Day 2: Get that heart rate up!

Day 2, im not feeling any temptations but it still feels like I should be on day 50...psh not even close! I find myself looking at my stomach in the mirror and not seeing any results and getting bummed and then I get a quick reminder that I am only on day 2 and these things do not happen over night! Sucks I know! I am definitely sore and have a hard time walking up the stairs of my house; however, I do feel very energized and not weighed down.

This morning I had my cup of coffee before I began the Cardiovascular portion of P90x (with skim milk and splenda of course.) I started the dvd and Tony began warming up with YOGA!!! My thoughts are: Never done yoga before, but piece of cake just some fancy stretch- like moves... right? right? WRONG! This was the hardest part of the whole workout for me, it was fast paced and i felt like it was never going to end... but I endured it and cant wait until it will be super easy for me! The rest of the dvd was awesome and I worked up a good sweat. After P90x, I went running and did it for 30 minutes, since the dvd was 45 minutes long I thought 30 minutes was really all that was needed. I felt great and rejuvenated when I got home, but was really feeling those X-squats!

For lunch, I had a small bowl of chili and 2 pretzels with lots of water. I felt satisfied after the meal surprisingly because honestly, it was a SMALL bowl of chili and I didnt think it was going to satisfy me because my stomach has not shrunk yet. But I ate slow and was content at the end... praise God! I did get hungry 3 hours later which is completely normal...for a snack I had a handful of raw almonds(about 12). For supper, I had 1/2 boneless skinless chicken breast (about 3.5 oz) marinated the same as last night , 1/2 sweet potato ( i chop it up with skin on since most of the vitamins are in the skin and mix in skim milk, a drop of butter extract, cinnamon, a pinch of splenda brown sugar, and a sprinkle of nutmeg) delicious, try it!, and some Brussels sprouts. Note: I have never had brussels sprouts before but they looked interesting so i thought i'd dive in. Verdict: I used the steam-in-bag frozen so I dont know if they are suppose to taste different but they reminded me of very mushy broccoli so I only ate like 5 of them but I will eat the rest in the next few days! blah! I got home at 11:00 from work so it was time for a snack. I had some Siggi's Skyr Yogurt in Pomegranate Passion fruit flavor and mixed in less than a 1/4 cup of grape nuts.

I am very tired and love how easy I fall asleep! After this my head is hitting that pillow! I missed being able to fall asleep easy when you work out...motivation #2! Goodnight everyone! Day 3 begins tomorrow, Yoga time, scary! I know!

P.S. I've decided that I am going to learn the Single Ladies dance by Beyonce. In fact I imagine myself doing it when im running another great idea by Danni... I caught myself doing a move or two and using my hips big time... I wonder what the drivers on Camellia think about this... probably the same thing my audience that witnessed my talk rapping thought...haha I suck at life!
