I ended up spending 1 1/2 hour on CST because I had to hit the pause button to adjust my weight and to finish my own rep. Guess what, I started to get a hang on my push ups and I even managed to do one arm push up, even though I didn't go as deep as the peeps on the video. Even Laura went deeper than me, in my view. Also I managed to do the clap push up (on my knees of course!)
I guess taking the soy protein drink pre workout did the trick after all. I felt I had more energy to do the moves. I should consider this from now on prior my resistance workout.
I didn't quite do the Abs as on the video as I mentioned before, seems like my ab muscles have plateaued and I need to add more variety to confuse them again.
Btw, sorry for the delay but here's my *supposedly* DAy 60 pic.
I am kinda disappointed as my Day 60 pic doesn't show that much difference from my Day 30 pic. But oh well, I am not supposed to think that Day 90 is the end of everything, right?
Diet went well as usual. I had my protein drinks pre and post workout and also had Jay Robb™ JayBar Peanut Butter High Protein Bar. It tasted fabulous and despite its chewiness, it wasn't sweet at all! I might consider this to stash more of this.
Edit:
I felt a bit earthquake earlier...PHEW! Good thing it was only a little bit, but felt it.

P90X Lean Phase 2: Day 45 - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps & Abs
For those who live in Southern California, I'm sure you all felt the 4.4 earthquake this morning around 4 am (unless you are a super duper heavy sleeper).
The earthquake lasted around 15 seconds, felt pretty strong. Nothing damaged at my house, thank goodness. After the earthquake stopped, I decided to get up and get ready to do my P90X. Usually, I woke up around 4:30 am and started around 5 am. But it doesn't hurt to start earlier. That way I'll have an ample of time to shower, had a little bite then drive to work without any rush.
CST felt great, but I was still a big sucker for the push ups. I tried to switch the band to the blue one (medium) but it was a big mistake. I could barely lift it up and my form was all messed up, so I switched back to the red one (light). I couldn't do Scarecrow, because I had this sharp pain on my left arm whenever I lifted it up. My right arm was ok. Abs felt great. I kept my shoes on but I still followed the usual sequence. I wasn't quite in shape to mix up the sequence today. My right side abs was a bit sore from doing superman-banana on Sunday (Core) and Monday (Cardio X).
Breakfast was great. I was super hungry that I chowed down 1 banana and 1 pineapple shortbread cake and a cup of almond milk with flaxseed meal and cocoa powder. I brought lots of stuff for my daytime meal - lunch (rice with salmon cooked in lemon juice, stir fry asparagus, 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 roll of wheat french bread, a container of 2 oranges (peeled) and a handful of blueberries).
