New Round of P90X starts Feb 28th! Join me! Cont'd....

Oh, on a total plus side, I also went through my entire closet and 2 totes of clothes I had stored (with having 4 kids, I have been every size from a 12 to 18 - so I kept most of my clothes) and I was happy to bag up about 75% of my clothes - and I am down to clothes that I have not fit into for about 5 years so I am very excited! I have gone from a size 18 to a size 12 - very comfortably now - was a bit tight, but now they fit great! And I don't know what it is, but I think my body looks so much better now at this weight than I ever thought it looked previously when I was this weight (currently about 164), I still have a lot to go, but the body changes are really a huge motivator to keep going - I look at my arms when I am doing zumba - they look like someone else's! P90x is definitely working!

oh, as I continue to ramble - I have seen other people post that they lost 20 lbs and dropped 4 clothes sizes and I was like no way, not in only 20 lbs - but its true - its amazing how even though it is a relatively small amount compared to my total goal, I cannot believe how many inches are gone! (now of course I wish I had measured - but oh well...)

Anyways - Day 42 done! 6 weeks done! Kenpo X was awesome tonight - I am full of sweat and I feel great! Even though it is 2245 and I am just finishing up....I had a nap today!

The dedication and general good vibes on this board are so inspirational.

@ Lizard, I'm sorry you're out, but totally understand and am glad you're listening to your body and getting the rest you truly need! Perhaps we can dive into a round 2 of p90x in the fall??

Everyone else, working out on the road, before plain rides, recovering from small injuries and continuing.. it's truly motivational!

As for me.. I had to take a bit of a break. I burned my hand with hot oil, 3/4 of my thumb and most of the fatty pad at the base of the thumb were coated with olive oil that was at the smoking point. I reacted really fast (the accident prone get efficient at self first aid )but the relatively superficial 1st degree burn was still the most painful thing I've ever experienced.

I'm better now, although my hand still looks pretty gross, it doesn't hurt so I'm back on the p90x wagon! ... Today is a early run and then yoga x..

Keep it up everyone you rock!

Did Core Synergistics today - this one is still really difficult for me, I will improve on one exercise, but then another one will totally kick my butt - overall I am still happy with my progress!

Good evening from the road (again)!

I got a second workout in tonight...sorta. I am starting a new workout (for me, anyway), Chest and Back. As a result, I lugged ALL of my free weights with me. All told, I did the math, and I lugged 146 pounds of free weights, plus luggage, laptop bag, etc. etc. I got my extended reach pull up bar on Saturday, so I am officially "race ready" for pullups in the hotel room...tested it and I am good to go! Getting back to Shoulders and Arms this phase as well after four weeks off from that workout and if memory serves, I will need larger weights for that workout as well. I have gotten stronger over the last phase so I brought my biggest ones (20#)...depending on how things go this week in terms of working to failure, I may break out the wallet and get bigger weights...

Thank God this is a short week for travel, should be home Thursday evening...Thursday is supposed to be a Yoga-X day, but I might swap with Kenpo-X so I can get my workout done in the morning on Thursday and avoid doing it after a long road trip...Yoga-X is simply way too long for an early morning workout.

I am ready for the last phase and am already making tentative plans for a June 6th start of a new round of P90X, this time the Classic version (I am still kicking myself for not doing Classic in the first place)!

CG, I am glad you are not letting a bad burn (oil burn, not calorie burn) keep you from BRINGING IT!

I will echo earlier comments on the thread, I love keeping up with all of you on here, it makes me want to push harder myself.

I live in South Jersey also! In Southampton - its smack dab in the middle of burlington county

That is too funny! I know exactly where Southampton is. I grew up in Atco and then lived in Marlton until about 3 years ago when I moved to Washington Twp (Gloucester County).

Holy crap! You are almost done! Congrats!!!

Hey gang! Did Chest and Back tonight for the first time. I think it is definitely harder than Chest, Shoulders, Triceps. I found that I have way too light of weights for heavy pants, lawn mowers, and back flys so I did extra reps beyond 15. Will need to make another trip to the sporting goods store. I will either need to get the adjustable weights (I should have gotten those in the first place) or hit up Craigslist and/or Ebay (as suggested). Those weights get really expensive above 20#.

I am feeling this workout BIG TIME! I posted on my home page that I feel like I have been baling hay and moving furniture (like a sofa bed up a flight of steps). I am looking forward to doing this again in two weeks! I am even more looking forward to see what progress I make on this workout. There is a reason they do a ton of pullups and pushups in basic training in the Army!

Take care, all...swapping Yoga-X and Cardio-X days this week to allow me to knock out Cardio-X on Thursday morning when I head home.

Peace and chicken grease...

Great job Bob! Way to bring it ...
I have to disagree though... I think CST is way worse than C&B ... although I have come to realization that I do not like change. I do not think the video is that bad because I have done it before... I know what comes next etc. I did CST for the first time tonight, and I made it through 1/2 of it. I probably could have pushed a bit farther but I had already done a 4 mile run ... and I was afraid I would be too sore. So I stopped 1/2 way and will assess how terribly sore I am later! You know what they say ... do your best and forget the rest, right!

Hey y'all. Week 9 is going ok. Did chest and back last night had to modify because of my shoulder. I have Plyo tonight, really looking forward to it. Im leaving tomorrow for vacation but I will be taking the dvds and weights with me. I'll check in when I can. Keep up the hard work everyone.

Hello everyone:)

Glad to see there are other P90x lovers out there. I am currently on week 11 of my first round of lean. Only 2 more weeks and I can say I graduated... that will be an awesome accomplishment. What is everyone doing after this??? Another round but classic this time? Is anyone taking time off in between? I am still sore all the time so I can't imagine how sore I would be after taking a week off. I just wanted to join your topic- hope that was okay.

First, welcome to the thread!! The more the merrier! I am in week 9 of Lean and plan on a Classic round starting June 6th. I have about 6-7 MFPeeps that are tentatively going to start on that date as well...some contribute frequently to this thread. My stretch goal is to start Insanity in early September and maybe do a hybrid in November to commemorate my anniversary of starting my weightloss journey (started last November 10th). During the short break between rounds, I plan on mowing a lot of grass, hitting the elliptical, and doing some weight training to avoid muscle loss, but nothing seriously structured like P90X

Plyo tonight ... I love it and I hate it. I have yet to be able to make it more than 1/2 way ... its actually not my lungs ... its my thighs OMG they just cannot handle one more squat

But although I am disappointed, its better than 0 minutes of Plyo ...

"DO YOUR BEST, AND FORGET THE REST" Tattoo that on your brain, and you will be fine...you are doing awesome!
