You guys would have laughed so flippin hard when I did Yoga yesterday. The Crane, I think it is, the one where you put your legs on your arms and balance on your hands, sorta like a handstand, anyway, I fell flat on my face. HAHAHA! All the while Tony is in the background saying, "If you feel like you're going to fall, fall backwards, fall to your feet." And here I land right on the side of my face lol! Thankfully no one was watching! I thought for sure I had broken my wrists in the process, but they feel good today

I didn't do that, but the first couple of times i was doing prayer squat on the Kenpo X workout, I took a pretty good tumble. I was laughing so hard, my wife got out of bed and came to check on me. I was just sitting on the floor laughing my butt off. My wife got a pretty good chuckle out of it too!0 -
Just finished my core workout and it kicked my butt just like I thought it would haha! Pretty good calorie burn though.
Keep it up everyone! Pretty soon we'll done.....then we can all start round two

Dont feel bad - I once fell on my face doin Divebombers but because my hands were trapped under me I literally couldnt get up until I moved -- so I had a bit of rug burn on my chin!0 -
I did not do Plyo today -- because I ran 4.5 miles instead. I have this problem getting any leg exercises in because of my intense running schedule. Last week I did half of Legs and Back the day before a race and although my legs were sore the next day .. it was the day after the next day that killed me.
As you can see below I am training for half marathons... making it hard to stick to the schedule as written, so I have modified it a little bit ... so dont get too confused if it seems like I am doing weird things.
Next week is my first recovery -- I have not done Yoga X yet .... I am excited to finally have the time to try it!0 -
I'm not really looking foward to my 30 day pics either, to be honest with you. BUT...I do want to see what kind of changes have taken place since day one. For that, I am excited!!! Like I said before, I'm not expecting drastic changes, but I'm expecting some kind of changes.
NOW....core synergistics!! OH MY!!!!!!!!!!
Yes...this thoroughly kicked my *kitten* into next week! If you don't feel that after you're done...you didn't so it right!!!0 -

So I have a question for everyone...
How many people are following the nutrition guide for the program? I was talking with my coach the other day and he was looking at my numbers here. He said I should increase my protein content and lower my carb intake. He said my current diet was more inline for the third phase. So I went back and looked at the nutrition guide again. I can see why he told me to increase my protein intake. I also ran the numbers again and the nutrition guide said I should be consuming about 2700 calories a day, which is almost double of the calories I'm consuming now.
So now, should I up my caloric intake, or stay the same? I understand the theory behind the P90X nutrition guide, and from everyone who I've talked to, they swear that the nutrition aspect is EXTREMELY important, especially in the fat burning stage.
So any thoughts?0 -

I'm following the nutrition guide...I think...lol. I just went in and put the percentages into the 'Custom' thing. Funny thing is that before P90X I was on a low carb diet and with P90X I get to eat a whole heck of alot more carbs! YAY!
From my own research and my own experience, if I eat alot of carbs I don't lose weight or inches. So I have learned to cut them back. So for myself, the less carbs the better.
I also don't eat 1800 cal/day like the guide wants, since I find that to be a ridiculous amount of food for me. I do eat back most of my exercise calories though. In fact since I'm only 'allowed' 1200/day I use it as my motivation.....so I can eat! lol
If you feel good at your current calorie goal then I wouldn't change it. I would make sure to eat back your exercise calories though
If you are feeling tired and hungry all the time then I would add some more calories and see how you feel after a week or two.
Hope anything I said helps lol. 0 -
I didn't do Stretch today
I think I may be getting sick as I just wasn't feeling it today. I did do my cardio, but I feel like I didn't even make an effort I sure hope everyone is having a much better day than I am lol. 0 -

That does help....it makes common sense. I guess what I'm concerned about is reaching a plateau with my weight loss. Last week I lost one pound and this past week I didn't lose anything. Maybe I should be so concerned about it, but I am....0 -

I reached a plateau (had been gaining and losing the same pound since Feb. lol) so I figured I had nothing to lose and started eating back my excercise calories. That was on Saturday or Sunday I think, when I made that decision, and I've lost nearly 3 lbs since then! I don't know if that's what did it for sure or anything, but that's what happened
I've finally just settled into the thinking that this is not a 'diet' but a 'life style change'. So I asked myself a few things...like...would i only want to eat 1200 cal for the rest of my life???? Not a chance! So I exercise so I can eat more and I do EAT MORE! And when I reach my goal either I'll get a new goal or change my settings in here to 'maintain my weight'.0 -

That is a great way to put things into perspective. I guess I'm just afraid of gaining weight. But maybe as long as I'm working out everyday, things will be ok.0 -
