You are what you eat

It's true what they say: "You are what you eat".

Faisal and I did some grueling Polymetrics ("Explosive jumping cardio routine proven to dramatically improve athletic performance") last night on the P90X. This was numerous combos of jumps, squats, & lunges. But 1 hour before we chowed down on greasy, fried chinese food. Ate ourselves to fullness (bad idea), then started working out 1 hour later. BIIIG mistake. We even got 2 warnings: "make sure you don't eat right before this workout" (Faisal and I gave each other the uh-oh look), and "this is the "X" in P90X. It's Extreme". (both of us were like "Grrrrreeeaat" as we clutched our swollen stomachs - damn chinese food!).

Needless to say, with all that sodium in junk food, I didn't perform my best, I found myself always thirsty, and stuck with this bloated/full feeling. I "brought it", but I sure as hell didn't "conquer" it. No worries, my ass, thighs, ankles are sore as hell today. Yessss! Next DVD: 1 hour of Shoulders and Arms. Jay - you are missing out, my friend. ;)

No junk food like that for awhile! Makes you feel like crap! Even your body protests! For real, for real.

Backtracking real quick: last weekend for Mom and Kuya El-cid's belated bday celebration upstate was AWESOME! Very activity-filled (Bball, Volleyball, Bball again, quick treadmill run, naps, ALL the kids, Shopping!, ER, ride around Kuya El-cid's motorcycle, enjoying the breeze/trees/quietness). Lot's of BBQ. Too much laughing during my brother's gift opening. What was 1 night stay felt more like a 3 day stay! I love that.
