P90X Day 85
As you all know this is my final week Recovery week!!!!!!!!! I have come, I have and I will conquer.!!!!! My breakfast this morning was raisin bran clusters Lightly sweetened wheet & bran flakes with plump raisins and clusters!!! I also had my coffee black and a glass orange juice. I had a few cars this morning Oil changes and tires mostly. Lots of customers have been coming in for oil /lube jobs and tires as of this past coming weeks. My A.M. snack was a recovery drink. My lunch today was a lean cuisen steak, pepper, tomato, cheese on the bread that it comes with. I had some grapes and a glass of water to go with all of that. This afternoon I undercoated and rustproofed a vehicle with a state inspection, this afternoon we slowed right down again so that sucked cause for about the last 2 hours of work there was nothing to do once again. Tonight for dinner I had mac and cheese with ham and brocilli and a glass of milk. After dinner my wife and I started calling all of our friends and people who are close to us and family to all get together for my wife’s and my birthday double party. Thats right my birthday is tuesday and my wifes on sunday of this week. So we are having our once a year double birthday bash. Last years party we had a quad party. It was me my wife and 2 more of our friends for a total annilation birthday blow out the walls party and forget about the rest. If you are not here to party then step aside. Well with all that being said tonight was Yoga X night. I remained focused during my warriors really putting my arms at a real nice distanct from me allowing my body to strecth out to the full max. I have also made my arms no longer flair out at all during chateranges up into cobra, I do get my knees up off the ground aswell… Might aswell right bring it. I would however like for my legs to be a lot more flexible but during a few of my excercises tonight I just can’t seem to really // really get my legs to go straight. On the other hand, I do fight it little by little to try and get that extra distance. The yoga block also helps me during the moves due to my legs not being able to flex my hand all the way to the ground , so the yoga block is my friend during my yoga. It also feels real nice on your hand rather than the ground, you do get that extra comfort in it also. When you are doing yoga the whole point is to be comfortable so these yoga blocks sure do make a diference. They are well worth it!!! Yoga has helped me along my way with controlling my body and motions with flexibility. I know i said it back awhile ago about yoga being so long but now I can get the hang off it and, I don’t mind working my yoga P90X skills cause it has helped me master this course. The P90X Challenge!!!!!
Happy Birthday fellow Scorpios. Mine was last Wed. Congrats on being on your final week! Have a great bday and thanks for sharing your journey with all of us.
Thanks Michelle!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday and COngrats on making it to the final recovery week. I just did my last Chest and back last night!! Day 72 Today! I can finally see the end of the tunnel. I am doing doubles so I have 6 more morning Cardio X’s(which I do at 4am) before recovery week. I know once I get to the last week I will be good! Here’s a good Joe Dimaggio qoute that I like: I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up thats the best they’re going to feel all day”
Have a blast buddy! Jeff, Mike and I will be starting P90X + soon after we finish this round being as they are 2 days ahead of me!
Hey Tom,
I just started P90X 3 days a go (17 NOV 08) and have been reading your blog as I go along. For example, today I read your feedback for your day 4 to get an idea of what to expect and also read the feedback from everyone else writting in your blog. I see your results and they are a true inspiration. I also noticed you are almost done.. now, would you PLEASE leave everything posted? works like a diary for motivation. I’m in the military and I’m used to workout 3-4 times a week.. but this thing is kicking my butt! I’m sored like I never been – not even in Basic Training; but it is a relief reading that what I’m going through is normal ’cause everyone else is getting its butt kicked as well!! that keeps my friends and I positive and pumped to keep BRINGING IT!! If possible, do not take down you valuable reviews and feedback from everyone else.
Thanks for doing this bro,
Ken
