P90x Day 14: Stretch X

Ah today I really needed this, my muscles felt really sore and tight. Especially after the crappy week I've had. Well I'm off to bed, got the dentist first thing in the morning, then work at night. I don't start until 6pm so should be able to get a workout done, tomorrow is chest and back so should be easy enough.

Tomorrow I will post a few pictures ( I think) and I will be posting my stats up, measurements and whatnot.

P90x Day 13: Kenpo X

So I did this yesterday, but didn't write about it on this. I went to the dentist yesterday, well you already know this because of my rant earlier. Halfway through the dental appointment my work phoned and asked me to come in later on in the day. So after the dentist I went home and completed Kenpo X with a half numb face.

Kenpo was still a disaster, coordination wise. I still had to pause the dvd and do the moves a few time and ask my boyfriend if he thought i was doing it correctly. I really, really need to have a mirror in front of me I think.
Tony is right when he says that it will be over before you realise it and you'll be drenched in sweat. I took a five second break to get the sweat out of my eyes it was half way over and then the next time I stopped it was to begin the cool down.

So even though I ain't getting any better at the moves I feel like I'm able to go for a bit long than last week while doing cardio.

P90x Day 12: Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X

So today I woke up nice and early went to the dentist came back home and fell asleep. Silly comfortable bed looking so inviting, woke back up at the back of 3. I hate it when that happens don't you?

I also went to the opticians and got the all clear, I have perfect 20/20 vision so was super happy about that. I don't think I would suit glasses to be honest, but If I needed them then so be it I would have just had to make them work.

P90x Day 11: Yoga X

Yoga wasn't so relaxing this week not one bit, I struggled with just about everything. My ankles were hurting my wrists, just about everything. I was so frustrated at one point I just turned the darn thing off, went and got my protein drink and waited until I'd calmed down. I seriously don't know what was going on today. Maybe because I've missed a few days out? Hmm really confused by the matter.

Update For the Week

So I haven’t posted anything in a little while, and to tell you the truth I didn't have enough time. I didn't even have enough time to do my work out the past two days. I’ve got some sort of cold also which has had me in bed whenever I've not been at work. Even at work I was sluggish and couldn't be bothered doing anything. Something that would take me a hour to do during a normal shift took me my whole shift to do. The reason that I still went into work I that I can afford to take any more sick days.

So today is pay day and I really couldn’t be bothered to go any were, or doing anything. However when I woke up this morning, I realized that my nose jewelery had come out during the night and I couldn’t find my other one to put in. So I got ready and went away to the nearest piercing place to get a new one. Got back home and the damn thing won’t go it. It’s already closed up, and I'm not in the mood to be forcing it in, it’s bleeding too much just gently putting it. So I am really pissed off at that.

When I was out I finally managed to get to Holland and barrettes and purchased some whey protein, it’s this one here. I got the banana flavour, because I like banana milkshake and I’m not too keen on chocolate or strawberry. They did have cookies and cream but wasn’t too sure about that one either I also got a bottle which was a fiver, wasn't really expecting it to cost that much but well. To try it I first mixed it with water but it doesn't taste nice with the water so tomorrow I’ll try it with milk and see how it tastes. It says on the back you can mix it with juice or yogurt but that should kind of disgusting.

Ok so you keep asking so I took really quick photos just there to shut you guys up while I get better ones done, the flash on my phone sucks!!! As you can probably see. You can't really see everything but you'll all just have to deal with it just now.

So I'm off to go do Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X and maybe even Yoga, I’ll see how I feel after shoulders & arms.

P90x Day 9: Ploymetrics

So I woke again today a bit later than I would have liked considering today was a cardio day, I did however still manage to do Plyometrics.

I knew that this wasn't going to get any easier and it wasn't. During some of the moves I felt like I was going to pass out or be sick, it was not good. I still can't seem to get my knees up that much, but I'm hoping to improve over time.

Well its just a quick one today, I am shattered. Today was a really busy day at work, every 3 weeks its like it. Can't wait until Friday Payday!!! Oh that reminds me, the dentist phoned while I was in the middle of plyo (I was hyperventilating practically on the phone to the poor receptionist, she must have thought something was happening to me) and my dentist is having to attend a funeral on Friday so I had to get the appointment re-arranged. So I need to wait until Monday to go now.

Well I'm away off to bed, got to repeat all of today tomorrow again I am looking forward to shoulders and arms.

For those who ask about pictures going up, they will be going up hopefully on Friday or even Thursday, I just need the time to upload them the way I want and resize them. I don't have the time for that just now but they are coming.

P90x Day 8: Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X

Ok so as you can see I just missed out day 7 because it was only stretching and also I like to keep my start of the week a Monday.

I woke up early today but still didn't seem to have enough time before work so I just watched Jeremy Kyle and drank tea all until I had to go to work. Work was long and hard, didn't have a minute to myself and went the full shift without a break. Luckily the girl on night shift came in 20 minutes early and let me have a wee cup of coffee to perk myself up. So I didn't have anything to eat all day which is really bad, but I had a good dinner when I came home.

After having my dinner and watching the start of firefly that the boyfriend recently re-got I got my exercise equipment and outfit on. Oh the company that I work for just recently got together with another company to promote each other (or something like that) and they were giving away free t-shirts so I've got myself a brand spanking new workout top wohoo!

As usually I did ab ripper x to begin with, and this time as its the start of a new week I increased the reps for each by 5. It may not seem a lot but it was for me, it was like day 1 again. However this time I really enjoyed it. For chest and back I also increased the reps for the non weighted ones, the pull-ups and push-ups. So that's me doing 10 assisted pull-ups and 10 push-ups (off of my knees, I've never liked that way just seems pointless). For the weighted ones I forgot to increase the weight of each dumbbell so I'll need to remember to do that for shoulders & arms. I feel like a weakling because for each dumbbell its only 2.5kg of weight so I feel like I should be increasing it.

I thought it would have been a lot harder doing 5 more reps, and I was right, but its what I set out to accomplish with today's workout. I'm going to slowly increase the reps then I'm going to go for the really hard modded version, like adding the arms up or raising a leg. At the end of the workout I actually had a smile on my face it was fantastic, I love P90x.

Even at work after only a week of doing it I could feel the difference in my posture when lifting things, bending over or general just walking around.

Well I'm going to go now, because I am really tired. I've got another long day ahead of me tomorrow so wish me luck!
