P90X Day 3 and 4 Kenpo / Legs and Back / ABS X

It's been four days and I have stayed focused on the P90X funny most people post their 30 days 60 and 90 and I'm excited about my fourth lol.
Friday I unfortunately mixed up the two workouts and by accident I completed KenpoX - I don't think it will make a dramatic difference, as I'm still learning the routines themselves. Kenpo was mainly focused on martial arts cardio ! It was hard, but I was able to handle it - I took frequent breaks and was very focused on listening to my body. I had a recovery drink, and during the day I think I had yogurt with granola and raspberries - almonds and then for dinner my sin ... pizza, 3 pieces - but I only had two beers and spent the evening being fairly well behaved, so I could handle this am.

I realized this morning I skipped over a routine - LEGS / Back and ABX. I kept wondering why I didn't have another ABX routine. Once I figured it out I performed the workout, I think I am really struggling with balance.I also need to focus on my amount of reps and depth of reps.
ABX was HELL
I am really struggling with it - but again did the best i could
I of course had a recovery drink, and went to mow the lawn about 1/2 way through I had a 1/2 of a muscle milk bar = tasty - chewy - I then moved onto raspaerries :)

I can feel my body reacting - it's positive :)

[-02.20] P90X - Still Bringing it !

It's been a while since i've written online, and admittedly I have not had a good week of eating... but ... but I'm pleased to announce that I have stayed focused and am still on track. After traveling to Ontario, I took a full ten days off, my knee was driving me nutz, swollen, ugh ! But what worked out well, is I restarted, and Beth joined me in the daily regime. Even better, we have been getting up at 6 AM and focused on a full hour of bringing it with P90X !
The weekends, we take off, so we are working out 5 days a week, but what I really like about it is that it feels like our job, our routine. Just another 9 days to our good habit !

Today I weighed in - I have lost a few more ! So pleased with myself - still focused !

[-02.90] P90X

I have been faithfully working out - I have committed - and I deserve it. Damn it I am finally seeing progress and I feel good !!!
As people have been asking me what I have been doing, I have explained that I have not been making food my enemy, and instead I've been making some adjustments, but the single most effective part of my success, clearly working out.
I overheard Kelly Osbourne ... "I've worked hard" - and I get it.

p90X - Tuesday !!! PLYO BABY

I have to say yesterday i was feeling bottom of the barrel ! I struggled like mad getting downstairs and working out. Big mistake deciding to wait longer in the day and execute at 4, but thankfully I did get it done !
Today was PLYO - YEAH ME !
It was better no doubt an improvement from last week and dammit it was tough ! I feel good though had a good recovery with smushed bananner in it - delish !

P90 PX - Still going

OK I missed Wednesdays Yoga - day of hell ! but i got right back on the 90PX train and got my self together completing Back and Legs and today KEMPO X.
By the way, love Back and Legs, and Kempo felt way easier this time ...

Phew Ok I have now made it officially 9 Whole days _ I excluded yoga day which would of made it 10.

It occurred to me this AM when doing KEMPO X - you know what, I deserve this ! I want to encourage anyone out there reading my blog, frustrated, overwhelmed - consider it an opportunity to take care of yourself and to give something back to yourself. NO DOUBT ~ YOU DESERVE IT !

P90X Bring it PLYOS

Today was plyometrics - hard core cardio !
I'm sitting here watching the start of the season of the Biggest Loser feeling so thankful that for today (and for the past 7) I have taken back control ! My body aches with the feeling of movement, and it's fantastic ! I'm still being very cautious, I can't do everything, I can't last every minute, every rep - but I am pushing myself as hard as I can - being more cognizant about what I eat more than ever !

Todays Meals
9:30 Protein drink
12:20 Banana and nutrigrain bar
3:20 Yogurt / Banana /Raspberry smoothie
> licked a spoon from cupcakes I was making
7:15 Lean burger, 1 pt bread with a slice of cheese and grilled onions - and a sweet potato with I can't believe it's not butter / brown sugar and cinnamon.

I'm watching these people struggling with their weight on the biggest looser, what strikes me is how much they are wanting like a person in need of a root canal that hates dentists - begging to please help them. I can relate to that, but their stories are amazing.

P90X YOGA - oui !

P90X Yoga, a full hour and a half of (at least for me) challenging yoga ! I struggled struggled struggled, but kept focused and completed from start to finish trying almost everything (there was one pose poised on the back of my neck, which didn't look like a good idea to me.  I can see how this would clearly elongate and develop ones flexibility. 
I think of  my biggest struggle in this was 3 things
1.  Unsure of how to do YOGA (needed to watch assess and execute
2.  Excess fat in my way
3.  Lack of balance

I feel as if I can address #1 and #2, #3 will come together. 

After I had a hearty breakfast 1/2 c yogurt, banana, raspberries, granola - ellie enjoyed it to. 
Till tomorrow I believe is Day 5 Legs &Back, Ab RipperX
I'm going to check to see if there is any special equipment needed.

But as Tony Horton says ... please see the video on why YOGA SUCKS ! lol
