June 28 Chest and Back plus Ab ripper X

June 28 Chest and Back plus Ab ripper X

What a workout today. Today I restarted phase 1 and completed Chest and Back. I got to tell you the second time through was a lot easier than the first. Chest and Back is a 60 min work out and consists of mainly pushups and pull ups. But there was this crazy move called the Lawn Mower. Intense is the correct work for that move.
After completing my 60 min of chest and back I than did the Ab ripper X. As I laid out the yoga mat of course, Sampson my cat decided he had to lay on it and started attacking me when I went to push him off. A spray bottle works well with cats. All I have to do now is point it at him and he know what it is and ran away. So anyways after the little run in with the cat I started the Ab Ripper X. It’s about 16 min long and I do not think the Ab Ripper ever gets any easier. The Ab Ripper X focuses on strengthening your core muscles and is not just all crunches. I still struggled to make it all the way through but hung with it and hit the pause button a few times. I did not complete 25 of each set but did what I could and pushed to get that one extra to really feel the burn.
After my workout I drank the p90x recovery drink. This drink tastes so good; it tastes exactly like an orange creamsicle. I like to mix it in my blender with a handful of ice. It makes it frothy and helps cool you down after a good workout.
I told myself this but never really thought I had the will power to actually do it. I decided to totally change what I have been eating. Of course I drink the shakeology in the morning. Today I drank the greenberry and threw a handful of strawberries and mixed it in the blender. They all taste good but I still prefer the chocolate shake with a banana. For lunch I had a black bean burger with tomatoes. They actually taste better than I thought. For dinner I am grilling some chicken breast that I marinated in a little bit of olive oil fresh basil, parsley, and cilantro with the juice form half a lemon mmm sounds good.
One more thing before I go grill my chicken. I have been using the WOWY super gym to keep track and login my workouts. I’ll talk a little bit more about that tomorrow.
