P90X Lean Workout Review

Woke up feeling much better this morning. I started off the day with a turkey sausage muffin (my spin off of the infamous McDonalds fat muffin). It was a whole wheat english muffin with egg white, turkey sausage, and non fat cheese. I think I may just start my own franchise!!!! It was really good!!!! I went off to work and found out I was moved to a new unit. This is a good thing because they moved me to the unit I have been trying to get on for about a month or so. So I spent today getting oriented to my new surroundings and patients. It was wonderful!!! My AM snack was a Fiber One bar. One helpful hint to everyone out there…….stay on top of your fiber. It seems to me that during the “Fat Shredder” part of the nutrition guide your um bathroom time isn’t as smooth as usual LOL. For lunch I had butternut squash raviloi with some steamed vegetables. For my PM snack I had yogurt covered raisins. This is something I never thought I would enjoy seeing as the very thought of plain raisins makes me want to vomit, but my kids have turned me on to these. They are quite good and not as fatting as say chocolate covered raisins. Once I left work it was crunch time. We had a busy night tonight and a lot needed to get done in a short amount of time. I got the kids off the bus, did their homework, threw them in the shower, did my workout, made and ate dinner and then out the door by 6 to go to a tree lighting. Needless to say, all that was hard to squeeze in there. Tonight’s workout was difficult for me. I only made it 45 mins through the whole thing. But I was able to do at least 12 reps per exercise. I think I need to get some 8lb weights because sometimes 10 is too much but 5 is too light. I have an old gymnastics injury (torn rotator cuff) that has never quite healed right. Tonight definately aggitated that one. I was careful to not do too much though. By the end my arms felt like JELL-O!!! I was sore!!!! I had about 15 min left and said “PLEASE NO MORE!!!” So I took a 45 sec strech and got into Ab Ripper. This one wasn’t too easy either. I was able to do at least half of the exercises to max reps, but the other half I had to stop in the middle. I will get better though. I am determined to BRING IT!!! I will see you guys tomorrow for Yoga X! I can’t wait, I love doing yoga!!!
