P90X Day 71
Great start on week 11 here Tom is on fire ready and awaiting the PX90 famouser. This should be motivation for all of you get up and start the P90X!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My breakfast this morning was fruit bread, and a banana, coffee black. My A.M snack was a recovery drink. My morning was good I had a few cars come in today with some work so my morning went by nicely. Its great to be doing something like knowing that you can get the customer back on the road ASAP as long as we have the parts in stock, but thats not my Dept. so I can’t do anything more to help other than whe I get my parts to install them promptly and properly. No slacking no mishapps no shaniganes. I am 5 star Bring-it. Lunch was good but light today. A turkey burger for me on a whole wheat bread slices, salad leafs, spinach leafs on my burger to. I also had a yogart with a glass of water. Today my recovery drink got stirred into my coffee cup with my pen. I did not have a spoon to stir it up with so my lunch water tasted like recovery drink it actually had some flavor other than dealership water. My P.M. snack was a cheese string with almonds. Once again once afternoon kicked in to play there was nothing to do again, so the rest of the day went all to crap real fast. I drove home in the dark too, that was crap now that day light savings has come to visit us. This was the first day since last year that I had to drive home getting out of work and having it be dark. My dinner toight was pork chop, peas, mashed potato, glass of milk. After dinner I had 2 fig newtons with a glass of cranberry/rasberry juice. After dinner the kids and I played the family game Flipin Frogs. Its a great game to play we all say Fire at will commander then all you see is a bunch of different color frogs flying through the air in hops that your frog lands on the branch, and that when the timer goes off. The branchs flip up a bit so the player with the most frogs wins that round. Its fun you should all try it out excellent family game. Tonights workout went as follows All pullups tonight were black bands wide fronts 15/15 – reverse grip 15/15 – close grip over hand 15/15. Standard pushups 20/20 — military pushups/decline/diamond 15/15/15/15/15/15 — lawnmowers/heavypants 25 lbs 15/15/15/15 – backflys 25lbs 12/12 — divebombers 15/12 by the end i was cooked me arms are extra ripped and crispy!!!!!!! thanks folks hope you can understand my numbers I can. I know what I am doing. I’m doing great as far as I can see. Lets see what madame ruby sees. LOL she sees P90X busting out of her crystal ball. She also sees you getting up of the couch and snacking on beers and potato chips. Hope this info will help you get the best of the best (P90X)

Hello my breakfast this morning was oatmeal with apples, bananas, raisens with a glass of milk. My A.M snack was a recovery drink. My lunch was a turkey burger on a whole wheat bread with salad greens on the burger and i ate the rest of the salad greens i had packed in a zip lock so it doen’t go to waste. My P.M snack was almonds and a cheese stick. My work is still slow we have work to keep us busy during the morning rush then we dye right out it stinks no work means no money. Dinner tonight was a steak, mashed potatoes, and peas with a large glass of milk. My wife and I did homework with the kids after dinner. Both kids got a movie tonight at bed time cause they went to bed a few minutes earlier than usual. That way they don’t loose out on well needed sleep (school night) don’t wake up cranky. My workout tonight really worked my arms again even after a day off I think the other day for kempo I may have banged my joints a little bit during the punches. I’ll be ok though. I’m P90X ready . Tonight’s workout went extremely well, I did great. My angled pushups were good. The fly angle pushups were good for me to. In recent weeks my triceps are starting to form theres actually something there as of before I started you couldn’t reaaly see triceps in my arm. Abripper X was a finisher for me I was drained after tonights workout. My ab’s are feeling pooped after heels to heavens. The burn tingles you get from this means your Bringing-it!!! This is a good start for this week to have the change up in the workout. 3 weeks to go… P90X!!!
P90X Day 57
< Frost this morning > I had to go outside and scrap off my windshield and all windows due to heavy frost also needed to put the heater controls to max to help the process. Saftey First Everone. My breakfast was two pieces of Fruit bread a glass of milk, and a coffie black. My A.M snack was a recovery drink which came right in time after sitting around all morning waiting for jobs to sell, and just plain waitng for more / othwer work to come in. We have really slowed down, work is starting to fall in numbers of people wanted to get there cars fixed lately. My P.M snack was almonds, almonds leave my mouth real dry, I need a lot of water to get them all down. Dinner tonight was whole wheat noddles with spagetti sauce. After dinner I played my game W.O.W its halloween in the game and one of the daily quests is to take out the headless horsemen. It’s a great daily to run he drops purple armor, weapons, and flying mounts, your in a group of 5 so mostly its of a roll to see who wins it. I have do this now for the past couple of days. So now I have them all well atlest the ones I wanted to get. Phase 3 I made it to phase 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets party lol just kidding let me get through this next phase and I’ll be the ripped king like jason on ab ripper X On of tonys funny coments during ab ripper I’m sure you all rember that phrase. I though it was great me and my son always call eachother the ripped kings when we are working out he does join me once in a great while. Hes only 5 hes just having some fun>>> for phase three I am starting the week of with chest and back, since doing the P90X program most if not all my back pain is gone. Thats the truth my back is stronger than ever!!! I learned how to do all these great excercises from this program P90X. My chest feels solid, alot more firm than from before i started all of this. Abripper X as always brings what you have left for the night right to your mat I highly recommend you are using on for your ab excercies I do, I also use it for much more than that also even softer surface to work with. Why fight it when you can just bring it. I am glad I have made it this far and I will finish.!!!!!!! I am ready for this week I may even break out my black band for my door band starting on wednesday for shoulders and arms. I feel capable and able to do this Add just a touch more weight and see how it goes. Welcome to phase 3!!!!!!!!!!!!
