Days 48-50: Rearranging Rest Days

It’s looking like my two rest days per week are going to evolve into my weekends. They’re not supposed to be back to back. But these last two weekends my workouts just haven’t happened. Weekends have been full and fun and an amazing family time. These are the reasons I’m working out to begin with; so I’ll feel good about myself and be able to enjoy time with my family. Perhaps it is fitting that I enjoy weekends and workout Mon-Fri. That being said, I could use some more foam rolling time somewhere.

Anyhow, last week I did my five P90X2 workouts Mon-Fri and it appears that I will be doing the same thing this week. Today I did Base & Back with Ab Ripper X2.

Base & Back is a great one to push limits on. And my numbers were several reps higher than last time. Love seeing the improvements in numbers.

Ab Ripper is slowly becoming more doable for me. I again used the kids’ play mat and liked that better this time. Over the weekend I noticed that my stomach is starting to get some definition when I flex it; that’s going to work as good motivation to improve my eating. I like where things are heading, but won’t see the full effect unless I’m getting the right nutrition to fuel my body.

Speaking of fuel for the body: This morning was one of those funny mornings where I woke up super tired and downed my Pre-workout E&E drink. Exhausted afterward, I chugged a post-workout R&R drink. Got ready for work and had my Tropical Shakeology with a banana for breakfast as I left the house. Probably plenty of supplements for the first two hours of my day but the awesome thing is that at no point today did I feel any need for coffee. I’d rather be feeding my body nutrients than caffeine any day.
