P90x Classic Day 19 - Kenpo X - Part 3

Welp, I do love the Kenpo X day. Did a planned semi cheat day so I didn't track food today. That being said this will be a short post. Can't wait to start a new week in prep for round 2!

Bring it!

P90x Classic Day 18 - Legs and back - Part 3

So since I got to bed in the wee hours this morning I didn't do my workout till this afternoon. I did Abs right after as well. Such a TOUGH FRIGGIN WORKOUT. BUT I did it! All the way through, no stalls no breaks (well on the main) had to pause the vid on Ab Rippers so I could get in 25 of everything. I Brought it today. Been bringing it everyday but today felt different. I felt stronger, like I'm finally able to do the exercises without feeling like dying afterwords. I work harder than I ever have and the next day the soreness is more minimal than usual. I attribute that in part to the chocolate milk. It's a life saver I'm telling you. I drink an 8 oz chug right after a workout and I'm right as rain. Tomorrow is Kenpo X and then I get a  week of yoga and stretching and such. Can't wait! Then I start phase two! (bites nails). Hope I am ready. I am definitely ready to put up new weight, body fat and size stats.

Bring it!

P90x Classic Day 17 - Yoga X - Part 3

Got behind since I had a project come up that took me into the wee hours. Like 3am into the wee hours. Anyhoo not much to report for this day other than I am really getting addicted to Yoga. I love the Yin and Yang aspect of it all. Calm in the storm etc. I especially love how my kids are getting into it. My 11 year old son and 5 year old daughter both love it! And when it was done the 5 year old wanted to do more so I put it on for her :D

Check out my PERCENTAGES!!

P90x Classic Day 16 - Arms and Shoulders - Part 3

Crazy how weak my right arm is compared to my left. When starting P90x I decided to favor the weak limbs so they can catch up to the strong ones. My right arm with 20 lb curls would be beat by 10, my left could easily go another 20. I am left handed so that makes some sense, but can't believe it is to that extreme. When I did my measurements I found my left arm was a full inch bigger around than my right. gyarr. Anyway hope it catches up soon. It's annoying lol.

Got Ab Rippers tonight and then I will update with my meals and percentages. Today so far I am right on my percentages. Let's hope they stay that way after dinner.

Update:

Ab rippers done tonight. My son did them with me so it was even more fun. There are a couple exercises on that one that I don't care for but I do them anyway lol. I'll do it until I like it I guess!

It's late so I'm going to post my meals so I can get to bed since tomorrow is 90 minutes of Yoga X and I'd like to get up early enough to do all 90 without breaking it up. Oh btw, hit my percentages almost dead on today!!

P90x Classic Day 15 - Plyometrics - Part 3

3rd round of plyometrics done! Every morning I do plyo is the day I want to sleep in lol. But Once I get in it about 15 minutes then I am all set to go. The chocolate milk after is most welcome. I went over my calories a bit somehow and didn't get my percentages right. A bit frustrating but as I look over the day I can see where it happened. Best I can do is keep plugging away. Tomorrow is arms and shoulders and another round of Ab Ripper X. I notice I get tired earlier at night but that's due to getting up so early and getting so much exercise. Feels good though!

P90x Classic Day 14 - Chest and Back/Ab Ripper X - Part 3!

Yes you heard it right folks. I finished Chest and Back workout number 3. I have definitely improved over the last 2 weeks. I can still only do one unassisted pull up so I still need the chair for that, but I've pushed the chair farther out so it's much harder. I also was able to reach my goals on all of the push up rounds and I need to increase my weights on all of the dumbbell rounds. Will be doing Ab Ripper X tonight. Great day so far!

Later:

AB RIPPER X! I did all my crunchy frogs!! Actually almost did all 349 sit up exercises. Closer than I have before anyway. I was impressed with how much I was able to do compared to even last week.

I also did the best I have done on my percentages. Got 51% protein and lower carbs than I've had to date. I'll post the pie chart as usual below. I am looking forward to the rest week but I hear it's almost as tough as the weight weeks. I guess I'm mostly excited because only a couple weeks until I can measure myself and take my 30 day pics. Looking forward to seeing how and where I have improved. I have a quote I've used a lot the last 15 years that goes "I'm quite buff under all this flab!" I am anxious to finally watch the flab go so I can see the buffness. Over all I feel better. I still tire daily from all the exercise and stringent diet but that tells me it's working. It's hard to put faith in a 90 day program hoping it will pan out, but I have confidence that if I stick to it, I will see great results. I've already changed my perception on my eating and plan to start insanity shortly after finishing P90x.
