Wow, I completely forgot to post on my 45-day mark! How did that happen??
Alright, here's where I stand:
Weight: Dropping (slowly at this stage)
Endurance: Greatly improved
Strength: Rising (not as quickly as I had hoped)
(No numbers given because Ashleigh and I have agreed to keep details of my progress on the down-low until I finish to kinda make it a big surprise. I'm still keeping records and I'll post all information on my last day.)
I really don't think I'm as close to the 'final product' as I would like to be. I've been very sloppy with my eating habits lately and I know that isn't helping. I've also considered taking up an extra cardio or two during the week (Tuesday and Thursday, most likely) to help burn more calories. My only concern is my knees. They still haven't completely recovered. Perhaps I should get some Ace bandages for support.
Let's do a little recap for the past couple days.
Wednesday was Plyometrics. My increased endurance has helped me through this workout greatly. My knees don't like all the squatting and jumping, but I modify when the pain becomes too much. As always, when I finish, I always feel so accomplished. More so than even the workout days.
Speaking of workout days, Thursday was my 45-day mark and also the last day of Back and Biceps for phase 2. I pushed myself as best I could, but I never felt the 'burn' I usually did. My muscles just kinda entered this dull, numb state. I still worked until my form failed, but it just didn't feel the same. I hope I still got the benefit. Oh, and I still hate corncob pull-ups.
Today is Yoga, as per the norm. As such, I didn't do it in the morning, due to me having to go to work early (as with every Friday). However, I have an added kink; Ashleigh and I are going somewhere for the weekend and I'm taking P90X on the road. I have the discs ripped onto my laptop and I'll be doing the next three days' workouts in a new locale! Yoga, Legs and Back/ab ripper, and Kenpo. (Well, we're coming home Sunday afternoon/evening, so maybe I'll just do that one after we get back.)
I'm very glad these workouts are only an hour and I don't have to spend an entire morning at the gym.
