So continuing the theme of "Don't break the chain" I thought we could all post in this thread each day as we complete our workout and/or nutrition goals for the day.

I need to catch up for yesterday.

Started P90X 9/10/12.

Day 1 Chest & Back + Ab ripper Done. Followed the P90X nutrition guide with a slight variation on my salad since I purchase it from the work cafe.

Day 2 Plyometrics done. On track with the same diet as yesterday but today instead of the mushroom omelet recipe from the nutrition guide I ate the protein shake.

Two days down only 88 to go!!

    Yesterday was my second week - chest and back
    Today - Some serious hiking
  • To catch up - yesterday I did Ab Ripper X first.. no shoes, paused when needed to get each single rep in. Did Chest & Back later in the day.. I printed the worksheets for the last time for this year and plan on filling in every single line this time around!

    Today - Plyometrics done! Was DEFINITELY feeling the soreness in the abs today. But in a good way. ;)

    I started officially this week, but have tried most of the workouts while doing ChaLean Extreme over the past 3 mo. This week I have done Chest and Back, Plyo, and Kempo. I plan to stick with 3 strength training workouts per week. I am not planning on doing yoga or taking rest days but plan on my own cardio those days. I am not sure if that is enough to join a group for accountability, but I am in if my modified version "counts!"
  • To Catch up- yesterday I did Core syn. and today I did Cardio X not following the nutrition guide but eating generally healthy is my goal.

    I am also doing the tree strent training workouts a week but doing my own cardio. I get bored easily so have to go outside plus I like to mix it up, ie; power walk, hike and jog.

    P90 X arm and back Done. Will be getting to Ab Ripper this evening.:smokin:
  • Today was day three of the Lean phase: Shoulders and Arms & Ab Ripper. I also put in 30 minutes on my elliptical right afterwards.

    I find this phase to be a much-needed break from ALL plyo moves. Coming directly from Insanity, my knees needed a nice long break. :-)

    Just finished week 3 Shoulders Arms and Ab Ripper.

    Tried Plyo barefoot yesterday for the first time after seeing some posts on MFP recommending it. My legs felt "fresher" after I was done, then they did when I wore sneakers. I usually do all the workouts barefoot except for Plyo, Legs and Kenpo. I'll try the other 2 barefoot later in the week. Has anyone else done these workouts barefoot?
  • Finished shoulders and arms for today of the lean version. Had some serious problems completing Ab ripper my abs are still so sore from mondays core syn:ohwell:

    I had issues with Ab Ripper too. Wow....didn't know I couldn't do floor sit ups STILL, after all these years. I have work to do so you're not alone. :-)

    Way to go everyone who posted today.

    I completed shoulders & arms + Ab ripper bright and early this morning. My body is starting to feel pretty damn sore but I knew that would happen the first week or two.

    Pretty much ate the same as yesterday so nutrition is on track!

    Day 3 done. 87 to go :)
  • Just got my disc's in the mail yesterday. My fiancee and i won't be starting till next thursday unfortunately but i'm pumped about starting i've started the diet already. Going good so far.

    The_Dude. Not really doing doubles. I am more or less doing a Hybrid version with traditional lifting on M,T,TH,Fri. Saturdays is X-Cardio and Wed will switch between Kenpo-X and Plyo every other week. I will do X-stretch quite often. I dont feel that is an actual workout more like maintenance.

    I use JEFIT PRO to log my lifting workouts and Endomondo with a Zephyr HXM for MR and Kcal burn.

    Today I did Upper2. Here is the logs

    regular pushups 10
    BB squat 98x5 98x5 98x5 (these are just for warmup. I use whatever my warmup weight was on my lower days)
    BB Bench Press 98x10 128x5 128x6
    BB Bent over row 128x6 128x5 128x8
    BB OHP 68x5 78x5 78x5
    BB Curl 80x8 80x8
    Bench Dip 25x12 25x15
    DB lat raise 25x8 25x10
    DB fly 50x8 50x10 40x10
    Pushup on exersice ball 10

    All in all a good workout for me. My shoulder is not hurting as bad as I thought. Burned 634 Kcals in 63 minutes

    I will probably do X-Stretch tonight again.... Tomorow is Lower2 and Deads( I love doing deads)
  • Sept 13: Yoga X (90 minutes) and Elliptical (65 minutes)

    Wow. I didn't even know it would be like that. Crazzzzyyyyyyyy! The first 30 minutes was tough because of the stress on my right knee from the floor moves. I had to back off on a lot of that until we moved on. Then, I was good to go.

