Got my discs today....just waiting on my bands....then it's go-time! Hahaha

I read the nutrition book today and it forgot to mention alcohol! This could be tough!

I'm a very healthy person as it is, but I want me some booze from time to time!

according to WW, a beer is worth between 3-5 points. Not sure what your points are...I'd guess 35 (?) so you could essentially blow an entire day's worth of points in one night of drinking. Though, it looks like hard liquors are 0 points...better stick with those!

I'm just going to stay and continue on with
PJ20.
Much better program and I eat what I want and drink when I want ~
Makes me feel wonderful and giddy inside.
I just provide the memories in my head.

I got it and the pull up bar, I made it and the weights. I just want to get the diet part down. But I need to quit my vices first. Ima rip the shit outta this semi ripped body!!! Lol. Ya right.

I was trying to post here yesterday...been stuck in the house for over a week due to snow, and somebody is driving me bonkers...

Ok, yesterday weigh in, lost 3", and 5# gone

The workout was much easier and I can do almost double number of push-ups...that means I can now do 10 military push-ups instead of 5.

Weights are getting a lot easier (like in heavy pants & lawnmowers) so I may need to up the weights, but then they might be too heavy for when I'm doing the flys/modified pull-ups... :? I think I have to buy a pull-up bar.

I swear Plyometrics is gonna kill me... it reminds me of 'gym workout' in high school PE...an hour of high intensity cardio. It is getting easier. Not much.

zaro or MayDay, did you notice more weight loss with a recovery drink? The whey protein is great, I know the whole 'build muscle to burn fat...blahblahblah' rule. Just want to get as much of a jump start as I can.

Im pissed. The bands I bought on eBay haven't come. Checked the tracker and it said they were sent to PA...I live in Arizona. WTF? Really annoyed! I don't want to start until everything is here. Grr!

I'm going to attempt this set as soon as the muscle spasm in my shoulder blade eases up.

I want to lose some weight and actually fit into my old Pearl Jam shirts if they (or Eddie) makes it down this way.

DAY 11

Yoga is getting a tad easier, as is everything else...some poses I still cannot do, I feel great that now I can at least do 1 of each of the push-ups. In reality, I did advance much faster than I expected, previously, I couldn't do even one decline push-up, now I can get 5.

I feel and hear snaps and pops from my joints...still cannot master plough position:



Diet is not easy...I live with someone who always wants fast food, and my stomach cannot shift from eating really well to eating crap. The protein shakes are keeping me full for most of the day. I also found out that I cannot workout later in the day...Friday and Saturday: I finally got out of the house (was snowed in for a week) and didn't get a chance to workout in the morning, so I waited 3 hours after a light lunch. When I worked out, I wanted to puke. Working out on an empty stomach first thing in the am=:thumbup:

A co-worker of mine just mentioned that he juices celery for his joints and says after week he feels no pain or pops & crackles :?: Don't know myself. 'Just passion' it-on'

:shock: I would love to stretch like this - I feel like all I do is exercise but never stretch out anymore.

Got my bands today.

Day 1:

Holy crap!
:shock:

Chest and back was far more painful than Abs (which also wasn't too pleasant). Ugh, I'm gonna be sore tomorrow! My arms and shoulder feel like jello right now! My abs feel fine, but my hips are really feelin' it!

I was doing this at a young age before I even knew yoga. I woke up on my 13th birthday with a severe muscle spasm in my neck that didn't allow me to move for days, missed school because of it and had to go to physio two days a week for a month, it still messes with me. My neck is always pushed forward, in high school a friend asked me. "dude, where's your neck?"

I saw one of my sisters friends at the grocery store a few months ago and she was wearing jeans with a tucked in t-shirt and a pair of heels. I was like OMG, you look fabulous! She smiled at me and said p90x. She's 51 and looks about 30.

I am thinking of going Grok, but cheating with a bit of dairy. Probably more like 80 /20. If I start seeing results with a food change I will be more inclined to work out. My gym is so close and the classes are great. It's the motivation I lack.....


Keep going, sounds like your doing great!

awesome! so if I work hard enough...and can look 20 years younger...I'd be Chris Hansen bait!

thanks for the motivation...still chugging away!

DAY 12

Legs and Back

Wall squats are my least favorite, and I still lose my balance on the Toe-Roll Iso Lunge.
Still 'hate' Ab Ripper X...but I can now do a straight leg sit up. Wish I could see my abs better...that's motivation, I hear that your belly is the last place you lose fat.

Tomorrow will be the 2 week mark! Only 78 more days to go after that...I do think I will do Stretch X on the 'rest' day. Thursday I felt so 'lazy' for not working out, and Friday I had that 'I really don't wanna workout' voice going thru my head.

Glad to see youre still going strong. Keep it up.

As far as the recovery drink goes, I do use it. The jury is still out. It tastes good and is a nice shot of Calories and carbs right after a workout. Allegedly it streamlines muscle repair and stifles soreness. I fit it in to my daily diet though as I am really trying to complete this program to the letter.... Kind of an experiment.

I really dont think it is that important to losing weight though. Its a lot of Carbs. Beachbody claims that the carbs shouldnt be counted... but I dont believe that.

Sooooooo not looking forward to going home and doing "Day 2". I hurt.

Gonna have to down some ibuprofen...otherwise it's gonna be ugly!
