    I'm not starting p90x, but I will be beginning week 2 on monday. I swapped my yoga day with cardiox. the first half is yoga and than blasting away calories for the second half. I don't have 90 minutes to spare and yoga never was my thing.

    I am pretty excited about tomorrow! I took my measurements and I am going to take a before pic. Is anyone following the diet too?

    We are going to try to stick with the meal plan...makes things a little complicated since my husband and I are two different levels and our schedules being different, we can't always do the same thing. Makes it tough to "plan". But we will get it figured out as we go!

    We took our measurements yesterday! I was totally shocked that his were so close to mine! He not a big guy tho...he just has a belly to get rid of. That's the only area his measurements were quite a bit more that mine.

    I might do the same thing. I am more focus on losing weight then anything. So some intense cardio followed by yoga sounds great.

    After reading through the books Sunday night I decided to go with the lean routine. I am tend to jump into things whole hog but then wear myself out and don't stick to it so I thought this would be a good way to ease myself into it. Yesterday I did core synergistics and today was cardio x. Today started out easy but in the end I was pretty tired :) I also did an hour of yoga at the gym this morning. I have decided to just watch my calories and try to eat healthy rather then follow the diet closely. How is everyone else doing?

    Made it through Day 2!! My 14 y/o son has actually been doing the workouts too. So it's become a nightly family thing! We are all sore, but it's fun to see who can out-do the other! So far Mom is the winner. :) Bring on Day 3!!

    I've also been starring at my dvd's. When my son was not crawling everywhere I was able to do about three weeks of p90x.. now he is close to walking and I just don't have time to do 1.5 hours a day. Good luck everyone! It is an amazing program and I am sure you will see results. I did in just a week.

    I hadn't thought to do half of my exercise calories. I am going to start doing that!

    Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms wasn't too bad! But the Ab Ripper killed me...AGAIN!! Can't wait to do that one all the way through without having to stop and take a breather!!

    My triceps are killing me today :) In the lean routine today was supposed to be Yoga X but I did Kenpo instead. Tomorrow I have Zumba at the gym...I am debating on doing leg/back tomorrow night or saving it for Saturday morning and saving Yoga for my rest day.

    Only did 40 min of the Yoga...will have to work on that one. But it did make me feel so much better! Legs and back tonight. I really feel like I need to be doing extra cardio.

    I started P90X (lean) this week too! I HAAAAATE yoga but my friend told me after the first 45 minutes of moving, it changes to balancing and posing things so I was able to hang in there for an hour and 15 minutes. Yoga absolutely bores me. I forget the schedule....is it kenpo or back/legs tonight?

    I wasn't a big fan of yoga for awhile but I am have learned to enjoy it :) I haven't done the P90X version yet, I am saving it until Sunday. Tomorrow I have dodge ball at the gym so I think I will do stretch x and run on the treadmill for bit. Tomorrow is supposed to be Kenpo but I did Kenpo instead of the Yoga.

    Well we made it through week 1. I have figured out that I am in better shape than I thought. And my husband is not in as good of shape as I thought he was in. We are both still motivated and focused on our goals. We are getting used to the eating plan. It's working out well for us. The scale is moving for him, but not for me yet. But I can tell it's working already. Ready for week 2!! We are going to take our measurements again at the end of this week. Hope to see some progess!!

    Good job! I bet you will see results! I took my measurements on Friday and I have lost an inch around my waist :) I can wait to see what happens this week.

    So glad I found this thread, as my husband and I are on day 11 of P90X! He has lost 6 pounds and an inch and a half off his waist. I have lost two and a half inches from my waist. We are trying to keep to the nutrition plan as closely as we can and we have been drinking Shakeology for a year now anyhow, so it's easy to keep that in our daily routine. So far, I love the challenge of trying to do pull ups. I like the arms and shoulders workout a lot. The Ab Ripper X was easier for me the first day than subsequent days because my muscles are so darn sore!! Has anyone else experienced that? Today is Yoga X for us. Last time we made it through only half of it. Aiming for more today!
    You are all doing awesome!! Keep it up!

    Today is yoga for us...hope to make it through of it all this time. Last time I only did 40 minutes. Hubby didn't make it that far. But my body is aching all over today...afraid I am coming down with something cuz both my husband and son have been sick. Sure hope not! Just getting into this routine.

    I hate the arm and shoulder workout :) Legs and Back is my fav :) I couldn't do Ab Ripper X very well the first time but I am doing alot better at it. I did 30 mins my first round on YogaX, I hope to make it at least 45 next time. It hurts my back a bit :(

    We made it through the complete 90 minutes of Yoga X! Woohoo!!! I actually think I am gonna like it! Hubby did great this time too. And I did show a little bit of a weight loss this morning! Exciting! And I noticed my thighs and calves are really getting firm. Now if my arms and tummy would just do the same! :)

    Today is legs and back for me...definitely my second least favorite workout of the bunch as its tough on my knees. But I'll bring it and do my best. Yoga is my least favorite for sure! I've been doing some additional cardio workouts twice a week or so...will be taking my 30 day pictures soon and measurements so hoping that it all pays off. Keep bringing it everyone! Have a great weekend!

    No workout for me today (I was at a the Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference) so I am doing my workout tomorrow instead of using Sunday as my rest day. My eating was totally off this weekend but tomorrow is a new day. Kenpo here I come!

    Two week update - down 1 lb and 2 inches. Sadly 1 of those inches was in my chest! LOL! 1/2 inch in my waist, 1/2 inch in my hips.

    Still sticking with the meal plan and doing the workouts everyday! How is everyone else doing??
