Everyone welcome Dr. Rob and Barb to the "X"

Hey guys...Jeremy called today to make sure I wasn't dead (you know...since I haven't posted in a while), and I'm glad to say, "I'm NOT dead!"... :O)

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Dr. Rob and his wife Barb have started blogging about their journey with P90X! I've had so much support from everyone here, I just wanted to send everyone a quick note to be sure and stop in and say "hi" to them!

WELCOME GUYS!!

P90X - Round 2, Day 18 - Cardio X

Once again, with the busy schedule...we opted for the Cardio X workout. You know, Alana and I both were feeling good during this workout, and I think we did probably twice as much as they did in the DVD! Are they really bringin' it during this DVD?? Oh well...we "burned the goo" to the MAX!

Short post...gotta go get caught up on everyone else's blogs!! SEE YA! :O)

P90X - Round 2, Day 17 - Shoulders, arms and ARX

OK. I proved Tony wrong. I did 26 side-tri rise on at the end of the workout, and he did not come to my house!! He said he would! Oh well....

I actually moved up in weight on ALL my triceps exercises. WOO HOO! I've always been a big fan of triceps exercises. You know, the glamour muscles everyone wants?? Most people always focus on biceps exercises, but the triceps make up 2/3 of your arm size...so hit your tri's people!!

Also...finally...FINALLY! I did ALL 25 of those %&^)*! Fifer Scissors! 349 ab ripping exercises...in the books!

Also...my cousin Jared just purchased the P90X program, and he's getting psyched to BRING IT big time!! I'm gonna try and get him blogging so he can take advantage of all of the GREAT support that I've received from all of you guys! Wish me luck!

P90X - Round 2, Day 16 - Plyometrics

Alana asked while we were doing this workout last night, "Does this workout EVER get any easier!"...my answer: no. Once again, the sweat fest was on! She can still "bring it" WAY better than I (thanks to my wimpy legs!), then again, I am way better at this than when I first started. Easier? No. Just better....make sense?

So I'm hearing that more and more people are checking out P90X and BeachBody. Well...quit checking it out! Get on board!! Summer's coming and if you want to get ripped, get started! There's plenty of us that are available coaches for you, including myself. Check out Jeremy, Christina or Fred, as well!

P90X - Round 2, Day 15 - Chest, Back and ARX

Starting week 3, round 2 of P90X. Time flies when you're having fun!! CRUSHED this workout last night. I don't know where all the energy came from (maybe I needed that day of nothingness yesterday!!), but I was feeling good last night for this workout! 274 push ups. 50 pull ups (chair free!). 249 ab ripping exercises....felt great! Alana was feeling pretty good herself, and did more than her usual numbers!

I'm finding that with this new healthy lifestyle, pretty much anything I put into my body is getting incinerated! Since starting round 2, I haven't been very strict with my diet, over the weekends. Although, I'm still losing, or maintaining my weight of around 185lbs - 190lbs.

Still bringing it!!!

P90X - Round 2, Day 14 - Rest

So I wasn't going to post anything for my rest day...cuz'....I seriously did NOTHING! But, I did go to the dollar show with a buddy of mine to see the movie Taken. That movie was AWESOME! He kicks butt as good Jason Bourne!! And did anyone else catch it when he used the "Sword/Hammer" move on one of the bad guys?? Like Tony says, "...wanna end the fight?" :O) Anyway...good movie. I highly recommend it!

P90X - Round 2, Day 13 - Kenpo X

Kick. Punch. Swing. SWORD, HAMMER! I love it!! I seriously think that I could take down ANYone with that sword/hammer move!! Think being the key word there! I sent Alana to bed around 7:30PM. She has just had a rough week and not gotten much sleep. And we all know how grumpy people get without sleep, right? So...I gave her a pep talk about "not worrying about missing a workout or two...get some sleep!"...

After the workout, I thought I'd play a little XBOX, but my network connection wasn't working. After I finally got it up and running, I played for about an hour, then another buddy of mine wanted to go see Wolverine. It was another one of those "he really needed to get out of the house" moments, so I couldn't let him down. Soooo, we went to the midnight showing. GREAT movie by the way! I'm a huge fan of the super hero movies, and this one didn't disappoint! ..And "yes", I ate MORE of the BAD, BAD popcorn at the movie theater.

Speaking of that...I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I'm thinking that I'm in need of a diet adjustment. I'm pretty sure that my body is now burning up everything that I put in it!! I weighed in this morning at 185 lbs!!! Yikes! I'm thinking I'll be upping the calories here sooner than later!

RedDawg: if you're up Saturday night, look for me on XBOX! (hint-hint) :O)
