Day 53 & 54 - Stretch X and Core Synergistics

I'm a bad girl.  I know.  I said no more skipping workouts and here I am three days later skipping workouts again :(
I have a good excuse though... I had one of those migraine-type headaches again last night... It hit me while I was at work around 4:00 in the afternoon and didn't go away until I went to sleep despite all the Motrin and rubbing out my knots in my shoulders.  I've been getting those headaches often for the past month or so and I'm not sure why, but I wish they'd stop.  Maybe I should see a doctor... Who knows.  Or I should get a massage... but saving money for a down payment on a house is a priority right now...  OD'ing on Motrin will have to continue for now unless I have any massage volunteers  ;-)

So, today will be both Stretch X AND Core Syn again, which is okay, because I probably need a good stretch after work today anyway, and I remember Core Synergistics not seeming as hard the 2nd time during the first recovery week.

I am going to have to make some changes with the diet... I was SO hungry at work yesterday that I ate two extra protein supplements and extra cheese...  And after calculating my protein, I realized I am doing much more than I thought I was - between 120 and 130 grams, which is ideal for my weight, apparently.

Yesterday's food:
8:00 - Hard Boiled egg
8:00 - 6 Strawberries
9:00 - Protein bar
11:00 - 4 Strawberries
1:00 - Chicken sandwich on 45 calorie bread
2:00 - 1/2 cup cucumbers with ACV
2:00 - cheese stick
3:00 - Protein bar
3:00 - Melba toast
4:00 - Salad (2 cups)
5:00 - cheese stick

Yeah, by 5:30 I was crazy hungry so when I got home at 8:00 pm I had an egg on a bagel... a large bagel...:(  Aaaand.... I may or may not have had some cheez-its too..... :(

Ugh.

It's just not enough food.

I need to pick up some Casein protein to take at night (as recommended by my favorite client... you know who you are) when GNC has their next Gold card sale next month...  After doing a little research online the best choice seems to be Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein... I need some whey too... In the meantime I am going to keep cutting down on the salt and carbs and upping the protein so I can lean out (finally seeing my triceps under that layer of water weight after 3 days of the diet was more exciting than you'll ever know) but I will definitely incorporate more food into what I was allowing myself to eat.

Time for some stretching!

 9:02 pm Update -

Tomorrow is Stretch X or Rest; I am definitely not going to skip out on a workout tomorrow....I am planning on waking up early and riding my bike with the sunrise.  Besides, I can't skip, I have 60 day pics coming up, heh... which I'll really post this time since there is a little improvement.
Today's workouts went okay.  I had my HR monitor on during Core Synergistics, but apparently it wasn't working throughout half of the workout so I didn't' have an accurate calorie count to post.  Stretch X felt like a waste of time. :-/  I'm sure it wasn't. :-)

Ha.  I just received a text message that just read "Hell"
Then I got an "oops". Haha.
<3 you, girl.

You know...  I want to thank everyone for the support during this P90x torture.... I don't get many comments on my blogs but to those who actually read these and offer me support when I see you, it helps more than you know.  It's been becoming increasingly more difficult to stick with this as the days go on.... but the encouraging words make a difference!  So, thank you.
