Friday

Pizza night came and went. 2 and a half slices. Not too bad. 2 glasses of pepsi. I actually had like 3 junior mint cookies, too.

Overall not a bad day off.

No updates recently

Been super busy on a work project.... updates should be coming back soon.
Still working out although I missed one day of Yoga. Back on the saddle yesterday for day 15 and day 16 tonight. Pictures to come soon!

Friday, March 19

Its pizza day. Breakfast was fine. then for lunch, way too much chik fila. Had a sandwhich and nuggets. and fries. AHHHHH! Then its pizza night too. Tonight may have turned into an unplanned day off.

Day 14 Plyometrics

Crazy Cardio. Again pushed myself hard on all three sets. Hopefully will see something soon in regards to this. Had a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich for my post snack last night. Probably not the smartest move.

Day 13 Chest and Shoulders

Very sore. I pushed myself harder today than any other day. I may even do week one over because I never had the push up/pull up things and they help alot. Its weird. In the morning, I see myself and I am like yeah. But by the time night comes, its Jabba the Hut again.

Last night and Today

Went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Had about 10 wings, 1 heineken, and a basket of onion rings. Did not work out last night. Had to punish myself today. Oatmeal for breakfast, grilled chiken salad and protein shake for lunch.

Have church tonight and then I need to workout. It will be day 13 I think. Its the start of the last three week cycle. I weight 160 this morning. Starting to see some slim down. Need to push myself this next week and really start to see the results and feel the burn

Day 12-Kempo

Had a good kickboxing workout last night.... Had a power milk after the workout. Today is the day off/stretch. Headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for some food and a couple of beers.

Lunch today

had beef fajita meat and a vegetable salad( corn and green beans). Dinner tonight will be leftovers from yesterday( beef, rice, and beans)

Tonights workout is the kempo( kick boxing/cardio). My muscles could use the break so I am ready for that. Not as sore as I had been in the past

2 Workouts

Sunday I worked out twice. Once after church with resistance bands and then my regualr P90x workout. Had to make up for that Saturday night and all those plantains I ate.

Weight as of Sunday morning, 161 pounds. I can actually start to see some of the results. My belly is not near as big( which is probably the lack of drinking soda), I am starting to narrow in the waist, and my lats are starting to bump up just a bit.

Weekend Food

I spoke about the pizza night Friday

Saturday, I had a protein shake for breakfast. Then a 6 in subway sandwhich for lunch. For dinner we had steak fajitas which were really good if not that good for me. For some reason Saturday night I could not stay full and was snacking like crazy that night.

Sunday breakfast was a protein shake and for lunch roast chicken and pasta. For dinner we had ground beef, rice and beans. Plus we had fried plantains which for sure are not good for me.

Sore

Very sore from last nights workout although I made it through it for maybe one exercise. Would still like to see more results from being this sore.

Breakfast and Lunch

Had some baked chicken and some ravioli for lunch and a smoothie for breakfast. Today is my cheat day so I will be eating pizza and drinking soda.

Tomorrow is Power Yoga. Gotta stay strong on the weekend about the food. Do not want to wreck everything binging on bad food.

Side by Sides

It was suggested that I do some pictures side by side for comparison. Can you see any differences?

My new friends

Actually I hate them all especially that pull up thing!

1 week pictures

Side view, gut still sticking out a little bit

Not looking too bad here. You can still see the love handles on the side, though. Nice crease of fat on the left side.

Day 8 Polymetrics

Kick ass cardio last night. Got through it. Very hard and was worn out totally but doing alrigh today.

Had an awful meeting today but was able to get lunch at subway. Six inch Italian BMT, baked chips, diet lemonaide.

Breakfast this morning was 3egg whites scrambled with 1 egg whole. 1 piece honey, wheat toast.

Tonight for dinner I don't know. Day 9 is the arms and shoulders I think. Got my free weights so I can knock that out tonight.

week 1 vitals

pictures hopefully tomorrow. Could not get them downloaded this morning

weight 163

eye test- seems to look better. have lost in some ugly areas to look at but overall just scratching the surface. Hopefull weight by day 14, 160 pounds.

