This week is our recovery week and that means that we are just doing some of the fun or easier workouts from P90X. So far we've had Yoga, Core and Kenpo. We have also run out of Results and Recovery and I foolishly did one of the workouts on an empty stomach. This has not been my strongest week.
We ran out of Results and Recovery and have more on Home Direct (automatic delivery with free shipping) but have to wait for it to arrive. In the mean time, for the first time since I started P90X, I have been sore after our workouts. I have also noticed that I haven't been feeling quite as great after our workouts, either. The only thing that has really changed is the fact that we ran out of our recovery drink! I am amazed at the effect that has had on my recovery. I have kept to the same diet, and have not changed my water intake or anything else. All I can say is, Results and Recovery works and I can't wait to get my new tub of it in! Hopefully it will come in before next Tuesday when we start Phase 2.
The other mistake that I made was huge. Yesterday I did Core Synergistics on a completely empty stomach because I "needed to get it done" right then. I really did. We had to leave early to go on a pre-school field trip and I needed to finish before we left. I also was lazy and slept an extra half hour so I kind of sabotaged myself.
Core is a hard workout anyways, but about half way through I realized that I was HUNGRY and that I wanted to throw up simultaneously. These two issues together can make it very hard to focus on your workout. As a result, I had to take a few more breaks, wasn't able to do as much and felt like I had cheated myself.
I've learned my lesson now. From now on I will make sure to at least have a protein shake before my workout and won't let myself run out of Results and Recovery any more. I am also going to give myself plenty of time to do these workouts (like I have up until now) and not try to jam it into a teeny little time slot and risk frustration or injury!
