P90X Round 2 Days 2-4

Slacking on the updates! Work has been crazy busy and my time that I used to blog, late at night, has been filled with work.

I've got in all of the workouts so far this week. Day two I substituted Cardio X for Plyometrics as I started a Fit Club every other Tuesday night. I don't want to kill anybody that wants to test out the program and Cardio X is the perfect introduction as it includes pieces from different routines.

Shoulders & Arms was day three. If you've been reading the blog you know that I love this workout! I mixed it in quite a few times on top of Insanity workouts. This week was by far my best go at this routine. I was able to do higher reps with heavier weight than in the past. Definitely a sign of getting stronger. The only bad thing was my left shoulder felt like it popped out of place and I had to pause for a few minutes to stretch it out until it felt right again. Luckily some stretching fixed it and I haven't felt any discomfort since.

Today was Yoga X, along with Ab Ripper X as I didn't have time for it on day 3. I have lost some serious flexibility in the last few months and have a lot of catch up to do on Yoga. It felt like I had never done the routine before. I don't think an audience helps much either. But I do have to say that this is my favorite workout of the program and I look forward to getting back to where I was at the end of Round 1.

I've stayed strong and fought to catch back up with my push ups for the month of March. As of tonight I am at 2709 and only 28 behind pace. I should be able to catch that up and get back ahead of schedule by the weekend.

I was able to get a sneak peek of Insanity: The Asylum today and am very excited at what that program is going to bring. I can't wait to give it a shot in the Summer to see how far I've come and want to push myself to the limit. I'm pretty sure The Asylum will do it!

Shakeology is still the only way that I start my morning. I'm pretty much stuck on this recipe:

1c water
1 banana
1 scoop chocolate whey protein
2tbsp peanut butter
1tbsp honey
1 scoop chocolate Shakeology
Ice and cinnamon to taste

If I'm missing one of the ingredients I go without, but haven't done much variation and don't anticipate changing it up any time soon. For anybody still reading this, shoot me an email or leave a comment and I'll let you know how you can get a free single serving of Shakeology.
