Yesterday was Super Bowl and of course I had a cheat day. Technically it was only a cheat meal, I ate a little bit too much during the game. Of course my stomach let me know. I was bloated all night and not very happy. It is funny how my body now rejects a lot of the things I used to enjoy. So much so that I don’t enjoy eating them at all.

Back and Biceps

Still feeling the effects of a big meal the night before, I was not 100% for my workout today. I pushed it hard and managed to match all my previous numbers from last week. However, I had to postpone ARX till this evening. I got about 2 minutes in and had to press Pause. I would rather let this food digest and get a solid ab workout in.

Doubling Up

With only a few weeks left in my work’s weight loss challenge, I decided to start doing the Doubles routine. It is basically Cardio on the same day as your resistance workouts. I will do my normal resistance in the morning and then Cardio at night. I am looking forward to this and shedding some extra weight. After last night I have a little extra to shed.

It’s a new phase of P90X and there is a new burn. Back and Biceps today felt like ALL biceps with some back.  I upgraded my curl weights to 25 lbs and for lawnmowers I use a 50 lb weight. The new weights combined with a new workout made for a new kind of burn. My arms were very tight during the workout, but I was happy with the burn and I am feeling the results.

I was running late today so I had to do ARX after work. It was the first time I split the ARX up from the rest of the routine and I was not thrilled about the process. When the two are back to back, it is so much easier to keep pushing myself for just 20 more minutes. Instead, I didn’t really get warmed up until half way through.

Tomorrow I am meeting with a nutritionist to review my P90X diet and overall health. I will be sure to post any good tips i pickup.