P90X Day 50
Jen: Today has been a hard day. It was my second day of work/school. I am really learning a lot. I had 3 minor tests today just on my homework from over the weekend! It was a long day though. 8 hours in the classroom would tire anyone out. Your brain gets kinda fried. After work I came home and did all the house work we put off yesterday (since we went to the mining place). I had to get everything for the kids and the hubby and I to go off to school/work tomorrow, clean bathrroms, do laundry, make dinner, etc. The list goes on and on. On top of that I also have a HUGE section of homework to do tonight on infectous diseases JOY! So needless to say I was running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off by dinner time. The family was awesome at helping out though. I got to say they are phenominal at supporting my new career and such. LOVE YOU GUYS! After dinner I started feeling pretty crappy. My whole family has been passing around the nice little common cold of the month. My throat was feeling pretty sore and my head was swimming. A P90X work out was pretty much the last thing I wanted to do. It is really hard to work out right now with all the extra thigs I have added to my plate. I made it about 45 mins through the workout. Like I said, it’s been a rough day. I pumped out some pretty good numbers for my reps. I stayed on my knees throughout. Some things I modify so as not to re injure my rotator cuff. So if you see me doing a few different moves than what Tom is doing that is why. I would really like to work it up so that one day I can do at least 5 moves in a row without being on my knees during push ups. I wanted to come back for ab ripper. Didn’t want to short change myself, but by this point my energy was completely depleated. I gave it my best shot. Well gang, sorry if this is short. I am going to shower and go do my homework. Then I plan on going off to NyQuil land LALALALA!
Tom: Hi I was vey sleppy this morning, I even got to bed early last night but i am very tired today. My breakfast was a oatmeal bar with raisins and a glass of milk. My A.M snack was a P90X protein bar. I had a good morning at work, I even made my time this morning as far as hours go. My lunch was a shrimp stir fry, my wife made a real good lunch for me. Baby shrimps, wholewheat noddles, sundried tomatoes. It was a great lunch break for me I had a glass of water with my lunch no soda today for me WATER only I had a few beers and diet sodas this weekend so I want to drink plenty of water for the start out of my week. P.M. snack was a lowfat yogart cup with a toasted almond granola crunchy bar. My dinner tonight was hambuger helper with mixed vegatables, and a large glass of mlik. My workout tonight was good it could have been better. My arms were very loose from yestardays diamond trip throwing around sledge hammers, mining picks, chizzles ETC.. that was a workout of its own. I did all my excercises my goals for tonight was to do all 10 times at 25 lbs just to keep it clean and have good form. By the end of tonights workout again I had to do some of my pushups modified cause I just could not push myself back up. All these forms the workout has you doing its working out all throughtout your entire arms, so when the workout is almost over for the night. I feel very sore in my amrs. Abripper was good though i feel my ab section tonight working in a nice way. I did take a few breathers, once I gather myself back up I finish. Complete each excercise to its fullest!!!!! You will get used to wanting this, in time the soreness goes away and anyhow for me its only once in awhile now that I am P90Xer Yes I am feeling fantastic knowing that tonight I did something worth it. Not that every great once in awile its nice to sit on the couch and have a beer and some potato chips LOL (O__O). But in all seriousness you will like the results you get if you want this, (I do) See you all tommarrow.
