LovnLife4NSR’s Mind

Alright, we only have two days left of week 3. Man, it is flying by. On Saturday, we were suppose to do our YogaX, but we decided to do one of the bonus cardios instead. I think our energy levels have really gone up and we both have talked about doing more cardio on our rest day. Hey, this is good: were actually pushing ourselves to do more workouts. We are going to do the YogaX on our Rest/Stretch day. The workout program wasn’t too bad. Each workout was a minute long and every 20 seconds you had to kick it up a notch. Yeah, that got a good sweat going. We both slept bad on Saturday night and we were really lagging yesterday. We did our Leg/Back workout that night. We were missing that extra push we normally have and it showed. We both increased our weights and reps, but you could tell we were just "getting through it." We were just bonked out. We did it though and that is better then nothing. Oh-yeah, my calves are still on fire! When I was doing that calf exercise I could feel the burn all the way up to my butt. Nice! My wife says her calves feel so dead today, but damn ,they are starting to look sexy!

AB RipperX: We did this after the Leg/Back workout. Considering half the exercises require some leg motion the Ab Ripper is always the hardest after the Leg/Back Workout. On top of just lagging, our legs were also sore from the previous nights cardio. We got through the Ab Ripper, but we didn’t push ourselves like we usually do. Hey, I can do the crunchy frogs and not fall over- wooooo-hooooo! I can also do the twists (at the end of the workout) without stopping. I hang with Tony and the gang the whole time. My core is my weakest body part, so I’m stoked it is gett ing much stronger.

Nutrition: Want to know how dedicated we are to this diet? Saturday was my wife’s 30th birthday and do you think we went hog wild on bad food, cake or booze? Nope! She wanted a pie that consisted of low-fat yogurt and mixed berries. We made it, froze it and then had some after our cardio. It was yummy. One thing I have never talked about is our water consumption. I think this a very important part to the dieting. Now, I own a bottled water delivery company (In fact, I’m working on the website right now-I got writers block. If you have suggestions on how a salesman could attratch you to buy bottled water-just drop me a line. I ‘m always up for suggestions and tips. Don’t worry I won’t solicate you. LOL.) and so, I have always been proadvocate of water drinking. Before I started P90X I used to drink about half a gallon of water on a daily basis. Now, I drink a gallon or more. The crazy part is my body uses all that water. I don’t make a ton of trips the bathroom. P90X recommends you drink 6 to 8 12 oz. glasses each day. They also suggest this: 12 oz of water two hours prior to exercise, 8-12 oz of water 15 to 30 minutes before exercise and 4-8 oz of water during exercise. Drink your water folks! It’s important in aiding your body in losing fat. Plus, it helps your local water delivery company pay their bills .

Alright, gotta get back to work, damnit! For those who took time out of their lives to read about mine-THANK YOU SO MUCH! Have a great day and seriously, if you have a good sales tips let me know.
