P90X: Day 9
Day 9:
I had to do some grocery shopping and ending up coming home late. Went directly into the routine and finished strong. I don't like starting late, but I had to do normal household things. I tend to fixate on working out, as if it's the main event of my day. If I did it in the morning, it would be less stressful I think. I don't look forward to it per se, but maybe I'm curious on how well/poorly I'll do.
I drank a new recovery drink that came in from GNC today. Like all recovery drinks, it doesn't taste THAT good. All of them have this small hint of the smell of rotten eggs, which quickly gets covered by the sweet sugar taste. Am I the only one who noticed this? I'm sure it's the protein stuff they put it in.
Ate a bunch of chicken and some salad for dinner. I thought I would be hungry, but I wasn't. I'm getting used to not have carbs in my diet. But I still feel my mental capacity isn't very high, maybe only 70% of what it would be with carbs. But the trade off is that I never have food comas which was a common occurrence after lunch.
Since I work out at night, I'm starting to slack on other things. I need to make sure I have enough time for guitar practice, cleaning the house, talking to people etc. I'm starting to feel the time crunch again. Before I had little time to do anything so I stressed about it a little. Then I was able to get my timing down to a science. With the addition of a new activity (working out) I need to move some things around so I can do everything I want and need to do.
Well these blog posts aren't meant to delve into my personal life, thoughts and feelings (don't like doing that hence the reason why I don't use LJ) so I'll leave it at that.
Day 9, let's go!
