Get Fit Friday

Week #10 of P90X is coming to an end!

I mentioned in last week's post that Phase 3 is divided into two different sets of workouts.  Weeks 9 & 11 being one set & week's 10 & 12 being the other set.  This week's set of workouts were the following:

Monday: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X
Tuesday: Cardio X
Wednesday: Back & Biceps, Ab Ripper X
Thursday: Yoga X
Friday: Core Synergystics
Saturday: Kenpo X
Sunday: Rest or X Stretch

And like the previous weeks, I substituted the cardio workouts for Insanity ones.  I say it every week, but these workouts are INSANE!  Seriously.  Such a great workout but they are torture each & every time I do them.

This morning when Marc took my pictures he said, 'I can really tell a difference this week'.  What a great thing to hear!  Sometimes when it is your own body, you don't see as much of a difference as others might see.  Thank you babe for your sweet comment!  It put a big ole' smile on my face & made my day!

It was another good week.  Still addicted to Fage Greek Yogurt with granola for breakfast.  I feel like I go in spurts with my breakfast choices.  Before, I couldn't get enough of smoothies, and now I'm loving my greek yogurt.  Next week, it may be something else.  I tend to eat the same thing until I get sick of it, and then move on to something else.

One thing that I did start drinking this week were Muscle Milk Light drinks.

OMG!  Have you all tried these before?  They are amazing!  I haven't tried the chocolate one yet, but this Vanilla Creme flavor is amazing!  Marc had them in the garage fridge & one day, when out in the fridge looking for a diet soda, I came across these & decided to try them. Super good & at only 150 calories & 20 grams of protein per 8 ounces, they are an awesome snack!  Marc says he got them from Costco.

Tonight we tried the Shrimp Stir Fry recipe from the P90X Nutrition book they provide with the program.  It was pretty tasty & Marc said it was definitely a keeper.

8 oz shrimp
1/2 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce
3/4 TSP rice vinegar
1/2 C fat-free chicken broth
1/2 TSP garlic
1/2 TSP ginger
3/4 C red onion
3/4 C broccoli florets
1-1/2 C snow peas
1-3/4 C mushrooms
1/2 C yellow bell pepper
1/2 canned water chestnuts

* Rinse shrimps and drain well.

* Heat the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and 2 TBSP of the chicken broth in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté until tender.

* Add all the vegetables to the pan and continue to sauté, stirring and adding more broth as necessary.

* Add shrimp when the vegetables are halfway cooked and sauté until the vegetables are tender and the shrimp are opaque.

Other than that, I am just plugging along continuing my workouts & trying to eat as healthy & clean as possible.  Judging from Marc's comment this morning, I think it's working. :)

Only 38 days until Punta Cana!!!
