Working on getting ready to take on Legs & Back and then Ab Ripper X...as of right now 8:30am...I have had breakfast and coffee. I will start my workout in about 30 more minutes...then I will come back and edit this entry! :)
Outside of this workout today I will be doing a short Yoga workout with Tony Horton...I believe Patience Hummingbird or Fountain of Youth...haven't made up my mind yet, but I know I need some Yoga today!
.....ok...I just finished Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X and Patience Hummingbird (Yoga)....Man I feel wiped! Need to refuel!
I actually held weights for all of my leg work except the sneaky lunges...maybe next week! :) I feel that I did great today....and I actually got the shaky leg doing wall squats!
Still concentrating on form with the Ab routine...feels good!
Yoga was nice...by the time I got to it, I was already sweating...so it just elevated the sweat level!
Now I have to rush to get ready and pick up my daughter...we have Girl Scout Booth Sales today! Cookie time!
Nutrition for today was pretty good...I had my Shakeology before we arrived at the cookie sale...I packed my snacks and lunch items for the day and I didn't eat but 1 cookie! :)
When I came home I had a NY Strip steak for dinner...just a steak and nothing else...I ate 4 more cookies afterwards....so I need to work those off in the morning! :)
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Once you decide to take control of your health then you will want the best tools to help you achieve your goals...that is what I offer.

Day 11 P90X-Should have been Yoga X
Well yesterday would have been a Yoga X workout for me but instead I opted to hold off because I was participating in a local group workout event. I didn't want to overdo it ya know! Well the "workout" was more of an intro for beginners so I can't say I worked up a sweat and when I got home I had an appt with the roofing guy to get our new roof started. Dinner happened and Yoga X got booted. :(
My next blog entry will be for today's plans! :) move on.....

Day 10 P90X-Shoulders, Arms & Ab Ripper X
I woke up this morning to the voice of a little boy...Oma...I don't wanna close my eyes...Oma...Open your eyes! LOL I am thankful that it was only a few minutes before my alarm sounded! So I did get some sleep last night because the grandbaby didn't wake me up until almost wakeup time. :)
Get up a little groggy...who isn't at 4am?....get myself gathered up and change into my workout clothes. (side note for me...need to invest in some new workout clothes...these are old and I only have shorts!) I stumble into the kitchen all the while listening to the little boy trailing around beside me asking me for cookies! LOL! Oh how disappointed he was when I told him NO! ;) Anywho...I made me a cup of coffee...put my Shoulders & Arms DVD into the player and logged onto www.wowy.com so I could track my workout. This morning I also found it necessary to have a small serving of Apple Juice w/Van Whey mixed in....something told me I might need some fuel for the workout. Not sure what that something was but I listened and I have to say...I blew my workout out of the water! I was hitting each set with great form and a little heavier weights than last week! I didn't take long breaks either...I was way ahead of Tony and the gang by the end! :)
Ab Ripper X is still something I focus hard on. I really watch my form and do as many as I can within the time limits given. Sometimes I hit the 25 and sometimes I don't. Since I have better form on this workout I am noticing a tighter mid section! Can you feel it!? Yes I can!

Core Cal-Mag (calcium/magnesium supplement w/VitD--3 per day)

Day 9 P90X--Plyo X
Just finished PlyoX....I feel that I did better this week. What did I do differently? Well for one thing I slept through the night....no middle of the night wakeups from my grandson! Yay! :) And I did not consume anything prior to the workout....just a little water oh and a cup of black coffee...so maybe I did consume something? LOL
I will admit that I can't do the jump knee tucks or rock star hops but I am doing knee lifts during those sets with concentrated focus on my abs. :) I also am not doing the "bonus sports round" at the end of the session. I feel pretty wasted by that time and I do not feel any benefit from it because my form is lousy. :( I probably need some one on one help with my form for these moves?
I had about 20 minutes left on the workout when my grandson joined me...he wanted breakfast! trying to get a 3 year old to "wait" for you to finish something is difficult this early in the morning...LOL! I did finish the workout but I had to listen to him fussing the whole time. :(

