I was up in the middle of the night last night with a bad cough and did not sleep well enough to get up in time for my morning P90X2 workout. So, I did my workouts back to back when I was done working for the day.

These workouts fit very well back to back. The TUY Yin Yoga workout is an “easy” practice where you hold deep stretches for 3 to 5 minutes. And after P90X2 Total Body I was ready for some deep stretching.

I am still letting the P90X2 workouts grow on me. Many of the balance moves feel very awkward. I understand that Tony is getting us to engage our core and other muscles while working the primary muscle, but wow is it awkward. I will go with the flow and trust Tony and let the results speak for themselves.

I have been doing great with my nutrition. No alcohol this week, no cigars, no sugar and no processed foods. I am tracking everything I eat. I feel better already.

During my post workout shower (where I do some of my best thinking) I was noticing how good I feel and that I don’t get the 2:00 sleepy time feeling in the afternoon. I know that when I eat good I feel better and have more energy. I have made this observation numerous times in my life. But for some reason I let myself slip into bad habits over and over again. These things creep up on you. Like that saying, “how do you boil a frog? Very slowly.” These bad habits, and the way they make you feel, happen so slowly that you don’t notice. Until it’s too late.

In your life and in your workouts… Bring it!
