    So Plyo was difficult and I'm definitely feeling it in my calves. But I did arms, shoulders, and ab ripper today. Ab Ripper was soo difficult as they still ached from tuesday's ab ripper session lol.

    Good luck with that!! I'm on Day #6 of Week #10. I have certainly noticed a change in my stamina and energy. The scale and inches aren't cooperating... but my body is just weird. (yes, lots of fluid, good on calories, good on fiber, good on sugar, good on sleep, good on everything....)

    Keep it up!! I am starting ChaLEAN Extreme in two weeks!

    I did legs & back this morning, and HRM shows I burned even more calories than I did on plyo! Does that seem weird to anyone besides me? Do you burn more calories when you're working larger muscles? Just wondering if I should reconsider my HRM purchase. :tongue:

    LOL..I think I may have more room then you...:smile: I have started eating smaller partions, buy the food is just there and some time, its all I could do to avoid the food because of bordom. my family has come though by sending me healthy snacks. My new start date is going to be around the 5 of Sept, still waiting on the HRM watch as other equipment.

    So I LOVED the second half of the Yoga X video... stretching was AWESOME and so greatly needed for my sore muscles. First half of the video... I started to hate Vinyasas lol. I do love yoga though...

    it is extremely possible. The larger muscles in the legs help you burn more calories.

    Wow, looks like we haven't lost anyone yet.

    So, I'm reconsidering moving Legs and Back to a different day. Currently it's on Thurs, but I just started my bowling leagues, which is Fri nights :O Can definitely tell my form is better and I'm 100% more consistent, but man o man ... coming up from throwing a ball, after doing legs the previous night, suuuuuuuuuuucks. Soo looking forward to Stretch day, my glutes and quads are killing me (in a good way).

    Almost recover week, 1 more to go ... sort of a week behind seeing my brother joined me late, so we're catching him up.

    Have a good weekend everyone.

    Keep pressing play.

    hey susan! ive been so busy this week i hadnt had time to read posts and see that you did start p90x YAY!! you go girl!! today is rest day for me....which im soo happy about. we just finished week 3 and i am tired! it has been tough!

    as far as diet goes..im not following their diet. but the way i see it..its all about calories in vs calories out right? i think if you are monitoring your calorie intake and working out you are bound to lose weight...maybe that means you dont come out ripped...but for someone my size..it will take a lot more than 90 days to get ripped LOL.


    I feel the same way! Maybe by day 180 I will be able to do all the exercises! =) BTW I am not a pretzel! LOL There are alot of the exercises I can not do at my size, but I will keep going and do my best!
