Day 16: Plyo : Will this EVER get easier?

07Apr08

Did Ab Ripper X last night around 9. Once again I felt alot better and stronger doing it in the evening. I might have to suck it up and do this one at night instead of tacking it on to the end of a workout. Hell it’s only 15 minutes.

Now for Plyo.

I took like three breaks, (I tried not to take beaks until THEY took breaks - I did extend my break time though), my heart rate soared, I was sweating buckets, and although I managed to make it through to the bonus round (unlike last time) I was just completely wasted after it was all over (like last time).  I literally got back into bed for like a half hour AND I took the bus to work instead of the train so I could get in like another 30 minute nap.

So that’s why I decided to suck it up and ordered the recovery drink. I figure it’s worth a shot so I don’t start my days like this. I suppose I could add more carbs to my diet, but I really am liking the results with what I’m doing eating-wise, so I’m gonna stick out this low carb/high protein thing until I start the second phase. Besides, knowing what I’ve heard about BeachBody and slow delivery times, I probably won’t get the recovery drink until I start the second phase anyway.

In the meantime I’m back on my grind with eating, planned out everything I will be eating today. I’ll end up being a little over 1600, but not by much, maybe a hundred calories. Since I was under yesterday I figure this balances everything out.

If I’m not mistaken, I won’t see Plyo again until Phase 2. Can’t say I’m sorry to see this one go… Okay maybe a little sad. Hopefully next time it pops up again I’ll be better able to keep up.
