Day 4 and 5

Day 4 was Yoga X. This was tough and enjoyable. I have done bikrim yoga before so I was familiar with some of the postures but it was still very difficult to get through all of them. My stomach gets in the way of me swinging my leg through from downward dog to runners pose, so if your heavier expect that. I was trying to focus on form and breathing. I really enjoyed this workout.

Day 5 was Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X. My diet was completely thrown off on Monday. It all started with getting up late and then being completely slammed at work. I was so busy that by the time I checked the time for my mid morning snack, it was lunchtime. I am doing the portion plan so I had to try to revise my eating schedule and had a hard time with it. I ended up having a shake about an hour before the workout. I think the shake coupled with the 2 cups of water I drank at the start of the workout bogged me down. I could hear the water sloshing in my stomach. This was the worst workout I have had so far. Not from the intensity or difficulty but because of how I felt. Ab Ripper X kicked my ass again. I struggled more than the previous Ab Ripper workouts because of the waterlogged feeling. But I did kick it up towards the end. I actually paused the dvd and would do a few of the exercises to catch up and then finish off with a few extra. I was even able to do the side tappers (Mason Twists) with my feet off the ground and even did a few extra! X-TREME BABY!!! WOOHOO! lol.

Haven't forgotten about the nutrition just haven't had enough time to go over it. As I said before I am doing the portion plan. I knew this would be the toughest part of this program and it definitely is, along with trying to get enough rest. More on this later.
