Weak 3, now Week 4

Yah, week 3 wasn't all that good. I was sick last week and only did 2 or 3 workouts, plus I was out of town for the weekend Probably should have "manned-up" and got some more done, but I'm only looking forward now. This week is the "rest" week, so did some Core Synergistics and Kempo X Karate thus far. Those two keep ya' moving but not nrealy as taxing as what goes on in the other weeks. Hopefully this will loosen me up and get me ready to hit Phase 2 really hard.

No real noticeable results so far, I think my arms might be a little more toned but nothing else really sticks out. I've heard you don't really start seeing results until the end of Phase 2. That's okay, I'm sticking with it.


I wish fish and salad tasted as good as "real" food. That stuff bums me out, and cheeseburgers inevitably follow, haha.

Week 3

I did okay last week, better than the first week. I still haven't done the Yoga or Kempo X, but I did the other 3. On top of that, I played a soccer game last Monday, so I got some good work done 4 days of the week. I'm hoping to get at least 5 good days in this week, starting tonight.

I need to do better on eating as well. I do good most days of the week, but the weekend was tough - especially when eating out.

Quote of the week: They're working hard, I know you are!

Week 2

Just an update on the P90X progress...

There hasn't been much to speak of. Last week I was out of town for work and I didn't get to do as many sessions as I would have liked. I did the first three sessions and couldn't find time to fit in the rest. I picked back up Sunday, and after a rest day on Monday (soccer game, if that is considered rest) and did another round of Plyometrix today. Plyo is my favorite so far, it is an absolutely intense leg/cardio workout, but I was able to keep up with the guys in the video for the most part...at least more than in the Chest and Back session.

Hopefully I can continue on finish all the sessions this week, I do think I can tell a difference in my overall energy levels after doing a few of the sessions in a row. I get tired at night (hooray) but during the day, feel much more envigorated - hopefully this will continue to happen as I get more involved in training.



**Side note** Tony is hilarious. The guy says some crazy stuff during the vid, and sometimes you don't have time to think about it till later, and you realize, that dude is nuts. I'll leave you with an inspirational poster...

P90X - The Revolution Begins

Well, here it goes - P90X begins. This guy (below) will be my biggest motivator for the next 90 days, and I'm pretty sure I'll come to have a very solid love/hate relationship with him.





I'm going to try and keep track of my progress on here and post pictures after each week, or at least each of the three phases.

Currently, I weigh about 180 and not sure what my body fat % is, but as long as I get visible results, the numbers don't matter that much to me.

Here is what I'm starting with:
