P90X Week 2 Day 4

Just completed day 4.

Exercise:
Really starting to feel my muscles tightening up/getting firm. Don't quite feel like an athlete, but starting to feel like I am getting in better shape. It is definitely easier to bend down, pick things up, get out of the car, etc. I had no idea that it was hard for me to do certain things now that I see it is really easier, like crouching down to get something in the bottom shelf of the fridge or carry the laundry. These are tasks that I would have to do anyway, so why not be able to do it easier! I also noticed that I am less out of breath going up the stairs! And I am not even done with week two! I look forward to more fat loss and more muscle tone. I really like plyometrics and how much fun it can be. I really enjoy feeling my muscles work doing arms, back, legs, abs. The variety in the workouts make it fun too.

Diet:
I am getting used to the food. Starting to get into a groove with preping meals the night before. It was so nice yesterday and today to have sauces and drrssings and soups done and meals ready to go. I have been giving myself more room to substitute and even experiment with playing with the recipes a little. I actually look forward to veggies with dinner. Breakfast is always exciting, but part of that is that is my favorite meal of the day; it's just now breakfast is more exciting to make.

Thank you P90X for the guidance, structure, and plan that I needed to make these changes in my life. And I thank myself for a willingness to learn and patience (not always, hee hee) to get through the growing pains and make new healthy habits for myself. Gotta keep going...
