P90X - Day 3 and 4

DAY 3---------------------------------------------

FOOD:  The breakfast of turkey bacon, chicken scramble, and fresh squeezed orange juice was very good.  When I was making the juice with this electric juicer (my mom stashes it at my house for my dad because he can't be without his fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning), my son said, “Mom, that’s what Vito does”.  It was so funny because he was so excited.
I had my recovery drink after my workout, but I didn't eat the protein bar.  Lunch was truly gross.  I did not like the chicken salad or the vegetable soup.  The serving sizes are too big so I don't usually finish all the food.  I'm glad it's not the same meals every day, but it would be way easier if they were the same.  I'm going to try all the recipes and then pick out the ones that I can actually eat without gagging and have those next week.  The halibut, pesto sauce, wild rice, and zucchini were very good. I had never made pesto.  I had never made wild rice before.  It's black and was very chewy. I don’t know if that’s how it’s supposed to be or if 20 minutes wasn't long enough to cook it all the way.
WORKOUT:  It was ok, but I didn’t have heavy enough weights to really feel the burn.  I only have 2 lb hand weights and they are way too light.  I have to get some 10 pounders at least to feel this one.  I did the Ab Ripper X again and it was good, but my abs are sore from doing it two days ago.


DAY 4---------------------------------------------
FOOD:  The breakfast was ok.  I used Morning Star breakfast sausage patties which were very small on those thick Oroweat whole wheat english muffins.  I didn’t have any fat free mozzarella cheese so I used less than it called for of the regular kind.  I had the turkey jerky as my morning snack which was ok.  The steak, arugula, and tomato were good with the artichokes, but the dressing tasted strange.  I guess because it was mostly balsamic vinegar.  I think I put a little too much of it so next time I’ll use less.  The dinner was amazing!  It was chicken with honey chile sauce, cilantro, and sprinkled with toasted pecans. It was served with quinoa and snap peas.  Oh man, that sauce with the cilantro and pecans on the chicken was so good. I’m definitely making that again.  Quinoa usually gives me a stomach ache, but I don't feel anything so far so hopefully it won't give me a stomach ache this time.
WORKOUT: The workout on my list says “Yoga X”, but I don’t have that disc so I did the cardio X. I loved that one. It makes you sweat w/o doing as much moving as the plyometrics.
