Day 11 Week2 - Yoga-X

Energy: Normal

Mood: Normal

Exercise:

Once again back to the Yoga-X.  Today I again could see improvements over the last week.  I could bend more and stand longer without shaking too much.  Some of the stuff still I couldn't do.. usually one of those that requires arm strength.  

After the training, I felt that I still have more energy to go run 3 miles.. but wait. it was late already so I decided to grab dinner instead.  Maybe I'll save the run for this Saturday my break day!

Nutrition:

Breakfast - Protein Shake

Snack - 32 Oz. non-fat Choco Milk

Lunch - Medium bowl beef Pho

Snack - 21g Protein bar

Dinner - Protein Drink 2 Tbls  

            - Home-made Turkey larbs

            - 1/2 cup non-fat Greek Yogurt

            - 1 cup of Non-fat chocolate milk and skim milk mixed 

Day 10 Week2 - Shoulders & Arms and Ab Ripper-X

Energy: Normal

Mood: Good

Exercise:

Definitely I could see improvements over the last week shoulders and arms.  I increased the dumbbells weight to 5 more pounds.. though it's not the weight that I wish it to be but I thought with at least 12-16 reps each I was doing pretty good.  

My Ab Ripper-X was a lot better than what I did in the previous week.  I think maybe because I just recovered from the cold too so my performance is getting better than when I had the cold.

Day 08 Week2 - Chest & Back

Exercise:

Today I'm on the week 2 and do the same exercise all over again.
I could noticeably repeat more repetitions on the Push-Ups.  However all Pull-Ups I had a hard-time trying to do them due to the right arm Golfer Elbow.  Today I also started taking Ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation on my elbow.  :D  

Well I don't remember much because I'm writing this blog on Day 11 hehe..

Day 07 - Stretch-X

Wooww I left out my blog for so long.. Although the title is Day07 but really the day I'm writing this blog is Day 11 !!!!
Yeahh I at least completed 1 week and Day 7 was supposed to be my break or Stretch-X day.  I chose to do some stretches so I don't feel too old.

Stretch-X is an hour long session and covers the whole body stretch.  Of course I didn't really have a problem with this that much except my left hamstring which all massagers I've been to gotto mention about my super-tight hamstring.

I didn't feel I burned my Calories enough so I went to the gym right after and ran for 20 minutes.  Somehow my running stamina was not as good as before.. maybe because I'd not run for a week?

My break day is pretty mellow!! :D

Breakfast - Protein Shake

Morning Snacks -  1 Cup Strawberries

Lunch - a Large bowl of Beef Pho

Afternoon Snacks - 20 Gram Protein Bar and 2 Tbls Protein drinks

Dinner - What ta hex did I eat?

Day 06 - Kenpo X

Energy: Normal, 95% Recovering from cold

Mood: Normal

Exercise:

Oh yeahh it's Aloha Friday no work till Monday yahhooo.  Just think of that and it makes me energetic all of the sudden.  I'm still recovering from the bad nasty cold that caught a few days back and almost get rid of it all.  I only cough when I laugh hard.  Another bothersome injury that I still have is the golfer elbows.   Both right and left, but my right is getting very bad now.  I could hardly push or lift anything :(

Lucky today program didn't require much of the arm strengths like push and pull ups.  Kenpo-X babyy , the most fun thing for the week or maybe even among the whole P90X exercises.  This exercise is a cardio that combines punches and kicks from Kenpo martial arts.  I used to take Muay Thai and I think it was way harder than this.  Maybe this is not the real Kenpo since it's Kenpo-X  what ta hex.. anyway I could do pretty much the whole DVD 1 hr. without resting.  I paused and replayed sometimes to make sure that I got the moves correctly.  I sweated a lot probably more than running 5 miles non-stop.  I'm already looking forward to do the Kenpo-X again soon.

Nutrition:

Breakfast - Protein Shake

Snack - 1.25 cup of nonfat-choco milk.

Lunch - Korean Chicken BBQ and boiled Mandoo with little rice from Kimchee 7 in Aiea.  This was heavy and salty for me.  

Snack - 21g Protein bar

           - 1 Tiger Milk bar

Dinner - Protein Drink 1 Scoop

            - Chicken Larb and Somtum with Cabbage from Bangkok Chef

           - 1 cup of nonfat-milk.

Day 05 - Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X

Energy: Low, Recovering from cold

Mood: Normal

Exercise:

This morning I still some fever and I thought I couldn't make it today..  But right after 10 AM I felt so much better but stilla  little bit of runny nose and cough.  I worked from home today so it gave me a little flexibility for my workout schedule.  I actually went back to try Yoga-X for the first 40 minutes and this time I could do a lot better.  Hopefully I can do at least 2x a week to build my core and flexibility.  

Legs & Back were that bad after all.  Some of the stuff that I wanted to give up, I just paused the DVD and tried to do as many rep as I could.  The biggest challenge was  the pull-ups.  I think I developed some kind of Golfer's Elbows.  Very painful on both of my inner elbow when I tried to do a pull-up.  But this wont' stop me from continuing with the exercise.

The Ab Ripper was much easier today for me too.  Everything starts to get better!
