Extension

I am back into the swing of things again. . . . well kind of.
I started my arms workout today and I had to stop halfway though because I am still weak from being sick.  I figure that I will just have to do this workout in 2 stages today and be happy with that.  I WILL get it done though!
I have taken a look at my calendar and I am in week 3 of my p90x routine, and I have decided to extend this by 2 more weeks.  I just feel that with my being sick and Otto not having installed the chin-up bar that I haven't been able to maximize my workouts yet, so the decision has been made.  I have been making progress, and I am happy with that, and I would like to make even MORE progress!
So. . . .  p90x in 104 days!

BRING IT!!

After my weekend away and being sick on Monday and Tuesday, I worked out extra hard today!!!  It felt so good!!!  I LOVE working out my arms and shoulders!!!!  I am not as strong as I used to be. . . . I used mostly 8lb and 12lb weights, but I know that I will get back to my usual 25 and 35 lbs soon if I just stick to it!!!
Man I feel great!!!  I think I just sweated the rest of my sickness right out of me!!!  But, I kind of smell like I did a major workout, so I had better hit the showers before I head into work!
YAY for being back!!!

Guns

Today was arms day with a little ab action for dessert.  While doing the exercises I realized that I need bigger weights because I actually have quite a lot of strength in my arms.  I LOVE working out my arms because I used to have so much working on them in high school and university!  I love feeling strong and having big guns!  I know that it is unusual for women to try and bulk up, but I really like having strong looking arms, so I think I am going to bulk up my guns again and then if the kids misbehave I will have something to threaten them with! (just kidding)
We have been borrowing my mother's weights while she is in Australia, but I think that it is now time for us to fork over some cash and get some weights of our own.  That will mean that my next purchase will be weights. . . . . you know, just when I thought I had everything that I needed, it turns out that I still need more items!  Oh well. . . . at least it seems to be working!
I do have a question for you pros out there. . . . . have any of you ever done the nutrition plan along with p90x?  I have been trying out their meal plan and I am finding that they want me to eat WAY more food than I am used to eating.  I can't even eat it all.  I get too full too early.  I was wondering if maybe it was made for Americans whose portions are WAY bigger than our own.  What do you guys think?
Last year I went to a health and nutrition clinic which helped me lose 20 lbs and they showed me what my portions are supposed to be and so I am thinking that maybe I will go back to eating on that plan and working out with the p90x program and see what happens.  What have you guys found works for you?
I am curious to know!
