Fitness With P90X: (Day 32 & 33 Chest, Shoulders & Tris & YogaX)

02/11/2010 By 1 Comment

 

The past days have been pretty busy for me Tuesdays I workout and clean my house and the later my son is home from school and later that evening we prepare for his Taekwondo glass until 7:30 and we did not return home until 8:00pm. After that is bedtime for him, story time and bed. After that is all said and done then I rest or blog, however, I was so wiped out I rested instead of blogging and filmed makeup tutorials. So, with all that said and was not able to blog for the past few days. Now, I will bring you all update to date with my progress with the P90X program.

On Tuesday was a new workout for me which was Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. OMG! Push up city!! So many different ways to challenge my chest. Let me tell you my chest was on FIRE!! I was looking forward to the shoulder and the triceps workouts so bad in order to give my chest a break. Even two days later my chest is still sore, lol. The workout was 50 minutes long and I made it through 35 minutes. I tried to keep going but I was done. So, my goal for week 6 is to go through the entire workout. My meal plan was delicious and very filling. I don’t think I ate dinner that day because I was so full from lunch and my afternoon snack and I forgot to eat because I dosed off. I ended up eating a protein bar for dinner. But anyway . . .

Meal Plan for Day 32 (Tuesday)

  • Breakfast: Turkey sausage muffin ( I had to substitute because I did not make it to the store)
  • Snack: Protein Bar
  • Steak and Arugula/spinach salad (Yummy!!!)
  • Snack: string cheese
  • Dinner: Protein Bar

Here are a few Pics of my breakfast and lunch



As Far as Day 33 (Wednesday)

Wednesday was a work day so, my workout was late last night before bedtime and it was a YogaX day! So not much to explain, since this workout is becoming routine to me. How about you? Is this workout less challenging for you after the 4 weeks? My meal plan for yesterday was leftovers from my other meals because I need to do another grocery haul today. So what I ate was. . .

Meal plan:

  • Breakfast: Mushroom Omelet, strawberries and cottage cheese
  • Snack: protein bar
  • Lunch: Shrimp Stir-fry
  • Snack: Soy nuts
  • Dinner: Turkey burger and potato (yes potato was not apart of the original guide)

Of course I did not mention the water intake for both days, but I did consume 64-72 oz each day.

Today Day 34 will be a double day for me. This morning I will do Legs and Back and Ab ripper and then later tonight I will do KenpoX , so that I can stay on schedule for my rest day tomorrow. I will update later for today’s post on a new blog posting tonight. Other than that I am out for now! Chat soon :)

Fitness With P90X (Day 30 & Second Day of Nutrition Guide)

02/08/2010 By 2 Comments

 

Yesterday was an okay day for me. I missed my cardioX yesterday because I was feeling very under the weather, so I opt for a rest day then and then I will bring it the rest of week 5. However, even though it was a rest day for the workouts I did not rest on the meal plan. I ate accordingly. Yesterday called for the following:

  • Protein Shake
  • Protein Bar
  • Shrimp Stir Fry with cashews and sesame seeds
  • String Cheese
  • Chicken breast (instead of turkey) green beans and acorn squash soup with 1 tbsp of protein powder mixed in it.

Now let me tell. I was a cooking fool again especially when it came to taking the shell of the shrimp and de-veining them. Next time around I will use shrimp that was been de-veined a shelled for sure! I will just say cook ahead of time for sure. Now after cooking and eating my portion their was enough serving of the stir fry for 2-3 more people, so if you are the only person eating the meals in your family freeze it!! You will save money not having to buy the same thing over and you will save yourself some time next time when it comes to cooking. That was a plus for me, yey!!

Cooking the dinner was terribly bad. The only thing you will have to make is time to cook the squash soup and you will also need a blender or food processor to puree the soup. Now everything for the dinner taste great with the exception of the squash soup! That soup was horrible, yuck!! Since I was so many servings of the red pepper soup, which I like, I will substitute and eat that instead of the squash soup. Just an heads up. Squash soup, Ekkkk!! Don’t like it. Okay. . . I will stop talking about that. Anyway here are some pictures of the meals:

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you pictures and thoughts. Well, I better go and take care of some things will my food digests so that I can start the cardioX in a bit. Chat later. . . .

Fitness With P90X (Day 29 & First Day Of Nutrition Guide)

02/07/2010 By 1 Comment

 

Today is the beginning of week 5 and it is on! Today I did Core Synergistics and it was the first day of me creating the recipes from the P90X nutrition guide! The meal plan that I am following is the fat shredder 1 1800 calorie plan. As you saw in my previous post I went on a food haul an purchased items for my first few days of the meal plan. I will tell you now. It you are going to follow this plan you will be cooking a lot. I am not kidding. I did not finish cooking and eating my dinner until 9pm this evening, so definitely plan ahead will be key. Get everything you need for each meal, so that you do not end up making multiple trips the grocery store like me looking for arrowroot and such.

Today, I created the following:

Breakfast was yummier than expected. I was so worries about having the mushroom omlette with only egg whites, but it was delish! I also had the cottage cheese and a serving of strawberries too along with water.

My snack was the Atkins protein bar, Lunch was the chef salad according to the nutrition guide and my afternoon snack was the 2oz of soy nuts along with water of course.

Lets say dinner was a challenge. Why? I got home from work 7pm and it was time to cook this meal. And, it was a LOT of cooking. I had to get my rice, salmon and asparagus cooking along with the lemon dill sauce and the red pepper soup too. First challenge I did not have the arrowroot! So, I had to run to the grocery store I find it and it was like a needle in a haystack, for real. Luckily a kind gentle helped me locate it. There reason why this was important because it is the key ingredient that make the lemon dill sauce thicker.

So I finally returned home to cook. Once that was squared away I had to chopped lots of veggies to make the soup which by the way make 20 servings. So you will have a lot a soup for a while. Now you all are probably wondering how did everything taste. Well. . . The salmon with the sauce was delicious. I will definitely have this again. The asparagus and rice was also good!! The soup on the other hand was okay. . . It had a peppery oniony taste that was tolerable and I will eat it again! I also added 1 tablespoon of protein powder to the soup as well. So overall, everything was good today. I just will have to prepare more time and cook some meals ahead of time for sure.

I am curious to know. . . have anyone of you tried the meals in this plan? What are your thoughts? Let me know. Well until next time I will chat later :)
