P90X Day 2 + The Abs Diet – Complete Soreness!
Today was P90X day 2 – Plyo X. The word of the day is “sore.” Lower core is sore from Ab Ripper X. Legs are feeling it a bit as well from Plyo. Upper body is sore from Chest and Back.
Yep…weakness leaving my body, and I’m okay with that.
Diet today so far (one snack left, I’ll discuss):
Breakfast – Smoothie with 1 cup milk, 2 T non fat yogurt, 1 tsp ground flaxseed, 2 tsp protein powder, 1 handful of blueberries, 6 frozen strawberries. Not bad…could be better. Drank 12 oz. Also had some almonds. I need to eat more here.
Snack – 1oz Almonds
Lunch – Turkey sandwich on whole wheat with baby spinach and an orange. Yes, little variety here from yesterday, but it’s easy to take.
Snack – 12 oz of the smoothie I made.
Supper – Lean meat chili (approx cup and half) – 93/7 lean ground beef, tomato juice, rotel, petite diced tomatoes, some black beans , and 1 tsp or so of ground flaxseed. Used 4 pieces of whole grain melba toast as well.
My final snack will probably be turkey and low fat cheese (yes, I picked some up) with milk, possibly flavored with just a bit of protein powder.
Tomorrow is one of my favorite workouts…shoulder and arms. My goal is to lift heavy. If I make it to 8 reps, good. I’m not going to be dissappointed with 6 reps. Reps will be slower with more resistance to help build more muscle.
