The Original Power 90 Check In?

Welcome jha 1223 glad to have you join. My pooer bands hardly get any use - I use weights - I am so uncoordinated with the bands - it's bad - they slip out from my feet , then I try to wrap them to make the resistance greater and then I just get messed up. But, I can use them successful for some LOL.

Thanks for the question about the whole starvation mode thing. I have thought of that and even kinda tested it out. but here is the thing....when ever I increase my calories ...with healthy foods my weight jumps up a little and the stays there. So, I have notice that when I drop my calories consistantly - lets say between 1,000 and 1,200. (not eating back my exercise calories) my weight drops. I always thought that I was not suppose to go under 1,200. Then also my scale does body fat. Again I know that this is not the best judge but it is a baseline for me to go by. I am not losing muscle. It pretty much stays in the same range but has been slowly going down. So, my answer to that is. I must be (I try really hard ) under estimateing my calories. So that when I think it is 12,000. it is more like 1,400 and when I think it is 1,400 it is really like 1,600. Other than that it doesn't make sense. I think 1,400 a day would be a good number for my age and what I am trying to lose. But any advise is welcomed.

I will check in every day for the next 7 days!!! That will put me at 90 day!!! yes that is right I will have completed the Power 90 program!!! I did sculpt level 5/6 today. This has been a great jurney for me. My only disappointment is that I haven't lost the last two pounds. I am 127 and was hopeing to be 125. (started at 136). But what I haven't loss in pounds I have gained in muscle and fitness. As soon as a can I will take pictures and post them. But, I feel really good and I am so much stronger. My clothes fit better and there really is a difference. I am lean ... not just thinner. So, I have Tony tho thank for getting me in shape for my wedding!!!!



Oh by the way - for those that have the Master series. The cardio interval is great with one big but. ....Wacko Jacks - for some reason those killed me - but I didn't know it until the next day!!! Good thing my day off was the next day because I would have been forced to take day off.

Hope everyone is doing great!!!

Fantastic job Lobster!!! you keep me motivated and I hope to see those wedding pic's in the future!

You guys will be tired of hearing from me!!! But - I completed day 85 - sculpt 3/4 Power 90!!! WOW!!! This feel so good. I can do at least 15 reps. - some 20 and all with 10 pound weights except for one or two exercises. That is such a big difference from the beginning with level 1/2 and only 3 pound weights..... I really feel accomplished --- only 5 more days to go. I won't say it went by fast or it was easy because it wasn't. I didn't miss one day - I only took one day off a week and on that day I walked or did something light. But it is totally worth it!!!! You guys will feel so much better when you do this... I promise!!!!

See you tommorrow!!!!!

Keep pushing play!!!!!

DAY 86 !!! Got up early and had a good start to the day with power 90 sweat 3/4!!!! Really felt good!!! So that means 4 more days - and one of those days is suppose to be a rest day!!!! I am almost there!!!! I am going to try to make it to step class tonight ... if not then I will just walk on the treadmill at home.

I think I will take a few days off when I finish - then continue with the Matser Series until boot camp starts on the 13th of September. That's my plan!!!

oh yeah! This week someone sent us (at work) these bakery fresh - utimate cookies!! I have had 1/2 one every day for my morning snack. I am kidding myself that they are somewhat healthy because they have walnuts - cocunut - dark chocolate and they don't have any additives or the such, whole ingedents only. Oh well I really don't cheat that much - but these are really good !!! They are almost gone now... I feel so much better that I have confessed!!!!!

Day 88 check!!! I tried Plyo legs today - tough- Had to do the modified on some of the moves!!!! But I am almost there!!!! It feels really good to be so close - I promise I will try to post pictures!

YEAH YEAH YEAH - DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!!!!! Day 90 of POWER complete!!!!! I did level 5/6 sculpt this morning with 10 pound weights and puched myself to do 15 -20 reps on all of them. Had to use 5 pounds on two exercises.

Also I happy to report my weigh-in on Friday was 126.2 so that means I lost 10 pounds !!! (my goal was 11 lbs) I feel really good - my hubbie to be will take the final pictures tonight!!!

So, I will do 5/6 sweat tomorrow and then take a couple of days off!! Then on Saturday - I will take it easy - maybe do level 1/2 or the biggest loser DVD or 30 shred. I will stay on some program type - work out 6 days a week until September 13. I will start a local Boot Camp - on non-bootcamp days I will do the lean program with the Power 90 Master Series!!! That will take me all the ay until October 8th!!! The wedding is the 10th - so that is the plan. I will evaluate when I get back and start something else.....

But to all my wonder power 90 friends THANK YOU! I am not going anywhere!! I will still check in and tell my updates and want to hear your updates.!!! I will try to post pics soon!!!
Have a happy healthy day!!!

PUSH PLAY!!!!

My first day without doing power90 in the morning - I feel naked!!!! (yesterday day 91 - I did sweat 5/6 to even out lol)

yes I have the whole Master series - I did sculpt 5/6 on Monday - so I figured I had to do sweat 5/6 to balance it out. Robert took the pictures but he has to download them to my computer - he suppose to come over tonight so I hope he brings the dvd or thumb drive or whatever it is LOL. You can really see the difference from day 1 to day 90. Especialy in my arms..they look the best.

Maybe it's just me....but I think 3/4 and 5/6 about the same - level wise - I mean they are different but I think the diffuculty is about the same. You will have to let me know after you do yours.

Lobster, I know what you mean. Me and my coworkers went to McDonalds yesterday and I was sorry worried about calories that I ended up eating my energy bar and drinking orange juice.. Last month I would have ordered a Big Mac value meal and 10 Mcnuggets..

Counting calories how did this happen?? LOL
