I slept in again (wow 5 AM is EARLY). My goal for today was to workout after work. But I did a few things and before I knew it something came up. The family wanted to go to the County Fair. See, that’s the problem with not doing it in the AM. It’s also the hard part about Summer. Always something going on.

So, I decided to workout after the fair.

Uh oh… just got home from the fair, it’s 11PM. TOO LATE to workout!!! And now it’s so late that I doubt that I’ll get up at 5AM. Vicious cycle.

I think that I’ll end up re-doing this week.

I didn’t get around to doing PlyoX today, Summer got in the way again.I did go boating and tubing today so I got in a small workout. I never thought that I’d say this, because I love Summer so much, but I’m kinda looking forward to the weather changing so that I can get back into a routine. It’s soo hard right now.

Well, till next time… Bring It!

Falling a little behind on P90X. Since this is my second round of it I am not too worried, “I’ll do my best and forget the rest.”

On Day 62 I missed my KenpoX workout. Instead I worked in the backyard cutting down branches and cutting them into small pieces.

Day 63 was a rest day and I rested. Well, I rested as far as P90X is concerned, I actually did a lot more yard work though.

Day 64 I overslept and missed the workout in the AM but did it right after work. It was the Chest, Shoulders, Tris and ABX workout. Loved it!

I knew that the Summertime would make it hard to stay on track and that’s exactly what is happening. It’s harder to get to bed early enough to get up on time to workout. It’s also harder to force myself to do the Saturday workout. There’s always so much going on during the weekends.

That’s OK, I’ll do my best and then it’s nose to the grindstone when the weather changes.

Till next time… Bring It!

Actually woke up almost on time this morning. I was able to do the whole P90X Legs and Back workout but I had to cut the AB Ripper X workout a little short. Ran out of time for it.

Once again, great workout but I can tell that I have lost a very small amount of fitness from the week off.

I feel like I am looking better/leaner again. I had put on some weight/body fat/water weight from the vacation. Too many beers! Need to concentrate on diet, that’s still the hard part for me.

I had my first P90X peak performance protein bar today. One word.. AWESOME! I gotta get me some more of those. Thanks Sis!

Till next time… Bring it.

Oh, and one final note… I don’t normally mix “real life” stuff in my posts but today is a very sad day and I wanted to acknowledge the passing of a very special person. The Last Lecturer, Randy Pausch succumbed to pancreatic cancer today, he was very inspirational.

I over slept AGAIN! Man, sleeping in on vacation has ruined me. I need to change my body clock a bit and get to bed earlier. I missed my YogaX workout today due to sleeping in but I did get a bit of a workout in after work. I trimmed a bunch of branches from an apple tree in our backyard and wow was that hard work. Good sweat too.

Till next time… Bring It!

I did do a second workout yesterday in order to make up for the missed day on Monday. So yesterday I ended up doing Chest and back in the morning and then I did PlyoX in the eve. Wow, what a day.

So today I overslept again and had to do my workout in the evening. I can tell that I have a lot more intensity when I workout in the afternoon or evening, today was no exception. It was a great Shoulders, Arms and ABX workout but I can tell that I lost a tiny bit of fitness due to the week off. Felt great none the less.

Till next time… Bring It!

Back from vacation and back on the P90X train again. Officially starting Phase III today. I could not get up at 5AM yesterday (Monday) and missed Chest and Back. But I did get up on time today and I did yesterday’s Chest and Back. Love it! Love this workout. I always get a great pump from this one.

I’m hoping that the week off did me good. I feel like it did. Time off is good now and then and I’m sure my body needed to recuperate.

Now what to do about today’s missed Ab Ripper X (ABX) and PlyoX? I think I will do PlyoX after work today. Since ABX in on the calendar for tomorrow I think I will just skip it today.

Till next time… Bring It!

Well, I missed XStretch yesterday (Day 53) and I’m a little bummed about that. But I stayed up waaaay to late on the night before last and there was no way that I could get up at 5AM.

But I made up for it today. Core Synergistics was awesome today. Plenty of intensity. Great workout.

VACATION Tomorrow!!!!! I may not post for a week. I’ll be on vacation and doing a modified Phase III week 1. The week after vacation I’ll be traveling and have to do modifies Phase III week 2 while in a hotel. But rest assured that I’ll be back at it when life returns to normal.

Till next time… Bring It!

P90X KenpoX was the workout of the day. I WAS able to drag myself out of bed but I was pretty sluggish this morning. I slogged through the workout but my intensity was not there. I felt like I was at about 50 to 60% intensity and sure enough, my Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) confirmed it after the workout was over. I usually burn a minimum of 1000 calories during that workout but today I only burned about 600 calories. I guess I know my body pretty well when I predicted the 50 to 60 %.

I’m hoping for more intensity tomorrow.

Till next time… Bring It!

Well I’m a bit bummed. I missed the P90X Day 48 kenpoX workout and the Day 50 YogaX workout. Day 49 was a rest day so I was OK there. I have missed days in the past due to vacation but those were planned. These 2 missed workouts were due to over sleeping and then feeling too tired in the afternoon to workout. I think that I’m coming down with something. I’m tired and I have a slight ache in my right side groin gland. Something is up, I just hope it’s all gone before vacation next week.

This is recovery week and I did do the Core Synergistics workout today. I had a great workout and a great sweat but when I was done I felt like I was even sicker.

Fingers crossed!

Happy Independence Day fellow Americans!

P90X Legs, Back and ABX this AM. Even this is a Holiday today I still got up pretty early to get my workout out of the way before the parties start.

It was a pretty good workout but I felt like I was dragging a bit. Maybe it was because I went for a 5 mile run yesterday evening.

ABX still kickin my butt.

P90X YogaX felt pretty good today. I felt strong this morning and was able to turn up the intensity a bit more than last week. Unfortunately I overslept by about 15 minutes so to make up for it I skipped the YogaX one leg poses (I hate those anyway) and I skipped the ommms at the end.

Great day.

Had a great P90X PlyoX workout on day 44. Great sweat. Really brought the intensity.

Day 45 Back, Bis and ABX was great too. I was off on a couple of exercises but was able to add a couple reps to my max on other exercises. All in all and good workout. AB Ripper X still kickin my butt though. Someday I’ll conquer it.

Till next time… Bring It!
