    Week 3 and I had a Noticeable Improvement in Yoga X. That gave me a motivation boost for sure.

    I got sick of eggs eating Atkins years ago, sometimes i can't even look at em.

    Trying a greek yogurt today myself. Not looking forward to it because a coworker eats one everyday and it has such a strong smell that I can tell when she's eating it all the way on the other side of our office. It was only a buck so I'll give it a go.

    If you can smell greek yogurt from the other side of the office, that isn't the greek yogurt you should be eating. Just saying. Plain greek yogurt doesn't have a strong smell. If the yogurt you're eating does have a strong smell, I don't believe it would be any good for you. Definitely something added to it.

    That P90X yoga I did two days ago is killing me today. Had issues with my abdomen & legs all day at work. Round two tomorrow morning. :-)


    I was genetically born with a very good sense of smell. Not always a good thing! She eats the yogurt everyday and I smell it everyday! It's not "bad" it's just the way it smells to me. btw, I did not take the plunge and the yogurt is still in my fridge....

    Also, Coco Chanel smells like bug spray to me....a strong nasty ass bug spray. And Poison smells like a skunk. I swear, it's true!

    Great job on Yoga, it will get better!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    :lol: & thanks

    I did chest & back this morning when I woke up. Wow, that is tough. I began to 'fail' during the second round. I had to do the diamond push-ups from my knees & no dive bombers. I skipped the weight exercises also and instead, I either jogged on the spot (high knees) or I jump roped. Debating on doing another round later today. We'll see :crazy:

    I had a bowl of porridge with almonds & blueberries once I was done. Hunger pains were back within an hour. Ran out of protein. Speaking of protein, I recently watched the documentary 'Forks over Knives'. Huge eye opener. I can say that I am done with meat protein for now. Check out the documentary. A must watch (I think)

    Beginning P90X again made me realize the effort everyone is putting in. Great job !!!!

    sprunkn: that will happen from time to time. It will get harder. At some point you will doubt the progress you made and your mind will try to talk you out of your workout. Conversely, once you see noticeable progress, your mind will try to talk you into skipping a day, dropping your diet, etc. You have to push through the whole program and go into each individual day like it is a contest and challenge. Try to win every day. Bad workouts over 90 days are inevitable.

    This is great advice :D

    MayDay maybe you can help me make up my mind...I was going to extend phase 1 (eating and workouts) another week. I read you can add up to 3 weeks somewhere. I can NOT do more than 5 incline or dive bomber pushups!
    I have to decide by tomorrow, I start week 4.

    I try to do the Phase I nutrition throughout. The protein/carb ratio there is optimal for burning fat. I also eat less calories than they recommend. But yeah, extend Phase I as long as you want.

    As far as the workouts go, I would just go with the flow and try to complete the 90 days.
    Dive Bomber push-ups are never easy. Incline, I think will come when your overall core gets stronger (which gets work during "recovery week".

    You will get discouraged with the Core Synergistics workout as well as the 2 new strength workouts for weeks 5-7. They are new, move a little quicker, and the moves are a little more advanced. You are used to what you have done and are probably just getting comfortable and dont need to rely as much on the DVD. Thats a sucky part. What I tried to do before is give myself a preview ahead of the workout, so I have some kind of idea going in.

    Congrats on getting this far. Someone on the beachbody site was telling me that a large percentage of people who hit 30 days complete the program. It is the biggest milestone. So you are almost to that. After 30 days too, the time seems to go a lot quicker.

    so i'm in my 3rd week. not following the plan verbatim (fuck yoga) but it's definitely working. lost about 12 pounds. keeping carbs down (only in morning) and cutting back on the beers has definitely helped me.

    love the chest/back and arms/shoulders work outs as i'm used to lifting pretty regularly. kenpo is cool too. plyo isnt quite as hard as i thought it would be.

    ab ripper fucking kills me though. that shit is tough. and yoga has become my off day. :lol: i'll just go for a long bike ride or something on those days.

    one thing that has really hampered me is not having any space for a pullup bar. the bands are just okay. the grip that beach body provided didn't really hold the band that well. the band would pop out from time to time so i bought new grips at dicks and they are working well. still wish i could use a pull up bar.

    i like the discipline. it's what i've needed. so far i'm more lean and seem to have quite a bit more energy. can't wait to see where i'm at in june.

    yoga DOES suck...I hated it until the last phase. I finally got the hang of the poses...and I'm pretty stoked I can hold the crane position.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    yea, if I put a pull up bar in my apartment it would probably rip the door frame right off :lol: I tried the Iron Man Gym one from Modells and it just didn't sit right.

    You lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks? f*cker.... I lost 3. (but congrats!)

    Just for a boost I measured my waist and lost 2 inches. Pretty happy about that.

    Taking advice from Mayday and following the 90 day workout. I can always continue when I'm finished and follow up with lean, doubles or p90+! Thinking of buying into the coach deal and getting Shakeology delivered. Maybe buy insanity too. I gave up my gym membership to justify some of the expense :oops:
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
