Operation B.A.L.E

2010, Day 2

The day began with some good progress. I lost another 1.5 lbs, so I am around 186.8lbs. The rest of the day was rough!

First, I missed out on Pylometrics BUT did it early on Day 3 (I am going to do Day 3’s exercise at night, doubling up to catchup). Pylometrics are the hardest part of P90X; trainer Tony Horton himself says so. I did the low impact variations, so as not to strain my weak left knee. Last time I tried to tackle P90X (early 2009), pylometrics left me nauseous, and I had to take huge breaks, gasping for air. This time though, I actually kept up, and felt drained but good post-workout!

As for eating, I think I pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable. I had chinese for lunch, and hot & sour soup, but made conscious effort to not getting anything with sweet sauces and not to completely eat everything. Plus dinner was homemade chicken salad.
