Howdy all! I recently had a bad accident that left me with a cracked rib and two fractures in my foot. Doctor says I have to be on crutches for up to 3 months and then physical therapy after that. I may have foot pain for up to a year. I do a lot of hiking in the summer, and snowboarding in the winter, so this does not sit…

I'm in for Round 1.5! (since my 1st round was plagued by injuries). I will have recovery week (i.e. vacation) while you all start, and jump in on week 2. I know what you mean about the elliptical - just isn't the same kind of burn. Doubles might not be a bad idea, though, since I spend a decent amount of time doing cardio…

4/25: 146.6 5/2: 146.6 5/9: 146.0 5/16: 145.0 Down 1! I think I might start up with P90X again today, for 3 weeks until a friend's wedding, so the weight may or may not drop, but the body will tighten up :)

4/25: 146.6 5/2: 146.6 5/9: 146.0 Small loss, but I'll take it considering that my knee and back are screwed up and I can't exercise much.

4/25: 146.6 5/2: 146.6 No loss, but no gain, and it wasn't that great of a weekend. Measurements are still the same. I just need to drink a lot of water this week!!!

The Easter Challenge brought me fairly close to my overall goal, but every little bit helps. The last 5 lbs is always the hardest :grumble: And a measurements update is good too. I have a wedding in June and one in July, so I hope to reach my goal much sooner than September and keep it there. SW 146.6 GW 140

Happy Earth Day everyone! Just thought I would pop in and say hello. Congrats to Adam and everyone else that is finishing up this round of P90X. I have been doing lifting/abs, but leaving my knee alone. Today I am contemplating trying Legs and Back. My therpist told me squats and lunges are ok. Just no jumping. But we'll…

My…

Sorry folks, but a regimented P90X schedule just isn't in the cards for me apparently. I slipped and fell yesterday and did something "minor" to my ACL knee, but it was enough to cause swelling and pain and the doctor told me to take it easy for at least a week (hallelujah that he said I still had an ACL because I was…

In the last 2 weeks I've had wrist, neck and knee pains, but I believe I am finally ready to jump up to Phase 2!! I did a modified Phase 1 last week just to test the wrist (everything but chest/back and yoga). Slightly sore afterwards, but nothing serious. I haven't done a pushup in 2 weeks so hopefully that goes well. I…

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/08/government-shutdown-the-latest/?hpt=T1 If anyone is interested in the most up-to-date info on the situation. I am not military, but one of the 800,000 unpaid feds. I'm sitting in my office and feel like I'm watching a pot of water trying to boil.

My left is noticeably (to me at least) smaller than my right bicep. That stems from me being a right handed tennis player with a one handed backhand my whole life. So if you figure something out let me know!

Apr 25: 145 (goal) Back down to where I was a week ago, but no real loss again. I think I have hit a plateau unfortunately, but now…

Finally felt up to lifting a bit yesterday. Started with Shoulders and Arms since there are no pushups or planks in that one. And I didn't try to push myself too hard. Wrist feels ok today. No real difference, so I think I will do one week of Phase 1 and then jump into Phase 2 next week. I have been doing all the cardio…

Definitely take a break and see someone, even if it's just a physical therapist (they have done wonders for me in the past). I hurt my wrist and had to take two weeks off from lifting. It was tough, but I was finally able to slowly start up again yesterday. Keep up with the legs portion in the meantime and cardio if you…

That's fantastic! Today was my Day 30 of P90X as well. My measurements didn't drop nearly as much as yours. Keep it up!!

First time posting pictures, so hope this works! Here is me around the 180 mark..... Here I am at 140 before my wedding...(mostly lost through cardio) Here I am now after gaining a few lbs with strength training...

Well, folks, today is Day 30 and you know what that means...measurements! The weight hasn't been dropping off like I hoped, but I only had 10 lbs left to lose so I knew it wouldn't come easy. I have lost about 2 lbs so I'm not really complaining. I was just hoping to reach my goal weight by my anniversary in a month, but…

I love anything Brown. Honey brown, nut brown. Moose Drool (MT), Leinenkugels? Fireside Nut Brown (WI). But I have to be true to our local Snake River Brewing OB-1. Guiness is always a great backup. Has anyone ever tried the Shiner Mesquite? Very interesting, but can't drink more than one at a time. Too smokey.

Apr 25: 145 (goal) I injured my wrist so I can't do the lifting portions of P90X right now, hence the weight gain. Just wasn't a good week. Going…

Getting very frustrated with my wrist. Was doing better by Sat and then I had to work the weekend and lift heavy things. Now it's painful again. It's spring break and I'm the only one at work this week, so... not looking good. Supposed to start Phase 2 today, but I think I might just do a hybrid week with plyo, run/abs,…

I have Aria protein powder for women. I guess I don't know the specifics - it was on sale so I just bought it - but since it's tailored to women I would think it's not for bulking up. One serving is 80 calories, unless you add it to milk instead of water. Not too bad. And each serving has 14g of protein.

I just had ACL surgery about 5 months ago. Still have one month to go before my doc gives me the go ahead to be "normal" again. I was concerned about Plyo when I first started, so I decided I would do CardioX until I found it wasn't as much of a workout as I wanted. So I gingerly did Plyo with my brace on and did the Blam…

Ha! No, of course not. Just having a bad day and needed a pick me up. And it helped!!

You are right. I haven't been so good about water this week. And when I woke up last night with "cramps" it all made sense. I think I'm going to do Plyo and ARX today for giggles. I'm getting tired of my treadmill and elliptical. And I can't do Yoga with my bad wrist. Giving it until Monday to lift. Curiosity won out…

I have to say this recovery week business is making me go backwards. I should have taken pictures on Sunday. I'm eating too much, not exercising much (wrist doesn't help I guess). I've gained about a pound. Argh! I need the hardcore workouts everyday to keep me motivated apparently. Can't wait for Phase 2 to start. I may…

Adam, that's great! I can really tell a difference. Keep it up!! On a side note. I don't think I fractured my wrist, but I did definitely strain some muscles. Today is better, but still wrapped and not able to sleep through the night (even took vicodin). Oh well, thank goodness for recovery week, my treadmill and bike.…

Gotta get my reply in before the new thread...! We have one cat, but he thinks he is part dog. He plays fetch, he loves socializing with people, he demands a bellyrub everytime we come home or wake up, he likes dogs (after a while). His name is Buster, and although my husband calls him MY cat, he came up with the name. My…

Yesterday was my firsy Core Syn day. Have to say that I wasn't a huge fan. I liked the leg work, but a lot of the floor moves can really tweak a bad back (such as myself). I had to modify. And somehow - maybe walking pushups - I did something to my right wrist. It hurts so bad I am wondering if I tore something or have a…
