P90X, Week 5, Day 3

Whoa, it's true what they say... You are what you eat. I went to a birthday party today and had a huge chocolate chip muffin (even after checking the nutrition level and reading that one muffin was 320 calories!!! Yikes!), then came home and had pizza. So when doing my workout, which was one of the toughest in the whole P90X series (Chest, Triceps, Shoulders AND Ab Ripper X), I felt sluggish and just like the fat and grease I had put into my body. I feel guilty for taking in all of those empty calories. I only did it because I was really hungry and I knew that I'd be exercising those calories off later. 

The Chest, Shoulders, Triceps workout was terrible. I used weights that were much too heavy, and I wasn't able to do as many reps. Two thirds of the way through the DVD, I remembered that my friend had loaned me the bands to use, so I went out to my car to get those... I used them for one exercise and still found it pretty difficult. I also have to say that I hate this workout mainly because of all the daggone pushups. I am not very good at them, and this workout includes many different types of pushups. 

I did a little better on the Ab Ripper X portion, probably because I'm used to this one by now. It is a really great workout and I can see muscles emerging from the thick layer of fat on my belly. My husband has noticed a difference in my body; he finally said something positive about it when we were 'alone together' Friday night. That may be TMI. So I know that the program is making a difference, but please tell me why my stupid scale said I gained 2 lbs since yesterday ? :(
