Congratulations to all who have made it this far. I am wavering a bit as the excuses built up over the past week and a half but hope to get back at it today. I did core synergistics this morning and plan to get through the week and get back to the program next week.

Sorry for the late weigh-in: 1/3: 191.2 1/8: 192.8 1/15: 190.6 1/22: 189.2 1/29: 189 2/5: 188.6 2/12: 187.8 For some reason was ravenous all weekend so diet was blown to bits but back on the wagon for next 5 days and hopefully the weight will continue the downward trend. Keep up the good work everybody--about halfway there!

W6D6 down, did plyometrics this pm. I also did Insanity plyometrics this week, with mixed results. I wish I could do the Level 1 and 2 exercises better. Those are brutal. Otherwise, looking forward to the weigh-in tomorrow morning. I can hardly believe I have done exercises for 36 days.…

1/3: 191.2 1/8: 192.8 1/15: 190.6 1/22: 189.2 1/29: 189 2/5: 188.6 Still trending slowly down, expected to lose a little more than 1/2 pound as I went hard with the cardio this week but when I measured body fat with my little meter, I was down 1.5% in one week so very happy with that number. I plan to stop obsessing weekly…

I like the Yoga DVD, just have a hard time finding a quiet 1.5 hours to do it. I don't remember that infomercial, I will have to look for it when I do Yoga (hopefully) tomorrow. Heading to the elliptical and weights and looking forward to the weigh-in tomorrow morning

A bit behind in posting my figures but here they are: SW: 1/3: 191.2 1/8: 192.8 1/15: 190.6 1/22: 189 The weight is trending in a good direction, have a hand held body fat meter and my body fat is only down 1%, which is disappointing to me. It was trending better until the recovery week when I had to take a couple of days…

W4D3 done, going to do core synergistics tomorrow, not a favorite but like it better than my Friday workout, Yoga! Anxious to see what my weight and measurements will look like this weekend.

Looking forward to the recovery week, feeling a bit tired and rundown (got lots of snow over past 3 days so shovelling 2x/day doesn't help). Numbers still trending in right direction so I am happy and motivated. Didn't think I would notice a difference in only 3 weeks but happily I do. More energy and can feel I am a bit…

W3D1 just done, I tried Core Cardio and Balance from Insanity. It was less intense than the other Insanity DVD's I tried but I still was unable to do everything without a bit of a rest inbetween so I think I still got a good workout in. Slacked a bit on the diet this weekend (the first half of the Steelers game drove me to…

Pleasantly surprised this morning at weigh-in: SW 1/3 191.2 1/8 192.8 CW 1/15 190.6 My body fat measurement is down 1.2% over past 2 weeks and got a comment last night that I look like I lost some weight so that was encouraging. Still have chest/back to do today and then rest day tomorrow. I am starting to feel like a…

Done with Kenpo so one more day this week, chest/shoulders tomorrow morning. Diet is not as great as I had hoped but the energy during the exercises I have is increasing so if only I could get motivated to eat better. I am definitely eating more fruit than ever, just need to cut back on that daily soda/pop I can't seem to…

W2D1 is done, did Pure Cardio of the Insanity DVD's. Brutal. Just wanted to do a bit more cardio and less weights this go-round so I will try this instead of the Legs/Back DVD. Really going to concentrate on the diet as looking at the chart many of the challengers lost a bit of weight so I want to get that down a bit as…

My first weigh-in results: SW 191.2 CW 192.8 Not too surprised it has gone up but my approximate body fat went down .5% so I am not concerned about weight increase at this time. I am debating dropping the legs/back day of P90X and doing another cardio day, like cardio x or one of the insanity discs. I feel like I would…

Done with W1D5, Yoga X. Seemed to go faster than 1.5 hours, and I think I did better with it than the previous 2 times I tried it. A little painful on my sore shoulder but just modified movements to compensate. Lots of room to improve. Almost done with week 1, wondering where I will be with weigh-in tomorow as I did a…

W1D3 done, did PlyoX. Wow, was a bit disappointed in how I felt while doing it as it was a lot harder than when I previously was doing it. I didn't realize I was that out of shape. However, it is one of my favorite workouts (and all the comments from Tony make me laugh while doing it as well).

Here are my measurements: Weight: 191.2 Body Fat (approx): 22% Waist: 39.5 Hips: 40.5 Chest: 41.75 Right arm (relaxed): 13.25 Left arm (relaxed): 13 Right thigh: 20.75 Left thigh: 20.5 Also for accuracy sake, I changed from lean to classic program...will be doing shoulders and arm program today...

I think I am going to do classic instead of lean. I did Kenpo early this afternoon, and will have to get my measurements later tonight. I did weigh in at 191.2 with an approximate body fat of 22%. Looking forward to getting that down....

Plan to start Lean program on January 3. Looking forward to tracking my progress with all of the challengers!
