    I am present *in my best good student voice*

    I had a first today....I am traveling and I was doing Core Syn from my hotel room. I got a knock on the door from the hotel manager asking if I was having some kind of party due to some loud thumps on the floor. I laughed and explained I was "towel hopping". He looked at me like I had three eyeballs and my nose was on backwards. Thank God I wasn't doing Plyo or they would have probably kicked me out.

    Early morning Kenpo-X tomorrow...on my Phase 1 recovery week.

    Question for the veterans...is it normal to see accelerated fat loss during recovery week due to the increased cardio? My weight has been zig-zagging the last few weeks (assume it is from muscle gain) and it would be nice to see the scale dip a little bit this Sunday prior to 30 day measurements and pictures.

    Just curious...

    BRING IT!

    Found it! Thank u all for the encouragement last night. I did the whole yoga DVD and even did upward dog with my legs off the ground during the whole beginning part of the video :smile:
    Today was core synergistics I like the core burn on that one. And afterwards wasn't so exhausted I couldn't bowl. Bowled 170, 169, 206 at league tonight. I was very pleased.

    During my first round I lost steady weight, I have experienced weight loss during rocovery weeks too because of less weight lifting. It's really a crazy thing though. It's hard to pinpoint a solid pattern.

    Hi everyone! So nice to see so many p90x'ers on the boards. Hubby & I are currently on week 1 of Phase 2 (lean version). Brought it last night with Cardio X and loved it! PS: Looking for more P90X friends so please add me if you would like,.

    I'm on my 3rd week and havent lost a pound. Probably from muscle gain.

    I don't know that weight loss was accelerated during recovery week, but it seemed to me that I didn't start really losing lbs until near the 30 day mark. Then it went off fast through the last 60 days. I don't think the delay in loss is from gain as much as from sore muscles retaining water to repair. I lost 23lbs doing Lean and most of that was the last 60 days. I do remember being worried the first few weeks, hope this helps.

    Did Legs and Back this morning! Week 2 day 5 done. Could barely climb the stairs after I was done this morning. In some serious pain here at the office. A good pain!

    Hey - Just finished up Day 5 of week one - legs and back and Ab-Ripper. Went well! Didn't quite follow the worksheet I downloaded. What's up with that? Cheers everyone!

    It follows, but the pull-ups are two sets and the legs are one set. So you have to loop back around to the 4 pull up exercises. Several of the lifting exercises are like that. There's some kinda method to Tony's madness!

    I was told the same thing about muscles retaining water until they repair. While I've slowly lost the past month, I'm hoping to see a faster weight shed these next couple phases. If I can lose close to 20 these next weeks, I'd be ecstatic. Or would that be X-tatic?

    *raises hand* I'm here too!

    So last night me and my fiance had date night and went to our itty bitty theatre and watched Harry Potter - it was a blast and I ate way too much buttered popcorn and couldn't find the energy to work out at 11:45pm. But not big deal, you gotta have a date night now and then right!?

    So Kenpo tonight, it's all good.

    I haven't lost much either (about 1 lb), but I'm also within 10 lbs of my goal weight so it will take longer. I am curious to see what happens during recovery next week though!

    I found it! Thanks to lizard9800 for noting on the auto-continued thread that there was a new one. Otherwise, I probably would have gone there.

    Arms/Shoulders/ARX today rocked. I actually made it through the bonus round for the first time (ran out of time last week), so I heard the "Wow upside down is Mom" thing - love Tony's sense of humor :laugh:

    For those talking weight loss, I haven't seen any yet. I'm really hoping it will pick up by phase 2, so I don't get discouraged. I had previously done Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, didn't lose a pound, but was impressed with the inches I lost. If that's the case here too, I'll be ok, but really would like to drop 10-15lbs... I guess we'll see :ohwell:

    Hey crew. Rest day for me today! I could use it too, since it's been hard keeping up with all the hours I'm working and actually pressing play. Hard, but not impossible! It's been great to have all of you for motivation. Keep it up!!!

    Ah, rest days. Oh how I love thee!

    I did Chest and Tri today. I did what I could, but when it comes to the fly push-ups, finding I'm having a hard time doing that because it's straining the very lowest ab muscle on my right side and the feeling makes me not want to push it. I really don't want an injured ab muscle.

    Hey all! Thank you very much for the reply to my question. It sounds like P90X is "like a bawx of chawklates...ya never know what yur gonna git!" As said earlier, if I weigh in this Sunday and lose a few pounds, I will be ecstatic, X-Static, or maybe "sta-BLAT-ic".

    Did Kenpo-X as my third day of recovery week phase 1 VERY early this morning and got the best sweat and burn ever on that workout...I need to set that alarm to go off sooner more often. Today was a travel day and I wanted to knock it out.

    On vacation tomorrow...heading to Phoenix for some spring training baseball (Go Reds!!)...bringing the P90X gear.

    Take care, all. I will be scarce the next four days.

    Maybe I downloaded something different as there are two lines on each of the pull-up entries but then they are all listed twice (so I didn't have to loop back around) except the last set of Switch grip pull-ups which was only listed once. Anyway - I logged it, it just didn't make sense like the arms and shoulders worksheet did.