P90X Day 29
Holy Smokes this workout tonight was another bruttle 1. My moring breakfast was oatmeal with a glass of milk ,and some raisins. For my snack I had a Recovery drink, and for lunch I had a turkey sub with trimings. My day at work was horrible I worked on the same problem vehicle for just about the whole day. Didn’t make many hours today thats for sure :<(, my afternoon snack was low fat cheese and crackers. I came home after work and mowed the yard. For dinner tonight was turkey helper with green beans, I had a beer with dinner I needed it after today getting out of work. My workout tonight was a tuff one for me. I used my 25 lbs dumb bells on some excercises. I did use the bands for 1 of my excercises, but felt I was not doing them properly so I switched to the 25lbs ones. I also used my 10 lbs bells for a few of the harder ones. In the program only grab what you can do and feel comfortable doing apply yourself to BRING -IT. All of my 25lbs were an even 8 -10 a piece didnt want to go overboard with those 25lbs is alot for me anyways. The one handed pushups for get it I had to go to my knees when those came up I had already been working hard and my arms were already sore during the first 15 minutes of the workout. I do like the slow motion pushups though they are great for practicing your breathing. All in all this workout was very energy boosting for me week 4 didnt seem to be this hard looks like this weeks going to pick it up a notch or 2. Abripper was indeed needed for me also week 4 there was no ab ripper for me so getting back into it tonight was good. I did very well tonight I did Bring-it and my arms are felling it. Good night…
P90X Day 15
Hey folks starting off day 15 for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woke up this A.M and had a Mushroom, tomato, cheese (lowfat) scrambler and a glass of skim milk. I was rushing around this morning. I usually make some of my snacks and meals for the next day that night, that way I’m not fighting the clock at home and not speeding to try and get to work on time. A 5 star mechanic is always on time 7:59 sharp for me !!!!!!!!! is better than 8′ oclock . My day was super. I put in 10 hr’s before lunch break even hit. Also, mid way through I chilled in my bay and had my Recovery Drink !!!!!!! Lunch time I had a chef salad with 2 spoon fulls of fat-free thousand island dressing. Wife came in just after that. The power streeing line let go in the van in her daily travel’s. WTF if it isn’t 1 thing it’s the other ((OO__OO)) Figures. LOL! O well that’s how the cookie crumbles and that’s the bottom line. She’s a 99 with 77,000 what more do you want from her. Other than minor repairs its been a good family vehicle. Around 3ish was my snack 30 pieces of pistachio nuts, even though I like the tatse of the shell. Sometimes unless you have a toothpick handly I don’t recommend you chew on them for to long for maxium flavor. They will get stuck in your teeth. I Stayed late today to finish that up cause it was now my ride home. Only took about 25 minutes or so + fluid top off . You don’t want to run your power steering dry. It will make all sort of noises and possibly ruin the pump. Onto dinner___ came home to a great meal. Chicken, wild rice, and asperagus. It ruled the roost! Also a glass of milk to wash it all down. After all the dishes were done my wife and I read books to the kids. Only for about 20 minutes or so cause it’s a school night and I still need to Bring-IT. Chest and Back was great way to start off the night, I have been writing all my reps down for these past weeks now and on more than 10 excercises I have completed 3 to 5 more reps each. I can feel the burn now everyone. I’m trying to get maxium performance out of my work out. Everytime I thought I was done I would take a breather and knock out 3 to 5 more. Just remember it’s alot easier when you are breathing to do all of these push ups and pullups. This PX90 program is all about breathing and giving it your all. Ab ripper ripped up my ab’s tonight. I could feel the burn in my lower regoin’s of my body, mostly in the legs during bicycles. Finished up another day taking 1 more notch out of my 90 day’s. Keep following me all of you. Thanks so much for all my followers. Have a great night all. See you tomorrow for plyometrics.
P90X Day 1
Woke up and got breakfast this morning. It was huge! Didn’t realize it was gonna be that big. I ate most of it. As I was going to work I ate the rest of my breakfast which was a cup of strawberries. Had a fairly slow morning at work today. Had my protein bar at 10:30. Had my chef salad for lunch and then my cashews for my afternoon snack. Finished out my day waiting for a set of brakes that they kept telling me were in the building. 4 hours later after the runners went to the other dealerships twice I finally got my brakes. Picked up my dog from the groomers on the way home. Got home and ate dinner. It was pork chops, asperagus, and brown rice. Did you know asperagus makes your pee stink to the point of almost gagging?
Waited a little over an hour and then got things set up for P90X. Beginning seemed to be okay as I paced myself. Doing between 10-15 reps a piece doing the cleanest form I could get. But a little over half way when the program switches up and does everything in reverse that’s when I started to feel the burn. I had to do my push ups modified. Dranks lots of water during the workout, actually had to fill up the bottle a few times. Completed chest and back and then did ab ripper x. I had a bit of a hard time with heels to the heavens. Just couldn’t seem to lift off the ground without having to use my hands for assistance because it was hurting. But I did all the other ones as strong and as clean as I could. I definately had to use the breaks they tell ya to take. Finished it off and drank a recovery drink……I highly reccommend it!!! So that’s it for day 1 and all in all I noticed when I took my shower that my arms were having a hard time just scrubbing my hair cause they were still burning. Now I’m relaxing and going to bed. Later on.
