    Day 23 done core synergetics!!! and ouch that was hard I watched it before but found it kind of akward but I like the burn and workout felt like it was going to do the job. I wish that was included in more of the schedule instead of recovery week only I would love to switch that with yoga I really don't mind yoga I can do it I just hate the 90 mins it comes with I got things to do and I prefer to work harder not longer lol

    Ok, so its ONLY .4lbs, but its officially .4 lbs that are OFF my body! woohoo! Scale is finally going to start budging for me again :smile: I have hit my calorie goal (Net: 1500) or come super close in the last 3 days, and while I feel like I am constantly eating or planning my next meal, I am thrilled that my body is already taking notice. In fact, this is the first morning that I actually noticed a thinner tummy and possibly a smaller muffin-top as I weighed myself:tongue:

    I did Kenpo yesterday. I am really happy that the workouts seem easier and less intense than they did that first week. They are still challenging, but not to the point where I want to give up.

    Today is Stretch, and I think Im gonna try to add some treadmill time. We'll see how well my daughter cooperates with this plan :happy:

    How is everyone else feeling? Tuesday is Day 30, right? Everyone planning on taking pics and measurements? I know I am!!

    I'm glad you were able to figure out what was going and feeling better about the hard work!!! My end of week is next Thursday but me and the hubby both plan to take pics I know his will be good mines will be around the same going to think long term I got 60 days

    24 - Kenpo. By far the most fun in the program thus far.

    Saturday is only a stretch day. I guess that will make it easy for me to not skip :)

    Ok so I have not done ANY workouts this week since I've been in Tennessee with the family and the only time we've been in the hotel is when it's time to go to sleep. So, I have walked my *kitten* off Monday and Tuesday because it's far easier to walk around in Gatlinburg than it is to drive because of all the people. Yet, Wednesday we went to Pigeon Forge, so we stayed in the car most of the time and I ate horribly that night during a dinner and show. But I did go on the Titanic exhibit they have there that took 2 hours to walk through, so maybe that counted for something. But tomorrow it is back on track and double time. I'm going to try to get in more than one excerise in the next 3 days so maybe I will be caught up.

    i've been the same this week, managed to get out for a run on monday but thats been pretty much it (unless you count running around after 4 kids at a farm for 6 hours on wednesday - i dont think i sat down for more than 1 cup of coffee!)

    so i managed to get in some kenpo today - i too love that one, i'm going to do the stretch tonight though because i think it will be nice to do, i've not done it yet!

    tomorrow i'll do yoga and if i can i'll squeeze a run in and i'll probably run on sunday rather than doing the stretch as once again its a full day out of the house however i'll only be at the inlaws so i can totally go for a run.

    Core synergistics tonight. That is a good work out. Didnt feel like the yoga yesterday so I did the chest and back. love all those push ups. Pull ups.... not so much. But soon I will be able to do a few.
    Lost another pound this week. Really starting to lose the gutt. I had to buy some new shorts today.
    I guess I will post a few measurments on day 30.

    Thanks Ley2!
    Our daughter is a little ham :tongue:

    AWESOME job on the weight loss! 4lbs is a great loss, too!! Woohoooo!!

    I think the Recovery Week was just what I needed to get me refocused and re-excited about P90X. We had birthday parties the last 2 days and were traveling all over the state of Florida, so I didnt get my workouts in, and I didnt eat so great, but I also didnt eat toooo terribly bad that I felt guilty or bad about it. I ate right to my maintenance level, so I didnt feel stuffed or gross. Im learning!:blushing:

    I'm gonna run today, and look forward to getting back to the weights and hardcore workouts this week :bigsmile: Eric and I are going to take measurements on Tuesday. I can tell he's lost several inches, and I'll be surprised if I havent lost ANYTHING, especially around my thighs and tummy. They just "feel" thinner to me :smile:

    Hope everyone enjoys a nice Sunday!

    Starting P90X with my wife tomorrow...looking forward to Day 1. My goal is to lose the burritos and beer I've consumed since college (i.e. 30lbs of fat, barley, and hops)!

    day 27 yoga done. Yesterday I did both day 25 and 26 (core first then stretch).

