completed the first month, but I couldn’t help myself. In my first two weeks I lost three pounds, which isn’t bad, but I lost two and a half pounds the first week and only half a pound the second. Since I want to lose weight while gaining lean muscle, I’ve decided to add two additional days of cardio to my routine (probably on my Yoga X and Rest days), bringing my total to four days of cardio each week.
Week four is my Recovery Week so my routine is going to change to:
Day 1 – Yoga X
Day 2 – Core Synergistics
Day 3 – Kenpo X
Day 4 – X Stretch
Day 5 – Core Synergistics
Day 6 – Yoga X
Day 7 – Rest or X Stretch
I also plan to add cardio during this week as well, but I’m going to keep it light. My mother has a great Walk Away the Pounds video that I’ll do everyday except the days I have to do Yoga X.
I’ll be writing a review on Core Synergistics on Tuesday since it’s a new workout for me, otherwise please check back in next Saturday to see how week four went.
