Day 4 - Cardio Recovery


We had our first real snow today

It was my first time trying to be more domestic, so after reading somebody's Facebook post about going out and broom their trees, I bundled up, went on my quest of saving my tired trees from last night's snow. Looking back now, I should have left them alone, since most of the snow melt off of the trees by 4pm, and if I didn't try to rescue them earlier, that one big branch might still be there nice and safe (yes, I broke a big branch, hurrrrr). I really should go back to work.

Compare to yesterday's Cardio power resistance, cardio recovery was piece of cake today. I didn't even break a sweat - partially because it was kinda cold in the garage, partially because Shune T is more civilized today. I am not looking forward for the plyometrics tomorrow, but it also would mark my near completion of my first week. I am excited. 

Breakfast: oatmeal with goji(wolfberry), nuts, egg, raisin
Lunch: vegetable sea food soup with brown rice
snack: mix nuts and craisin
Dinner: Cauliflower and small piece of steak, if I can get it thawed out on time

Day 2 - Plyometrics

If Shaun T says it one more time that my muscle is nice and warm, I am going to punch him! They are mush and shaky. I can't lift my legs, I can't lift my arms, I can't lift my fingers. I can't keep my abs tight, because I can't breath!

But I finished my day 2 of week 1!

Breakfast: 3 bananas, slice of pine apple, 1 orange
Lunch: romain heart lettuce, tomato, cucumber, celery
snack: handful of almond with raisins
Dinner: fish, brown rice, steamed zucchini

Insanity Round 2

Seriously, it's been 10 months since we finished our P90X. We never started the hybrid as we wanted after Christmas. I want to see how much I would be out of shape if I don't work out at all. I guess. My weight never changed much, as of yesterday, I am at 123.5 lb, 20% body fat, 28 3/4 waist and 34-36 hip (depends on where I measure, I guess, I am going to check on the fit2fat2fit to see how Drew measures). To be honest with you, I went to shopping with Jammer on Friday, we were in the fitting room to try on some swim suit ... now you know why I am so gone whole to start the workout :-( Not only that, without working out, as much I felt that I have been very disciplined about diet, what seemed harmless little out of line on food really take a toll on me. When I am working out hard, I would not crave for any gross food, now it is a effort not eating hot dogs! HOT DOGS, can you believe it?  ... and  soda!

I did my fit test today:
1. Switch kick: 43
2. Power squad: 43
3. Power knee: 90 (right)
4. Power jump: 24
5. Jump rotation: 6 rotations
6. Suicide jump: 12
7. Push-up jacks: 16 (I totally did it wrong)
8. Low plank oblique: 21 (my elbow hurts)

Breakfast:
honey dew, banana spinach shake
Lunch: salad + 1 songhua egg
snack: 1/2 can coconut H2O + 1/2 protein bar
Dinner: tofu cabbage soup brown rice
