I've heard a few discouraging things from internet friends recently but I'm not letting it get me down. I know I'm seeing good results right now so I'm as encouraged as ever!
Tomorrow is a Stretch X day. CAN'T WAIT for that one!
Everyone doing P90X complains about the recovery week being hard as crap. Recovery week is definitely feels less intense for me, but then again, I'm a cardio machine. I can cardio my brains out--the lifting is what gets to me. I think it's the opposite for most people.
Anyway, I'm terrified about this weekend. I'm visiting Tom's folks and I'm going to have many a cheat meal. I'm bringing a ton of whey and egg substitute and cans of chicken breast and veggies and wheat berry bread as a clean eating survival kit in between the onslaught of delicious Italian food spreads. Cheating is inevitable, but this is the big cheat weekend I planned for. Moderation is the key!
Well- did my heavy day today. Wow. I squatted 80 pounds. That's pretty lame, i mean, my squat technique isn't perfect, today was my first time on the smith machine (which is bollocks, there are no actual squatting racks at my gym, which means i have to use the smith machine) and man- ugh.
ReplyDeleteDid heavy bench press and heavy lat pulldowns. I hate lat pulldowns. My least favorite exercise, I think.
I also did 25 minutes of cardio on the elliptical, and spent 5 minutes stretching, so all in all, I did an hour long workout. Not bad.
No worries, sis. Those compound exercises are killer. You'll get stronger. JUST KEEP EATIN' THEM OATZ
ReplyDeleteI should know. Core synergistics is nothing BUT compound stuff and it wipes me out like WHOA.
Glad you had a good one!
...Canned chicken does not sound appetizing.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you look good! So keep it up!
My mom is already resisting getting you a bagel with taylor ham. She respects you! We're gonna get lunch in NY, but you WILL have to eat grandma's meatballs for dinner or there will be hell to pay.
ReplyDeleteIt's just like canned tuna, but chicken. Therefore, more mild, less death-flavored. Tastes like, well, chicken.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the problem :\
Stupid internet friends. :eyeroll:
ReplyDeleteYou know to just ignore them, right???
Oh, if it's canned shredded chicken I guess that's a little different...I was picturing like small chunks of chicken which is more gross. I don't know...it just kinda sounds unappetizing to me.