    I think I pulled a core muscle as well at some point. Noticeable when I move, but not incredibly painful on the right side of my abs..

    As a home brewer, I won't be giving up on the beer. Good luck to you and your wife though!

    yay for phase 2! i'm gonna pick up the slack i've been feeling lately, yesterday (sunday) i went out for a run then cleaned my house like a mad woman to make up the cals (and of course it needed doing whilst the kids were not here)

    today core was a blast but some reason i'm finding the hour workouts a struggle, i'm getting to 30 mins left and i'm finding it hard to get the head to "bring it"

    anyways looking forward to trying out some new workouts! just in time to beat the boredom!

    Thanks for the well wishes. P90X - Day 1 Complete: My HRM indicates 1100 Cal, while my wifes was 716 Cal.??? I took us 1 hour :45 minutes to finish. I kept moving the whole time so I guess 635 Cal/hr. is reasonable. I've marked it as 700 Cal to play it safe.

    What do you guys think?

    We'll hit play on the Ab Ripper this evening...we feel great!!!

    Wow...chest, shoulders, tris and ab ripper is an intense night! All those pushups are killer!
    I'll be honest, there are some that I didnt even attempt because I KNEW I couldnt do a one-armed pushup. I like the tricep moves a lot, and can feel them burning.
    I also could do much more of the ab ripper than I could 30 days ago. I dont do all the reps, and sorta felt like I might break in half at one point...but I will keep trying it. :)

    Today is supposed to be plyo. I like that workout, but I miss running, so I might run today instead.

    We took 30 day pics and measurements.
    Im not excited about my results thus far, but am hopeful to see some changes in the next 30 days. We'll see!

    AWESOME run! I decided to run instead of plyo, too. Feels good to throw the ipod on, watch some HGTV, and zone out while burning calories :)

    agreed! and it feels amazing to be ABLE to do a run aswell as P90x back when i did the shred i wasnt fit enough to throw in a run, so is lovely to loose yourself in the pounding feet!

    P90X Day 30 complete - Treadmill instead of Plyometrics tonight
    Duration: 01:38:44
    Calories: 1055
    Fat Burn: 00:14:06
    Fitness: 01;23:45
    Average HR: 126

    I decided to do a long fast walk on the treadmill tonight instead of Plyometrics.

    The tendon on my left ankle was a little sore this last week and I didn't think all that jumping in Plyo would be a good idea.

    I have flat feet and this weekend I decided to buy one of those Dr. Scholl's orthodic inserts for my shoes. Walmart has one of those computer kiosks that you step on to determine which insert is correct for your feet. Boy, did that make a HUGE difference. I never realized how tired and sore my feet were getting with all this walking and jumping. This inserts make me feel that I can walk forever and never get tired. It only took a couple days of using them for my ankle to nearly stop bothering me and for my feet to feel great!

    Nice work guys ;)
    Great to see committed X'ers. Phase 2 is going to work on endurance - feeling weak after all those pushups?
    Don't be too critical on your apparent lack of progress. Have a friend (better yet, a stranger) compare your before and after pics. They are much more perceptive about progress. Everybody has SOMETHING about their body they want to change, and often can't see past that to their progress.
    Your guys' number look awesome though
    Bring it!
    You could be a Spartan/Amazonian Warrior for Halloween :)

    Hhhmm Chest, Shoulder, Triceps is a big fat drag. Too many gimmicks. I mean you already have to be fit to be able to do the weird exercises. Sorry , One handed push ups. Give me a break There were 5 exercises I didnt even try. thats redilulous. Tony that is not the best workout.
    Now the one I did yesterday, back and biceps was pretty demanding and had some serious calorie burn.

    This is my 3rd round of P90X and I still skip the one handed push ups. When I come to an exercise that I think is too hard or takes more coordination than I have I just do a different exercise that I can do. When they get to one handed push ups, I just do regular push ups instead.
