Teena: Have fun with your grandson and Kenpo+. How wonderful to teach him the importance of fitness!
Tiff: Good for you in getting the workouts in while out of town. That can be so difficult.
It was Yoga and Ab Ripper for me today. I dread yoga for some reason, but it felt so good!!!!!
My daughters are spending the night with their grandmother, so I am off to buy some wine for myself and to cook dinner for my dh and myself. We don't have a night at home alone very often. :smooched:0 -
Hey Everyone! Sorry I did not post last night. Last night I did P90X Legs & Back workout. It was the BEST Legs & Back I have ever done! I had a personal best and did (both rounds combined) 32 unassisted chin-ups. My max prior to that was 10! I have never been able to do an overhand unassisted pull-up and I did 6 wide front pull-ups, 9 closed grip overhand pull-ups and 8 switch grip pull-ups, all unassisted!
Tena
That is awesome!!! WTG on your PB workout!

Hope you enjoyed your time w/ your dh tonight! I'm not a huge yoga fan, but I do feel better when I do it!

Hello Hello!! I didn't post last night because my bf and I are at his sister's house this weekend. I did the poly for the 1st time! Only got half way through before I totally died!!
I didn't make an excuses and found a time and place to do it (10 PM in the kids' playroom... Used one there "life size" barbie dolls for the exercise to raise my legs up and over....no joke!!! lol!) :glasses: Next week my goal is to get through more than 3/4 of it!
I am going to do the shoulders and arms with the ab ripper X today (even though my shoulders KILL from Thursday workout!! LOVE IT!!
) Will likely have to wait till they go to bed so I can use there playroom again.
Keep up the great work everyone!
Tiffany :flowerforyou:
Hahaha, that's very funny that you used a lifesize barbie for Plyo!! Great job getting through halfway! I remember when my brother first did Plyo, he called me and said he could only make it through the warmup. :laugh: It took him about a month, but he was sooo happy when he made it through the whole workout! (but couldn't hardly walk the next day! :laugh: )

Wow, I hope I can stay as focused as you guys seem to be. I just ordered the program today. I've been going to the gym, working out isn' the problem, my eating habits are terrible. My daugher and Grand-daughter live with us. I hope I can make the time to stick to the program, finding time isn't easy around here. I love the way I feel when I'm in shape. Other wise I feel like crap, and have no energy. Looking at some of the pictures sure gives inspiration.
Good luck as you start your program. Nutrition is a big part in it, so get ready to lose the junk and eat clean! Let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you all had lovely weekends.
Chest, shoulders, tri for me this a.m. My upper arms feel like jello, it's even hard to type

Hey Everyone! Well this week, I am in Phase 3 Recovery Week. This will be the end of Round 5 on the X. Tonight I did 1 on 1 Road Warrior! It was a great workout! I burned 436 calories in that one hour workout and really felt the burn in my arms, chest and back. Tomorrow I am doing the brutal 1 on 1 Plyo Legs. I just love that workout and burn in your butt and legs!!!
Sounds like everyone is doing excellent with their workouts! Be proud of yourself.
Tena0 -
Good morning! 423 calories gone thanks to Plyo! :happy:
Have a great day, girls, BRING IT!0 -
Good morning!
wow! So many new people!
Sorry for being MIA!!!
I took a week off because of my cold.
I did Cardio X yesterday and shoulders/bi/tri today - I am barely alive after that. :laugh:
I am glad for Lora in that DVD - she is close to my age and doing push-ups in a simplified/easy way, that makes me feel better. Today was the first time for that work out, so I did not do a a perfect job of it, still learning and not getting too ambitious.
I have a bit of a problem with my right elbow and very mindful of it. I am hoping that by doing things less intensely I'll be able to strengthen it, without doing too much harm. I am really hopeful.
Also, by taking some time off I realized that I was not eating enough and probably sabotaging my recovery. I am going to stay with 1800 calories as advised, but going to ease up on proportions of carbs.
The reason for that is that when I don't eat enough carbs, I get stopped up
:smooched: I am sure I will offend some peoples sensibilities, but at the same time more people will say they are in the same boat as me.
OK, even though it is a holiday and I am not at work, I cannot relax...tying the loose end of renovation and planning my life for the rest of the year!!!
Hope all of you are staying strong but smart and flexible!!!

