    Checkin in- Did Yoga yesterday. Plan is to do Legs and Back today, I was getting lazy and thinking of not doing it but after reading some of the posts, I am ready to bring it. Thanks guys for posting, it really motivates me to push play when I am not feeling like doing it.

    Drew- the abs are looking good, keep it up my friend!

    Have a wonderful weekend y'all!!

    Hello Team X,

    I ran 7.5 miles this morning but I felt like I was running in mud! My time was terrible but I pushed through and accomplished my goal. I will be doing YogaX tonight and I'm looking forward to it....I never thought I would say that but my body is stiff and I know this will help.

    Drew - All I can say is.... IM-PRESS-IVE!!! You should be very proud of yourself, you have worked very hard and deserve to reap some of the benefits of your dedication. You are an inspiration to us all!

    No college fottball for me tomorrow :sad: I have a wedding, but I will get in a decent run and legs & back, come hell or high water. I may have to push ARX to Sunday with Kenpo but I'll get it done.

    TEAM X have a great weekend!:wink:

    Make your workout count!

    Hey Yal!!! :)

    Where is everyone today???

    Day 40... DAY FORTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

    Let me hear from you guys!

    Legs and Back today. I have to admit that I did a lackluster job with this workout. Heres the thing, We have company this weekend. A couple of kids. Ages 10 and 13. I woke up early to get my workout in and SURPRISE, they were awake. So I popped in ab ripper and crushed it, then I popped in legs and back. Heres the rub, the kids starting playing halloween music. Thriller, Men in Black, Ghostbusters, etc... So what do you do when those songs are playing???? You dance of course. So after about 15 minutes of music, I found myself trying to LEARN the thriller dance and completely ignoring Tony H. Looking back at it, I burnt a bunch of calories anyway, but not exactly what the program calls for.

    You win some and you lose some I suppose...

    I am very excited to only have 50 days left.... almost halfway there! tick tick tick.... BooM! :explode:

    Have a great weekend yall! Bring It... LET US KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING!

    Drew

    p.s. Thanks for all the support on my photos... you guys are the best., The End!

    Well I said that I was gonna get in a decent run, do Legs and Back and move ARX to Sunday...I got it all in! I am very pleased with myself! I am even sneaking in the Texas A&M vs Baylor game (Im from Texas so I especially enjoy watching Texas teams going after it). All in all it's been a good day...now off to the wedding!

    The weather here in Houston is so nice today....I wish I had more time to hang outdoors!

    Drew- I wish you would make a video of your 80's style dancing....lol:tongue:

    Jay - I hope you are having a wonderful time here.

    YVL93 - Good Luck on your walk tomorrow!

    Everyone else have a great weekend!

    I got in Kenpo X between the Michigan State vs Michigan game and the Georgia vs Vanderbilt game. I'm getting upset with the Georgia game, so I thought I'd do a drive-by check-in.

    Good morning everyone. Today marks the end of Phase I. Yeah! No visual results from this 4 weeks, actually gained 3 lbs. I know, it's muscle but still kinda of discouraging when seeing the results of Drew, Wendy and Jay. However, my primary purpose for starting this program was to jump start into a certain level of fitness and in that realm there are definite results! Went from using 5lb weights for most sets to 20 lb, doing 1 pushup to 10 and from laying through a good portion of ARX whimpering to pretty much keeping up with them. I "currently struggle" with chin ups and probably will through the end, but I keep trying. Really going to bring it in Phase II, have been informed my husband will be home at the end of Phase II (he wasn’t due to be back until I was done, and I haven't seen him for 430+ days) so the pressure is really on to see some movement on the tape or scale. But seeing what I can accomplish in 30 days I am very curious/anxious to see the results at 60! So bring it on… I'm ready!

    Also, thank you for posting your trials and tribulations with sticking with this program. I know it has been said many times, but seeing all your struggles and accomplishments helps so much. This program really is 90% mental. If you get to the point of pushing play, you can't help but give it your all, it's just getting to the point of sticking the DVD and there you guys rock. Thank you.

    Hey team!

    This past weekend was another tough one in terms of getting all my workouts in - I did my best and ended up with Legs and Back and Kenpo but no doubles to make up for Thursday and Friday. We celebrated our third thanksgiving on the weekend with my mothers side so I was slow moving for a while.

    This week I am back in full swing. I have hockey tonight and because it is not a super late game I will be full of energy for tomorrow MORNING'S Check, Shoulder and Tri workout that we all love so much. I am looking forward to weak arms all day - I am glutten for punishment so I have joined my neighbor in her preparation and training in the C25k and have ear-marked my second lhalf marathon for next April. Winter running is never a fav for me but both myself and cubby puppy could use the additional activity.

    Have a great rest / Stretch day and enjoy life!

    Hello all,

    I just wanted to check in to say I SEVERELY blew my diet this weekend. :cry: I am still very bummed that I had zero self discipline on Saturday and Sunday. I did get Plyo in on Saturday, but nothing on Sunday. I am hoping this will not hurt my progress too much. I definitely gained some pounds on the scale.

    This is recovery week for me, and then I will be done with Phase 1. I am hoping I can get some extra cardio workouts in this week so that I will not feel so bad. I am NOT looking forward to the check in with my measurements at the end of the week.

    Take care everybody.

    Hey yall! :smile:

    Well... These are my last 5 days before my final weigh in. The competition is going pretty well, Im not sure how I measure up with the other compeitors, but just knowing i am in this competition gave me enough motivation to reach my goal weight around day 45. Ill be within 1 -2 lbs of the original goal of 170 by friday.

    For obvious reasons, Im not taking a rest day until Saturday.

    I played football yesterday and subsequently endured a couple of minor injuries. A slightly sprained ankle, a knee to the thigh causing pretty extreme soreness, and some right knee pain that I have no idea where it came from. I originally had kenpo X scheduled for today, but my ankle wasnt really going for it. I had trouble getting up and down the stairs at school this morning, so I decided to do chest shoulders and tris with AX instead. This will allow my legs to a chance heal up (hopefully).

    My body is hurting, so the workout was tough. i pushed through and increased a bunch of the numbers. But there were some tricep and push up numbers that I could not beat. I really did "do my best" though... So i feel good about the work I put in this afternoon. Now its off to work...

    Mrs Booker... No need to beat yourself up. You are still doing great, just give 100% on your workouts this week (just like you always do!) Bring IT!

    Sassy... You sure are one heck of an athlete! Hockey too??? Wow... you are the shizzzzzz...

    Have a great afternoon everyone...
    Check in with us!

    Hey team!

    Phase 2 Recovery Week is underway for me, kicked off with Yoga X this morning for day 50 overall. Did my X Stretch yesterday to wrap up week 7. Lost another pound as of yesterday's weigh-in, making 71 pounds overall since the 1st of the year, and 9 pounds since starting P90X. I'm very close to my "goal" range which I think will be in the 170-175 area. Not sure exactly where my weight will end up, but more importantly I want to get my body fat percentage in the 9-10% area. I know I'm going to have to do another round in order to get there since I'm currently in the 13-15% area, depending on how I measure. We'll see how much that moves in Phase 3 (maybe I can get down to 11 or 12 in the third phase??) and then I'll decide what to do from there. But I know it will involve another round, maybe with some modifications like subbing in some Insanity workouts instead of the regular P90X cardio.

    Anyway, hope everyone is doing great today, and BRING IT!!!!!
