p90x Week 9; Yoga X and cheatin on the diet :(

Yoga day.  I love yoga, but put out the ‘I’m-too-cool-for-this-yoga-shit-so-don’t-stare-at-me-while-I-do-the-downward-dog’ attitude so people don’t think I’m some sorta pansy.  Deep down I know that most of the people who do yoga could bend and flip their way to kicking my ass.

I cheated royally on my diet today.  I work two days a week at a business conference in the city.  Our little team lost a member today so we all went out to lunch.  This guy who is leaving picked Bucca Di Beppo, Italian family style food.  I forced to chose between lasagna and chicken parmasean.  How do you spell parmagsan?  Anyway, I had too much cheese and too many carbs for lunch.

I’m going to train tonight.  Muay thai is a killer work out.  I have a bruise the size of cantelope on my left but cheek.  Hurts like hell every time I have to lay on my side.

Week 9: Killing it with Plyox and Muay Thai

One of my main motivations in doing P90x was to get back into shape so that I can fight in the local mma show here in Salt Lake City.  P90x has given me that opportunity.   P90x is a killer workout  but now that I’m  nearing fight shape I have started incorporating  fight training to my workout regimen.

When do I sleep you ask?  I don’t.  I get to bed about 1a.m. and my son wakes up to eat breakfast about 6 a.m..  So I’m a five hour a night kinda guy.

Muay Thai is such a fun work out, and a killer striking art.  I’m going to mess someone up with an elbow, I’m excited about the blood.

Today I ate two vegan sausage patties on a peice of wheat toast  for breakfast and you know I washed it down with a drink mix of protein powder and water….. so un-tasty.  For a snack I had another Protein/water mix and a protein bar.  For lunch I’m eating a salad with field greens, carots, turkey and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  String cheese is sooooo good.

I’m having a snack of 1oz. of plain almonds in a bit and for dinner I’m going to surprise my wife and make some shrimp stir fry.

Tonight I’m doing the back and bicep/ab ripper x work out.  This is the dvd that makes me feel “buff”.  I like to work out my biceps, but my abs are more fun now.  I toyed with the idea of doing the ab  ripper x two times back to back on the appropriate days.  I’m going to try it tonight.  I might not be able to stand up, but if you see me laying on the ground, I’ll be the one with the six pack.

P90x Week 9 Day 1, Chest and Back – ab ripper x – 1 mile jog

For some reason I felt ambitious this morning.  I woke up, got ready and started intensely on disc 1 Chest and Back.  I was rockin it too.  In my record book I looked at what my goals and results were from weeks 1 through 3.  I was doing 20 standard pushups, today I did 35.  I was doing 10 pullups, today I did 18.  I was killing it……

Then I puked.

About halfway through the workout I tossed my proverbial cookies.  I have been battling a little bit of sickness for a while now, but have not yet thrown up while working out.  Like a champ I put in a peice of gum and kept at it.  Then puked again.

Then I got a second wave of adrenaline or energy.  I finished my work out with fire.  The dive bombers were as unpleasant as I remembered.  It has been six weeks since I’ve done them and I wasn’t looking forward to them.  They remind me of how bad at yoga I am.  My shoulders are on fire after about twelve dive bombers. If I happen to look at the tv while doing it I always see Moraine (sorry for the mis-spelling) doing her dive bombers with her fine ass up in the air and I get distracted.

After finishing the dvd, I took a quick one mile jog.  I would say it was just under seven minutes.  Good to get outside and run again.  I hate, let me repeat that, I hate running on the treadmill.  I’d rather get fat over the winter than run on a treadmill.

When I got back from the jog I finished my work out with the ab ripper x dvd.  I love that thing.  The fiefer sissors are getting easier but still make me feel like I’m a little boy getting beat on by a step father. 

I haven’t eaten anything yet today and it is just after ten a.m..  I had my creatine drink this morning, but I’m sure I threw all of it up.  I also had my recovery drink…… “Oh thank heaven, for the p90x recovery drink”

One more week on the fat shredder diet and I should be in good shape.
