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 79
My breakfast this morning was 2 whole wheat waffles, banana, and a glass of milk, coffee black. My A.M. snack was a recovery drink. My morning went well again just working on a few cars diagnosing a few as well. I had a brand new 2008 caravan come in today with the check engine light on for ambient temp sensor performance. After carefully reviewing the follow chart I went right to the sensor disconnected it from the connector and rust water came out of it. Corrosion all over sensoe and connector thats what we call cheese. Its corrision through but we call it cheese. So no repairing that today cause i needed to order parts for it. My lunch was a salad, spinach, carrots, tomato, pasta noddles, all mixed in together, and a glass of water. My P.M snack was whole grain tortialls chips, and a apple. This afternoon I got to drive a viper!!!! Thats right a Dodge Viper the sticker price on it was 101,000 and change HOLY !@#$ thats a ton of $$$$$ I only had to give it Pre delivery inspection but it was cool to be able to get behind the wheel of a viper and just check it over it was a highlite in todays work place!!!! for me anyhow. My dinner tonight was red beans and wild rice, kielbasa and a glass of milk I added some hot suace to it to pick it up a notch. My family and I after that played the Wii we all played bowling we all got real good scores!!!!!! even the kids did great, I myslef bowled over a 210!!!! YES. Plyometrics was great I was jumping leaping and flying around tonight I really gave it all I could during my first set of jump knee tucks I got a cramp in my passenger side rib cage area but soon enough it went away, after that I got right back into it. I was jumping and tire hoping around my living room. Tonight my wife joined in a a wile also. Its really nice to have her support also we had the support of my comp out in thekitchen, we listened to music tonight to keep the pace nice and heavy just like the music I was cranking out with my rock stars. All in all I did a fantastic job tonight in squats, leaps, jumps, spin/turns, catch it shoot it, pitching Ive got a real nice pitch lok out for my curve ball. Plyometrics is great and the cool down once you have reached the fininsh line the cool down is even fun to do I think and it helps your body out, so be sure to follow through on all your cool downs your body needs it so you can do more the next day!!! Thanks all see you

Good day my breakfast this morning was a blueberry muffin and a black coffee. My A.M snack was a recovery drink. My day at work was great. I took 2 on line test courses. I passed the 1st test it was on hybird vehicles only got 1 question wrong, passing grade YES!!!!! The second test was on water leaks, wind noises, and body electrical. Got an 85 % on that one, still a passing grade!!!! YES!!!! So today I completed 2 more online training test courses to futher myself in automotive studies. My lunch today was a turkey burger on my forman grill at work cooked to perfection right on my tool box in my bay!!! I added spinach leafs and salad greens to my turkey burger that was wraped up in 2 slices of whole wheat toast!!! This afternoon at work I installed new power steering lines on a chrysler 300. what a mess you need to lift of the power steering rack of the frame to gain access to the lines were they go onto it from the rear toward the firewall of the vehicle. Well I’m almost done with that job i will finish in the morning and move on to the next. Perhaps if I have more spare time this week I will take another test later in the week. My P.M. snack was almonds, peanuts, and a cheese stick. My dinner tonight was Pork chop, mixed vegatables, mashed potatoes and a glass of milk. My wife and I played WOW for an hour tonight we are currently trying to get her to level 66. This game is very timely so pace yourself and get ready for the ride. No just kidding its just all around fun fun fun. Then my family and I all watched how its made , some pretty nifteee things happen on that show. My workout tonight was excellent my in and out shoulder flys were 10 lbs dumbbells, chair dips 16 total, plange pushups 12, pike press 15, side tri rise 10+10, Y press 25lbs 10, pour flys 10lbs 8 those are just a few examples of my excercises that I write down, remeber to write down all your numbers and ckeck in your history for weight change and rep change to check for any improvements. PLYOMETRIC PUSH UP for me tonight I made the change and jumped on all 4 limbs this time while doing push ups don’t worry you will see it on my new video when it comes out. My fly row press I made the change i started out with 25 lbs but then shorlty after switched to 10 lbs, late in the workout my arms got a bit shakeee so rather than loose form I just altered the weight. Abripper X was nice also I di a few extra masion twists again tonight I am doing very well on all the excercises for abripper X. I still have a hard time getting my legs straight though but I do my best. P90X is great thanks everyone!!!!!
