P90X - Chest & Back (52 minutes) (skipped Ab Ripper X)
Pretty tough workout this morning. Just goes to show I've got to start treating my body better on the weekends. I definitely slack on the big 3 on the weekends. Water, healthy eating & sleep.
While I wasn't at my strongest this morning I still had a good workout. I definitely struggled on anything "pull up" related. All other back/chest exercises I did fairly well. Again, not my best performance but still a good one.
In other news I'd just like to announce that on Friday I had a follow up for my blood work. My cholesterol went down over 120 points. I believe it was 288 before and it dropped to 164. My Dr was ecstatic. I do want to state that I do take medication for my cholesterol but at the 288 reading I had not been taking it at all. After that reading I made a conscious effort to pack my cholesterol pill & vitamins in my lunch box and bring it with me every day. So if nothing else I get that 5 days a week, which is pretty good. My Dr said that typically with the use of the pill they would see the cholesterol drop 30 - 40 points. To see it drop as much as I did he attributed that to the cleaner eating (removing a ton of processed foods, breads, soda, etc...) and regular exercise. I don't go back until January but providing that I keep my ass on track I can't wait to go back and see the changes and hopefully see about getting off the medication all together.
Tomorrow - we'll give that Cardio X another shot.
