P90X Day 83
Hello and good morning to you. This morning I slept in till 8 that was nice. I did not go to bed till 3 in the morning due to playing world of warcraft all night. My breakfast today was 2 whole wheat waffles plain 5 strawberries cut up into small pieces spread over my waffles. I had a glass of apple juice and a coffee black. After breakfast my wife started wraping up presents while I drank my coffee. We just hung out and talked while see wraped presents. Now that there all wraped up time to make some room in the closet to store all of them till christmas, we are mostly done already with buying gifts, it was a good thing we did too rather be done now. Then have to go out last minute and deal with all the rushing around. My wife left to go to big lots to just check on a few things there since she hasn’t been there in awile (you all know how much girls like to shop) My A.M. snack was a P90X protein bar, I almost forgot my snack but I wolfed one down before I started yoga. Now I have the house to myself for yoga X. My kids are playing at the neighbors house so I had a very peaceful yoga exp today, I cleared up all the crap in my head today and went for it. My wrist during the chaterages only needed a small shake out today. I felt alot better than my prevois yogas were I lost form due to my wrist acting up. Today on the other hand I was doing all pushups back from downward dog. A coulpe of times boosting right up almost like a spring. My balance postures were much better today also. I held up good straight postures with clean form, when on a few moves if I came out of it, I corrected my form and went right back into the form without losing posture. I tell you what yoga has helped me along my journey, with flexibility, endurance, posture, and my back problem that only once in a great while comes back, then is gone. My crane today was held very nicely I did infact come out of it for about 8 secondes but gathered up and brought it back for the remander of thre time. Table and chair form I reached as much as I could to gain straightness with my form. I did my wheel I raised right up for a few then came out of that cause my form started to drift. During bridge I did much better with my hands behind my back rather than try to do a move that wasn’t going to work for me. I also put up my leg during bridge and fought for my leg to be straight. My flexibility is really improving for me. During corpse pose when I relax I release it all and colapse, clear mind and just about doze off. When I came out of that during my voice hummmmmmmmmmmmmmsssssssssssssssssss. As soon as I was done with those I opened up my eyes and felt great. I did my yoga for the week, I also have the rest of the day to enjoy. Have a good day
P90X Day 59
Hello my breakfast this morning was 2 whole wheat waffles and tea no coffee for me this morning I ran out of filters. My A.M. snack was a recovery drink. My lunch was a whole wheat wrap with chicken , lettuce, and spinach with a glass of water. My P.M. snack was a P90X protein bar. My day at work was slow again didn’t do much today other than a few hours worth of work, which is hardly worth the time I out in. Its slow season now so we ar struggling to make hours. My dinner tonight was mashed potatoes, green beans, and chicken breast with water. After dinner my family and I played the DVD game Disneys Scene its that was a cool game of course the kids both won the game. I did do good though I answered a few of my questions correctly and I won a few pick the charaters of the movies. All and all its a great way to have family night and to have some quality time with the family. My P90X workout tonight went well I used the 25lbs dumbells for my excercises. 8-10 reps each a few of them like the reverse ones I used the 10lbs dumbells to keep my clean form. The 25 lbs are to much weight to keep a clean form even when you are doing 8-10 a pop. I feel it in this workout after about 30 minutes or so were my arms start getting tired but I continue with clean form from the start to finish. My upright rows are great I’m getting my elbows way up and holding at the top so I can get as much out of it as I can. My static arm curls are good after 16 times of holding the one side weight at your side then pumping up on the other I keep my arm as firm as I can so my weight doesn’t sink down Keep the from everyone you will feel it. Ab ripper X was good I did 100 extra situps last night after the workout was done. My ab’s are nice and toasty after that. I feel great in my ab section. I can really feel the burn after this. I’m heading out see you all be well till then….
P90X Day 47
Tom: Hello its friday once again!!! My breakfast was 2 whole wheat waffles, a glass of milk, and a coffie. My A.M. snack was a P90X protein bar. For lunch I had a pulled pork snadwich and a diet coke. Not on the guide, but its friday remember. My day at work was good I did a few more PDI’s and a few jobs just enough to keep busy. Other than that I’m glad to be out of there and home to my family. Tonight for dinner I had 2 slices of pizza and a salad with a glass of milk. My workout tonight was good I felt loose from last nights yoga. Really feel good today as far as my body goes. My neck is feeling wonderful I practice rolling my neck from time to time just to get in a relaxing stretch. Tonight it was all about me using my blue bands to the max. Since my food choices today were a little wackee I felt i need to pick it up a notch. I was doing 16 close grips a pop. My chair lunge was all in good form tonight I really kept my knee from going over my foot. Although my legs are getting to the point were I’m loosing the feeling of being sore as the end of the week rolls out. Tip toe lunges are improving also the strenght in your feet and legs that it takes to do these and keep a strong form is just getting better for me. Its Firday night and I have some Saranac Octoberfest waiting for me so have a great night.
Jen: Today was my first day of work. It was great, but a total info cram!!! Lots to remember!!! I even got assigned homework for the weekend. I have to do 5 chapters by Monday. You know what though, I am totally thrilled about it. Isn’t it strange how when we are children most of us depise doing homework and now as adults we jump at the chance to learn something new. So today was a busy day to say the least. I got home at about 3:30 and grabbed the kids form the neighbor’s. We came home and did the usual “straighten up the house grind” and preped for dinner. Wasn’t too bad stress wise. We ate dinner and chilled as a family until the kids went to bed. Then popped in the good ol P90X. Time for legs/back/ab ripper x. I am thinking about switching up to heavy bands for all my back exercises. I am still holding strong at my free weight levels, but I noticed my back work is starting to get too easy. My legs are really starting to show some definition after these few weeks. I am able to do as much if not more reps on the max reps stuff. Those sneaky lunges (the ones you do on your tippy toes) still crack me up! Sorry for the short blog tonight, but I have massive amounts of homework to do! So I will catch you all tomorrow!!!
