Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or bothered by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

P90X, Week 1, Day 6

Tonight's workout was a little disappointing for two reasons. One, I realized that I did the wrong workout yesterday. I did the chest, shoulders, arms workout when I should have done the back & legs workout. The chest, shoulders, and arms workout comes into the program in the 4th week. So, tonight I had to make up for the workout that I missed (Back & Legs). I was a bit tired from doing step aerobics this morning and then working all day, and the workout required resistance bands and/or a pull up bar, which I do not have. My husband has a pull up bar, but he wasn't home to help me put it up (it's one of those that hangs in the doorway). Plus, I have no idea where he keeps it. So, to be completely honest, I skipped the portions of this workout that consisted of pull ups. But I did do ALL of the legs exercises, and I did all the reps recommended and went full force. I think it's okay that I skipped the back tonight since I did burn so many calories this morning (around 600-700) and stayed well below my calorie intake throughout the day. My notes to myself today are this: Step aerobics was AWESOME this morning; way to "Bring It!" I did much better today for two reasons: 1. sports bra, and 2. I didn't eat prior to the workout, so I didn't feel as though I was going to barf from all the bouncing around! Those two things helped tremendously. I fixed a protein shake afterwards and was good to go. The step aerobics (offered at my gym) left me feeling invigorated for the rest of the day, and I was full of energy when I met with my clients. I do feel a bit guilty for not engaging 100% in P90X today; however, I will try it again once I have the correct equipment.
