Pushing Play Everyday

Day 22 (Start of Week 4)

2009-12-28T08:48:00.000-08:00

Started week 4 today. Did Interval X and Abs Core Plus.

This week is my recovery week. I have modified things a little bit by doing extra cardio work. I have only missed one day so far (Christmas Day).

This week will be heavy cardio and core.

Week 2, Day 9 Plyo X

2009-12-15T17:15:00.001-08:00

Plyo X today. Great workout! Heart rate stayed between 150 and 160 for at least the last 35 minutes (I didn't keep track at first.)

Diet was good all day until dinner. Ate way too much!!!

Round 2, Day 8 (Week 2)

2009-12-14T16:02:00.001-08:00

Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X today. I don't know why I am expecting quicker results. The workouts are kicking my butt and my diet is good. I need to stick with it. Maybe consider going up to 12 reps instead of 8 to 10.

I miss my Shakeology today. I need to order some in.

End of Week One. (Some deviations)

2009-12-13T21:28:00.000-08:00

Finished week one on Saturday. Instead of regular Kenpo I did Kenpo Cardio Plus. Heart rate was over 150 the entire time which is great! Followed it with Abs Core Plus but had to quit 8 minutes before it was over because I ran out of time.

Week two begins tomorrow. Need to stick with it!

Round 2, Day 5

2009-12-11T14:58:00.001-08:00

Legs and Back were a killer. Heart rate stayed in the zone (75% to 90%) the entire time. The scale is starting to go in the right direction. Had 2 Shakeology drinks today and they are pretty good. I've had good energy levels all day. No time for abs today plus my legs would not cooperate if I tried.

Kenpo Cardio Plus and Abs Core Plus tomorrow.

P365X!!!!

Day 4 Round 2

2009-12-11T06:24:00.000-08:00

So far so good. Shoulders and Arms was a killer yesterday. Did heavier weight than I have before. Not sure if 8-10 is right for me. I really want to lean out not bulk up.
Ran 40 hard minutes on the treadmill today instead of Yoga. I really need the cardio. Legs back and abs tomorrow.
Diet was good today. I avoided the late night chip binge. Veggies instead.
Need to stick with it and make it P180X before I give up on this.

Day 2, Round 2, Plyometrics

2009-12-08T16:14:00.000-08:00

Killer workout. Heart rate through the roof the entire time. Starving all day. I am wondering if doing these workouts in the morning will cause me to want to eat all day.

Day 1, Round 2 Chest and Back/Ab RipperX

2009-12-07T21:33:00.000-08:00

1 day down, 89 to go!

Anyone who says this workout is not a cardio workout has never done it! I wore my heart rate monitor and it stayed between 75% and 95% the whole workout. My breaks were minimum. Did Ab Ripper after dinner. That was interesting. Need to do Plyo Tuesday before 8am. Was supposed to go to bed early but obviously that has not happened.

HERE WE GO!

2009-12-07T14:00:00.000-08:00

Here we go! P90X Classic, Round 2! Day 1 of 90 begins today. I lost 25 pounds after completing round 1 so I need keep telling myself do just trust the program. It works!

Today has been a challenge already when it comes to finding the time to work out. It's been a busy day and I don't really feel like it if you want to know the truth. But I'm going to push myself through it and as the slogan says"keep pushing play" every day.
My goals for this round is to simply follow the program exactly. And yes that includes doing yoga. This morning I tipped the scales at 255 pounds. just way too much! While losing weight will be nice it's not my most important goal. Lowering my cholesterol and getting off my cholesterol medication is the priority.
So here we go! Day 1. Chest and Back.
Bring it!
