Day 17

I was really fighting my laziness hard today. I even thought about doing Shoulders & Arms tomorrow with Yoga X. Boy would that have been a long work out!! 60 min of Shoulders & Arms, 16 min of Ab Ripper X and 90 min of Yoga X in one day? No thanks!! I'm glad I fought and won over my laziness. It wasn't so bad after I was done. I can definitely feel myself getting stronger! Even with Ab Ripper X, I'm more able to follow along. Next step would be to fix the forms, but I'm going to work on doing all the required reps first. That's the cool thing about this program, there's always room for improvement!

I forgot to report on my weigh in. I am down to 126 lbs this week. That's a 2 lb weight loss since I started this program. Of course I wish I dropped more weight, but at least I know this is real weight loss and not water weight. I am pretty sure I've gained some muscles, which in the long run will help burn my fat. I'm feeling pretty good at Day 17. Workouts are still intense, as they should be. The soreness isn't as bad as week 1, but I'm still getting real good workout.

Day 16

Today was Cardio X day but I decided to skip the video to run 5.5 miles on the treadmill. Just another excuse to use my Nike+. I haven't ran long distance in a while so I was a lot slower than before. It was a great and workout and I was really tired! I know it was more intense than Cardio X so I don't feel bad for skipping Cardio X.

Day 15

It's the beginning of week three. I can't believe I made it this far! With the rest day yesterday, one would think that I would be well rested and ready to workout again. However that was not the case. Started to feel lazy again. I don't plan on taking anymore rest days if I can help it. I didn't get home until 4:30am and had to get up early for work the next day. That could be why my energy is low. I really want to go out for another run tomorrow, either before or after cardio x. Feels nice after doing Core Synergistics today. I still can't keep up 100% but I do feel stronger and sweat a lot! Better get to bed "earlier" tonight so I won't be so tired tomorrow.

I forgot to weight in today, so I'll be sure to do that tomorrow morning.

Day 14

Due to being out of town, I decided to take the rest day instead of doing X Stretch. I missed my workout but it is also nice to rest. All soreness are gone by now.

Day 13

I decided to forgo Kenpo today and do a 3 mile jog outside. I got the new Nike+ and was itching to try it out. Because of time constraint, I wasn't able to do both Kenpo and running. On a normal weekend, it's easily doable. I was sluggish during the jog but that's probably due to the fact that I haven't eaten anything before the jog.

Day 11 & 12

Did legs and back today. That's too bad that I still can't even do one pull up. My goal by the end of P90x is to do at least 2 pull ups. Doesn't sound like a lot but I've never been able to do any my whole life! The soreness is gone now. I'm still getting intense workouts and sweating a lot, but the next day soreness doesn't come anymore. Maybe I have adjusted...

I forgot to blog about Day 11 Yoga X. Well, yoga is still very tough but I'm slowly getting use to it. it's tough because it's 90 minutes and it effects me mentally. I'm already dreading week 4 when it's Yoga X twice a week.

Day 10

Today, I completed Arms & Shoulders and Ab Ripper X. I'm starting to get use to the workouts. I'm still not able to keep up with them all the time, but more so than last week. I can also say that the soreness are gone now. I know I'm still getting a good workout, so maybe it's my body adjusting to the workouts. I think I need to get a few more dumbbells. A pair of 5 lbs and 10 lbs to compliment the 8 lbs that I have. Either that, or get 2 more bands. 8 is a good weight for me, but there are some exercises where I feel it's too heavy, mostly any shoulder fly exercises. At the same time, 8 is starting to be a light for my bicep curls. Ab Ripper X is still tough as usual, but I'm able to keep up more and more as I do it.

Once again, failed on my diet. Overeating is just too easy to do. I had a full lunch and dinner and even after 2 hours after dinner, I was still too full to workout. I have to make that adjustment because I don't like working out too late. I'm going to do Yoga X tomorrow before dinner.

I got my Nike+ and eager to start using it. Tomorrow, I also plan to calibrate my sensor and try it out on Friday. I may replace a Kenpo session with some running. We'll see.
