day 2 (92) plyo!

Still hard as hell workout. I breathe hard, I sweet, and I get my butt kicked. I have found if I envision myself with my shirt off ripped...it helps me get through a tough time! This is the workout that I feel is the hardest. The breaks are small, you get worked on every 30 sec set...and that is for 50+ min long! insane workout. I did a great job today though....hopefully by the end of these 90 days I will be able to keep up with the dude inthe back...he is crazy!
Check back tomorrow for a new post:) Remember...push play everyday!

Day 1 (91)

started round 2 today
Pushed play and brought it. By far the best workout so far..pushed my body really hard...my neck is super sore from sleeping on a coach at my brother in laws house over the weekend. ...so that is the only neg. pushed hard in the abs...and they hurt now!!!!!!! its been over a week since I worked them and I felt weak in this area for where I should be....starting to get stronger in pullups ...did over 65 pullups! see you tomorrow for plyo!!!!!

round one complete!!!

a week of laid back workouts...skipped the last yoga and played some soccer instead... Ran a couple miles this week as well. Still feel that x stretch is a great workout and my body is sore from core. overall a good 90 days..didn't follow the plan to a T but did get good results. One is that none of my clothes fit anymore:) I;m taking 5 pairs of dress pants to the tailors on monday to get them resized! plus I bought a new outfit for work size 32 pants.. a little snug but where I'm heading they are going to be perfect...maybe even loose in a month or so! I will take pics tomorrow morning before work.
here are my finishing stats...
started ended
weight: 190 178 loss of 12 pounds but lost a lot of B
Waist: 38.5 33.5 5 in!!!!!!
Arms:14.5 13.5 (but look much bigger!) was down to 12.75 and moved up

starting round two today! goal is to get below 10% body fat in the next round...I have never been this low....wish me good luck!!!! STay posted as I post weekly stats and this time weekly pics....I really want to push myself this round because I'm feeling fitter and more determined to get the results I Want. This program has helped change my life and im happy to say that my wife is even considering to try starting next week...she has already lost all of the baby weight but wants to get toned up now...she should be cleared next week to start working out...wants to jump in and do the core work while she starts running again...and lifting weights for a few weeks to prepare herself for her first round:)

sore!

WEll this is supposed to be my last week of p90x ...i've talked about it before how I missed around 2 weeks because of the baby...and stuff..well I thought to myself that I'm still goign to end this week like I had planned 90 days ago.. I'm just going to start round 2 next week! so this week is my recovery week..instead of yoga I played soccer for 2 hours! Fun times...4 v 4 in the gym...fast paced hard games.....body is feeling it today...felt in shape though...several of the guys made remarks about the fire in me last night...I felt like I was 20 again playing last night..(besides the loss of some skill:(
today is core work...which I love:) check back later for an update...

kenpo X

had fun with this work out today...my daughter, who is 2, also had fun with this workout. Overall good day. Went super low on the carbs today only had complex carbs with breakfast in the range of 45-50 carbs with whole wheat cereal. Since I had my cheat meal yesterday I like to follow it with a super low carb day and then monday tues will be low carb days with carbs at breakfast 1 snack and lunch...looking to hit doubles this week with runs with the soccer team and my workouts.

friday night legs/back/abs date!

started working out at 8:30 after i put my daughter to bed. HAd a nice little date with legs/back and abs..What a date let me tell you. This workout is so hard. My legs shake..i sweat....i breath hard...and for some reason I actually like it :) it is going to make my run tomorrow morning really fun. I did get over 10 reg pullups on my first set in all but super wide grip ...I only got 8. plus I did at least 5 more with the chair on each set! I couldn't even do 2 when I started:) Overall decent week with workouts..and ok with food. Will be back on track from now on...keep watching for the change:)

pics

again...not a drastic change from my 30 day pics...i am down to a 33.75 in waist....as you can see i'm carrying most of my fat in my love handels...and hope that it starts leaving soon...

