YVL - welcome and congrats on starting P90X and being in week 2, we all been there so if you have questions do not hesitate to ask
this is a great group of very supportive people.
Jay - you are a BEAST :explode: BooM! You rock it out ninja style and are such a motivation! Way to keep it real and keep it going! Have an AWESOME weekend in the US, it should be a great time, hopefully you can log in so that you maintain your awesome streak! And to let us know how the tour and concert is! That is going to be a blast and quite the whirlwind!
Nikki, Wendy, and Drew - I don't know if I have said this already but thank you SO MUCH for checking up on me.:flowerforyou: Last week I was an epic slacker, I had one to many work functions and so P90X fell by the side for a bit, I did manage a couple of the routines but it was not nearly what I need to be doing to be successful. So thank you guys for saying hi and encouraging me to continue! You are all a great example of the support we have building here.
Nikki - :flowerforyou: No worries if you have off days or an off week the important is that you turn it back on full force and you give it what you've got. We can't change the things we've done we can only change the things we will do. Do your best, life doesn't end after this 90 day stint, we can always add on to the end or start round 2 in the new year! This is a journey to a lifetime of success!
Now for my update....
My arms and chest were JELLO all day, typing seemed a chore because I had to maintain a bent arm for the day! I loved the feeling
knowing that I worked my arms and chest to the point of failure! It was great, and though I was not able to life most things haha I was proud! I love this program and the successes it brings!
Yesterday I needed to jump out to the mall to pick up a new outfit because I have been staying at my parents longer than planned so I didn't have time to get the full Plyo workout in, because I want to be able to do that one in its entirety, I subbed it for the shorter Cardio-X and gave that EVERYTHING I had. I was a puddle by the end of it and felt great! Thank you Tony!!!
Today I am going to miss Back and Bis because I have a work dinner to celebrate my promotion :drinker: so I am going to do that tomorrow with Cardio-X instead of Yoga.
I know you guys are probably getting sick of these types of updates but... When I went shopping yesterday I decided to check what size I am in skirts - I started this journey at a size 8 in skirts, you may remember I bought a size 4 dress (for the guys, the dress sizes are largely based on your top half... just incase me being surprised now is confusing) anyhoo, I went to my favourite store, grabbed a couple skirts - half in 6 and half in 8. Fully expecting that I won't fit nicely in the smaller size I tried it on first to "get it out of the way". I got it up, good start, I started to do the zipper, it did up, EXCELLENT I looked in the mirror... no pulling, bunching or weird curves that are only created when a piece of clothing is suctioning you in!!! :happy: YAY!! It fits! SO I bought it - a skirt, size 6 with a SMALL top!!!
To recap my successes in the past month with the toning and tightening we do here (because it is important when you aren't getting the #s to realize that there are changes, and hopefully to motivate our ladies to keep pushing play):
I started this journey a size 8, pretty much all around. A medium for tops and general items.
Dress size (blouse size) 4
Coat size (general items) X-Small / Small
Skirt size (pant size) 6
:drinker: Yay - thank you TONY!0 -
Sassy GOOD JOB GIRL I love the feeling of buying smaller clothes size and especially when you fit them and look fantastic and I'm sure you do. Best feeling in the world and you know what it makes all those push up pull ups Tony ( sometimes lame joke) yoga( long boring) all worth it
Speaking of yoga I have a confession yesterday I might of skipped 10 minutes of yoga x ( at the end before ohms ) because I had a surprise visitor literally from china at my door step and I had no acknowledge that they were coming and I was completely shocked and had to entertain him ,My uncle . Since it was yoga I didn't beat myself up but I wanted to get that off my chest 0 -
Hello Everyone! Thanks again for all your updates; they are SO inspiring! Especially for me to see since it is my first time doing P90X, and I can see what is in store for me in the coming weeks.
Wendy, your pics are amazing! I wish my abs and back would look like that after only 30 days! Wow.
Sassy...thanks for sharing your NSVs! Really, they mean alot b/c I have not been seeing any improvement on the scale, so to read about you dropping inches and dress sizes is SO encouraging!!
Jay and Drew, thanks for always being so encouraging!
Nikki, I get behind as well. Life will always get in the way sometimes. Just keep pushing play as often as you can!
Good job everybody! I look forward to reading the updates every day.
Have a great week!0 -
Sassy! Congrats on EVERYTHING (promotions, workout triumphs, slimming figure, EVERYTHING!).... The End!
Thanks for everything you do in this group! SO FREAKING MOTIVATIONAL!
Today was Plyo for me... I was thinking about substituting plyo (p90x) for vertical plyo (asylum) to see if I can get a little more burn in. I didnt do it... annnnnnnd by the end of PLYO I was a dripping mess! Great workout... and fun!
Have a great day yall! Bring It! :flowerforyou:
Drew
p.s. Have a great time over here Jay! :drinker:0 -

YVL... Welcome to the group! and thanks for the confession. You clearly rock! Glad to have you on board! :happy:0 -
Hey team, Day 46 for me, Yoga X completed this morning. Felt good to stretch out, and I still feel like I'm improving every time out on Yoga. Good thing, because I have it twice next week! :bigsmile:
Tomorrow is Legs & Back / Ab Ripper, and will be my final resistance workout of phase 2... Then comes recovery week next week!
Hope you're all having a great day!
BRING IT!!!

