Day seventeen out of ninety [17/90]

What a great day. Week 3 has been fantastic on me so far. While the first two weeks were brutal, I can definitely say that I'm noticing a change in the third week. For instance, I am able to go harder and longer on the workouts in comparison. Today's workout (Shoulders & Arms), I was wasted by the end when I first did it in Week 1 and didn't do the "bonus" round. This time, I pushed through and still had a lot of energy left in me. Also, it was great because I am able to do a lot of the workouts cleaner and with better form. So far, so good on P90x. Really happy about that.

Yesterday's workout was solid as well. Plyo is a killer cardio exercise and I am really liking it. It was the first day when I reached a "workout zen". Near the middle of the workout, I was just following Tony & his crew on TV and just pushing myself hard without even thinking about how difficult it is or how tired I was. It's quite a rush of a feeling and makes the time melt way.

I've been eating well too. I won't post what I've been eating for dinner as it is the same stuff as my last post. Finished the bag of asparagus risotto (lasted me 3 dinners!), and getting some good sources of protein from the chicken and soy meatballs. I'm excited to end this week because it's recovery week coming up and I've never actually been that far in the P90x workout program before.

I'm definitely pumped to see if there's noticeable changes at the end of Phase 2 =).

Caloric count for yesterday (1/25): 920cal, 98.9g protein
Caloric count for today (1/26): 1614cal, 167g protein
