    Today should be my rest day but I'm doing Kenpox because I chose to watch Inception with my boy over working out last night.
    Keep up the good work guys! =))

    I'm getting ready to head to the grocery store and wondered if anyone has any really simple dinner ideas for Phase 1? The best I can come up with is shrimp or chicken stir-fry. A few of the recipes in the Nutrition Plan look okay but the ones that have a ton of ingredients intimidate me. I'm also wondering about the protein bar - any in particular I should look for or avoid?

    Thanks!

    Day 8, Chest & Back, complete. I can definitely tell that I'm stronger, though. Not only can I feel new muscles in my triceps (oddly, mostly just my right arm.. uh oh.), but I did 10 (!!!) divebombers in Round 1 before collapsing. Diamond push up are still so hard, but I'm proud of my accomplishment :):)

    lovewillon -- there's a recipe in the nutrition guide that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I can't remember the name, but it's a sandwich using Italian focaccia bread, zuchini, yellow squash, and mushroom. It tastes delicious! I've been using feta cheese with it. Great taste and super healthy. Pair it with some grapes or blueberries and something else and it would make for a simple and really quick dinner... or great lunch :)

    It's already 9:35pm and I haven't worked out! But I have two papers due tomorrow...so I think a late workout will be the perfect break in between the school work. lol Feeling a little sore today, but so motivated.

    What does everyone love and hate about p90x?

    I absolutely love Tony's silly attitude and the fact that I'm finally incorporating strength into my routine.
    I hate that every workout is an hour(although it does fly by!). =/

    Hi All! Can I join in? I am a 44 year old married mom of 2 teenagers. I started doing Power 90 in May last year, and followed it with P90 Master Series. When I finished that in November, I just kept doing it, but slacked off a bit in December, and gained back a few pounds of the 30 that I had lost. I started P90X on January 2nd. I was dreading it because I thought it was going to be too hard. Well, I frickin' LOVE it! I don't know what I was so afraid of. P90 & P90 MS really prepared me well.
    There are days that I really have to push myself to start, but once I do, I'm good. Failure is NOT an option. I have told EVERYONE & their mother that I'm doing this just so I don't back down.
    Good luck!

    I am starting week 3 today. I have to say I like many of the workouts but it is hard to find the time everyday. I am starting a class tomorrow and have no idea if I will find the time or have the energy when I get home.

    I also keep watching the time on the tv, it would almost be better if it wasn't there. Tony is growing on me.

    Day 9 Plyo finished! My endurance is getting better, but I still wasn't able to finish everything. Room to improve!

    I like Tony's constant talking and his humor. Love Kenpo. The push ups are growing on me :) but plyo is not... haha.

    I'm starting p90x again as well on Friday. This week and part of last, I'm getting back into my general exercise with some Cardio Max, treadmill, and other bootcamp like DVDs that are about 20-30 min + walking/running so I'll be in a better position to get through the DVDs. I did great starting out last October but by around mid-November, life got too hectic, I was sick for about a month, yada yada yada...excuses. Anyway, ready to get back on track and people have mentioned doing the Classic instead of the Lean, so I'm going to go for it AND log my food, which I didn't do last time around. So I may be posting here if you don't mind to keep me accountable.
