Today marks the halfway point of the "recovery" week. I went with Core Cardio & Balance for the second time this week (along with some Ab Ripper 200). I also threw on the heart rate monitor again and was very pleased - 780 calories in about 45 minutes. The hip flexor and shoulder burnouts at the end really push me. I quite enjoy this workout and think it might find its way into the mix when I'm not doing a program. I didn't get the resistance workout in today as I had planned, but I'm going to make sure and get in at least one more this week.
I did cheat and hopped on the scale today. I was very happy with what I saw - down ten pounds from where I started four and a half weeks ago. This was an unofficial weigh in for me as the next fitness test isn't until Monday. Hopefully I can maintain that number or even better it a bit.
Shakeology recipe for the day: 1c soy milk, 1/2tsp cinnamon, 1tsp almond extract, 1tbsp almond butter with the chocolate mix. This was divine! I could seriously drink this all day and be completely happy. I'm loving the fact that so many of these recipes are this delicious and I know that starting out my day with Shakeology is assisting with the results.
I am anxiously awaiting the P90X Recovery Formula, the chocolate peanut butter protein bars, and ChaLEAN Extreme which should be arriving on Friday. I decided to take advantage of the sale/clearance pricing to give these a chance. Gotta mix it up!
