Been really behind in keeping track of this - I’m entering into another recovery week and then that’ll be the last of it.   We are planning on another round after a weeks’ rest.    I guess the photos will really tell us what we’ve accomplished.

Day 83 & 84 Rest

We’ve been just taking the entire weekends as rest days as the work-outs are wearing us out!

I am catching up on blogging these days.   What we did on day 69 instead of Kenpo was Ab Ripper, took a rest on day 70 (weekend) then got back to routin on day 71, 72 and 73.    I stopped after 30 minutes of plyo on day 72 as I was too tired to continue.     Engaged in some Passover food nonsense and it really caught up with me.   Today will be doing Cardio X as well.

Here’s a gem that was passed on to me.  

I’m happy to be doing cardio now!   

In my inbox I receive newsletters from Beach Body.   Today was about getting a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in our diets.  What is perplexing is the P90X diet guidelines only recommend 1 serving of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables a day, far and way below what the USDA recommends.   Now how can this be?  

It is  disturbing that Beach Body appears to “keep up” with the latest in nutrition, etc. yet their diet guidelines are SO behind the times with animal based high protein diets and low fruit and vegetable consumption and ESPECIALLY all the supplement pushing.   

I guess they have to push those supplements because of their stance on a low plant food diet.   Although supplements just can’t take the place of the nutrients in plant foods, especially FRESH plant foods.   So I guess the outside of the body will look fine but the inside is gushing with recovery drinks, soy protein isolates, artificial flavorings & colorings and a bunch of animal protein.   

It is a good thing our bodies are forgiving.    It doesn’t take long for our bodies to repair the damage of unhealthy diets, as long as we feed them correctly with health promoting foods.

Such a long workout but managed to get through it okay.     It was just me and DH this time, our daughter slept in!

Yesterday we got to Kenpo a little late.   We were all pretty tired and needed to catch up on our sleep and rest.   

The workout was great - got my heart rate up to a good number and lots of sweat, felt very nice afterward. 

DS is still very sick with the flu or what have you.     I’ve been stepping up everyone’s vitamin C around here and picked up some Oscillo just in case, as there are 5 of us. 

Great workout.  DH got his heart monitor going and did quite well.   The blocks and punches still throw me for a loop, the kicks are so different than what we are used to in TKD.

 We still need to get more sleep as well.  7 hours just doesn’t cut it when our bodies need to recover and rebuild.     One great thing, is that the kids have no problem going to bed when it’s time and they fall asleep pretty fast!
