Dukan Diet Restart -- Cruise Week 21 Wednesday

Day 148

Weight: 135.25lb (61.35kg, 9.66st)
Gain: .25lb
Total lost: 12.25lb (5.56kg, 0.88st)
Total lost since 3/2011: 22.75lb (10.32kg, 1.63st)

Water intake: 138oz & 45oz lemonade ( 183oz = 5.41l) & 1 mug of herbal tea

Well, I did stuff myself at dinner, so it could have been worse.  Then again, stuffing oneself on veggies, that's not too bad.  Just too much cheese...  I will keep the sodium intake low today just in case.  I did the Chest Shoulders & Tris workout for Week 5 of P90X.

P90X Spring 2012: Week 5 Chest, Shoulders & Tris

I did the CS&T workout for Week 5 of P90X.  I increased my pushups, which makes sense, as I am 8lbs lighter than I was in Feb/Mar the last time I did it, and a few more than I did in Week 5 around this time last year.  I only did 100 reps of ARX.

P90X Spring 2012: Weeks 2 & 3

I forgot to post last week's Shoulders & Arms, so this post is for three workouts!  Anyway, I am getting stronger as well as lighter, so I was able to increase my reps in pushups/pullups during Chest & Back, and I was able to improve my performance in Shoulders & Arms both weeks.  I've been skimping on ARX this week, I only did about 100 reps on Friday, same for yesterday.  I'll try to bust a few more reps out tonight.  My other "workouts" have been walking, walking, and more walking.  My "rest week" is next week, so I won't be doing these two workouts for 6 weeks.  Boo!

P90X Spring 2012: Week 2 Chest & Back

Doing this workout on a PP day probably isn't that great an idea, but that was the schedule this week.  I upped my pushups to 94, and assisted pullups to 57.  I did 100 reps of ARX, I'll do more tomorrow morning.

P90X Spring 2012: Week 1 Shoulders & Arms and ARX

Yesterday, I did 3 of the ARX moves before the workout as the "warmup", as I was running low on time, then did Shoulders & Arms.  Some of the weights that I used weren't quite as high as the last time I did, but pretty respectable (5-8-10-13.5-15).  I'm going to try to go to 20lb with the curls next week. Since I'm so much lighter, I was able to increase my chair dips.

This morning, I did several more of the ARX exercises, and I'll do the last few this evening.  I was definitely a little sore from Saturday's ARX, I don't think I would have been able to do even half of ARX yesterday. Total ARX reps over 24 hrs was around 250, which was less than Sunday, but considering how sore I was, it's a miracle!

I'm not sure what other routines I'm going to do this week, as I have to straighten up tonight in preparation for my Mom visiting tomorrow, and the new week starts Thursday already!  I did do some leg lifts and sissy squats today to compensate for not doing a lower-body workout this week.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 79-80: Shoulders & Arms

No Plyo, I walked 40min on the treadmill on an incline Sunday, so that's my cardio.

I did ARX with my elder DD, even though she was feeling negative and complained, she was able to do 151 reps!  Fantastic!  She'll do better on Friday when we do it together again.  I was able to do all 349, as I got rest periods helping her with her form.

S&A went fine, went down in some weights because of the time off.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 78: Chest & Back

I skipped three weeks.  My week in Barcelona was Week 8 (recovery week), but after that I had 3 weeks off.  I'm going to do Weeks 11 and 12, then start a new round so I have a full round before my summer vacation in July.

I did C&B today.  I'm several pounds lighter than when I started this round of P90X, so I had 15 total pushups more than Week 3, but my pullups total was a little less.

I also did ARX, 304 reps.  I had trouble with the V-ups and the obliques.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 44-45: Chest Shoulders & Triceps

Nothing on Friday.  I did CS&T and the full ARX today, mid-afternoon.  I increased my unassisted pushups from 44 to 53.  I didn't increase any of my weights, I did increase reps in a few exercises.  I don't feel like I'm building as much muscle as I have in the past, probably due to the restrictions in diet.  Well, when I get into Consolidation, I'll try to focus more on that.  I'm going to try to squeeze in several workouts today, since I'm so behind.  We shall see!

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 42-43: Plyo and Back & Biceps

Had a good workout for Plyo.  Every exercise I did was less modified than last week.  Back & biceps was the next day, and that also went well.  My abs still ached from the other day, so I only did 3 exercises (75 reps total).

P90X Winter 2011-12: Day 35-41

I really needed to work on my house this weekend, so I decided to not stress about the workouts.  I am trying to catch up now.  I plan to double up on some workouts this weekend.  I did CS&T and ARX yesterday.  I was able to increase my full pushups from 29 to 44, and did all reps of the ARX exercises except for the V-rollups & left obliques, but increased from 285 to 327.  Plyo today.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 32-34: High & Tight and Kenpo X

Sunday I skipped Yoga.  Monday I did the entire ARX workout for the first time this round.  I've been lazy, and doing the first 3-4 exercises in ARX as a warmup to the main workouts.  I did 285 out of 349.  Not bad!  My abs felt nice and tight today.

After that was BBL's High & Tight, with some of L&B's pullups.  I did 33 assisted, and the H&T went well.

Today I did Kenpo X for the first time this round.  A little rusty, but I feel good!

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 31: Back & Biceps

I tried to heavy up some of the exercises.  It is my first B&B this round, so it wasn't my best, but I did do my best, so I forgot the rest!

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 30: Plyo

I felt great during the workout!  I was able to do a little more than the last time, and didn't take any extra breaks. Burned a few calories for sure.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 19-29: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps

After week 3's Shoulders & Arms, I did one of the X Stretch workouts during Recovery Week, and now it's Week 5.  It's been a long time since I did CS&T.  I also have been doing P90X lite, in that without doing Yoga and skipping some of the pullups in Legs & Back, I'm not getting as much pushup work as I should.  So, the fact that I had a low number of pushups is no surprise.  Once I've reached my goal weight and doing Consolidation in the Dukan program, I'll focus more on doing P90X properly.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 17-18: Shoulders & Arms

I didn't do a workout on Saturday.  I managed to squeeze in S&A on Sunday, which meant I left out Yoga.  I was able to improve on all my exercises.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 16: Plyo

I felt good, I didn't pause the video once!  I did all the exercises (except for the bonus round).  Of course I modified some of them, but I certainly burned a bunch of calories. 

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 14-15: Rest Day and Chest & Back

I had a rest day (celebrated my DD's birthday) on Wednesday.  Yesterday, I did Chest & Back.  I was able to increase my pushups to 74 full, and 60 assisted pullups.  An improvement over last week, but of course still behind where I was last June.  I won't be doing C&B again until after we get back from Barcelona in February!

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 11-13: BBL's High & Tight

Didn't do Yoga, and was exhausted yesterday, so no L&B.  Today I did the High & Tight workout again, this time with ankle weights (I think they're 2lb).  Still love it!  Squeezed in 3 sets of pullups, one each of chinups, reverse grip, and wide.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 10: Shoulders & Arms

I finished the whole workout this time.  I had to drink more ice water to cool down, my room is still pretty hot.  However, I did improve on reps/weights from last week. 

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 9: Plyo

Big improvement over last week!  Got through 35min before I skipped an exercise.  I also skip the sports extra exercises.  The other problem I have is that my apartment is overheated, and I had to open the window to cool the room down.  That wasn't working fast enough, so I had to pop a bunch of ice cubes in my water.  I get really sluggish and tired when I'm hot, so cooling down really helped up my energy level.
