P90X - Round 2, Day 32 - Plyometrics

Well I didn't think I'd get through this one alone. Alana bailed again and opted for sleep. She's trying to fight off whatever cold I had!

I have to give my thanks to my buddy Vince, for motivating me tonight. He came by the house tonight for a bit, and we talked P90X. He wanted to see all of my progress photos that I took (i.e. 30/60/90 days). I showed him our workout area (i.e. the living room!). Showed him our equipment (a few dumbbells). And I showed him how easy it was to track his food intake. He was jazzed. I was jazzed. It seems like a lifetime ago, I was an out of shape, 210 lbs, lazy, unmotivated, beer drinking, Doritos eating guy. WOW...what a difference 90 days can make. He's now on day 3 and feeling better than he ever has! You can too! Check it out here.

So...anyway, I say "Thanks" to Vinnie for getting me through Plyo tonight! I hate it, but I love it!

P90X - Round 2, Day 31 - Back, Biceps and AbRipperX

WOW! What a difference a day makes!! Or is it the antibiotics?? Anyway....I hit this workout HARD tonight! I got caught up on reading all of the posts I've been neglecting (Jeremy, Christina, Demi, Rob and Barb, and MissResa!) and MAN was I ever motivated tonight! Weird thing though...I petered out during the AbRipper portion! Weird. It wasn't my abs that gave out, I just found it hard to breath...relax....I'm a Respiratory Therapist! I'm not gonna kill myself. I just decided it was time to stop. No harm, no foul. Right? After all...I'm technically still sick!

Anyway....here's the "money shot" post workout! I'm trying to be able to host my own show. What show you might ask??????

:O)

P90X - Round 2, Day 30 - STILL Nothing!

OK. Let me just say: Holy CRAP!!!! What's going on here??!!

Girls, thanks for the motivating comments. They've actually rung out in my head, as I'm trying to recover from this crappy cold/sinus infection, whatever it is!! Funny thing is, now that I've gotten my diet back on track, my workouts are suffering!! Alana and I will definitely be working out tonight. I'm feeling a bit better today. Had the antibiotics for a day now....

The craziness doesn't seem to be slowing down any. Thursday night we have Terminator: Salvation opening (late night, I'm sure!). Friday we head off to the mountains camping for 3 days. Still have tons to get done before we head to the hills! AND...let's not forget work! Shhheeeeez....

Have a great day guys!

P90X - Round 2, Day 27, 28 & 29 - Nothing!

OK...honesty check here. Friday we skipped Yoga, and I can't even remember why!! Saturday we went out to dinner with friends, and Sunday I just plaint felt horrible! So? How do you like the excuses?? There's plenty out there! :O)

We actually should have done chest, shoulders and triceps last night (my favorite workout!!), but we've all been trying to fight off some kind of bug floating through our home. Me, having the weakest immune system in history, ended up taking the brunt of it. No fever, but head congestion, cough, sneezing, runny nose....yeah, a bad cold! Alana has been at work since Saturday, working a 4 day stretch!! (ouch)

Back to work for me today (if they let me stay, with this cold!). I'll try and get caught up on everyone's blogs today!! Hope everyone is doing well....

P90X - Round 2, Day 26 - Core Synergistics

Just dropping a quick post to say "I'm still here", and "I did Core last night". Great workout last night. Alana joined me for the first time in a few days and it was great! The competition was ON! This is a cardio workout though, so all-in-all, she probably kicked my butt! But I think I hung in there pretty good!!

Running late...gotta go! Have a GREAT day everyone!! :O)

P90X - Round 2, Day 24 & 25 - Kenpo/Stretch

MAN..behind AGAIN! Anyway....had a GREAT Kenpo workout yesterday. Alana had to work late, so she bailed, but I think my intensity was pretty high, ever without her motivation for this one! Must have been, 'cuz I sweat TONS! Of course I had just watched Death Race, so I guess I needed to take out a little aggression....poor 'air'!

Tonight I did the Stretch X DVD. I just love the way you feel after this one....like a bowl of jello! Jello...mmmm......Anyway. I'm a little worried what next week will bring. My left wrist has been having a bunch of pain in it. It's almost unbearable just hanging out in the "plank" position. I was hoping that the Stretch would loosen it up a bit, but it hasn't...yet.

P90X - Round 2, Day 23 - Core Synergistics

WHAT???!!! From Day 18 to day 23??

OK, OK...so I've fallen down on my posting duties. Sorry. But, yes. Day 23. Alana and I are into our first rest week since starting round 2 of P90X. Has it really been that long since I did this workout? Man was this ever a sweat-fest tonight!! Alana didn't make the workout. She was in bed at 6PM tonight. She helped our friend Jaycee, deliver their third daughter. Unfortunately, it started at 10:30PM last night, and then little Morgan came around 3:30AM. Alana got home around 5AM this morning and was asleep by 5:02AM...oh, and did I mention she worked a 12 hour shift at the hospital the day before...on Mother's Day???? (What a GREAT wife and mother we have in her!!). So, I believe she had a well deserved night off! PLUS....yeah she's working again tomorrow.

Hey, if you guys haven't stopped in to meet Rob and Barb, please do so! They need everyone's encouragement! As most of you know, you can't do this extreme workout program all on your own! We need each other!