Day 8 P90X-Chest/Back/Abs
I didn't get to sleep until after 10pm last night...I really didn't think I would perform that well this morning but I did fairly well. Most of my numbers on Chest & Back were the same...a couple were up but most just matched last week. :) I am happy with it for now. :)
I continue to use the bands to perform my "pullups". I will start doing chair assisted pullups in Phase II.
Ab Ripper X was great...well I didn't make it through 25 of each set but I did focus on my form and I completely feel it in my abs....I think I missed this during my first round of P90X! Thanks to ChaLEAN Extreme and Insanity I have learned a bit more about form when it comes to doing ab work. Nothing against Tony but he doesn't focus on teaching much about the form when it comes to the ab routine. Maybe it was covered in P90 but I didn't do P90 so it didn't really help. ;)
Form is everything with these workouts...when the form starts to go south then you are pretty much done with that set. Take the break and come back...if your form is still shabby then move to the next exercise. :)
Equipment needed:
My daily eats for today are as follows:
2 poached eggs
1/2 cup uncooked oats w/1 scoop van. whey & Cinnamon
1 cup black coffee
1/4 cup dried fruit
1 small apple
1 Chicken sausage link (120 cals, 5 g fat)
1 serving carrots
24 almonds
1 cup non fat plain yogurt w/1 tbs agave
1 serving Shakeology w/1 scoop vanilla whey & a few drops of peppermint extract
6 oz baked chicken w/sesame ginger dressing
1 cup steamed veggies
As promised here is my weigh-in numbers for this week's start
158.5 (sadly I gained quite a few lbs over the holidays :( )

Day 6 P90X-Kenpo X
Today's schedule was Kenpo X. :) I can't say that this is my favorite workout in the series but I did push myself very hard this morning and I worked up a good sweat! I keep finding myself out of fuel near the end so I am not as capable of finishing as strong as I would like. :(
My daughter joined me this morning and she completed some of the moves but then she said it was boring so she stopped! LOL she is only 10 years old but she is somewhat right I think. Some people would find it boring because they aren't putting their all into it. Learning the punch sequences is a bit annoying at first and the fact that you aren't hitting anything can make you feel like it is not so much fun. This is one of the reasons we invested in a heavy bag. Once we get it hung I will be doing my Kenpo sessions on the bag! I am very excited about that for sure!
During some of the punching sequences I had to shorten my punch because of my tendinitis in my left elbow. If I extend too far it hurts! doh! So I shan't do that! LOL
No special equipment is needed for this workout! Just good old fashioned punching and kicking!
My eats for today include:
2 poached eggs
1 apple
1/4 c dried fruit (no sugar added)
24 raw almonds
1 cup fat free plain yogurt w/1tbs agave
4 oz lean deli turkey
2 pieces whole wheat bread
1 serving baby carrots
P90X Protein bar (chocolate fudge)
1 slice reduced fat colby/jack cheese
1 serving Shakeology w/1 serv. Van. Whey protein
Chicken stir-fry (3 oz chicken breast with 1-2 cups veggies)
Weigh in numbers will begin this Wednesday!

Day 4 & 5 P90X-Yoga X & Legs/Back/Abs
Yesterday was Saturday February 20th. I had to get up extra early (for a Saturday) to knock Yoga X out so that I could get ready to go with my son to the James Madison University campus tour. The drive is about 2.5 hrs so needless to say I had a loooong day! ;)
Now Back to the Yoga X.....I had not done Yoga X in a long time so I was really feeling it before I was halfway through. I ended up skipping a few of the warrior moves...I believe warrior 3 until around the last vinyasa. Then I continued with the balance poses through the end. I probably did 2/3 of the workout. I will do better next weekend. I think my biggest problem was the fact that I didn't get enough sleep. I didn't go to bed until around 11pm and woke up at 5am...plus my grandson "joined" me during the workout which made it much more difficult to do the poses. :(
My nutrition for Day 4 was pretty good! I packed my snacks and lunch so that I wouldn't be overly tempted to do the fast food thing during/after the campus tour...and I am happy to report that I avoided it! Overall Day 4 was great! :) Oh yeah...I got in a lot of walking during the campus tour...and if you don't know JMU has a lot of hills! :)
Now onto today..Day 5...I actually had to do my workout in the evening (not my favorite time to do them) so I wasn't feeling it as much plus I had lots of distractions with the kids and my grandson playing around me. Our house is small and the play area is the other side of the living room....and the living room is where I workout! LOL I feel that I did a pretty good job with the workout considering I was totally shaking afterwards. I actually drank my Results & Recovery Drink after the Legs & Back...then did the Ab Ripper X workout. I needed that boost to get through!
My food for today was not great...I actually didn't eat enough. I had a great breakfast of 2 poached eggs and some whole wheat toast....but then it was just on the go and busy busy...shopping and cleaning and prepping for Beachbody Home Party. I did close the day with a great dinner...Broiled Cajun Tilapia with some yummy steam veggies. I feel good about the day and I am looking forward to Kenpo X tomorrow morning bright and early at 4:15am.