not happy/double

well I took pics tonight...and im not happy. I know the last two weeks have not been as good as I wanted and have not followed the workout plan or the eating plan. But I still wish I had better results. I guess a little cheat here...a missed workout here..not enough sleep..stress at work...real life! has let me not get to where I wanted. The great thing about this...is that it has pissed me off! I went back and read all of my old posts and think back to how much effort I put in so far and im mad at myself for having that brownie today...im mad at myself for missing 8 workouts so far...now I know...ive eaten pretty healthy...and usually play soccer or run on days I didn't get a workout in...but I have a quote that I always share with my soccer players......if you always do what you have always done...you will always get ...what you have always gotten...it sums up...i need to follow a a plan...it works...others have shown that it does....I just need to follow it! So I missed about two weeks so far..because of the baby and my small vacation...so im going to add two weeks to my 90 days...to kind of see what my potential would be...so instead of being down march 28 I will be the second weekend of april...im hoping that i can still get good results in my last month...
Now im not expectating miracles...i didn't expect a 6 pack abs from the first 90 days...i however...am going to push the second round of p90x and im going to make sure that by july 16th im going to be ripped...i head to maimi that weekend for a 4 day soccer tournament ...and then a 3 day cruise with my wife and friends...i want to transformed by then...if your reading this....help keep me accountable for every workout ...effort...and calorie that I eat...one cheat meal is ok...but when you throw them all together over a period of 12 weeks that could be a pound or two of fat I could have lost!!!!!
Here are my pics...taken at 11 before going to bed.

chest /shoulder tris/abs

good workout. Had a really bad headache/neck pain from tweaking it last night during sleep some how? Used a little icy hot before working out and got a really good workout in. IT was my first full p90x workout in over a week...Forgot how much I loved them. I really pushed through the workout and raised my reps from last time I did this workout. I'm looking forward to the next time i do this workout because it is the prob. the one I feel strongest in.
Abs were tough as always but feel much stronger then before and I can feel them working hard ..while im invisioning a cut sixpack for the summer:)

vacation/missed workouts

now I have not quite p90x...i did however take a week off. Since the baby has was born ,sleep has been less then usually. Also, i went on a short 5 day vacation to my wife's sister's house. I left my computer at home bag at home on accident and that is where my p90x videos were kept. I did however, get several good runs..and did pushups and core workouts...I did not eat as healthy as usually too...I know not what I should have done in the 90 day transformation. I am going to repeat last week and instead of doing a 90 i will do 97 instead.

I am going to start doubles for the last 3 weeks. Since we will be doing soccer workouts in the afternoons I will be jumping into the fitness with the guys to get around 1 to 1.5 hours of extra workouts in.. Workouts consist of speed agility drills. and other short burst of work with minimum rest. Will see if it helps burn some extra fat. I also will be running in the evening with the guys on longdistance days. I went for some runs last week and actually felt good. First night went for a 4 mile run and made it through really easy...will see how tomorrow goes with the guys and then 90x when I get home

chest/shoulders/tris/abs

great workout today! I worked out at 8:30 pm.. which is late..but...is the time after my kids go to bed...the newborn is throwing a twist into my workout schedule...i get up early to help my wife ...so early workouts are out...usually by the end of the day...im dead...so I think my workouts have been hurt lately...however, I'm still eating very healthy and slowly losing weight ....the hardest thing I have is seeing others drastic transformation and im not seeing that yet...however, I also think most of those people were at a lower starting point then I was. All in and all im super happy with my progress and hope by may I will be at my goal...
tomorrow...the mother of all workouts:) Plyo x....

workouts and measurements

workouts over the weekend were good..played soccer for 90 minutes..and fit in legs/back/abs..which might be my favorite workout...IT is super hard but I pushed through it.

measurements are not as good as I hoped..
weighed 179 this morning
waist was 33.5 (hasn't been this low in 10 years!)
which by my bodyfat calculations ( I teach college math:) ) means I lost 2 pounds of fat and 1 pound of muscle...which means I need to up my calories to not let that happen!
overall did lose 2 pounds of fat which is my weekly goal:)
will take my 60 days pics tomorrw morning and post!
Check back to see if my body has changed...