Breakfast/Lunch

Breakfast- Protein shake with OJ, strawberries, blueberries, and apples.

Lunch today- 4oz steak, 4 oz grilled chicken. I have potato salad but may not eat it because its crazy fattening. MEAT LUNCH!!!!

Dinner last night was grilled pork chop, corn on the cob and the potato salad.

Day 7

Starting the process over.... Honestly I am not sure if i can count day 1 from week 1 since I did not have the pull up bar. Pull ups will where you out and I am so sore today. I could not even finish the 2nd set. and underarm pull ups...forget it. I need to practice and do more pull ups to build up my endurance for week 3.

Dinner last night

We had spaghetti with meat sauce. I was fine but I took two servings. 1 because I was hungry. 2 because I fooled myself to thinking since I was working out I needed the carbs!!

Breakfast/lunch today

Oatmeal for breakfast. No fruit to go with it because it was not ripe.
Lunch today, 4 oz marianted grilled chicken breast and vegetable salad.
Plenty of snacks to go with it and tons of water

Legs and Back

Last nights workout was not too bad. I'm finally not sore every minute of the day. I forgot that day 6 was with an Ab Ripper x, though. So 200 ab execises later and I was dead when I went to bed finally.

Gonna start week 2 today. Remeber the first 3 weeks are the same excerises from week 1. So is day 7 today which is chest and shoulders. Alot of sit ups( for ab ripper x) and a ton of pull ups and push ups tonight. Lets see if this stuff is actually working.

Photo's to come tomorrow

Vitamins and other purchases

I did get some vitamins over the weekend. I am taking Flak seed oil, ginseng, my regular multivitamin, and fish oil.

I also purchased the pefect pull up and push up thing( pictures to come soon) for when I start week 2 of the first round. I have used them both already and I am going to be crazy sore!

I am going to post pictures after week 1. I guess the way I messed up the order I will post them on Tuesday night. Now tomorrow is my strecth/rest and Wednesday is week 2 with lesson 1.

Breakfast and lunch today

For breakfast today I had a whey protein shake with OJ, pineapple, strawberries, 1/2 and apple, blueberries. It was yummy and it fills me up so I brought no snack for the morning. Nothing till lunch time.

Lunch is 70z salmon and steamed brocolli.

Day 6-Legs and Back

I just looked at my blog and I got the order mixed up. I thought today was my rest day but its actually legs and back. And it should have been yesterday with Kempo today. I am new at this. Gotta get it together.

The weather is nice today. I am going to take my son out to play some tennis. I will probably warm up a bit myself today and get some cardio in before working out tonight.

Sunday-Day 5 Kempo

Sunday was to get back on the wagon after the trip. Woke up, did some push ups and sit ups just to get my heart pumping right again. I weighed myself and it said 160 and I was like WHAT!? That means I lost 6 pounds in less than a week and that did not seem right but the scale was set correctly.

Did all my church things. Oatmeal and a bannana for breakfast. Lunch I had Italian dressing marianted chicken and vegetable salad( corn and green beans). Dinner-- well I had about a 4 oz steak and about a four 0z salmon( not bad, right) AND THEN I had brocolli but I had mac and cheese and Corn on the cob which was bathning in butter.

So when I weighed myself last night I was 165 or so. same scale. Not sure what is up with the fluxuation.

Kempo was fine. Alot of punching and kicking. Not as sore as I have been but I did have two days off.

First Weekend on P90X

Well it was weird.

Friday was my day off. It was fine. I had a 6 inch Subway Club, diet lemonade, and baked chips for lunch. Not too bad.

We had pizza for dinner. I had 2 slices and 2 glasses of Pepsi but that was it. I was doing pretty good and then..... I heard that my Aunt who has been sick, was in the hospital and Hospice is going to be coming to take care of her soon. I am a stress eater and that made me more stressed out. I was good until later and had a bowl of Reduced Sugar Frosted Flakes. Not great.