Day 3 P90X Shoulders & Arms Followed by Ab Ripper X!
Forgot to medicate before bed...my head thought it was trying to ache last night and I meant to take an advil but forgot...so being like I am I woke up and had the same slight headache as last night. Feeling a bit groggy and discombobulated I found my advil and downed a couple of them. Headache was gone within a few minutes! Yaay!
So...I logged onto www.wowy.com and verified my workout for the day...really didn't need to because I knew what I was supposed to do. ;) My hubby had finished his workout by 4am so it was my turn. Pushed play around 4:15am with my grandson keenly watching me. Oh yeah...I did select the Silent with Ques (sp?) option because I have created a descent workout playlist for the time being that I love!
Here I go...I had plenty of umph to get me through the entire workout minus the bonus round. I will pick those up in Phase III. I had to save something for Ab Ripper X ya know!? LOL I had to work around my grandson who almost got clocked a few times because he started wandering around the room. ;) He did try to do some of the workout with me...all I can say is sooo CUTE! :)
I have to admit that my weight selection was much lighter than what I ended with when I finished my first round of P90X last year...but being down and out for the past couple of months will do that to you. My max weight for anything today was 12.5 but I mostly utilized 8 and 10 lbs with more reps. I know I will be back to heavier weights by the end of this round so I am happy to get some burn with the lighter weights! I am thoroughly sore from my previous 2 workouts so I know it is working! :)
Once I finished both Shoulders & Arms then Ab Ripper X, I promptly headed to the kitchen to make my daily foods that I pack in my cooler bag and take to work. Plus I had to first make my recovery drink...but I only had half a serving which is one scoop of powder. I am cutting that back except for Plyo X days when I will have half before and the other half after. :)
Equipment needed:
My daily eats consists of:
1/2 serving Results & Recovery Drink
2 poached eggs
1 cup coffee (black...no sugar or cream)
1 pear
1 serving of Shakeology w/1 serving Van Whey protein
1 can light tuna w/drizzle evoo and balsamic (chopped onions too)
1 serving baby carrots
1 serving (24) raw almonds
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 apple
1/2 cup plain yogurt w/drizzle of agave
6 oz chicken breast
1 cup broccoli
Next week I will start including my weigh in numbers!

Day 2 P90X-Plyo X (recap for Chest/Back/Abs)
Today is Day 2 of my current round with P90X. Yesterday I started this round and had an awesome workout with Chest & Back then Ab Ripper X. I am totally feeling it today...my muscle's muscles ache...abs and all!
Today was Plyo X....I do not care to say that this workout is one of my favorites. For now I will say it is bearable just because I love a good challenge but doing this first thing in the morning on empty is not easy! To make it a little better I woke up at 3:30am and drank half of my Results & Recovery drink then did my best with Plyo X...then finished the second part of my recovery drink. I was really wiped out by the end of this routine!
My nutrition plan is to follow the level I portion plan with P90X. That totals approximately 1800 calories and during Phase I it is very low carb which helps drop the weight faster. Day 2 and I feel pretty good! :) I am currently preparing to have my mid morning snack which will be some cottage cheese and a banana. I will have a lean lunch of deli turkey, carrots and almonds and then for my mid afternoon snack I will drink my Shakeology with some added vanilla whey protein and a few drops of peppermint extract! Dinner is going to be an amazing chicken stirfry...I say amazing because I made some a week ago and it was amazing! LOL The kids loved it too!
My biggest issue with this round of P90X is going to be my right upper arm/shoulder area. I hurt it during a snow shoveling session back in December and it has not completely healed...so the pain becomes more noticeable with some of the moves therefore I have to adjust a little. I have to admit that my arms are my "glamour" muscle area so not being able to work them as hard bugs me a little!
Stay tuned for more updates via this blog....I will do my best to keep up! :)
