Arrrrrgh! Now that is some burn. Tonight, as this is the last time we push CS&T's out, we upped the weight and did our best to up the reps. Christina is coming down with a nasty chest cold, but she pushed through it and survived....what a trooper! That workout is pain from the start....what a psycho to go with slow-mo push ups from the start....crazy burn.
Kenewayne....15 Airbornes! 15! They hurt, but I did it. Last I checked I usually only clap for something good.....why am I clapping while I'm throwing my heavy body into the air only to do it 14 more times?
Anyway...Abs hurt, hurt, hurt tonight....I guess after 4 1/2 hours of driving today I wasn't as ready as I thought I was to push it the whole way...With that, we returned from Oklahoma today and after no one seeing us since Christmas the looks we got....well made us feel good. I got Christina to show her brother her guns and the look on his face was priceless!
Well...home stretch....I will admit, I'm ready for a short break. I did order the Fast Formula last night, so thanks to Demi for her write up on it. Christina and I will take the 2 days to also make it an official fast and get just a bit closer to God. He is the only one that can make me survive 2 days without eating!
P90X - Day 78 - Chest Shoulders & Tri's + AbRipX
P90X - Day 77 - Rest or Stretch
Well we have been resting all day today, and who knows...by nights end I might have to press play on the ole StretchX DVD....my legs are needing it. We took some time and walked around the mall for a few hours...that might help. But I sure like that stretch.
Anyway...driving home tomorrow and gonna hit the CST&Abs! Oh yes!
P90X - Day 76 - KenpoX
Ouch! OK...after legs and back my left hammy and butt cheek are killing me. Now that did not help. We headed over to Christina's dad's after Legs & Back on Wed and had to do KenpoX via Laptop....just like hoteling it. We pushed it hard, sweated our rears off and luckily had enough privacy to last the 1 hour session. But....those kicks really hurt. Oh well, I'll live. And don't worry...this aint stopping me from pressing on. Just glad we have a rest day to recover and then on to the money week!
I tell you what...(okie term)...trying to eat healthy in small town Oklahoma is hard. Those folks like their comfort food. We took our protein powder, skim milk and fruit with us so we could at least make some protein shakes in the mornings. But for dinner on Thursday we had to kind of offend and went out to eat to eat a bit of a healthy dinner. But we survived!!!
I can't believe the last week of the stuff is upon us...then 1 more recovery week and we're on to maintenance or "+" mode!!! Argh!
P90X - Day 75 - Legs & Back and ABRX
OK...that's going to be felt later! After pushing hard on Plyo last night, right when we started Legs & Back, I started thinking..."this is gonna hurt." And it did. Wow. And of course, trying not to turn on the air conditioner in March, our room heats up pretty quick....but I love the sweat and I love the burn. Something got into me today though....I somehow started busting out Chin up/Pull ups one after another....hmmmm. Really great workout today. We did try something new on the "Groucho Walk"....after BB messed up one of my T-Shirt orders, they sent me a copy "One on One with Tony Horton....It is his Plyo/Legs DVD....on that, he modifies the "Groucho Walk" into what looks more like a Sumo Walk....(you know when Sumo wrestlers get into the ring and lift their legs side to side....with that he throws in a squat with a floor touch in between.....wow, you really feel it in your hips and butt.
Anyway...abs were abs....same thing. I felt like I had done that before... :-D
Well its Spring Break, so we'll be doing Kenpo tomorrow at the folks...not sure if I'll get a post in or not, but I'll sure try.
P90X - Day 74 - PlyometriX
Wow...today was a sweat fest....big time! Tonight Christina and I pushed it hard....it didn't help that it was 77 degrees in our bedroom...craaaaap. My knee is really hurting now...I guess I went deeper than ever. My heart rate was banging the top and there was a point about 3/4 the way through that Christina and I looked at each other with the "oh my I'm feeling it" look...
This week is spring break for most of Texas, so we are taking a break from LifeGroup....I forgot all about it and was totally prepared to bring a lesson. But...it'll have to wait. And it'll have to wait another 2 weeks as next week there is a large corporate prayer at church which will include many other churches in the region as we are in need of rain....big time!
Well its time for supper! I'm hungry. Grilled chicken and veggies tonight!
out.
P90X - Day 73 - Shoulders & Arms & Abs oh my
Now that'll motivate you. That workout is so awesome. It gets the muscles and veins bulging from the start...who wouldn't like that? Today we hit this baby hard and pushed the arms & shoulders to full tilt. Then we hit good ole abs...and today I'm feeling it. Please forgive me if you find any typos that I didn't...my forearms are jelly. Sweet!
Thanks everyone for the kind comments. You all are really appreciated. I'm so glad that we were all drawn together for motivation during our common goals. And so great to find fellow Christians out there!
As we strive to be more and more Christ like, it is only natural that we all keep each other going in such a positive way.
God Bless.
P90X - Day 72 - CardioX
Well as today is the Sabbath, we are (I am) getting real used to Sabbath Naps in the afternoon....so again we played a litte flip flop today.....What was supposed to be Plyo today turned again into a 9PM session of CardioX....but you know, I'm not griping...CardioX is really a sweat factory and it is good.
I do appreciate all of the great comments...as P90X has been a real positive life change, it is something that many, many people need to pick up on. As all will agree, it is no cake walk diet and exercise plan, but it works and works well. I ran into 2 more people at church today who have ordered it....amazing.
Thats it for now.
God Bless!
