Well, for the first round anyway! MAN did we ever BRING IT tonight! I guess it was because it was the "last" night for a while, that we'd be doing this workout...who knows. Anyway, had to call our latest recruit, Dr. Rob, and warn him about this one...Don't worry Rob: you get used to not being able to feel your legs! :O) (I'm kidding....sort of).
OK, so now I have to get to sleep fast (which shouldn't be a problem) because I have our men's group and Nehemiah chapter 11, at 6:30 in the morning. It's amazing how God can drag all of us guys up at such an early hour to study His Word! Praise God for that!!
Good night all...

P90X - Day 78 - Chest, Shoulders and Tris (w/ARX)
I've said it before. I'll say it again (and again, and again...): LOVE this workout! Even though I didn't feel the energy level was where I thought it should be, I brought it, BIG TIME! ALL exercises went up in weight/reps. 14 plyo push up's Jeremy! On my 15th, I actually landed but couldn't get my face back off the ground! :O( Alana is finally doing the "no knees" push ups, although when she gives out, she does hit her knees (GREAT for her!!!). She has always said that she couldn't do push ups like that...NOW look what she can do!
I've had an issue with my energy levels lately. Not sure what it is. But I have to figure it out soon! I've been OVERly tired ALL the time! Still getting in the workouts, but just haven't felt "right".???? We'll see. Could just be the simple fact of not getting enough sleep. We've been hitting our workouts pretty late in the evening, so we're gonna try and correct that this week. Could be the diet?? I have to take a closer look at that when I get the chance...Oh well. Next week is the "rest" week! Yeah right, rest???? :O)

P90X - Day 77 - KenpoX
Well, we had a "bad" eating day today. We met some friends (mainly for the kids to get together) at a pizza place today. I had 2 BIG slices of meat (grease) laden pizza! Pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon. Meat, meat, meat! DANG was it ever good! Then it was off to praise band practice for 3 hours (I was asked to play this weekend!), then came home and ate meatloaf (not the singer!) and mashed potatoes. All that with only a MetRx shake and a banana for breakfast, made for some pretty poor intensity for tonight's workout. Still brought it. Still sweat. But just didn't feel like I was all there...weird huh? I did get to squeeze in the Recovery Drink. As they say on the DVD's: M-O-N-E-Y!
Jeremy. Dude. I know FULL well what you mean about the 'ole cheeks! Mine are killing me after doing legs and back last night. I also noticed my lats hurting more with the punches and blocks tonight. I guess that means I had a pretty good workout last night though, huh? Oh well. Tomorrow we get a break from the butt and back, and hit on the chest/shoulders/tris! ...I like! :O)

P90X - Day 76 - Legs and Back (& ARX)
Well after working yesterday, and watching a movie with the girls after working a 12 hour shift at the hospital, Alana decided on another RestXXXXXXXX day! She was pooped! Sooooo, while she has been zzzzzzz'ing, I did my best doing one of the workouts I dislike the most. I "brought it" though baby! I just checked to see exactly "no chair" pull up I did: 34! Woo- HOO! My back is on F-EYE-YA! Legs? Yeah well...it was legs.
Ab Ripper: FINALLY - 347 "ab ripping exercises". I missed the 349 by 2 on the Fifer scissors! But, it's coming!
Off to play a little XBOX and wind down a bit before bed...Jeremy: XBOX 360, World at War...but you never heard that from me! Christina would kill me if I got you hooked on that! ...oh wait. She's probably reading this too!....umm....."you didn't read a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g..."

P90X - Day 75 - Stretch X
Well, winter started today for us here in Denver! Blizzard conditions for most of the day. About a foot of snow...so far! (Praise God!!). Alana was working at the hospital today, but made it home safe, however, since I left work early, I've been home since 3 today. I figured, why not, and popped in the Stretch X DVD. Alana has a night out 'with the girls' and we had planned on our 'rest' day today...so I'm stuck at home...alone. :O(
Don't worry. I didn't loose my kids. Because Alana and I were both working today, we took them over to Aunt Nicky and Uncle Robb's house last night. I just couldn't get over to pick them up this afternoon, so they're staying another night.
So, I can NOT believe how flexible I've become! The "shoulder stand to plough"?? I can do it!! I still laugh when I hear Tony say, "...now just drop your knees down by your ears...". That just doesn't sound right. BUT, I can DO IT! The knee was still a bit sore for some of the stretches, but I ploughed through (pun intended!).
Oh and welcome Dr. Rob Byrum to the P90X gang!! His wife just ordered it for him! Rob is a long time friend of mine, and will be camping with us this June (when it's REAL hot here!). So, we're gonna be the 2 'buff' guys walking around the campsite this year! WOO-HOO!

P90X - Day 74 - CardioX
Alana absolutely gets "giddy" when we do this workout. She loves that it's such a short workout (in comparison to the rest!), and the amount of sweat produced, and just the overall workout you get from this!! For me? It's OK. I've never been a 'cardio' type guy, but I can't argue the fact, that when you do this workout, you can almost see the 'goo' melting away from your midsection! THAT, I love!
Well with the proven results of the P90X program, I've decided to take the step to become a BeachBody coach! I was quite the skeptic, with these sorts of 'workout' programs when Alana gave this to me for Christmas. But, I can't argue with the results (or the pictures!). This is definitely a great way to keep others motivated and show how ANYone can achieve his or her fitness goals with the help of others (thanks Branson's!!!!).

Wow. Does that sound like a sales pitch or what!!?? Sorry. :O)

P90X - Day 73 - Shoulders and Arms (...and AbripperX!)
Well it was a little sad. That was the last time for this workout...well, for this round of the "X" anyway! :O)
This workout is M-O-N-E-Y! Shoulders and arms are what will show off all of this hard work, when putting ion the P90X tank top this summer!! I can't wait! Alana is loving the way she looks and feels. I tell ya, this P90X thing is absolutely the best thing that has happened for us in a long time! Not only do you end up looking great, but the way it makes you feel is wonderful! Not to mention healthy!
