I am finally getting on track myself and what has worked for me is shaking up my diet every few weeks. I eat the same thing every day Monday - Thursday and then the weekends are my "treat" days where I can have something different. Go back to the grocery store on Sunday and get ready to start over with a new week long…

Thanks guys for the motivation. I had a migraine when I got home from work last night and sat on the couch. That is usually my downfall. I took some excedrin, drank some caffiene, and as my headache began to go away, I was on my way to getting dressed and starting Chest/Back & ARX. So glad I can be accountable to others…

Struggled with Yoga AGAIN... Did better than last week but I think my problem is not knowing what the moves are and having to look up at the tv when I'm supposed to be focused and concentrating on other things. I will be home on Sunday (my rest day) so I think I'm going to do X-Stretch to gain some additional flexibility…

Well I am looking forward to Yoga tonight. I know that I half assed it last week due to being exhausted already so I am excited about it tonight. It was great last night to write down increased reps on my worksheet and felt good. My diet may be my killer this week. We've had meetings at work and meetings at work mean…

Week 2 Plyo in the books... I cuss at Tony through most of the workout but I now love Plyo X. I don't keep up with "the kids" on all of the moves, but I will be in a few weeks. I may do a 2nd round of Plyo on my rest day if I feel good on Sunday. GoleanWendy - I have did most of the the modified moves to help my knees.…

Jrnygirl, I workout in the evenings. I am so not a morning person and I get up at 5:30 to begin with. I get home from work, veg out for 30 minutes, take my dog for a 45 minute walk and then get started with my P90X videos. But that is just my schedule. Some people love the morning workouts but I like the evenings. Good…

Good morning all! Good luck on Day 1 to all of the people just starting! Bring it! Started Week 2 yesterday. Arms, Chest, and Back. So sore today, could barely lift my arms to wash my hair, but its amazing the increase in reps I was able to do in Week 2 alone! I didn't post over the weekend as I was stuck in the torrential…

Day 4 Yoga... well I thought I was flexible until I did the yoga video. Holy smoke. But I loved it. Maybe it was just the breathing and clearning my mind after a crappy day. Goals set for next week's go round with Yoga. Legs & Back tonight with Ab Ripper and another 45 minute walk with my yellow lab, Belle. I think she was…

Jackelyn... I tried looking at the diets in P90X but am actually following the calories here and not eating the "additional exercise" calories. We'll see how it works on the scale after a month and if I need a change, I will. I couldn't imagine doing this with a young child, but you'll probably need to bump yourself up to…

Day 3 in the books. Arms and shoulders. I am sore, but its a good pain. I have no upper body strength so I am loving these workouts. Struggled through Ab Ripper but I did it. And I got a 45 minute walk in with my yellow lab in the rain prior to doing the workouts so I was beat last night. I have mixed emotions about Yoga…

Well Day 2 of my P90X is in the books... Plyo kicked the crap out of me to the point I didn't even attempt the Ab Ripper. (Thanks Drew for the suggestions of other workouts) I am going to work super hard at it tonight since its a strength day. I am also taking my dog for a 45 minute walk before my workout since I have been…

Well I started P90X yesterday. I would have loved to wait until after the holiday weekend but I've been putting this off way too long as it is. I used the bands for the pull-ups and did modified push-ups. (I don't think I have ever been able to do a real push-up in my entire life). That is my goal though, by the end of the…

Drew, I have heard some tough things about the workouts so when my order comes in and I get started I will need you guys to keep me going when my arms are ready to fall off. Its going to be tough dieting over Labor Day, but I have been putting off getting healthy for way too long, I just can't wait anymore. Glad to be part…

I just ordered it and as much as I want to wait for Sept 6th to start, I really need to get moving because basketball season starts in 3 months. I am going to start the day it arrives, but would still like to be part of the group!
