Day: 2, P90X Plyometrics

Workout

P90X Plyometrics Status: Completed Plyo returns with a vengeance! I still love this workout, even though it's still really freakin' hard. I managed to get through the whole thing with the weight vest on too. Looks like a two week break didn't slow me down. In fact, I felt amazing the whole time, and my jumps were great. I'll be honest, I dog it a little on the rock star hops, but the rest of the workout I can really push my way through. I have a weird schedule day at work, so I came home at lunch to work out today. I wonder how much that changes things. I definitely had more energy today, and I had a shakeology for lunch about 45 minutes before plyo. Hmm.... Week 1 of Round 2 is still going strong! Bring it!

Day: 1, P90X Chest and Back

Log Entry

Daily Note: Back in the swing of things already! I was struggling to push play today, but once I started moving I felt amazing. I know this round is going to be even better than the last one. I can feel it! And when Tony introduced the one girl (who's name is slipping me right now) in chest and back as a graduate of the program, I instinctively threw my arms in the air and said Me Too! I'm officially a graduate who's going back for seconds. Here we go!

Workout

P90X Chest and Back Status: Completed I didn't follow the tip of the day! I didn't pace myself in round 1. I got through the first pushups and did great (like really great!) and then tried pullups for the first time since I hurt myself in phase 2 of round 1. The pullups were totally happening today! They didn't hurt at all, and even though I couldn't do more than five of each, they felt so strong! Just simple, straight up and down movements! But then I got excited about these big gains, and pushed myself as hard as I could the rest of the workout. By round 2, I was spent. I never stopped though, so that's good. I could have done a little better overall if I'd done less in the beginning. Besides that, great chest and back day and amazing way to start round 2 of P90X. I'm a million times stronger than where I was on my last day 1. I can't wait to see where I'll be when I start Insanity, just over 90 days from now!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed Rough start after the chest and back fiasco, but I got my energy up after the bicycles and really brought it the rest of the workout. I haven't done ab ripper for two weeks, and I was feeling it today! Much stronger than my first ab ripper 90 days ago, and once again I did all 50 mason twists! P90X Round 2 is off to a great start! Bring it!

Day: 91, P90X Rest

Log Entry

Daily Note: Tomorrow starts round 2 and I am ready! I'm going to try to add a little more cardio in with some mma DVDs I have and cardio x of course. I've gotta lose a little more weight, and I need to get myself ready for Insanity! P90X is an amazing program that helped me lose a lot of weight and put on a lot of muscle. The diet is by far the hardest part of it all. I don't follow the P90X diet, but eat a pretty healthy six or seven small meals per day. I also cheat once or twice a week. Honestly, I'm ok with that. Ya, if I followed the diet to a T I'd lose more weight, but I'm a huge fan of food and this whole thing is about me enjoying life to its fullest. So I cheat once in a while; ya, it's bad, but I'm still doing a hell of a lot better if I didn't follow any diet. There's no reason to scold myself for it and there's no reason to quit because I messed up a few times. The program works, and even if it's slower this way, it's a million times better than if I did nothing. The workouts are difficult in P90X, but not too much is impossible. I got better at every single exercise over 90 days, and I'm going to keep getting better in round 2. There's still a few things I can't do, but I try and each time I get a little closer. Just like the diet, even a little is so much better than nothing at all. Wish me luck in Round 2, and keep reading! Huge results are on their way! Thanks you for everything Tony and BeachBody. You're great people! Bring it!

P90X Rest Status: Completed

Day 1 and Day 90 Pictures

Day 1 is on the top and Day 90 is on the bottom. I still see a lot of squishy stuff on the bottom, but now that I see them side by side I can really notice a difference! The stomach's a lot smaller, the man boobs are starting to disappear, and in general the one on the bottom just looks so much better! Ya, I need a haircut, but aside from that this is awesome!

Holy crap, I really have Day 90 pics now! I can't wait to see the results after Round 2! It starts in two days! Bring it!

Day: 90, P90X Yoga X

Workout

P90X Yoga X Status: Completed All done with Round 1! Had a great yoga workout today, then took my measurements. It looks like I lost just about 20 lbs. Considering Thanksgiving last weekend and Claim Jumper last night, I'm pretty comfortable with that. I'm still pretty squishy overall, but a lot less fat than 90 days ago. I wonder where I'll be after the next 90 days. Tony said it best at the end of this workout....self, thanks for bringing it. Recap will follow soon. Gotta get ready for work now. Namaste.

Day: 89, P90X Core Synergistics

Workout

P90X Core Synergistics Status: Completed Day 89 is done. Only one more day to go. Tony's right; Core turned into one of my favorite workouts. I really wish this one showed up more often in the program. I love the whole body stuff, the pushups are all funky and different, and I'm blown away how long I can hold chattaranga. I'm eating at claim jumper with family tonight. I'm going to try to eat healthy, but it's claim jumper, so I'm expecting my results to be a pound or two over where they'd normally be. Just throwing that out there for tomorrow. It's been quite a ride, and I have a few recap comments I'm looking forward to putting together tomorrow. One more day! Bring it!

Day: 88, P90X X Stretch

Workout

P90X X Stretch Status: Completed Good X Stretch day. I'm at work and forgot to update the blog this morning, so I've gotta cut this short. Bring it!
