May 18, P90X3, Week 2, Day 1

Total Synergistics

This is such a great workout. I was able to hang with most of it. I was able to up my weights a little. Move 5, Crawly Plyo Push-ups, last week, I died with 10 seconds left, but this week, I was able to hang all the way to the end. But I was so winded, I needed to pause the DVD for a few extra moments to catch my breath before the next move. Then on the next move, I upped my weight from 8.75kgs to 20kgs. A little too light last week. This week I was dying by the last rep. Pretty much all the 8.75kgs I used last week, I upped to 10kgs this week. On move 15, Side Rise Punch, I went from 2kgs to 5kgs. That was tough. Especially since my dumbbells are kind of long, I had to angle them to get them under my arm. Oh also, on the Flying Warrior, 2kgs to 5kgs. I didn't want to take the time to switch plates on my dumbbells so I put a towel through 2 of my 2.5kg plates and had 5kgs in each hand. Worked nicely. Finally, on the final move, Warrior Squat Moon, I was able to keep my balance better, not tapping out as much as last week.

Again, I started out with the Cold Start which I love! Total calorie burn was 619kcals. This is my first straight measurement of calories burned for this workout because I did the fit test last week. But the Cold Start is three calories down from the last time I did it.

Vegan Chocolate Shakeology for dinner. Feeling good about my eating.

I'm still struggling with sleep hours. I'm going to get it though.

Oh, finally, the weather today was so weird. I felt so UN-motivated. But I think it was affecting everyone. I actually accidentally took a nap in the afternoon. Something I almost never do without some type of physical activity prior. But my Super energetic daughter also took a nap today after she got home. Something she never has done before, so I'm not beating myself up over it.
Over all, a good start to Week 2 of P90X3 and to my work week as well.
