P90X Day 12: Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X

Yesterday I attempted Yoga X in the morning and in the evening I taught a martial arts class and took a martial arts class, so I was exhausted when I finally got home last night.  So exhausted in fact, that I laid down at 9:30pm and didn't get up until this morning to work out again.  I am really pushing my body far more than I've ever done before, so even though I am having a hard time, I know I am getting a great workout.


Low Fat-Low Calorie diets are great for some people, but not me, so I switched back to a Low Carb-High Fat diet, and the results were immediate.  I have lost 7 pounds since this weekend alone.  That is more than with Low Fat-Low Calorie over a period of 3 months!  I also noticed a marked improvement in TaeKwonDo class last night.  We need to be open minded about our ways of eating, find what works for us, and move on.


Today I became nauseated again about 3/4 of the way through the Legs and Back, and tried to push though and finished it, but only got about halfway through Ab Ripper X and decided I needed to stop before I got REALLY sick (like I did Saturday).  I'm losing weight, and I'm getting fit, so this bothers me, but I need to get over it because I truly did my best today.  I honestly think I just need some rest.
