I a in week 3 of p90x and feeling good. still with the diet and am down 4 pounds. Getting stronger as I found out when I picked up my wife and carried her up the stairs. Not bad. she was a little surprised. it was kinda funny. This whole program has been great so far. I am at the point where I bounce out of bed for some workouts but need to coax myself a little for others. Oh well....still going

I have completed day 10 and I am rolling pretty well. Lost a couple of pounds and have improved on my reps with push ups and pull ups. I did a total of 141 push ups on Monday. I am getting stronger fairly quickly. Ab ripper is still tough especially after an hour of lifting. either way, by day 90 I should be ready to take on the zombie apocalypse with my bare hands.

Day 2

2009-12-01T05:57:00.000-08:00

Day 2 came with plyometrics which is basically jumps and squats and that kind of craziness. It was pretty brutal but luckily, my lovely wife got up and did it with me. I most likely would have given up without her! I was pretty beat afterward. The soreness from yesterday is starting to creep in. My back and abs are pretty sore and thanks, to today's fun, my legs and hipflexors are getting there too. I have been icing my neck due to a little strain while flailing about trying to get the last pull up yesterday and it is feeling better. Planning on getting to bed a little earlier tonight and have also made a note to eat some pasta next Monday night so I have more energy for plyometrics. Its a work in progress I guess. Well, there ya go!
Just an fyi, I'll be surprised if i update this blog everyday for 90 days but we'll see.
later.

Day 1 done

2009-11-30T03:26:00.000-08:00

I can type, barely. The workout was really tough. I am a little nauseous but good and tired. I should be pretty sore tomorrow. I did a few more pull ups than I thought I would and only had to go onto my knees for the very last diamond push up set. My number did decrease on the second round but all in all I am satisfied with my first day . I am having chocolate milk as my recovery drink which my research tells me is better than any other over the counter supplement. It feels good to have the first one under my belt and get past the nervousness about starting this program. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

P90x Starts Monday, November 30

2009-11-25T06:20:00.000-08:00

Against my better judgment, I am starting the P90x fitness program on Monday. I was getting kind of burned out at the gym and not getting the results I was hoping for, mainly I still have this wonderful spare tire around my waist. I had hit a plateau of weight loss and have actually gained a few pounds in the past month or two. The workouts look really grueling and everybody that has been through it before are telling me "good luck, no really...good luck". I can only do a few, like two, chin ups and they are a big part of the program so i am planning on working up to a bunch in the next 90 days. I have been over the nutrition plan a thousand times since I received it in the mail with the DVD's, so I think I am ready for that. Ready is really not the right word. I am knowledgeable about the plan. Implementing it an will be easy, sticking to it will be hard especially during the holidays. Either way, I am ready for a challenge. Wish me luck!