There are lot of days where I am not sure if I have the courage, the heart, the energy, or the dedication to reach my lofty goals. Not just with fitness, but with every area of life. This life is meant to be great.... YOUR LIVES ARE MEANT FOR GREATNESS TOO!
Everytime I am feeling low.... I watch this video. Watch it today... and put it on your favorites bar if you like it. It pulls me up... just like you guys! BELIEVE!

p.s. have a great evening team X! BooM! :explode:
p.s.s. I am so freaking grateful!0 -
Hello Team X
I completed Chest, Shoulders and Tri and ARX today. It felt a lot better for me today than it did the first time I did it last week, that being said....I HATE PUSH UPS! I did attempt the one armed push ups as T.Horton instructed me to, he said just to try to lower yourself as much as possible. My biggest fear is that I would do a face plant...but I did actually lowered myself without the face plant, it was only a few cenitmeters but I tried, I TRIED!!! As far as the Plyo push-ups...let me just say there was never any space between my hands and the floor.
ARX was not so great....I was feeling very tired all day...just lacking energy, I think it's a lack of carbs. I loaded up on wheat pasta tonight so hoprefully I will be energized for my long run tomorrow.
Drew - My son and I watched your video...you are very right it is extremely inspiring, thanks for posting it!
Jay - I hope you have a great time here in the states.
Sassy - Congrats on all your accomplishments, nothing like a feeling of being able to go down a clothing size!
Tommorow is Friday people....we made through another week!
TEAM X you rock!

Checkin in- Did Yoga yesterday. Plan is to do Legs and Back today, I was getting lazy and thinking of not doing it but after reading some of the posts, I am ready to bring it. Thanks guys for posting, it really motivates me to push play when I am not feeling like doing it.
Drew- the abs are looking good, keep it up my friend!
Have a wonderful weekend y'all!!0 -
Hello Team X,
I ran 7.5 miles this morning but I felt like I was running in mud! My time was terrible but I pushed through and accomplished my goal. I will be doing YogaX tonight and I'm looking forward to it....I never thought I would say that but my body is stiff and I know this will help.
Drew - All I can say is.... IM-PRESS-IVE!!! You should be very proud of yourself, you have worked very hard and deserve to reap some of the benefits of your dedication. You are an inspiration to us all!
No college fottball for me tomorrow :sad: I have a wedding, but I will get in a decent run and legs & back, come hell or high water. I may have to push ARX to Sunday with Kenpo but I'll get it done.
TEAM X have a great weekend!
Make your workout count!

Just finished legs &back. I'm hitting the sack!!!!0

Hey Yal!!!
Where is everyone today???
Day 40... DAY FORTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Let me hear from you guys!
Legs and Back today. I have to admit that I did a lackluster job with this workout. Heres the thing, We have company this weekend. A couple of kids. Ages 10 and 13. I woke up early to get my workout in and SURPRISE, they were awake. So I popped in ab ripper and crushed it, then I popped in legs and back. Heres the rub, the kids starting playing halloween music. Thriller, Men in Black, Ghostbusters, etc... So what do you do when those songs are playing???? You dance of course. So after about 15 minutes of music, I found myself trying to LEARN the thriller dance and completely ignoring Tony H. Looking back at it, I burnt a bunch of calories anyway, but not exactly what the program calls for.
You win some and you lose some I suppose...
I am very excited to only have 50 days left.... almost halfway there! tick tick tick.... BooM! :explode:
Have a great weekend yall! Bring It... LET US KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING!
Drew
p.s. Thanks for all the support on my photos... you guys are the best., The End!0 -

Well I said that I was gonna get in a decent run, do Legs and Back and move ARX to Sunday...I got it all in! I am very pleased with myself! I am even sneaking in the Texas A&M vs Baylor game (Im from Texas so I especially enjoy watching Texas teams going after it). All in all it's been a good day...now off to the wedding!
The weather here in Houston is so nice today....I wish I had more time to hang outdoors!
Drew- I wish you would make a video of your 80's style dancing....lol
Jay - I hope you are having a wonderful time here.
YVL93 - Good Luck on your walk tomorrow!
Everyone else have a great weekend!
Make your workout count!