Hi Jenny and gang.
I am feeling like I need a bit more accountability for my nutrition at this time. For some reason I am in a bit of a funk and have eaten REALLY poorly today and had more than my share of cookies yesterday.
I am currently in the middle of week 8 of X+.
Can I join you all?
I need help:huh:
Licia0 -
Welcome back, Jenny! Sorry to hear you were sick, but glad you are feeling better. :flowerforyou:
Licia, welcome. I stay within my calories, but I do not follow a "clean" diet, as of yet. So nutrition accountability would be good for me also.0 -
Hi, Licia!
Cookies? Bad girl!! I( feel like I know you so just fooling around with you)
While sick I was a bit in a disarray with food. there was a few days when all I felt like eating was ...bagels !
Couple of time I felt as if I had morning sickness and almost reached for pickles and icecream!!! shishhhh....very weird...
It was ar-mazing to me, because while I can eat a lot, I don't crave carbs!
I am back to my normal taste now, but I admint - I need to shake up my cooking a bit.
On top of it, I think I forgot how to cook during renovation
Anywhooooo, I am back and will do my best to stay with it and improve as I go....
Oh, wow...the day went by real fast...
I've done a lot done, but just now taking a break.
My area rugs are back on the floor, and it feels like home again!!!!
I was even singing some opera area in Russian,I think from Marriage of Figaro, and man's one, as usual....I don't know why I always remember those!!! Ar-mazing I tell you!!!!0 -
Glad that you are back to being yourself... and no worries you can tease me all that you want:happy:
I can't believe that I ate cookies nor can I believe what I ate today.
Renovations? Please share with me what you did. Was it your kitchen?
Do you got pics from before and after?
I am a reno junkie:bigsmile: I watch all the home shows that I can:laugh:
Licia0 -
Thanks for the welcome 515!
I usually stay within my calories and ratios, and 99% of the time I eat clean, I just feel as though I am having a bit of a hard time at the moment.
When I clicked here and started looking around I figured that this may be a great place for support outside of BB Boards.
As I said " I need all the help that I can get":bigsmile:0 -
Licia - I want to forget renovations exist!!!!!
still need to get over this one...
we re-did our kitchen and converted our English basement into a walk-in apartment.
several weekends in the row I keep washing and washing and sorting and moving things around, and I am still not done! Thanksgiging is around the conver - I need to be ready for the family get-together!
Everybody seems to want to come and see my new kitchen etc, so I am under pressure to get this ship in tip-top shape!!!
I thought I would change the couches that I bought from Macys 10 years ago, but now we don't feel like spending money too freely in the light of all that's going on and I think I will wash the pillow cases yet again....agr...that will take up half-of my next weekend...bugger!!!! The sains don't wonna came off either...
Sorry, I am venting, but I am happy I am back and feel chatty!
OK, ladies and occasional gents - have a great night!!!!!0 -
Good Morning Gang! I am waking up and planning my meals. I do this every day and I usually only eat what I have planned, as I said before I had a hard time the past two days doing this, Please wish me luck and if I have a moment when I feel the "urge" I will come here first:bigsmile:
Today I have Shoulders and Arms along with ARX, I haven't done this one for weeks and wonder how I will do...hopefully I can pull my 15's for curls:happy:
Licia0 -
Jenny it sounds like you made some great home improvements.
I hope that they all bring you plenty of joy after this period of aggravation.

