It's been getting harder and harder to keep up with the blog. It's been a struggle enough just trying to keep up with P90X. I figure between the two, the blog can slide here and there. Not so much on the P90X front though.
I'm nearing the end of my first week in my 2nd round of P90X. This time around, I'm determined to get to the point where I'm not really modifying anything. I can say that I'm certainly on my way. I'm not expecting that I'll be able to pull off pull-ups without a chair, but I'm certainly gonna push for it toward the end of these 3 months.
One remarkable improvement in Round 2's week 1 vs Round 1's week 1 is, simply put, FINISHING... I don't think I made it through a single routine my first week doing P90X. Thankfully, I stuck with it. I worked through the pain and it's paid off a lot. The other big thing this time around is the addition of Ab Ripper X. Now, I was supposed to be doing Ab Ripper X during every resistance day which is at least 3 times a week during each phase. I think I can count on one hand maybe the number of times I did Ab Ripper X during round 1. It's just as well, I was in no way really prepared for it mentally.
I just finished my 3rd Ab Ripper X this week. It's 4am. I went clubbing tonight and I'm supposed to be up at 5:30 to help Zu volunteer at this Running event. I figure I'll just stay up and since I hadn't yet done the abs, I'd go ahead and take care of them while I'm killing time.
My schedule got shifted over because I have to help yet another friend move out of their house and get it prepped for sale. That took up the portion of my Tues that I should've been doing Plyometrics so I went ahead and marked it as my "rest" day and I've made up the rest of this week a day late. Yesterday, I was doing Yoga X. I felt super sapped and had to quit out halfway through. I was a bit bummed but I couldn't understand why I was feeling so crappy. I decided to check my blood sugar and it was down to 76. I was literally on E so I just decided to call it there. No sense in killing myself right? Aside from that, things have been pretty rock solid.
I've come to the determination that the resistance bands I picked up are kinda useless to me at the moment. They don't equal the tension I need to be working on. They're all essentially less resistance than the weights I'd been using but out grown. This basically means, I need to go out and buy new weights. We'll see if I can get them in the near future.
I think that's all I have for now. Until next time...
