P90X - Day 5

FOOD:  The 6 egg whites for breakfast were very good again.  I guess it's because I love eggs, but I didn't know how could they could be with tomato, spinach, feta, and basil, yum.  Breakfast also included half a grapefruit and 8 oz. skim milk.  My grapefruit wasn't very good though :-(

Lunch took 2 hours to prepare!  This program should come with a chef!  I think part of the workout during this whole fiasco includes the meal preparation.  I don't think I know anybody who would make all these meals from scratch like I've been doing... it's not easy or fun.  It's very tough since I also make all my husband's meals for his body building (a ton of chicken) plus meals for 8 other children in my daycare.  I've never had gazpacho before, but it is nasty.  The turkey burger and coleslaw were good though.

I couldn't find any swordfish at the store so I used tilapia instead.  The mango-ginger sauce tasted very different.  I'm not used to those flavors together (mango, tomato, and red onion).  I dislike raw onions a lot.  I didn't like it at first, but as I kept eating it I got used to it.  I didn't love it, but it was ok.

One annoying thing about all these recipes is that a lot of them are 8-12 servings.. what the heck is that all about?!  Can't you people just make them 1 serving so we don't end up with a frig full of left overs?!

WORKOUT: It was ok, but I still can't do the pull-ups and there were a lot of them in this one, the Arms & Back DVD.  The Ab Ripper X is always fun to do because it burns.  Check out my daughter doing the Ab Ripper X.  I had to take a video of her... keep your legs straight sweetie.
