P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Days 66 and 67 - Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X and Power Kata

Good morning! Had a good past few days, yesterday I did Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X, and this morning's workout was Power Kata. This morning I also got on the scale and found that I gained 3 1/2 pounds - I was right at 120. I'm not surprised, considering some of the things that Kevin and I ate this week. I need to work on getting that back down.  Tomorrow's workout will be Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X, and Sunday will be Live Ultimate Warrior's workout. I'm also thinking of maybe doing an extra short workout tomorrow or Sunday if have the time - maybe something like Power HIIT or Kickstart.

Next week my workout schedule changes up again - it looks like this:

Monday - Rest Day
Tuesday - Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X
Wednesday - Extreme Cardio Fighter
Thursday - Shoulders and Arms & Ab Ripper X
Friday - Power Kata
Saturday - Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X
Sunday - Ultimate Warrior's Workout

That's it for today,  hope everyone has a great Friday!

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Days 63-65

Good morning! Sorry for the lack of presence, but the last few days have been busy for me. Monday was my rest day - and this time I actually did rest, didn't even do a stretching workout.  Yesterday's workout was Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and Ab Ripper X, which went well as usual, and this morning was Extreme Cardio Fighter - that went well (at least the part that I did went well) but ended up being short because I think I had a partial seizure during it - one minute I was working out, the next thing I knew it was only 7:30 and I was done already, which I knew wasn't right. I have those every so often, but I usually don't think much of them.

Today I also decided to try something different, I set up a high-contrast black theme on Google Chrome to see if that helps keep my eyes from getting too tired - for those of you who spend a lot of time in front of your computers, I'd recommend doing the same thing. It makes your screen look weird - any pictures you look at will kind of look like x-rays - but so far it really does seem to be helping my eyes. The theme I'm using on Google Chrome is from Hacker Vision - if you use Google Chrome I'd recommend checking it out. The one thing I like is that you can switch back and forth between the high contrast theme and a regular theme, if there are sites you'd rather look at normally.

That's it for now, hope everyone has a great day!

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Days 61 and 62 - Legs and Back/Ab Ripper X and Ultimate Warrior's Workout

Good morning! The last few days have been good days as far as my workouts are concerned - yesterday I did Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X - had a bit of a hard time getting through Ab Ripper X, at least the Fifer Scissors exercise, but I made it through it. Had a good workout from Ultimate Warrior's workout, as usual.

Yesterday Kevin and I went to Golden Corral for brunch, and I ate way too much, as usual - I ate so much that I didn't have to eat a whole lot the rest of the day. I really need to work on controlling myself when we go there and finding lower calorie, lower fat things to eat.

That's it for today, I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Les Mills Combat/P90x Hybrid Workout Days 59 & 60 - Shoulders and Arms and Power Kata

Good morning! I've had some good workouts the past few days - yesterday's workout was Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X, which I got a great workout from as usual. Today I did Power Kata and got a great workout from that also. I also weighed myself this morning and found that I gained half a pound.  I'm not going to sweat it though, it's only half a pound.

I also think I'm going to start making meditation part of my daily routine again. I've been working on an eBook project this week about meditation for a new client on Upwork, and I've found a lot of interesting information about it. I actually did a short guided meditation this morning on YouTube before I worked out, and I felt great afterwards. So I'm hoping I can start making it part of my routine again so I can start feeling better on a regular basis.

Not sure what I'll do this weekend, I know a lot of the time is going to be spent working on this eBook so I can get it back to my client. I'm also hoping to get some time in doing stuff with my husband, but we'll see. Hope everyone has a great week!

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Day 58 - Extreme Cardio Fighter

Good morning! This morning's workout was Extreme Cardio Fighter, which felt great.

I've also been thinking more about the YouTube video I shared in my post yesterday, "Do You Wash Your Fruits and Vegetables Before You Eat Them." I personally don't was most of my fruits and vegetables before I eat them, because I usually buy stuff that's either frozen or pre-washed and cut up already, like baby carrots and bagged salads. Now if I had my own garden, like the guy who did this YouTube video and a lot of the people that he talked to do, I might rinse my fruits and vegetables off if I saw dirt or bugs on them.

That's it for today, hope everyone has a great day!

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Day 57 - Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X and Do you Wash Your Fruits and Vegetables Before You Eat Them?

Good morning! I had a good workout this morning, I did Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X. I love Chest and Back, it's a bit different from Chest, Shoulders and Triceps because it's all (or mostly) push and pull exercises. I  like to use my stability ball for the decline push-ups and back flies.

I've also been transcribing a YouTube video on a kind of interesting subject - do you wash your fruits and vegetables before you eat them? I personally have always washed things like apples and any other fruits or vegetables that I have to bag myself, but some of the bagged vegetables like my baby carrots and salads I never wash. However the people in this YouTube video had different views on the subject. Check it out:




That's it for this post, hope everyone has a great day!

P90x/Les Mills Combat Hybrid Workout Days 54-56

Good morning! Sorry it has been so long since I wrote, this weekend has been very busy for me. My last few workouts have been good ones, on Saturday I did X Stretch, which I love - it gives me a great stretch, and yesterday I did Les Mills Combat Extreme Cardio fighter, which I got a great cardio workout from. This morning was supposed to be a rest day, but I decided to do a 45 minute indoor walking workout. Got a great workout from it, and got a lot of steps in.

That's it for now, hope everyone has a great day!
