    Day 11 in the books. Pulled a double to make up for Plyo thursday. Did that this morning and ROCKED IT. I think the difference was I ate breakfast and waited 2 hours rather then last time doing it after work and having a protein bar right before. I didn't have to stop and only did a couple modified moves.

    Just got done with Yoga and I didn't sweat as much this time and I wonder if that's because I waited for about 4 hours between ... Last week I did a hike then came home and did yoga within the hour of coming home. I guess we will see next week!

    I can't wait for tomorrow!

    P90X Lean Day 14: X Stretch rest day

    Today is a scheduled rest day. Will just be doing the 60 minute X Stretch DVD. And once again, I really need it, lol. Sore all over, but especially the glutes.

    Lost 1.5lbs since last week, also lost 1/2" around the belly button waist since last week.

    I really wasn't feeling it yesterday. I skipped Kenpo X and took the day off. I really love the Kenpo workout, but I just knew I wasn't in the mood. This morning, I woke up early, so I started the day off right, and I went to the gym. I did a short workout, and I might do Kenpo later today too.

    I also had a small smile today. I tried on a skirt that I have had in my closet for awhile. It's a size 6 petite (I'm short....what can I say?) and it fit perfectly. :-)

    Isn't closet shopping the BEST?! Also it gives you motivation to keep pressing play!

    I am not going to measure again until day 30 but I did measure after my first complete week and I had taken a 1/2 inch off of some areas in just one week. I love this program!

    I have a pile of pants (jeans and dressier pants) as my Motivational Pile. On the top of the pile are a pair of pants that I can fit into but are too tight to wear comfortably, then under that a pair I can just barely fit into and is way too tight to wear, and on the bottom of the pile a pair that I can't button at all (yet).

    Since I started watching what I eat and exercising back on Sept. 4th, that pile has gotten smaller and smaller, and the pile I can wear comfortably has gotten bigger :D

    That's awesome! I WISH I hadn't gotten rid of my too small jeans. I found the donation slip today and I had gotten rid of everything in July ... big mistake but then again at that time I didn't know I COULD lose the weight so I had sorta given up. Now with MFP and P90X I would have had to donate those clothes anyway LOL. I counted my pairs of Jeans in Size 12 ... 15 pairs ... yikes. Thankfully many of them I got on sale at Old Navy so I won't be so sad to get rid of them when the time comes. I swear I am NEVER going to be that size again ever.

    I don't think I have ever owned 15 pairs of jeans at one time before, lol.

    The pair on the bottom of the pile is a pair of Bugle Boy jeans, waist 32", that I haven't been able to wear for many many years. I was finally able to button up a pair of waist 33" jeans this morning, and that felt great. Ways to go yet before I can wear them for longer than a couple minutes though :D Felt good to be able to put on (however briefly) a waist size smaller than my 34" inseam again.

    I am just soooo happy that we all remember the 80s... I remember when the 60s made a comeback and my Mom was thrilled to "help" me be authentic.... and now... our hayday is nostalgia...at least we are in this together...

    12 down ... I did ARX first and I think I am going to keep doing that. The V's at the end I did 12 this time and the balance was side plank obliques, getting there! Still not doing the jumpy bit during the last lunge thingies but I am doing all of them. I got thru the groucho's this time ... all in all LEGS/BACK DONE ... bring on Kenpo X and hopefully my "white girl lack of coordination" isn't as bad as it was last week!

    Karincakes--I am feeling better and my show was awesome, thanks! Where are you going on vacation?

    Just finished Kenpo, and it is way fun. I should be back on track for next week now that the sickies are 95% out of me!

    My legs are furious with me, though. As it turns out, I probably shouldn't go for a 50 minute run on the same day as legs/back. This is a new kind of torture!

    On the bright side, the weight gain I was whining about last week seems to have evened out. So that's good!

    Happy day 14, and here's lookin' forward to week 3! Bring it!

    P90X Lean Day 15 Core Synergistics:

    Once again, Bow to Boat and Superman to Banana are still hard for me, but once again did better than last week. I added more reps and more weight to most of the exercises and ended up with a lower avg BPM than last weeks 154 BPM with a 140 BPM AVG today.

    I'm glad I'm writing down my reps and weights used and keeping track of my heart rates, 'cause it didn't feel like I was doing any better this week. But the numbers show otherwise :)

    Burned ~550 cals over 65 minutes

    Some Stats:

    140 BPM AVG
    182 BPM MAX
    16% of the time spent between 162-180 BPM
    33% 144-161
    24% 126-143

    Holy snow Batman! It's really coming down out there today.... at least where I am at. This makes me so glad P90X is something I do indoors! :-)

    Chest/Back and ARX is complete and guess what... I actually LIKED it... yes, I said that... I LIKED it... (not loved... but maybe one day I will learn to!) :bigsmile: In week three I have almost tripled my performance. I am really, really happy about that... I can actually do a few dive bombers... this coming from the girl who had little to no upper body strength.

    Hey everyone! Glad to see everyone is doing great! I start P90X Day 1 today (secound round of 90 days). Looking forward to see how much improvement I can make over the 90 days.
    Overall results from first round were 25 lbs lost, 2.5 inches off of my waist! Went clothes shopping and dropped from a size 14 to a size 10 (with a little wiggle room!!) That was very nice!!!
    Hoping to lose my next 25 lbs over the next 90 days and get down to a size ???
    1350 calorie intake is working very well for me!
    Good luck everyone!

    Howdy all, I just started P90X this morning. This is my first time doing it. I was a little scared I wasn't going to be able to hang this morning, but I did better than I thought I would.
