    Haven't weighed myself ...kinda afraid to...I hate disappointment, maybe today

    I'd weigh just so you can have some sort of baseline...or do measurements. I get so excited when the scale moves...stupid measurements haven't changed much. I know the scale is just a liar, muscle weighs more than fat...but, I got such a motivational boost when I saw a lower weight. :lol:

    Did Plyo, I still hate it.

    2½ weeks left!

    I got the flu on Sunday, so I'm delayed a bit.
    Pretty sure it caused me to lose weight, but not in a productive way! Haha!

    You really should. You need to track the progress. Also take some before pictures. They serve as a reality check in a way, and you will be very happy later on that you took them. It makes your progress a lot more tangible and satisfying

    Yeah, def weigh yourself and take pics. My weight didn't change too much, but my phase 3 pic results were really nice!!

    I weighed in on day 3 and gained. I pretty much cut my calories to 1600 and am trying to eat my low amount of carbs now before 2pm. I think the diet part is going to take me a while to tweak but working on it.

    It didn't take 3 days for me to get to this weight and it aint gonna take a month to take it all off. I'm going in the right direction.

    I was scared too. I can do the lifting, using a band for the pull ups and modifying where I have to. Believe me, I have a long way to go to keep up with the DVDs but that's the point really.

    Just try it, you have nothing to lose doing it in the privacy of your own home. It is a commitment so be prepared for that. It's 80 minutes for 3 of the workouts, 90 for yoga and an hour for the plyo, kenpo and stretch. You have to find the time and look into your nutrition plan today. Don't wait until you start on Friday.

    This morning I was laying in bed thinking about my workout today. I'm really looking forward to it :D
    A love hate relationship indeed!

    I love Kenpo too! :D

    I suffered thru Yoga, ok, not 'suffer' but today just felt so 'cushy'...way too easy, and I didn't burn a whole lot of calories. :x
    Thinking about P90x2 instead of another round...but I don't know much about 2. :?

    jealous! just finished my first week, only 11 more to go! Feel good, no where near as sore as the beginning of the week. I was bored with the stretch DVD, maybe add a cardio in the future, and still do the moves in stretch but not for an hour.

    I actually really like Stretch X. On my "rest" days, I would always go for a long run, then pop in Stretch X when I got back. Makes the body feel great!! It also helps with getting through Yoga.... :D

    I hit every stretch workout on my last round. Couldnt get enough. Also really learned to enjoy Yoga. The stretching is so good. I love it when I am in an upward dog and my lower back cracks a few times and settles. I also have been running a lot, so I get even more sore and crave more stretching to prevent injury.

    I did day 5 of my p90x and p90x plus hybrid. Legs and Back... and Core/Abs +. Thats a weird workout. Similar to Core synergistics. Its really nice to change up the moves as I feel like I am very used to everything in the originals. There is also a broad on the p90x+ dvds that puts the ones in p90x to shame.

    happy to report I started peeing so much the last few days. I was drinking the same amount of water the whole 7 days and I have been super bummed that I had gained 2 pounds. It must have been my body holding onto the water, If I didn't look at the scale Tuesday I would never have been aware of the gain...I ended up LOSING 2 pounds this week from my start weight. Maybe the rest (stretch) helped my muscles heal and let go of the extra water?
    Whatever it is, I'm ready for week 2!
