Phase 2 of P90X

Started phase 2 of P90X this week and I love the workouts! Chest, shoulders and triceps, plyometrics, back & biceps were completed this week so far and I've been sleeping more, taking naps and feeling stronger in my body.

What I've been eating:

Morning: Green Smoothie with NuPlus, 4 handfuls of mixed greens, apple, dates, water and chia seeds.

Afternoon: Soup with NuPlus and Zucchini Roll-ups with red bell pepper, celery, cukes, avos.

Before 7pm: Smoothie with NuPlus and Mixed Salad with a savory dressing.

Time Off

It's been a while since I posted. Many new beginings and no time to be on the computer, which is a good thing. My P90x workouts have been slowing down, not consistent everyday with pressing play because of muscle soreness. Skipping days when my body needs a rest is OK. I'm extending the 4th week (recovery phase) and plan on hitting it hard this week. I'm looking forward to weeks 5-7 as I am ready to go full-force again with this program. The recovery week is no picnic though, I'm working out just as hard as the first three weeks. My pictures will be posted as soon as I take month two shots. Off to the gym...

Spring into Feeling Good and Hydrated!

We've been so busy consulting people over the phone and through e-mail, in person and during our workshops. People want to heal more and more as the weather gets warmer. We are driven to feel better and lighten up a bit as the seasons change and we head toward summer. I know I've been feeling the urge to eat only juicy foods, lots of water content and definitely drink more water and my concentrated teas. Living in a dry climate makes it vital to keep hydrated all the time. I'm even increasing my consumption of oils too. Many think its as easy as lathering on some lotion, but hydrating/lubricating from the inside out is the only way to be sure you are getting what you need.

When Joel and I first moved to the desert, our skin became very scaly and flaky, like a lizards back. It wasn't until a few weeks later after nourishing with oils from the inside (about 1 T of oil per 50lbs of body weight) that we noticed a difference in skin texture. The body sure knows what we need. All outward symptoms are an indicator that something needs to change on the inside.
