...And Phase 1 is complete.
Huge apology for the lack of updates. Honestly, I really didn't like the second half of Recovery Week. I was really bored with Stretch X, and Yoga X. I just haven't gotten into it yet. I'm still giving it a shot but the 90 minutes don't feel that great to me, at least.
In any case, Phase 1 is complete and I'm moving onwards with Phase 2!
Today, I did Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Man, it's been a while since a non-cardio working like that has kicked my ass so hard. I definitely got beat down hard on certain moves, one in particular being the one handed push up. I may need to pace myself better as I was going stronger on the earlier moves and not saving enough energy near the mid. Regardless, I kept through the entire session and was able to finish it successfully. I can definitely say that I'm looking forward to next week's session as I know what to expect on some of these moves and how to pace myself better. Ab ripper X was also great. I can definitely see some improvements here and there. I could do all 25 reps on certain moves and slowly getting better at ones that knock me out usually. I at least hope by the end of all 3 Phases to keep up the entire time with Ab Ripper X =).
Great workout nonetheless, it gave me hope to "Bring It" always after being a little de-motivated from the Recovery Week. I looked ahead, and the Recovery Week for Phase II is pretty similar. I may end up switching in more cardio activities such as more Core Synergetics or Plyometrics into this Phase's Recovery Week in a few weeks..
Anyway on to food: Today I decided to split up my portions. I've noticed that I would cook a good amount of food, which ends up stuffing me by the end of it. So since I was eating around 530pm, I decided to store half of the cooked food in a glass bowl in the fridge and just have it a few hours later.
I actually ate the other half about 2 hours ago, and it was delicious. Also, I was feeling full after the first 1/2 portion that I am really glad I saved the other half for later. Spacing them out seemed to be the right call as I didn't feel too overstuffed immediately after dinner. In any case, I'm going to try and do this more often!
