Day 11 of P90X Did Yoga now to do Turbo Jam - Need a new eating game plan

Man this is tough eating by the P90X Nutrition plan. I was doing fine and losing weight before with calorie counting, but I find myself not tracking and gaining weight and over eating with this Plan. I know that it is crucial to follow the P90X plain while doing the program to get the best results, but I honestly thing I'm going back to tracking on Sparkpeople. Plus I haven't been on SP in a while and it's cause I haven't been tracking. So I think I'm just going to eat the way I was before with Sparkpeople but just increase my calorie intake by 200- 300 calories so I'm eating around 1800 calories.

So I've been over eating yesterday and today. I did Turbo Jam yesterday to burn the excess calories. I think that I'm going to do the same right after this blog. I'm going to do the Cardio Party that is 45 mins long. I might even use the weighted gloves to burn more. So yea everyone that is the deal.

Day 6 of P90X Kenpo later tonight

I haven't done Kenpo yet cause my morning is busy and I don't have time for it quite yet. I'm going to my niece's birthday party at the Y and they are having it at the pool. This is great cause I can take my daughter swimming with me and I can get some added resistance/cardio training in the pool. I'm going to have too look up workouts I can do in a swimming pool so I can get some exercise in. So I'm not sure when the last time I wrote was so I will just update on my week so far, sorry if it is a repeat.

So I did yoga on Thursday I believe and that was fun. The hardest part for me was the half moon and twisting moon which is a move where you have to lift you arm and leg at the same time. Crazy right? I know it's just my first week though and my balance and coordination aren't the best to start off with. The next day though my back was sore I figure it's from all the salutations. I didn't expect to get sore from it but it was a nice little surprise. Yesterday I did Legs and Back and Ooo I feel it today. My glutes are sore and my back is feeling it as well. I'm not using the pull up bar nor did I get it because I have no room for it. So I got a door anchor on ebay for 3 bucks (free shipping) and used my Gold's Gym Resistance Tubing. I didn't think I would have gotten a great workout because it seemed a bit easy, but today proved me wrong. I first thought of stepping up the resistance on the tubings, but know I don't think that is necessary.

So like I said earlier tonight I'm doing Kenpo X so I'll try to remember to post an update. I just hope I won't be so tired I don't blog. So I have to go wash my hair now and get ready. Take care everyone. Also if you are interested in getting P90X please visit my site at http://www.beachbodycoach.com/jenndelgado

Day 2 of P90x Plyometrics

This workout kicked my butt. I finished drenched in sweat. It was far from being cute. If you don't know what Plyometrics is, it's jump training. It's explosive movements where you have to jump A LOT. It was tough but I hung in there. I did like a good 85% percent of the workout. And that doesn't mean I didn't give it my all, just means I took extended breaks, modified my movements, and if I couldn't modify I still moved around (cause some movement is better than no movement). Even in Basic Training I have never had that GREAT of a workout in my life at all. It was good.

Day one of P90X

I know I didn't finish my Clx program but during my two weeks of recovering my arm injury I decided to start P90X. I have been seeing all of those crazy success stories on Youtube for it and I keep telling myself that I want to be that success story. So I did Chest & Back today and it wasn't so tough but I know I'm a feel it tomorrow. So far my eating is on point today, but I think I have a slight headache due to a lack of carbs. So tomorrow is Plyometrics and I'm afraid of it, esp since it's all explosive movements and I hate burpees. That's okay I gotta take it a day at a time and just BRING IT!!! ><

I walked 5 Miles with Walk Away the Pounds

So yea I'm not doing Chalean at the moment because I pulled a muscle in my left shoulder. I decided to do my WATP DvDs instead. I figure I don't want to fall out of the habit of not working out so I'm doing this instead. I had to really force myself cause I haven't worked out in about 3-4 days, and you know how hard it is to get back into it after a few days of stopping. You don't really feel like jumping back in. Well I didn't either but I knew I needed too. I'm afraid of not working out and then not watching my eating either. My eating hasn't been great either. I've been eating within my calorie range but I keep sticking my hands in the the plastic pumpkin baskets if you know what I mean.

So while doing the workouts I tried limiting my arm movement and making them shorter. At the end though I just stopped moving my arms cause I could feel it starting to affect my shoulder. Anyways I got a good workout except my HR monitor said I burned like 900 calories. That can't be right you know cause that's like A LOT but I tracked it in my fitness tracker under "High Impact Aerobics" and it calculated a little under 500 cals which seems about right. Anywho I need to shower and head to bed. I feel so great pumping out that workout. Feel accomplished.

I'm injured and Doctor said to rest my arm. Taking a break from CLX

So I went to the doctors and I sprained my left shoulder. So she told me to rest, I asked her if I should just lift lighter and she said to rest. So I am going to rest and resume my workout after the 2 weeks. So I figure since this was suppose to be my last week of CLX I'm going to start Lean phase after my 2 weeks break. I just would hate to have to start ALL over again you know. So I think I might do my walking DVDs and get in some calorie burn. I'm still watching my food so that is good. So I'm just disappointed cause I was getting some muscle building and toning going on. My boyfriend doesn't want me to do my WATP dvds unless my Dr. okays it. I don't think walking is going to aggrevate it but he says the repetitive swinging motion might. I am just waiting for the Dr. to call to okay it. So here we go....
