P90X Day 19 + The Abs Diet – Ab Ripper X, Legs And Back
P90X workout today was Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X. As usual, I started with Ab Ripper. I’ve actually found that it is a really good warm-up for the main exercise. Legs and Back, as usually, kicked my butt. I crushed it, I pushed hard, but it wears me out majorly (I’m writing this at 9pm, and starting to feel the soreness in the glutes).
I used to hate this workout. And I still do. Not that I hate doing it, I just hate that I’m not crushing it. But I guess that is what training does. Eventually I’ll get better, I’ll get stronger, and I’ll be able to do more.
Nutrition was good today. Ready for the spaghetti to be out of the household though!
Breakfast – Shakeology with skim milk, natural PB, and a banana.
Snack #1 – Almonds
Lunch – Spaghetti, whole grain noodles
Snack #2 – Box of raisins
Supper – Baked chicken, steamed veggies, and a bit of oven baked potato bites.
Snack #3 – Not there yet. Leaning towards protein shake tonight, just for something different.
The Shakeology really hit the spot today. Usually I’m very hungry by my mid morning snack. Today, I was far from hungry. I ate the snack because I needed to, but I did not feel like I was famished, even after a tough workout. Plus, my energy level has been higher today. Glad and thankful to have my shipment in and back on it.
We also got our copy of Turbo Fire in today. Very glad to get it. My wife is going to be starting it in February and let it run its course. I previewed one of the HIIT workouts. I may do one of those as an addition to tomorrow’s workout, just for fun.