Morning!
I woke up and did Yoga X!!!
Today I really enjoyed upward dog - I felt a lot of pent up stiffness in my lower back.
I could tell I did a lot of good to alleviate that. I did not do venyasas the way the man and the "kids" were - I am giving my elbow a break!!! I am sharing this with you, so especially those who struggle with Yoga know that you don't have to do everything - feel free to modify and skip a venyasa, or two
It is not a sin!!!!
Generally in US the move to make Yoga into all-encampusing exercise is very wide spread. Yoga is first and foremost, in my view, for flexibility and balance, breathing and relaxation - not how many push-ups you do. Hope this will make you like Yoga X more :smooched:
I wish Tony was yupping less though :laugh:0 -
Hello! This is a great thread!0

Licia!
Great thing on planning your meals.
I cooked for a week so I can just mix and match: turkey with green beans or pork with swiss chard, stuff like that...a little blend, but safe as far as calories.
I need to jazz it up a bit, and I will soon. Still getting used to my new kitchen.
I noticed that occasionally our bodies/or minds go into revolt and reject the routine. Hard to understand why, but the usual suspects are PMS, stress or boredom.
Takes a lot of though to figure out.
How is your son doing, Licia?0 -
My son is going to be a dad in April, which means I get to be a Grandma:happy:
We were not expecting this to happen so soon, but we are really excited about it:bigsmile:
Got in Shoulders and Arms, plus ARX and when I feel the urge to pick up some unclean food, I start to do other activities that I have been putting off...like rearrange my office and go through paperwork and now I am working on pictures:bigsmile:
Have a great one!

Hello all! Congratulations on the grandbaby on the way, Licia!
I overslept this morning, didn't even hear the alarm. I think over a week without sunshine is taking its toll on me ::yawn: My students had a very rough day, also: tattling, arguing, just outright naughty, :explode: which is very out of character for my bunch this year.
Anyhow, I came home and worked out the grumpies with Back and Biceps, and ARX. I feel GREAT! Not very hungry, but I know I need to eat something good. Maybe a spinach salad with grilled chicken breast!0 -
Licia!
Congrats on your news!!! WOW!
My son is turning 21 this month... maybe in 2-3 years I'll catch up to you
TechN - spinach and chiken salad - yummm!
I did OK on food today, but I think I have a few too many apples....0 -
Good morning! Kenpo X for me. I switch this with Yoga. I prefer to do Yoga on the weekends.
Bring it, ladies!0 -
Good morning!!!
I so wanted to get my WO in this morning, but last night someone scheduled an early morning meeting and I had to rush out the door like a march hare!!!!
I am po-ed!
I am trying to get it under control though - can't expect the world be flexible.
But, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
OK, OK, I am calming down...
My pants are feeling tighter....hmmm....I wonder why. Tony does not work legs as much as Debbie does, that's for sure...
I am a bit scared about that...
My thoughs are pretty huge and get soft very quickly...0 -
Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't been around but I got hit with a stomach virus. I was fine all day Tuesday and then on the way home my stomach starting twisting and knotting up. I got home and changed and put the 1 on 1 Plyo legs in. It was brutal and ugly. I would do one exercise, pause lay on the floor, get back up and do it all over again. I got to the last 3 and finally just shut the dvd player off. That is when the throwing up started. I was in bed ALL day yesterday! It was awful. I have not been sick like that in over 10 yrs.... I lost a whole day!!! Of course, I could not workout last night! This morning I felt fine but the weirdest thing, I have a rash from my neck to right below my breasts. It is awful and I cannot figure out where it is coming from! The men I work with think it is the Starkist Tuna Lunchkit I had on Tuesday and it is a reaction. I don't know if that is it, but you will not see me eating any more tuna for a long time.
Well tonight I have Yoga X. That should feel good....
Tena0 -
Hi, Tina - nice to meet you!
That rush makes me really concerned. I am not the one to run to the doc every time I sneeze, but rush is something I would not ignore. That's my 5c.0 -
How's the x treating you Jenny? you won't regret it, I'm going to pickup p90x plus this month too.
Keep pushing play, God bless0 -
hi!
X is tough, my life is full of ups and downs.
but I am hanging in there..
Today is real bad, hope tomorrow is better0 -
Sorry that you had a not so good day yesterday....hope that you have a much better on today!
Licia0