    It DOES take some getting used to, especially if you're not that flexible.

    Did Yoga X bright and early this morning. It was brutal on my already sore legs. Tomorrow being leg day is gonna be tough!

    But hey 4 days down!! Only 84 more to go :)

    Nutrition was on track until I did some research tonight. Turns out the salad I've been using is way not inline with my nutrition goals. I'm going to have to figure out something else. But my breakfast, snacks, and dinner were right inline with the nutrition plan.

    Today was legs and back for me. Man I hate those sneaky lunges:grumble: Week 2 completed and on to week 3 on sunday.:drinker:
  • Today was Legs and Back, Abs Ripper, and my elliptical. I actually hit the floor sit ups today so that means I'm improving. Still working on those chin ups with the bar though. Gonna take a minute to get two good ones in.

    Glad to see peeps keeping with it!

    Day 5 legs & back + ab ripper is a distant memory :)

    Foot was a bit more challenging. Salad at lunch wasn't quite big enough calorie wise so I got really hungry before I got a chance to eat dinner. Man the cravings for chocolate and sugary goodies really hits hard when I let myself get to hungry lol. I persevered though.

    Did Leg back and Abs last night - Didn't get a chance to post.

    Tried it barefoot and the lunges hurt my feet too much. Wouldn't recommend it.

    I hate the one legged wall squats most of all!

    Just finished Kenpo to end week 3.

    Have too many school / work events coming up this week, so I think I'm going to start week 4 on Sunday and skip my rest/stretch day. I might have a chance to complete week 4 on time if I start a day early.

    Just finished my chicken breast and broccoli dinner. I got up at 6:45am this morning and did my Kenpo X. Feels REALLY good to have finished week 1 of required workouts. I do want to do stretch X tomorrow if I can find my DVD. 6 days down only 84 to go :)

    Good job to everyone who has been able to bring it this week!

    I'll try and post a summary of our accountability check in's tomorrow to see how week 1 ended up :)

    Man either folks have fallen off the wagon or they just don't waste their weekend time posting on myfitnesspal :)

    Today trully was a rest day for me. I've been trying to get 10K steps a day for 3+ months now and succeed about 2/3's of the time. Well today my pedometer barely got to 2k lol.

    I did fit in stretch X. Last time I only did Stretch X once or twice. This time I will be trying to get it in each week. Especially, since you can cut out half the video by fast forwarding through Tony's nonstop talking and explaining moves that I am already familiar with.

    Nutrition today as far as macro levels was the best it was all week, though the calories were lower.

    Breakfast was P90X protein shake
    snack -protein bar
    Lunch 8.4 oz chicken breast and 2.25 cups of broccoli
    snack - 2 oz of turkey jerky
    Dinner 9.1 oz of chicken breast and 2.25 cups of broccoli + beach body meal replacement shake

    This got my macros to 55% protein, 29% carb and 16% fat but total calories were WAY below 2400. I figure that since I didn't do a P90X workout or my usual walking or really any forms of excercise (Stretch X doesn't really get my heart rate up outside of 5-10 mins of it) that it is ok to be below the 2400 goal.

    1 week down 11 to go

    My wife and I both did all 6 workouts this week + stretch x and didn't stray from our nutrition goals even a single time (though I did learn a bit about some of the food I originally planned to use and replaced my lunch meals).

    Hope everyone is as happy with their week as I am feeling right now :)

I find it a little harder to post on weekends since I'm not sitting in front of the computer but will defenitely try to post more often. So far my eating in on track with greek yogurt for breakfast and berries and granola. No idea what im having for lunch but will definitely be healthy.:flowerforyou:

    Hello all,
    New to the group and starting over with P90X today. Glad to see you're all here for motivation and support. Planning on working out after work so I'll be a day behind in logging my workouts. I'll be honest, I can be a slacker at times and I started 4 Sept working out with P90X and Turbo Jam, but then I fell off the workout wagon the following week, and now I'm jumping back on. More about me later as I need to take my photos and measurements.
