    HAPPY MONDAY!
    After some late night contemplation I have come to the conclusion that I need to raise my cals.
    I had lowered them to accomodate adding in my excercise cals (something I had not been doing)
    I was great for a bit at the new level, but my issue with not being able to resist temptations happens whenever I play with my cals.
    Doing the Plus, I workout harder than with Classic X....so it is only reasonable that I need my cals:wink:

    I have adjusted my goals to where they were, have added in my excercise cals for the day and we will see how I do today....

    Smart woman, Licia. It sounds like you are making good adjustments. I know it seems a lot of people here on MFP eat WAY too little for their bodies. Good, clean fuel to keep your body's metabolism on fire! :wink: (I know you knew that!)

    I'm starting the TMT videos tomorrow and completing the 4 week 'accelerated results' program. I'm going to be busy these next couple weeks moving my bf and i, into my mom's basement. No bills = all my money goes to student loans! After that 4 weeks I'll be starting up P90x again. Maybe I can get my mom to do it with me! :smile:

    Good for you! Good luck w/ the TMT and I hope your Mom joins you! My Mom loves the BB programs, she really enjoys Debbie Siebers Slim Series, P90, and some of P90X (she has fibromyalgia so she has to be careful on how hard she pushes herself).

    Hi everyone!
    I'm new here and just wanted to post to say I'm starting P90X as soon as it comes in the mail. I ordered it the day before yesterday and I'm so excited that I keep checking my email to see if it shipped yet :happy: I hope it does soon!

    Hey Everyone! Well I started Round 6 of P90X today and started with excellent workouts. Tonight I did Chest & Back and Ab Ripper with extra ab work! I was totally awesome. I burned a total of 656 calories tonight. I was able to great on the pull-ups again. I did 2 sets of 16 unassisted chin-ups, and 2 sets of 6 unassisted wide front pull-ups and closed grip pull-ups. I laugh because I remember last year at this time, I could not do even one unassisted pull-up. Tony is right to never say never and keep pushing yourself and it WILL happen. Tomorrow I have 1 on 1 Plyo Legs. I love that workout cause when I am done, my legs are tingling.

    Taxie: Welcome! You are going to love P90X. Do not be disappointed if you cannot keep up with Tony. It will come with time, just like the pull-ups did for me! Just be patient, eat clean and you will get results fast!

    Way to go on your workouts today everyone!

    Hey Everyone! I just finished 1 on 1 Plyo Legs and it was AWESOME and I mean AWESOME! Unlike last week when I about died trying to do it when I was sick!!! I did not have to pause and kept fast fowarding when Tony played around or I just kept moving, kicking and jumping! It was truly AMAZING. I burned 544 calories in that one workout! I am so happy! I sure needed that! My legs are burning baby!!!

    Tomorrow is Shoulders & Arms and ARX w/extra abs!

    Jenny and 515: Way to go on your workouts today! You guys are really doing great. After last weeks Recovery Week, my abs are really sore today from the Ab Ripper with extra ab work yesterday. Not to mention, my chest and back! I just love that feeling though!

    Good morning. Back and Bi for me. My arm are a bit shaky, so typing is fun :tongue:
    My right elbow feels a bit off. Tomorrow will be Kenpo.

    Teena: You are a workout machine!
    Jenny: Hope work settles soon.

    If you're just starting P90X, you should be following one of the rotations. If you're doing Classic, you should be starting w/ Chest & Back and not do Back & biceps til phase 2. Let me know if you have any questions!

    Yoga is long, but it is beneficial. It's harder than you think too!

    Thanks, now I am back to using the proven method of carb rotation, and being meticulous about it.
    Of course it means that I have to take the time to change goals daily here, but the end results are worth it:happy:

    Are you following one of the rotations listed in the program guide? If so, which one is this?

    It's not Classic, Lean, or Doubles, so it has to be one that he's doing on his own.

    And hi Licia!! :smile:

    You go girl! I did Shoulders & Arms last night w/ my and had an awesome workout too! I'm up to 30# for the shoulder presses, deep swimmers press, etc. And 30# for most of the biceps, except static arm curls I have to go down to 25#. Those are killers! My dh can do them w/ 40# now... he's bicep boy. :laugh: I love that workout and am feeling the burn today.

    Ran 4 miles early today and will swim later while my dd's are are swimming lessons.

    Keep pushing play and keep the eating clean everyone!
