Had a pretty good day today...day #1 of the 2nd recovery week (and day #1 of week #8 overall) of the P90X program. This week, I do Yoga X twice, Core Synergistics twice, X Stretch twice, and Kenpo once. You still work your butt off...just a limited number of resistance exercises...all in the Core Synergistics workout.
Unfortunately, I really see no tangible progress in Yoga X. As I've mentioned before, I get the double whammy on this workout because 1) I'm not very flexible and 2) I have poor balance. This is why postures like Half Moon give me fits. A few of the postures (i.e. Shoulder stand, crane, etc.) I do see some small improvements. However, easier postures like getting down to 90 degrees in the crescent and warrior postures sometimes seems to get worse!! In spite of all of this, I trudge on faithfully following the program...realizing that any of these workouts I do only help to improve upon these shortcomings.
I haven't posted much about my nutrition lately...only because I really haven't eaten anything different. I'm actually quite lucky that I'm not one of those people that can't eat the same thing every (or every other) day because I'd probably lose it. I still have turkey bacon and cottage cheese for every breakfast during the week and most weekends. I still have either a Boca burger or a turkey sandwich for lunch. I still quite often have BBQ chicken for supper. Pretty exciting stuff, huh?
Off to bed...we have early practice tomorrow, so I'm up at 4am (4.5 hours from now).
Core Synergistics tomorrow.
