I'm So ADD Sometim
Hey guys
I'm back! So Curtains has come and gone! Great show and I miss everyone involved! On to Producers now, which also means ON WITH MY WORKOUT PROGRAM!
I'm so ADD sometimes....ok maybe a lot of times. It's really hard to keep my attention for long periods unless I am really focused. I know its random but I am definitely feeling it with P90X. I'm so used to the routines now since this is my 3rd try that it's really hard for me to stay focused! I need some variety because I lack motivation if I'm bored.
So, to solve some of that problem I've switched to a new ab routine and changed the order of the specific workouts. It's not much but it does help. I've completed Chest and Back/Biceps and Shoulders this week and will continue with some Kenpo tomorrow! I won't bother you with numbers since they are the same. Pics and a video in the future! Bye for now!

Day 5, a collection of the past 3 days
Hey Guys
Sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days, I'm sure you missed me haha. Curtains is proving to be an exhausting and really really really busy show.....which is good but I'm ridiculously tired. On Wednesday I took my allotted 1 day off and saw Miss Saigon. I really needed the day off because I couldn't move my body and I think that is a pretty good indication that I sure relax for one night. So I was back at work Thursday with Shoulders and Arms. I used bands for this workout and to tell you the truth, I was pretty disappointed with them. I didn't feel the same burn that I usually did with weights. Along with that, its hard gauging exactly how much weight I was lifting because it all depends of how much slack you give and how far you pull the bands. Next week, I'm going to head down to the dinky gym they have at the apartments and use their free weights. However, here is what I did
Alt Shoulder 10 Red Band
10 Red Band
In and Out Bicep 8 Red/Yellow Bands
8 Red/Yellow Bands
Two Arm Tricep Kick. 10 Red Band
10 Red Band
Deep Swimmers 10 Red Band
10 Red Band
Full Sulp 10 Red/Yellow Bands
10 Red/Yellow Bands
Chair Dips 30
30
Upright Rows 10 Red/Yellow Bands
10 Red/Yellow Bands
Static Arm Curls 10 Red/Yellow Bands
10 Red/Yellow Bands
Flip Grip Twist TK 8 Yellow Band
8 Yellow Band
Two Angle ShouldFly 10 Yellow Band
10 Yellow Band
Crouching Cohen 10 Yellow Band
10 Yellow Band
Lying Down Tricep 10 Yellow Band
10 Yellow Band
Today was supposed to be Yoga X. However, I was never much of a fan of it so I ran 1.25 miles and then wanted to workout my chest and back again. So I ended up doing half of the Chest and Back routine again as well as Ab Ripper. I think that was more worth my time. Here is what I did. My muscles were still pretty sore from Monday so my numbers were a little down but still did fine. Ab Ripper was so much easier today I definitely feel like my core is getting stronger.
Here is what I did
Push Ups
Standard 10

Wide 10

Day 2 or what I like to call "The Things I Do to Make Me Skinny"
I'm hurting. A lot. Half of it has to do with P90X, the other... half rehearsals for Curtains. My body and mind are just completely exhausted and yet I come to day 2. The things I do to make me skinny.....
Breakfast consisted of another Protein shake with skim milk and a banana. I'm finding that this low carb/ high protein diet is definitely wiping any form of energy I have. What I wouldn't give for a sugary soda and some bread...lots and lots of bread. Rehearsal again kicked my butt. Like hard core this time...something to do with dancing for 6 hours straight today. More about this in a second. Lunch was a homemade salad with tomatoes and non fat ranch dressing with some shredded low fat cheddar cheese. I forgot to add turkey and ham to this so I was a little disappointed. My snack after rehearsal consisted again of 25 almonds and then it was time to work out. Plyometrics day......kill me. Ok so back to earlier and my day full of dancing. Since I danced for 6 hours straight and since Plyo is cardio and leg work mostly (which is what I had been doing all day) I came to the conclusion that I had already had a very good workout for the day and to go as far I my body would let me in Plyo before it shut down. So I got through half of the workout before my body told me to stop or I would die. Again, no carbs suck. I have a feeling had my food intake consisted of some form of carbs, I might have been able to do more. However, this portion of P90X is to burn fat while building muscle so low carb/high protein it is.
Dinner consisted of 8oz of turkey and ham (4and4) combined in a sandwich on a whole wheat bagel with 1 1/2 oz of honey mustard as my dressing. I also had 1 cup of peas and a glass of skim milk.
I have started noticing after starting this workout, that I am consuming more and more water on a daily basis. I'm well over 8 glasses a day now because of the amount of exercising I'm doing. I'm not complaining because it is sure better than a sugary soda......I have to keep telling myself that :)