Then Saturday, the family travled to Alabama to see my aunt. Traveling is no good for eating. However, I bought this whey protein shake formula and had that for breakfast. That filled me up really good. I did not snack short of raisins and then for lunch had a chicken sandwhich McDonalds and like 5 french fries and a Sprite. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

For dinner I had a Cobb Salad at TGIF. Pretty bad day for eating.

Breakfast Today/Cheat Day

Today is actually my cheat day but I tried to stay good with it. I had a 4 eggs scrambled with 3 of them being egg whites and 1 piece of honey wheat toast with jelly.

Snacks today include a 100 calorie Lorna Doone Cookie pack, 2 boxes of raisins, and 1 bannana.

Lunch I think I am going to go to Subway but I don't know yet. Today is my cheat day. I am off from P90X and Friday is always pizza night in my family. I am scared. I eat alot of pizza and drink a ton of soda on Friday. Need to show some control( not sure if I have any, though)

Back on P90x tomorrow.

Day 4: Power Yoga

Yoga proved to me what I already knew.... I am not that flexible. I was able to get through it but some of it was tougher than I thought it would be. Today is the first day that I am not that sore.

How much do I eat in a day?

I love to eat and I love to snack more than eat so I know my caloric intake is probably higher than it should be. So I was looking at what I have today based on calories for lunch and breakast

For breakfast I had instant oatmeal. Its 160 calories. Then I have a bannana and a pear for a snack while at work. Bannan has about 100 calories and so does the pear. A box of raisins has 160 calories and I have for lunch 2 talapia filets and steamed vegetables which I am guessing is probably around 400 calories. Plus 2 100 calorie snack packs. So between lunch and breakfast, over 100o calories and then a dinner that is probably inbetween 500-600 calories so that leaves me around 1600-1700 calories a day which is not too bad. factor in that I am working out, I should see some sort of results soon( I hope)

Day 3 arms and Shoulders

Got through it. Was a little worried but I did make it. Had to use mu resistance bands instead of the dumbells because I do not have dumbells yet. Will try to get them for week 2. I lost 1 pound since I started on Monday( only 15 more to go). The worst part of day 3 is Ab ripper X. I am not flexible enough and not in shape enough to do many of the exercises. It shoul be better for week 2. I wound up doing probably 150 crunches( spread out over a few sets of course).

Where are the results?

I know its only day 2 but I am so sore and want to see something for all this hard work. It did take me a long time to get to this point so I guess i should not expect anything so quick but damn I am in pain. Let me see at least a 1 pack in my gut

Breakfast and Lunch Day 2

Breakfast today was Oatmeal and a bannana. Since we had the two hour delay, I wound up having an apple with peanut butter for a snack.

Lunch today is grilled chicken and a vegetable salad( corn and green beans). I have a pear and banana for snack and once again more water.

I want a pepsi Hopefully Friday during my cheat day

Day 2 P90X

Polymetrics is really just a fancy name for kick you a** Cardio. I made it through it though and did most of the excericises. I am more sore from that than I was from Day 1. Tonight is arms and shoulders I think and I am not sure I can lift my arms.

2 Hour early release

Food

The hardest part of this for me is going to be the food. I LOVE FRIED FOOD!!! French fries, potato chips. I have to hold that part down or all this will be for naught.

Today for breakfast, I had Oatmeal and 2 glasses of water

Snack at school today was 2 pears, a small box of raisins and more water

Lunch will be 2 filets of Talapia and steamed mixed vegetables. For dinner, whatever Walma is cooking. Hopefully its not fried chicken or pork chops. DAMN!

Day 1 P90x

March 1st was Day one doing p90x...actually I am using a bootleg version of P90x until my copy comes in the mail. I had set March 1st as my day to start so I am starting until then.

Day 1 was chest and shoulders and I am out of shape. I was able to do much of it but not all. Alot of push ups and pull ups in that and I am nowhere near strong enough to pull it off yet. But I made it through and the ab shredder, too.
