P90X Day 5 (Round 2 of 2011) – Ab Ripper X, Legs And Back
Wow, 3 nights in a row of horrible sleep and P90X the next morning. I had gone nearly all summer getting pretty good sleep, and then this. Not a great way to start a ketosis diet and intense exercise (makes me crave carbs too much).
But, P90X called my name this morning, and I responded. Did Ab Ripper first, since the legs workout is really intense….or at least, I make it that way.
I posted this on my Twitter and I 100% stick by it: If you do P90X Legs and Back and you are not shaking towards the end of the workout, you didn’t push hard enough. I barely had enough gas left in the tank to finish this one out. Towards the end I could barely muster a pull-up, and the leg work had me nearly collapsing. Week 1 of P90X again….ahh, gotta love the feeling!
So with one day in week 1 of P90X to go, the only thing I can think of is this:
NEED. TO. EAT. MORE.
I’m already thinking through my grocery list for this next week. More variety in meats. More veggies. More things to eat period. I want to eat clean and have done 95% well this week. But, I’m simply not taking in enough, so I have to be willing to eat more. In particular, I plan on adding more protein shakes in. Those seem to work well as extra calories that deliver some type of high nutrition.
So I’m putting it out there: I will eat more!
