Thought I was going to lose it today

Just like yesterday today has been a really good day, I was able to sleep in because my daughter slept in and I was still able to get a good workout in. Today was P90X Legs and Back. I went into this workout knowing I was going to push as hard as I could and try and get those pull up numbers going up again. I am happy to say that is exactly what happened. As a matter of fact the first set of pull ups, reverse grip chin ups, I got to 9 unassisted without having to go to the chair. With the exception of one set all of my total pull ups went up as well so it was a great workout. Another cool think was that it was not just the first pull up exercise that I got more unassisted reps on it was all of them. At the end that did cost me a little bit because although I was still getting more unassisted reps my total number of reps took a hit by the end. Again I am ok with it since my other reps went up so much. I am also on the fence if I want to add more resistance to some of the exercises. I think I could get away with it since I am getting all the reps in at the resistance level that I am using now and if I keep going after this workout like I did today then I might vomit if I push harder. When I finished the workout today I was totally spent and just had to take a minute to gather myself before going into the kitchen and having my supplements and going to shower. Not to mention I was also covered from head to toe in sweat. Tomorrow is the end of week 9 and I will only have 4 weeks to go. I am excited about tomorrow because it is yoga Monday and I love me some yoga Monday. What is even more exciting about it is that my wife offered to do it with me so we are going to rock some Bob Harper yoga tomorrow and I can't wait. I am also looking forward to snack time today, I am going to be having a Shakeology chocolate shake, I am going to be making it with ice and some peanut butter and I am excited to see what it is going to taste like. I have had it with just the powder and water and it is thick and tastes good as well as keeps me full for hours so I am guessing this is going to be even better. It is not an inexpensive meal replacement shake but from what I have had of it so far it is worth it. I guess it just depends on how you look at it. Most people use it as a replacement for a full meal such as lunch and you are not going to go out for lunch on a work day for 4 dollars and get as healthy a meal as Shakeology gives you.

Tip: When working out, don't worry about the people around you the only person you are trying to impress is yourself, and the only person you are competing against is the voice in your head saying you can't do it.
