LOL I thought about you this morning as I did my workout! I bet tonight when you get home and you don't have a workout to finish, you're going to be loving it!!! AND, even though you're up late now, the more you get up early to work out, I bet the earlier you'll be able to fall asleep.
Just don't turn into an old lady like me and be in bed at 8pm. After my two workout days, I am just wasted, and my DH makes fun of me for wanting to be sleeping at 8.
That's the great part about working out in the am. You either,
A) have time to do whatever you want at night (I'm a HUGE advocate of this ) or
B) can get in an extra workout. I did plyo yesterday am, then did 3.5 miles on the elliptical last night. I'm hoping the extra workouts will be what really helps the pounds melt.
I'm really nervous about weighing/measuring myself on Friday. So nervous, in fact, that I just may not do it, and wait longer. I am afraid that I won't see the results I am hoping to see, and I will lose my momentum. I'm still debating...but at this moment, I don't think I'm going to do it. Arrgh!
I've thought about making Halloween my official weigh-in/measure day and just not even think about it till then. Is that too long?
For the first time, I am not weighing, and oddly (maybe not so oddly) I am sticking with everything consistently - eating on plan (for the most part. There may have been a mojito...or three ), and working out six days a week. I have NEVER done that before. But I also have weighed myself every day and been angry to find that the scale either didn't move or, even worse, went up.
Coincidence? Maybe, but I'm thinking probably not.
I totally get what you're saying. I too feel changes, like I KNOW I'm getting stronger; as I'm up to 15lb weights where my first week, I used 5s. I think the inches are coming off sloooooowly but I think they're coming off. But I don't really feel like I've lost any weight. But, I see myself everyday...so there's that.
OMG. Just finished Core Synergistics.... and I made it ALL the way through.. of course didn't do all the reps, but I didn't die or quit, woot! My boyfriend lasted to minute 25... Poor guy, I think he did too much too fast. I've completed Chalean Extreme (90 days), so I was ready for a new challenge, and I think this will definitely be it!!
Hope everyone is doing great! I'm hoping that I will see some awesome results.
Question: do you guys drink a recovery drink?? I am doing half a protein shake, so like 50 calorieswith 10 grams protein. Not sure if this is good or not, since my goal is weight loss, not muscle building... thoughts?
I do not drink a recovery drink. Usually I would come home from work, start dinner, do my p90x and then my DH would come home and we would eat. So.. I didn't see a) the need or b) I was eating anyways.
Now that I'm trying the morning-workout-thing, I've been getting up, doing the p90x, taking a shower and drinking my hot tea on the way to work. Then when I get to work and get out of our daily 15 min meeting, I have my instant oatmeal.
I thought only guys did the recovery drink? The only person I know who drinks them is a former military guy here at work that works out like CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY. Crazy.
I was drinking it for a while for hard workouts but stopped. I worried about the weird stuff they put in it. Totally unnatural. I have a banana and water after working out now.
Well i was poking around the internet looking for information, and they do recommend it for anyone doing the program. I think it's mainly for the protein for muscle strength. But I can't afford the drink they recommend, so I get Jillian Michaels Vanilla Protein powder and blend it up with some water and ice. Only 100 calories, and I split it with my boyfriend who's doing P90X with me. My schedule is a little different though, I do my P90X at night after dinner. What I'm afraid of is having a low blood sugar episode after (i'm a diabetic), so I think I'm going to keep doing it. I was STARVING this morning when I woke up even with the recovery drink.
Do you guys find that you are hungrier doing this program? I know I was with chalean extreme. On days when I exercise, I am ravenous!
