Day 6 - Kenpo X

It's funny how one's state of mind can do a complete 180º with 8 hours of sleep. Last night, my family and I went to 529, a steakhouse here in Winnipeg, for dinner. I was going to edit my Menu of the Day post from last night, but it's really quite embarrassing/impressive all that I consumed last night. Between the steak tartare, onions rings, shrimp cocktail, rack of lamb, beef tenderloin, creamy mashed potatoes, sweet mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, fried potatoes, and then the 3 different desserts we ordered....I packed away the calories. (Obviously we shared the side dishes. That wasn't ALL for me!) Funny thing is, I didn't feel guilty at all! I got my workout in yesterday, and I knew I wasn't going to be eating like this every day, or even every month. That dinner was maybe a once every 4-5 month kind of deal. So I enjoyed it to the max!

After dinner, we were all thinking we'd never be hungry again, and the thought of working out the next day just made me even sleepier. That's not what happened the next morning though!

I woke up, and made an extreme high protein breakfast of 4 protein pancakes (Basically egg whites, oatmeal, cottage cheese, and vanilla in the blender to make the batter) and 4 slices of turkey bacon. Funny how after a huge dinner and a big sleep, all of a sudden my appetite is back, and I'm stoked to workout!

I rocked out Kenpo today. I kept up with Tony and the gang, although I'm highly inflexible, and I kick like a girl. I'm positive I looked absolutely ridiculous. Good thing no one was watching! I worked hard enough to work up a sweat and have been downing water since finishing. (Water during Plyo/Kenpo = Nectar of the Gods).

So I'm taking Sundays off, which means I've completed my first week of P90x. My confidence level has boosted, and like I mentioned, I'm already seeing results, which is awesome. From here on in, I'm not sure I'll be posting every day, but I wanted to post everyday during my first week as I settled into the X. I'm going to continue doing my best....and forgetting the rest! YEAH BABY!!!