P90X Day 73
Hello my breakfast this morning was a slice of whole wheat toast with cream cheese a glass of milk and a P90X protein bar. I forgot my coffee this morning so I went without my coffee today I just grabed a coffe black decaf at work. My A.M. snack was a recovery drink. My day at work is going good I did a few new car check overs, so used car check overs, and a few oil changes. My lunch today was chicken and rice with mixed vegatables, and a glass of water. My afternoon snack was an apple and a 100 calorie pack popcorn. The rest of my day went by good, cause I was working till the very end today, lots to do so that was great. Tonight my dinner was a repeat I had again chicken with seasoning wild grain rice and spinach, I had 2 glasses of milk for dinner tonight. My workout tonight was good, my body was feeling great and ready to work, usually I wait a little over an hour before I start my workout, or I just wait till my kids go to bed which is around 8′oclock. Thats a fantastic time for them to go to bed cause on school night’s we don’t want anyone waking up cranky, cause thats no good. My family and I all wake up at the same time and get ready for the day so when it’s time to roll we are rolling on all 8 cylinders, ready to rock and roll. My workout tonight went well I really did a nice job on my reps and forms. I like how the P90X program switches up cause just 2 days ago when i did chest and back, that night and a bit into the next day you feel it in your upper body. So its nice to change things up during the week so come your next workout you are ready for it. You can also give it your all and be prepared for the exercises and be ready for them at full swing. Tonight me and my wife are going to chill and watch some T.V see you all !!!! be well…
P90X Day 69
Hello my breakfast yestarday was a coffee black a glass of milk and 2 slices of whole wheat toast with wieght watchers reduced fat cream cheese what a combo. My A.M snack was a racovery drink. My lunch today was a strip steak salad with spinach salad greens tomato, fat free honey mustard dressing. Also a large glass of milk. After lunch My family and I went down to my cousins house so I could work on her car. She needed some brake work done today so we all went over to hang out and fix the car. My P.M. snack was a samuel adams and some candy bars, sorry but I endulged on some of my cousins kids candy bags they got a ton of candy so they don’t mind sharing alittle. After the car was done we all ordered out pizza and salad. For dinner I had 2 slices of pepperoni pizza, salad, dressing itialian, and a glass of diet pepsi. After dinner we went home. I started my workout then to get it done before I get tired. Legs and back was good since the change of going from blue band to black band I’m feeling much more resistance when i go for the hold when the band is in affect. Using the upgraded weight is really helping me build my muscle and go for the win!!! All sets of my chin ups were clean as can be I really pull down and hold these now. My form is much better and has improved over these past few months. Now that I have the hang of it, i can do them on my pace and get them done rite. The pull ups are the same Im reaching with my bands to get the most out of them and then hold. During your hold stay focused don’t let your arms go hold that form for as long as you can beforeyou go back up to start the next one. I feel it I know you will. Abripper X went great I was in the zone for abripperx tonight I went to town on my sets taking the app break that I needed then jumping back in when ready. Tonight I did 30 extra masion twists, I had to put my feet down for a few seconds during the regular set. So when is was all done I ripped through another 30. Later guys time to run a herioc dungeon on my game WOW should be alot ofpeople on toinght. Should be pretty easy to form a group on a weekend, more people have time to play. little did they know before I sit down and play for hours, before I go to bed I did my workout now its time to play mahwaaaaaa!!!!!!
P90X Day 67
My breakfast this morning was Granola with a glass of milk. My A.M. snack was a recovery drink, I have been doing all my A.M snack’s Recovery drinks as posted in the nutrition guide!!!!! My lunch was mixed vegatables, sweet potato, chicken, a glass of water. My P.M. snack was P90X protein bar. The past couple of days are going a little bit, we are getting work for the morning parts but still dropping right down in the afternoon’s It sucks no work no pay atleast in the flat rate world. My dinner tonight was a lean cusein chicken wrap with apple juice. Tonight before my workout my family and I watched a Nightmare before christmas,the kids fell asleep, my wife and I finshed it up then I started up my P90X. All my black band excercises were all 12 times each if not more, I;m pushing myself to the maximum. 25lbs dumbbells on lawnmowers, twenty-ones, 1 arm across body curls, elbow out lawnmowers, standard bicep curls. My one arm concentration curls are still a bit loose, I fell my arm get real sloppy for this excersises I barely even got in 8 of these tonight. All my others tonight went very well namely the curling and my band pullups. I max’d with the black band during max pullups completing 20 tonight. My superman is getting much better if you follow the workout and watch how they are doing this its actually atleast for me a great wonderful stretch. To finish it of my strip set curls I did 25lbs/ then 10lbs 25lbs/ then10lbs for my final excercise. By this time as noted before by me when you get to this your arms are smoked as much as you can feel now. It will mean great results later so dont worry about the burn it will pass as long as your form is good and your not jerking your body, thats just setting yourself for a No No. Abripper was tough I took off the night before and that should have been ab ripper night, so I pushed it back a night by taking off the night before. AFter a few moments my body got warm and Iblew out the rest of em. I am pleased to say going with the heavier bands were a fantastic choice I am doing less reps than the past phase’s but my weight is more, I also try to push to use my 25lbs dumbells but later on in the last few minutes but during the strip sets 25 just to much to blow out 25 25 25 25lbs so by then I choose 10 lbs a much safer and smarter choice for me.
