p90x update

So we have completed what we are calling our first full week (since we started over). and oh my goodness I am sore! I feel like I can do more this week to get even more out of the work out so I will be doing that this week.

I have decided that I want to do some sort of update each week. I feel like it will help keep me more accountable for both working out when I am supposed to and for eating healthy. Unfortunately, when I weighed in this week I gained a little weight :( I was so upset! only on 1 day did I go over calories and the rest I ate well under so it should have been okay. I am hoping that some of it is muscle gain? that and I know I have a bit more water weight right now, so I am blaming all of that! and hoping that next week when I weigh it will reflect that? We will see. Either way it was frustrating.

So I have decided to ensure I lose weight from now on, I am going to do a few things:
1) go extra hard during p90x like I talked about earlier
2) cut out sodas (unless it's a really special occasion)
3) no more fried foods (even the very small amount I eat right now)
4) cut WAY down on sweets

I also plan on posting each week how I have done with p90x. For example:
-Sunday is chest and back- I did the whole work out (improvising with pull ups- we used our weights instead. not perfect, but at least it's something)
-Monday is plyometrics- I only got through 40 minutes of 60 minute work out because I couldnt feel my legs anymore
-Tuesday- Shoulders and Arms- completed all of this! and it was pretty easy, so I need to up the weight I am lifting in more exercises.
-Wednesday- Yoga. I HATE YOGA. I only did 20 minutes of this. I am going to substitute CardioX from now on.
-Thursday- Legs and Back- I made myself work out even though it was SO late and I completed it all.
-Friday- I got my eyes dilated and it made me sick, so I didnt do anything (more about the eyes later). I made this my rest day instead of Saturday this week.
-Saturday- Kenpo X (supposed to be Friday) finished it all like a rock star! :D

On each of the days we lift weights, we are supposed to do ab ripper x too- I am going to do my best to do that this week with each of them, i didnt this past week.

So this is my first update, hopefully next week I will have lost weight and be even more sore! :D

  1. I HATE the yogaX too!!! It's stupid and requires more upper body strength than flexibility... and it eats up 90 minutes of your TIME!! booo... it's the worst haha. KenpoX is my favorite. :-D

    Keep up the good work! I know you're a champ for sticking to it! Also, I'm looking forward to hearing about your eyeball update.

    LOVE YOU!
