What to eat?

Day 10
I swear I was blinking in bed and all of a sudden it was time to wake up. A million excuses came across my mind of why I couldn't workout this morning. Last night I met with my MBA group to work on our Accounting and Marketing case studies and by the time I got home and had some tidy-the-apartment-time it was almost midnight.

For Arms & Shoulders, my classmate/groupmate/neighbor/carpool buddy joined us in the fitness center. I think his eyes fell out of his head when I told him to meet us at the fitness center at 5:50 am. But he was there before we were! Today I really tried to push myself since I don't think I tried hard enough last week. I was puffing by the end and those last side-raise-lay-down-weird-tri-cep-things were much harder this time. Although, for the first time I made it all the way through the In and Outs without stopping or modifications, so I think I'm getting better already.

I played domestic wife this morning and made Luke a lunch and fed Monday breakfast, so I didn't get a chance to jump back in bed. Plus I woke up to my frantic boss (who believes everything is a fire drill) emailing and texting about the audit at work. No big whoop, all was solved, but it was too late to get back in bed. At least tomorrow I will be doing Yoga in my living room at a sane hour in the afternoon.

I was hungry all day yet again. I realized I haven't really talked much about food. There are some good recipes in the P90X book, but most are meh on flavor. So far I have made some of the salads, the balsamic vinaigrette, the shrimp stir fry, and gazpacho soup from the book. I have also made other recipes on the fly with the ingredients from the book's "approved" list and a couple others from my Health magazine. Before we started P90X we completely revamped our fridge and pantry with all non processed foods and a lot more organic greens from the Farmer's Market, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's.

I have also heard that people get sick of the food during P90X, but I think I've been changing it up quite a bit. Right now I'm loving yogurt, frozen fruit bars, string cheese, and strawberries for snacks. Meals are harder to stick to since it takes a lot more prep work, but my favorites so far are homemade sweet potato fries and beef stir fry. My mouth just started watering just thinking about them. Right now I have to head to my Marketing class and eat who-knows-what-they-are-serving for dinner and try to steer clear of the desserts and the mid-class cookies at break.
