On Thursday I had a revelation, I hate my fat stomach and I'm sick of just bitching about it. So I decided to start my P90X workout over AGAIN. I have a totally different mindset and I'm in it for the long hall this time.
This was my diet for Thursday:
Breakfast: Bowl of Special K with Skim milk, with a grape fruit (no sugar), and a whole grain bagel with fat free butter.
Throughout the day I snacked on cashews, sugar free pop-cicles, and fat free yogurt.
Lunch: 6 inch turkey and ham sub from Sub-way with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, light mayo, and provolone cheese. I also had baked Doritos.
After lunch I had a home made fruit salad for a snack and then before dinner I had another fat free yogurt.
Dinner: I had a grilled chicken salad
Before bed I had 5 sugar free popsicles ( It doesn’t matter what I am eating, I’m a binge eater when it comes to anything!)
As for the workout on Thursday it went a little something like this:
Chest and Back
I was winded during the warm up and wanted to quit but I pushed on - I had to pause a few times but I mad it through. Then here is a break down of my exercise goals and actuals. (I am using my bands, rather than the pull-up bar.) I’m not sure if I’m using the bands right because it seems a lot easier than an actual pull up and I’m doing a lot.
Goal Actual
Standard Pushups 10 7
Wide Front Pull-Ups 15 12
Military Push-Ups 5 3
Reverse Grip Pull-Ups 8 12
I like to pause and extend my break about 5 extra minutes.
Wide Fly Push-Ups 5 3
I’m most certainly not ready to lift one leg while doing these - these are so hard
Close Grip overhand Pull ups 12 8
Decline Push-ups 8 12
I really like this one - it sort of hurts my ankles though but I really feel a the burn during this exercise!
Heavy Pants 15 15
I used 8 lb weights for this one - I like this exercise a lot too !
Again another extended water break : ) - about 3 extra minutes. And the soup I decided to stir was broccoli cheddar baked potato and I believe I was salavating
Diamond Push-Ups 5 2
I hate these so much - they are way too hard! And there is no making contact with my chest to my hands - I just fall down and don’t want to get back up. \
Lawnmowers 10 10
I don’t get anything out of this exercise so I’m obviously doing it wrong and that frustrates me. I don’t want to do it at all if I can’t do it right. And I used my 8lb weights for this one not the bands.
Dive Bomber Push-Ups 3 0
I hate these - I don’t think I’ll ever get the hand of these; my body doesn’t work that way. It’s basically like the yoga moves.
Back Flys 10 15
I didn’t extend this break - I just wanted to get it the hell over with. This video just basically annoys me.
Since round 2 is the same workout just a different sequence - I won't recap it. I kept my goals the same (low) and I did about the same as round 1.
Ab Ripper X went pretty well. It just took me double the time to finish because I had to take so many breaks - but I did do 25 reps for each exercise.
