back from vacation!

so I took a little vacation to miami...ate what I wanted...only workout was some abs/pushups in the morning and some walking around. Great vacation and can't wait to do it again. Felt ok with having my shirt off.....might be the first time in my life! Still not ripped yet but I don't look bad:) My parents said they are buying me insanity for a gift so I'm looking forward to getting that in the next few weeks..probably wont start until after season so I can hit it head strong....can't wait ...have heard some good things about it...well back to hitting the workouts hard tomorrow! gotta burn those calories I ate during my small vacation!

new stats

well I have taken 4 days in a row off from hard workouts and just did some light stretching/abs/and jumping jacks for 15 minutes in the morning and after lunch. The main reason is last weeks i really felt my strength and recovery time go down. I have been trying to carb cycle to drop some extra weight so i go two days low carbs (only 1 serving for breakfast) then on the third I add a carb to my second meal. The fourth day i have complex carbs for my first 4 meals ( i have been eating 6 meals a day). Then repeat. WEll with the morning cardio and p90x it was TOO much for my body...have been super tired...heart rate has been up in the mornings so i took a couple days off and am going back to regular eating schedule of 6 meals a day with protein/complex carbs for first 3 meals a day and hten protein and veggies for last two meals a day. Think my body will still continue losing weight and let me push through my workouts this way.
so took my stats after the 4 days off and was amazed to see some results in the last two weeks (its been super hard not checking my weight and measuring my waist!!!) I have seen a decent change in ways clothes fit.
last results I took were
June 22
waist 34
weight 178
body fat 16.66%
with 29.65 lbs of body fat
lean body mass was 148.35

Today
waist 32.25!!!!
172
body fat 13%
22.44 lbs of fat
149.56 LBM
fat loss: -7.21 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!
lean body mass gain: 1.21+
now if those are not results of hard work and p90x I don't know what are! In just a little over two weeks I lost 7 pounds of fat and actually gained a pound of muscle. That is usually pretty hard to do! My goal is to lose 2.25 in of my waist by sept 1...think my body has finally made that jump to a fat burning machine! which is the goal of every person who takes part in the p90x structure!

just saw that Insanity is up for sale! Think im going to get that and see if I can push my self throught it! My players will probably love me when I make them go through some of the workouts with me during preseason! I know they loved the plyometric workout :)

shoulders and arms

worked out late today. Rocked shoulders and arms and followed it with ab ripper x. Felt weak today? Pushed throught the workout but wasn't as strong as usually. Wasn't tired during workout...and got a CRAZY burn inthe muscles which was nice. I have been dropping some weight the past week. I didn't believe my eyes on monday when i weighed in! I'm going ot wait to post my results for right before my trip to miami. My goal for sept is a 30 in waist. if the next few weeks follow the trend of last week then I will hit my goal before miami! im just hoping my last few weeks of not missing a workut and eating well has finally kicked in. A friend of mine says that is how it happend for him. He went several weeks with only losing a pound of nothing and all of sudden in a 3 week span he dropped 12 pounds of 4 in off his waist! what a result. I'm hoping that is what is happening to me. I almost feel thinner everyday! which pushes me hardier in the workouts and helps me stay away from bad foods! can't wait to show everyone my update pics in about 2 weeks! keep coming back to see if I have made a change:)
