I am sitting here watching American Idol and trying so hard to get focues on my blog. It's been a busy 2 days, so sitting down to write my blog has not been easy. I've been putting into action my plan to add cardio to my weight training days. Yesterday was Back and Biceps. It was a Sunday and our kids were not feeling well, so I took the morning to make them a yummy breakfast and get my house straightened up. Then we went out to a local bike path where I took my bike and rode 7.5 miles and burned 300 calories. It was really fun. What I learned though was, next time I should do the biking after my P90 video. I was so wiped out. I did the Back and Bicep video well, but by the time it got to the ab workout it was all I could do to finish strong. In total I burned 695 calories. I was so spent that when I was done I just laid on the floor for a good 10 minutes and then was a little out of it for awhile. It was kind of funny. Once I had dinner I came around. I had even had a protein shake before exercising.
Today was yoga. I decided not to do anything extra. Mainly because yoga is 90 minutes, plus I think it is in keeping with the P90X plan by only doing yoga. It is one of the hardest videos to do. One, its hard to feel like I am accomplishing something while doing it because I struggle with it so much. Two, it is easy to say to myself "I'm not burning many calories doing it, so I'll just skip it" It takes the most will power to follow through and do the Yoga dvd in my opinion.
My kids are back to school this week and I have to say I'm a little glad to be back to the normal schedule. It will allow me to exercise at more consistant times and without interruption. I still can't believe I am almost through with my 6th week. Part of me is so relieved I'm halfway and part of me is scared I won't see the reults I was hoping for. Oh well, all I can do is, "Do my best and forget the rest."
