Great week of training!!

This past week I have to say I've made some serious mental and physical gains! For one, becoming a Team BeachBody coach has really pushed me to put forth just that much more effort in every single workout. Bring it to a whole new level that even I didn't think was possible! And so, this past week, I pushed play AND managed to get in quite a few miles of running! Here's a recap....

Monday: 6 mile morning run, Chest and Triceps (push to the ULTIMATE extreme), & AB Ripper X
Tuesday: 6 mile run
Wednesday: Shoulders and Arms (Pull baby PULL) & Ab Ripper X
Thursday: Yoga X
Friday: 3 mile run
Saturday: 6 mile run
Sunday: 7 mile run

For those keeping score, that's a total of 28 miles of running (just under 5 hours of cardio) and 3 hours and 45 minutes of P90X! Total of almost 9 hours of fat shredding, calorie burning workouts! And I'm excited to say that this is only the beginning of great things to come!!!! And as for the P90X workouts. I really enjoy going back and looking over the workout sheets. To see how far I've really come. To see that I started out with 15 pound dumbells for curls, and to see me now doing curls using 30 pound weights is AMAZING. In fact, my goal for next weeks Biceps workout.....Start the strip set with 30 pound dumbells! Think about it....that's DOUBLING your load in just 90 days! Mind blowing if you ask me. And here's the kicker. I'm starting to notice something.......Under that layer of what used to be fat around my belly.....THERE'S ACTUALLY ABS UNDER THERE!!! Just a few weeks ago I tweet'd that I didn't know if I would ever LOVE AB Ripper X. Well....I'm getting closer and closer to actually loving it as my second 90 days comes to a close. I wanted to get some pictures taken yesterday, but life passed me by, and to be honest I just wasn't feeling it. My run yesterday was pretty tough. 4.5 miles into it, I started having acid reflux issues and wicked bad heartburn! New coffee pre-run, way too acidic. But, after this mornings recovery run, I feel great, and I will get them taken either tonight or tomorrow.

Speaking of this mornings recovery run, I already have 6 miles in the books. When I get home, I'm going to bust out Chest and Shoulders. It's push pull week, so there should be a whole lot of muscle confusion goodness going on!
