P90X round2 Day 2 why oh why

Monday, January 04, 2010

Today was one of those "why am I doing this to my body again" kinda days. I suffered through plyometrics today, I was totally lacking energy. I made it, it wasn't pretty but it made me wonder if I took too little time off or perhaps too much I know that I still worked out for my whole week but definetly not that intense so it seemed like my body had forgotten how to work that hard. Its like Tony says do your best and forget the rest and today that was my best.

You are a workout machine, you cant do that all the time, so once in awhile, this is expected. Hang in there. You did your best, you always do... so take care of you! Have a great Tuesday. Report Inappropriate Comment

Do what you can, your body will adapt! I give you credit, several months ago I tried plyo and I couldn't even get through it.... I hated it! You can do this, you know it, and I know it. Report Inappropriate Comment

P90X Round 2 day 1

Sunday, January 03, 2010

At it again only this time I am looking for some major gains by phase 2. I am also doing a lot more cardio this time around since I have so much more energy than I did the first time. I have taken to doing some time on the bike and then about a half hour of jogging laps in my house, this is mostly so I can be ready when it is time to get outside and jog, I want my body to be used to the motion of jogging. I am increasing my bike time on the days that I am not jogging, but my goal is to do about an hour a day additional cardio. Had a little weight plateau the last couple days but I actually added some calories in and today I lost a pound woo hoo! Another thing I have added in is doing some ab work before bed each day, I have one of those ab lounge chairs and I thought why not dust that off and get just a little more fitness each day and see if I can't flatten my tummy out some more. Looking forward to this whole second round I think it will be very successful for me.

I started my round 2 today too... just finished actually! Cardio is definitely a great idea. One thing I'd highly recommend is interval training. At any level, interval training will get results faster than just your standard cardio. Continue pushing play... and of course, don't smash your face! Report Inappropriate Comment

Starting all over again tomorrow.

Starting round 2 of p90x tomorrow, can't wait to see the results I get this time. I have enjoyed my "rest" week mostly done some cardio just to keep my fitness level up and I have done some really light strength training. Kept up with my nutrition throughout the holidays so I have continued to lose/maintain weight loss over the season. Now here is to getting to my overall goal.

Good luck to you. It sounds like you have a plan and that you are very motivated since you didn't take your off time too lightly. Good job, girl! Report Inappropriate Comment

2009 Reflections

Thursday, December 31, 2009

After reading someone elses' blog I decided to take their idea and look back at my first blogs of the year. One thing I realized that needs to be on my resolutions list this year is to be a more positive person. I know the reasons for all the negativity and much of that baggage is gone, the boyfriend, the house project is close to complete although I am still stressing a little bit, and excuses. I am definetly feeling a lot better about exercise at the beginning of the year I viewed it as a chore, where now i view it as a good thing a habit I don't want to quit. I am eating a lot less and having basically no binges where it seemed like early on in the year about once or twice a week I was writing about a big eating binge that left me feeling like crud. It'll be fun to continue to read them over the next couple days.

Excellent results. I have been debating on P90X or a local gym membership. I think I will go with P90X. Report Inappropriate Comment
