Making up for missed workouts

As you can tell by this myfitnesspal graph two days of Christmas celebration can set you back a few days. It was a great Christmas so I am not going to lose any sleep over gaining a few pounds. I know I will easily take these back off over the next few days. There is still a lot of Christmas baking hanging around the house so some disciple will be in order. Tonight is supposed to be Insanity Core cardio. I didn't workout the 24 or 25th because we had a lot of company over. I might try to get an extra workout in to make up for two lost days. We will see how my energy is after the first workout.

Core Synergistics

I am on week 4 of the P90x -Insanity hybrid, which is a recovery week- or an easy week. The last Insanity workout was pretty low intensity compared to the rest of the Insanity workouts. Tonight was P90x core synergistics. I was expecting this to be easy, but it was a little more challenging than I expected. I burned 460 calories in a 58 minute workout. Most of the workouts with a little more cardio I burn a few more calories -but this one did do the trick. I am not so solid on the core work-so I was sweating. Anyway the goal this week is to try to get in some workouts done to stave off the Christmas weight gain.

So about 8 months ago we go on this trip to Mexico. I couldn't believe the photos of myself on the beach or by the pool now I have been working out for years, never too impressed with the results but before this trip I had let myself go. I decided I never wanted to look like this again. I was doing a little bit of running so I decided to add a little p90x to the mix. We booked another vacation in Los Cabos and I was determined to look better on the beach. Exactly 7 months later I stepped on the plane 35 pounds lighter. I was pretty happy with the results but it made me think if I could do this- how good of shape could I get into I am just starting week 4 of a P90x -Insanity hybrid. It is kicking my butt but I am getting I great shape. Maybe after two 90 day rounds it will be time to schedule another Mexico trip.
