End of another era

Today was the first day of the last week of this round of P90X, I am very proud to think that just over a year ago I was 265 lbs and wearing a size 46 pant and now I am about to finish my second round of P90X and even run 3 to 4 miles on my rest days. Today was Chest and Shoulders and like all my last workouts I really wanted to bring it today and make the numbers go up. For the most part  I did make that happen but there were a few exercises where it didn't. I didn't lose any reps on the exercises and did get more reps on just about every chest workout but some of my pull ups didn't change all that much. I am guessing it has a lot to do with doing the workout before getting anything other than water in my body for fuel. If you think about it I did a four mile run and now a serious workout both on the fuel I got from dinner the night before. When I finished my run yesterday I was being a little cheesy and talking about how good of shape I was in but was brought back down to earth when even after a shower it took me a good 45 minutes to stop sweating, but I am sure some of that had to do with the 100 degree heat we have been dealing with here for the last few day. Today is a day that I am notoriously bad about wat I eat but that is not the case this time, we are having the family over the house and we are doing the cooking which means that it is healthy, we are having bbq crock pot pork and it is one of my favorite meals...yum! Tomorrow is cardio and abs, I am going to up the intensity in prep for INSANITY next week but am still deciding if I am going to go Bob Harper cardio or Plyo, right now I am leaning more towards Plyo since it is more similar to what INSANITY will be like but you never know that might change when the time comes to put the DVD in. On a final note, I was pretty happy this morning when I woke up and didn't have any soreness in my legs at all. I am guessing that few minutes I took to stretch when I finished the run paid off. Today I had my Shakeology with milk rather than water, a little bit of coffee, and blended with ice. It really made it thicker and it was really good. The only hard thing about it was a 2 year old trying to try it but I know better than to give a kid a drink with coffee in it. Come back tomorrow to see what cardio I ended up doing.
