Day 40

How about that 40 days!!! Did arms and shoulders last night. Did not do the double because I was so tired after I did the weights. Oh well. Feeling good, though. Job situation is still influx but I feel pretty good about where God is leading me so no worries.

We actually had pizza last night so I am not sure what we are going to eat tonight. Its not a planned night off since I took off Wednesday but I really do not know. I would really like to try to get to 60 days before we go to Puerto Rico.

Day off

Took the night off last night..... Had some troubling job news. Basically that I for sure will not be back at my current job. It kind of sapped my energy to want to work out last night as my mind was clearly elsewhere. But God is good and I am sure HE will find a place for me to be at next year so no worries....

Gonna try and get it back tonight. Still sore from Tuesday and Monday. Its to be weights tonight and I was thinking if the weather was nice to double it up with some cardio by playing tennis tonight

Off day today

Church tonight and a pot luck dinner at church which is probably not on the P90x diet. I may hit the push ups and pull ups or do some resistance training but no official day

Day 39

Kempo last night. I kind of hit it hard but my back is killing me from day 38. Still got the heart rate up and finished. I like how they are adding new exercises so your body does not get used to the same thing( muscle confusion). Had a Myoplex bar and some water and hit the bed at 10:30PM. Trying to get into bed and asleep before 11 everyday from now on. Need more sleep.

Day 38

Hit it pretty hard last night. Arms and shoulders and an ab ripper x. Plus got some cardio in. Gonna hit cardio hard tonight and then take off Wednesday because of church. Thursday Im going to hit the weights in the morning and then play tennis( if the weather cooperates) in the evening to count the double instead of doing the Kempo

Day 37 and the weekend

Friday night I had my usual pizza night and my day off. Saturday I worked out and Sunday I took another day off. Just did not feel like working out. We wound up going out for chicken wings and I had a few and onion rings and fries. Bad day overall but I earned it. Im back on P90x tonight.

Our trip is coming on June 1st. I am going to try and get to 60 days before we go. On the trip, I am taking my perfect push ups and my resistance band and that will be the extent of my working out for a month.

Day 36 cardio

Instead of doing the P90x cardio day, I took it out for a run last night. One because I needed a break from P90x and 2 to clear my head with all the job stuff going on where I work. It felt good although I should have brought a jacket because it was colder than I thought. I ran ( well 90% of the time) about 1.5 miles. Been a long time since I did that. I also rememebred why I dont because I do have shin splints and they start hurting when I run for long periods of time. But I did do it. Burned off some good calories and will try to add it in everyonce and then as we move through this.

Day 35

Last night should have been cardio intensive but I wound up doing weights instead. I am very sore after 2 days of weights. Today I am going to try and go for a run( which I have not done since college). I have church tonight so no weights and in the bed early. Need to up the cardio and up the sleep to lose more weight.

Hit it hard last night

Arms and shoulders. Just a big night. That 25 pound dumbell is a beast. Gonna get some serious cardio in tonight and will probably try to throw some weights up later, too.

Got my weights finally

Got my new dumbells. Pictures to come later. I got some 25 lbs and some 15 lbs. Gonna be sore tomorrow. and truth be told, the lack of weights did contribute to my motivation in wanting to go hard this weekend.

weekend update

Worst weekend for p90x ever. I did nothing since Thursday night. Axtually I did do some sit up and push ups bu that is it. I ate terribly. I drank a lot of beer. Just did not feel like it. Thursday was great. Friday, pizza, pepsi. No workout. Saturday, woke up early and could have worked out. DIDN'T! Went out Saturday night. Ate great food that is bad for you and then drank 5 Heinikens. I did dance alot of the night so that may have burned off some calories. Sunday was so tired from the night before, I did nothing. Just an awful weekend.

Day 33

Very little tennis. Got through the night pretty well. Today is Friday. Pizza Day. Gotta keep it to two slices. Pepsi tonight, too. Gonna work out tonight because we are going out on Saturday and wont be able to.

Day off yesterday

Church on Wednesday's. Came home late and went to bed. Ate sort of okay last night if you count salisbury steak and potato salad ok. lunch today was vegetables and left over steak. Not sure what is for dinner tonight but I am going to work out tonight. Its a weights day. Still do not have the new, heavier weights. Im having a hard time borrowing them from anyone( like they are working out)

Day 32

Got it done last night..... Heavy cardio! Need to keep it up. Cannot get past 159 pounds. Gotta get my eating in order, too. Still doing well for breakfast but too much snacking at work. Today will be a sort of day off. I have church tonight andn after I will do some resistance training but not really a day on p90x. Trying to get some dumbells today so I can hit the weights again on Thursday.

Day 31

Got through it last night. I am for sure getting stronger because I did alot more pull ups and push ups than I ever had. I would still like to see more in the weight loss department. P90X has levels where you can work and I think next week I may go for the "lean"which is pretty much all cardio. Plus I have maxed out the dumbells I have and I need new ones( 15-20 lbs) so I can start to build muscle again

cardio tonight, weights again on Thursday and playing tennis thursday night

Vacations are bad

Good for the soul and for rest but bad for eating and motivation on a workout program. Back to my job today and back on a more managable p90 schedule. I have done the first 30 days and I have lost about 7 pounds. From the pictures and looks of things, I look better. I certainly feel better. I just need to push through. The next 30 I am going to hit harder than the first and really watch more of what I put in my mouth. Puerto Rico on June 1st and I want to be in decent shape when I hit that beach!

Days 25 and 26

Had to hit it hard to make up for time in Ohio. Been doing Cardio in the morning and then weights at night. Back on track. ate terrible in Ohio. Fried chicken, pizza, skyline, tons of soda and beer.... good time but not for my waistline

Going to Ohio

Have to go to Ohio this weekend for a funeral. Will be eating good, only in Ohio food and probably come back fatter but oh well. Gonna work out today before I leave but be off for Friday and possibly Saturday. Back on the P90x train on Sunday!

Week 2 and Week 3 pictures side by sides
