Ok, let's see. Sculpt on Thursday.....back to Sweat 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100 on Friday. Rest on Saturday. 25 minutes of Yoga X on Sunday. Then went to lunch with a friend and have been sick ever since. Haven't had food poisoning since a Mexico trip 5 years ago. Guess I'm sitting it out today. Back in my extremist days, I would have freaked out or made myself exercise anyway. Now in my self-loving phase, I know I will pick back up tomorrow. No big whoop.
I do realize I am writing these posts for myself. ;-)
Skill - did you end up bowling? How are you feeling injury-wise?0 -
Ally - sorry to hear you are feeling Ill. Any better today? Glad you aren't an extremist anymore. :P I did bowl last week and did get through it without aggravating the injury. I slowed up my delivery and took it easier. I went for a good walk last night and feel like i'm close to being in the clear. I still feel a little sensation in the area, so I want to be smart about what I do. My plan today will be to walk again since we finally are seeing some nice weather. I will get on my recumbent bike later tonight as well and see how that goes. I don't think I'll start P90 stuff before Sunday as it looks like we will be bowling for the championship and I don't want to reinjure it before then. If all goes well through Sunday then the plan will be to push play on Monday. Man it really blows getting old!!0

Skill, looks like you are feeling better! Good luck with the bowling this week!
Ally, I am reading about every other day or so. You are not only writing to yourself
Jen, hope you are finding the time for yourself
I have been busy! I meant to pop in here the end of last week and post but all I managed to do was read a couple if posts
This is what I did last week....
Monday - Cold Start (X3 warm up), X3 Decelerator and a 6 mile run
Tuesday - Cold Start and MMX (X3 mixed martial arts)
Wednesday - Cold Start, X3 Eccentric Upper and 47 minutes of jump rope, jumping jacks, squats and lunges (did this in place of running. It was raining all day)
Thursday - Cold Start and X3 Triometrics
Friday - Cold Start, X3 Pilates X and a 5 mile run
Saturday - Cold Start and X3 Eccentric Lower
Sunday - Rest
This week....
Monday - Cold Start (X3 warm up), X3 Decelerator and an 8 mile run
Tuesday - Cold Start and X3 Agility X
The rain this week is actually cooperating with my running schedule
Wonders never cease!
I hope you all have an excellent week!0 -
Still down for the count. 5 days and counting...... I won't go into the details.....if you've ever had a food-born illness, you know exactly what is happening. ;-)
Skill, I see you've been pretty active the last few days. Good for you!
Diva, I'm glad you're still popping in here. I think I'll start X3 in about 3 weeks. Then I'll know what you're talking about when you post your workouts. ;-)
I miss exercising, but the rest is nice too. The more I think about it....3 weeks on and 1 week off probably isn't such a bad idea. Who says we need to go at it 5 to 6 days EVERY week? Tony talks about muscle confusion....I'm trying body confusion!!0 -
yes getting a little more active each day. Have to ease back into things after an injury when you are 41!!
Going to Tigers game tomorrow so I'll get plenty of walking and stairs in there. Then Sunday is bowling...then Monday P90 if all goes well this weekend.
I'm eating decent although haven't been logging....part of my all or nothing mentality which is silly I know!! have a good weekend...0 -
Got through the weekend unscathed...P90 tonight!! Been walking 10,000 steps a day since Friday as well.0

After one whole week.....I'm back among the living. Feels good!! Eased back in with Yoga X on Sunday.....back at Power 90 with Sweat 1-2 and Ab 100 last night. I guess the week off did the trick with the boredom factor. Think I'll do another few weeks of Power 90 until I receive X3.
Good to see you back, Skilly. How did it go last night? Did you break out the Power 90 videos? 0 -
Sculpt 1-2 last night. Sweat and abs done for today. Just keepin accountable. 0
-
Ally, so glad you are feeling better! Way to jump back in
Skill, did you get a pedometer? Awesome that you got through the weekend! Weekends are the toughest thing for me Good job!
I am in the last phase of X3 (block 3) and ran 20 miles last week and the week before. Feels great to thrive and not just survive....I've been feeling good! My leg and foot were pain free the last few runs!
I hope you are all doing well!0 -
Hi Diva! Feeling good feels good, doesn't it??! heh. I've been eating a little more sugar lately and THAT doesn't feel good! It affects my joints....and my moods FOR SURE.
Where did I leave off? Tuesday was sculpt. Wed was sweat and abs. Sculpt again Thursday. Friday I did Cardio X instead of sweat and abs. WOW. I remember when I used to think that workout was easy. Not so much now. It was really hard for me. But it felt good. You know that feeling - kinda like when you work your abs and the next day they are sore. It's like that good sore feeling. ;-)
P90X3 should be arriving on Tuesday. I'm excited. I know I can't do pull ups any more, so I also got a pull up assist. Gonna need it.
Might have to look for an X3 group. I remember how fun it is to have others doing the same program where you can share the pain and glory. 0 -
Hi Ally, I saw that you got your X3!! Have you started it yet? I just finished round 1 last week. I had purchased ChaLean Exrteme and Body Beast and was unsure witch one I wanted to do next. They are both muscle building programs. At my age I figure if I build more muscle it can only do me good It was a tough decision but I started Body Beast on Monday. I am still going to run too. I am not following the nutrition plan this first round. To really commit to it you need to be okay with bulking up.....not what I want to do going into summer
Let me know how you like it when you start!
I hope everyone is doing well 0 -
Hi Diva,
I started week 2 of X3 today. Love it. Of course.
Body Beast??? Just the commercial freaks me out! Let me know what you think.....0 -
I love straight weightlifting and I like to lift heavy! Body beast is just what I need right now
Everyone I tell about Body Beast looks at me like I'm going to start taking steroids or something I am 45 and need to build the muscle! My body fat is 23% and I want it back down to 20%. I think this can get me there
SO HAPPY to hear you like X3!! It's full of Horton fun!! I miss Tony when I'm not doing his programs. ENJOY!0 -
I hope you are all stil striving your your goals
Happy Belated Mother's Day to the ladies here!
I am in Block 2, Bulk of Body Beast and running when I can. I am struggling to get miles in. I went from 18-20 miles a week down to 6 miles a week for the last 3 weeks....and managed to eek out 11 miles this week! Running is a lot tougher with this program. Leg day wrecks my legs for al least 3 days of the week. Pushing through soreness makes each mile rough!! I am doing my best to push through it
Summer is almost here!!
Have a great weekend guys!!0 -
Hi Diva,
I did a quick check in on your Beachbody thread.....thought I'd stop by here too and let Skill know I'm still going strong.....I'm on week 8 of X3....that would be transition week of Block 2. Only one block left. It's going by fast. I'm sure I'll do another round when I'm done....I really like feeling fit again.
Hope all is well and that you are working towards health of mind, body, spirit. 0 -
Ally, I responded to you over on my Beachbody thread since it doesn't look like anyone is checking in here anymore.
Thanks for keeping in touch with me. I'm glad you are enjoying X3! 0 -
Sorry guys for not being accountable to this group. Back issues got me down. I started a new group for 2015 bathing suit challenge. I'm working on losing 50 lbs in 50 weeks. If you are interested send me a message.0
