Day 49 – Rest Day

It’s amazing how excited I get about setting the alarm for 6am. Sleeping in! It wasn’t all that long ago that I considered 6am an early morning.

My legs don’t hurt as much today as I thought they would. Probably hurt less than yesterday. But I’m feeling my shoulders/triceps today. So glad that next week is a recovery week. My body needs that. One of the things I love about Beachbody routines is that they build in things like recovery weeks. It’s nice to know that a fitness expert feels a recovery is needed at this point, rather than just feeling like I’m being a wimp. When I leave my schedule up to me I know I alternate between pushing myself too hard and refusing to take breaks, to choosing easy routines and becoming apathetic about if I’m feeling any improvement.

Tomorrow’s day 50… only 40 more to go!! On Sunday my daughter is 3 months old. When I had my son he was 3 months before I started P90X. So, I guess I’m ahead of the game. I have to keep reminding myself of that. Today I’m wearing non-preggo jeans and it feels great! Except that I felt like the stereotypical girl lying down to button her jeans and I have an awesome muffin top. Hooray for a big polo shirt.
