P90X talk, week 11 + dietary changes
Aug. 7th, 2009 01:52 pm( Schedule, summary, etc. for Final Phase )
But it's not all about working out, you have to put good things in to get good things out. ( Food changes in my diet. )
One more thing I changed about my lifestyle was sleep. I averaged 6 hours a night before, and sometimes not even that. Falling asleep was hard a lot of nights. Working out like this? No longer a problem. I get a SOLID 8 hours every night, sometimes more. Your muscles get stronger and repair themselves while you sleep, so I made a point of going to bed early just to make sure that whenever I finally fell asleep, I'd be closer to getting my goal of 8 hours. Now it's just not a problem. I'm pretty tired by the end of the day. :)
I know this is extreme, and I know this isn't for everyone. But man, this was totally for me. I have never felt better in my life. In case the worst happens tomorrow (*G*) I'll die fit and happy. Heh.
(And please know that I'm throwing that dietary stuff to the wind tomorrow night because I plan on celebrating hard core. Bring on the cheese, meat, and booze!)
