P90X - Day 63 - KenpoX

Love this workout....Although I think that point has already been established. More kicking, punching and blocking. You'd think that after doing this for so long, we wouldn't look so un-coordinated doing this. The funniest is the "star blocks". Both of us just kind of wave our arms around as fast as we can! Still feel the burn in the shoulders, but look silly as heck doing it! Not much else to say.

DO NOT SEE WATCHMEN!

:O)

P90X - Day 62 - Rest

We took a rest day yesterday. Alana was called in to work early this morning, so neither one of us had our planned "sleep in" day!

Last night me and another Christina buddy of mine, went to see the movie "Watchmen". I emphasize Christian buddy, because both of us were disgusted that neither one of us told the other, that we wanted to walk out of that movie. DO NOT SEE WATCHMEN! I am a H-U-G-E movie fan (especially the "super hero" movies!), and can pretty much tolerate anything in a movie (it's Hollywood, right?). They went to far with this movie. While I understand it is an "R" rated movie, they blatantly and frequently 'mock' Christianity throughout this movie. I won't even mention how because it was such a disgusting movie. Not to mention it's over 3 hours long. DO NOT SEE WATCHMEN!

OK. Stepping off my soapbox now...

P90X - Day 61 - Legs, Back & AbRipperX

Only one word can describe last nights workout for me: "BONK"!!!!!

Yuk! I don't know if I had mentally psyched myself out for this workout, or what. But it stunk (...and not just because of the fiber bar I ate earlier in the day!)....Every exercise was less than what I had previously done (not by much...but none the less...). Meanwhile, Alana was keeping up with the 'kids' in the DVD! I'm very proud of her for doing so well (i.e. better than me!). I'm quite content with my two little nine irons sticking out of my shorts...I think that's part of my problem: complacency! Oh well...did my best and now it's time to "forget the rest"!

On to KenpoX Tonight!!! WOOO_HOO!!!! :O)

P90X - Day 60 - Cardio X

OK. In celebration of day 60....day 60!!! We did the Cardio X workout. This time Alana joined me for the workout. Man she's good at this workout! I have to say, during the Kenpo portion, it really made me miss KenpoX! When do we do that again?? During the Plyo portion: yup. Goin' air born!! I'm actually looking forward to the next Plyo workout as well! Did I just say that??

Took the 60 day pics. At first glance, I'm not as impressed as I thought I'd be. I haven't actually done the comparisons yet, just took a quick glance at the photos. Maybe I'll post 'em...I'll have to see...

Only 30 days left!! :O)

P90X - Day 59 - Shoulders, Arms and AbRipper X

NIIIIIIIIICE! What a great workout! The "glamour" muscles. Alana was laughing at the weight I was using during the first week of this thing. And I can't say I blame her...HOWEVER....the weight last night was WAY up! Again, I felt like I was back in my 'dungeon', doing my good 'ol iron workout with my free weights! Grunting. Sweating. Growling. It was great!! Although I think I may have scared Alana a bit...but she hung in there none the less! I have to say...she is looking AWESOME! And to see her doing biceps curls...well, that just does something for me! ;O)

I think we're gonna try Jeremy's Cardio workout, with the Yoga belly 7 tonight..."burn the goo"!!

P90X - Day 58 - Rest X..er..Stretch X...er...OK, CardioX!

Yeah so...trying to explain how I got to these listing of my "days", is a mathematical equation that even Einstein would shy away from...

So we (Alana) had figured on a 'rest' day for Monday, however, I chose to 'skip it' (hence, the beginning of the problem) and melt some more "goo" around the waist! Yup. Hit the Cardio X last night. Great workout. Although I had to do this by myself last night, I still brought the intensity! Sweat tons and feel GREAT again today! What a difference from my 'first' postings. I remember every workout "killing" me slowly! I thought I was going to die during those first weeks! Oh well...sticking with this program was the best thing that I've ever done for my body.

Reading the Phase III diet, I don't think I'll be following that part exactly. I checked with some fellow P90X'ers, who say just do what your body is reacting to. I'm doing pretty well on the Phase II diet right now, but I think I'm going to try dropping the calories, and increasing the carbs a bit! We'll see how I feel doing that. I plan on "bringin' it" even more during this last phase...

P90X - Day 57 - Plyometrics

Sweaty!!!! Continuing to melt away the flab covering up my abs (that's how I like to think of 'sweat' these days!). I think I did better than I have ever done with this workout before! I don't have a whole lot more to say on this today...guess I'm running out of stuff to blab about!! 60 day pics are coming shortly, so hopefully that'll re-ignite my chattiness!

Supposed to have a 'rest day' today, but I feel like I should do some Cardio X, or maybe Stretch X or something. We'll see how I feel when I get home tonight! Alana will definitely be taking a break today, as she's working a 12 hour shift at the hospital, then getting up in the morning to do it all again. We had a lat night last night, so I think she needs the rest!

The dinner last night was a lot of fun. Although today I feel guilty about eating ALL of that food! Not that it was all bad for us, but it was a lot! The wine on the other hand? (Mental note: probably not a good idea!)

Guess I had a bit more to chat about than I thought! Shutting up now! :O)
