Now I say farewell

No not to the blog or to the readers of the blog but to disk one chest and back of P90X. I decided to try a new workout yesterday and went after "Watch football X". So far it has been the easiest workout so far. I decided that it would not be a bad idea to take a day off and just rest since a lot of areas of my body were pretty sore yesterday. Today starts week three of the first phase of training which means that each of the weight training workouts will be the last of that disk until phase three starts so I shouldn't be doing the workout I did this morning again for about six weeks. When my alarm went off this morning I forgot that it was monday so that didn't really start me out on the right foot, but hey I have not missed a workout yet. When I got into my first position to get started on push ups I felt a little weak an as I continued through the workout that trend seemed to follow. I can't say that I feel great about my workout today since pretty much all my numbers were down, both in the chest and back side and the ab ripper x side of the disk. In the ab ripper side not only were my numbers down but my form was pretty bad as well. When I have time today I am going to have to do a little bit of thinking to try and figure out why I didn't have any strength. Was I tired, is it because it is the last week of the first phase and my muscles have had enough and are ready to recover, do I need to get off the fat shredder diet a little sooner rather than later and move onto adding more carbs for energy, or was it just an off day? I'm thinking it was just an off day but I am sure I will know better as today, tomorrow, and Wednesday's workouts come and go. Tomorrow is another round of Plyo and although it is still one of the hardest workouts to get through it is quickly becoming one of my favorites so far because it gets a good sweat going and even thought it is about an hour long it really seems to go by pretty quickly. Quick note on my Kempo X workout from Saturday, I don't know if I mentioned it or not but I was a little concerned about the quality of the workout and my ability to keep my heart rate up when I did it the first time. This week I had a much better idea of how to do the moves and get my entire body involved so I got a much better workout this time around and am looking forward to this Saturday so I can really see what I can do. Back to today's workout, is the one thing I can take from it is that I did feel the burn in the muscle groups I was working out today and should have a pretty good amount of soreness tomorrow. I am going to work harder to get ab ripper X back under control and then start to work on getting the same number of reps as the people on the video. Today is a late day and tomorrow is a very early morning so I am going to get going and get ready for work. Here is hoping that my energy level starts to raise as the day moves forward.

Until next time
