Day "14": Plyometrics

After taking a little over a week off, doing Plyometrics scared me.  Normally, or at least the other times I have done this video, I was excited!  I think this exercise goes by very fast and despite my boobs practically knocking me out with every jump (yes, I do wear a sports bra), I rather enjoy it.

But today, it felt like day 1 exercising!  I was winded in the warm-up!  I barely had enough energy to complete the video, and I am sure everything was done with minimal effort (despite my legs still hurting ... days later).  Kristi then brought something to my attention: we started the P90X Nutrition plan!  Phase 1 (I will write a more detailed blog about the diet later) is heavy protein and very little carbs to try to shred as much fat as possible.  They warn that energy levels will be low during exercise, and in that case, you should move on to Phase 2 (adding more carbs, taking away protein).

We will probably finish out the week on Phase 1 and move into something that will give us the energy to actually complete the exercises.

Sorry this is so short, but that's all!