Hey everyone!!! Great job getting your workouts in guys/gals!! I can feel the motivation of this group!
Drew, your abs are looking killer man, keep it up!
Kenpo X today for day 48. Feeling good today, and had a great session.
Hope you're all having a good weekend, and BRING IT!!!
-Mike0 -
I got in Kenpo X between the Michigan State vs Michigan game and the Georgia vs Vanderbilt game. I'm getting upset with the Georgia game, so I thought I'd do a drive-by check-in.0

Hey-O . I did chest back and abrx today . i had/ have a stomach ache but still got through it now i hope that sleep and water will take care of the ache cause i have a long day tomorrow. Good job everyone for getting their P90x IN especially during the weekend when people got other things to do. But you guys are awesome.
BRING IT and GOOD NIGHT0 -
Good morning everyone. Today marks the end of Phase I. Yeah! No visual results from this 4 weeks, actually gained 3 lbs. I know, it's muscle but still kinda of discouraging when seeing the results of Drew, Wendy and Jay. However, my primary purpose for starting this program was to jump start into a certain level of fitness and in that realm there are definite results! Went from using 5lb weights for most sets to 20 lb, doing 1 pushup to 10 and from laying through a good portion of ARX whimpering to pretty much keeping up with them. I "currently struggle" with chin ups and probably will through the end, but I keep trying. Really going to bring it in Phase II, have been informed my husband will be home at the end of Phase II (he wasn’t due to be back until I was done, and I haven't seen him for 430+ days) so the pressure is really on to see some movement on the tape or scale. But seeing what I can accomplish in 30 days I am very curious/anxious to see the results at 60! So bring it on… I'm ready!
Also, thank you for posting your trials and tribulations with sticking with this program. I know it has been said many times, but seeing all your struggles and accomplishments helps so much. This program really is 90% mental. If you get to the point of pushing play, you can't help but give it your all, it's just getting to the point of sticking the DVD and there you guys rock. Thank you.

Hey Yall!!! Only 49 days left!
I just wanted to pop in really quick to let everyone know that I played football today... and my legs are killings me! Its gonna be rough pushing play tomorrow, but I will do it.
Keep it up guys... You can do it!
I hope you had a fantastic saturday... life is so good!
Drew :explode:
p.s. thanks for checking in barel... You are doing a fantastic job!
p.s.s. Check in tomorrow yall... Im interested to see how everyone did this weekend!0 -
Hey team!
This past weekend was another tough one in terms of getting all my workouts in - I did my best and ended up with Legs and Back and Kenpo but no doubles to make up for Thursday and Friday. We celebrated our third thanksgiving on the weekend with my mothers side so I was slow moving for a while.
This week I am back in full swing. I have hockey tonight and because it is not a super late game I will be full of energy for tomorrow MORNING'S Check, Shoulder and Tri workout that we all love so much. I am looking forward to weak arms all day - I am glutten for punishment so I have joined my neighbor in her preparation and training in the C25k and have ear-marked my second lhalf marathon for next April. Winter running is never a fav for me but both myself and cubby puppy could use the additional activity.
Have a great rest / Stretch day and enjoy life!0 -
Hello all,
I just wanted to check in to say I SEVERELY blew my diet this weekend.
I am still very bummed that I had zero self discipline on Saturday and Sunday. I did get Plyo in on Saturday, but nothing on Sunday. I am hoping this will not hurt my progress too much. I definitely gained some pounds on the scale.
This is recovery week for me, and then I will be done with Phase 1. I am hoping I can get some extra cardio workouts in this week so that I will not feel so bad. I am NOT looking forward to the check in with my measurements at the end of the week.
Take care everybody.0 -
Hey yall!
Well... These are my last 5 days before my final weigh in. The competition is going pretty well, Im not sure how I measure up with the other compeitors, but just knowing i am in this competition gave me enough motivation to reach my goal weight around day 45. Ill be within 1 -2 lbs of the original goal of 170 by friday.
For obvious reasons, Im not taking a rest day until Saturday.
I played football yesterday and subsequently endured a couple of minor injuries. A slightly sprained ankle, a knee to the thigh causing pretty extreme soreness, and some right knee pain that I have no idea where it came from. I originally had kenpo X scheduled for today, but my ankle wasnt really going for it. I had trouble getting up and down the stairs at school this morning, so I decided to do chest shoulders and tris with AX instead. This will allow my legs to a chance heal up (hopefully).
My body is hurting, so the workout was tough. i pushed through and increased a bunch of the numbers. But there were some tricep and push up numbers that I could not beat. I really did "do my best" though... So i feel good about the work I put in this afternoon. Now its off to work...
Mrs Booker... No need to beat yourself up. You are still doing great, just give 100% on your workouts this week (just like you always do!) Bring IT!
Sassy... You sure are one heck of an athlete! Hockey too??? Wow... you are the shizzzzzz...
Have a great afternoon everyone...
Check in with us!

Hey team!
Phase 2 Recovery Week is underway for me, kicked off with Yoga X this morning for day 50 overall. Did my X Stretch yesterday to wrap up week 7. Lost another pound as of yesterday's weigh-in, making 71 pounds overall since the 1st of the year, and 9 pounds since starting P90X. I'm very close to my "goal" range which I think will be in the 170-175 area. Not sure exactly where my weight will end up, but more importantly I want to get my body fat percentage in the 9-10% area. I know I'm going to have to do another round in order to get there since I'm currently in the 13-15% area, depending on how I measure. We'll see how much that moves in Phase 3 (maybe I can get down to 11 or 12 in the third phase??) and then I'll decide what to do from there. But I know it will involve another round, maybe with some modifications like subbing in some Insanity workouts instead of the regular P90X cardio.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing great today, and BRING IT!!!!!
