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 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 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.

P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 2: Plyo

So sad!  I struggled through it, I was low-energy, and skipped a few exercises.  Well, I burned a few calories, I guess.

P90X Round 2 Days 1-2: Chest & Back and Plyo

I had a great workout yesterday, kept up with the numbers I had the last two times I did C&B.  Tonight's Plyo, I dragged a little bit. Fridays I'm frequently sleep-deprived.  It's nice doing the exercises when I weigh so much less.

P90X Day 58: Plyo

Dragged myself through the workout.  I think I was dehydrated, I felt cold.  Drinking a lot of water helped my hydration, but it also made my fat pad on my abs jigglier, and I was wearing the wrong shorts (I usually wear higher-waisted ones to contain the jiggle), so jumping was uncomfortable.

P90X Day 44-46: Plyo, Back & Biceps, Not Yoga

I'm getting stronger, I'm able to get through Plyo with very few pauses now.  Today I did all of ARX (yay!  first time so far), and Back & Biceps.  Upped my chair-assisted pullups.  Since I'm alone with the dog, doing 2 routines is troublesome, so no evening workout.  I had a shopping-related long walk, so some cardio...  B&B was over by 2:15, so tomorrow's L&B will be 29-30 hours later.

P90X Day 30: Plyo

OK, I'm a day behind because I did it today (we were out last night, so no time), but it was an excellent workout!  That recovery week can really recharge the batteries, plus I ate dinner before, so I suppose I was well fueled.

P90X Day 11 & 12: Rest Day and Legs & Back

I decided to take it easy yesterday.  Maybe that was the right thing, because I felt really good today.  Anyway, toughed it out through L&B.  Increased my pullups by 12 (still no unassisted), to 86.  My sneakers are still slipping on the floor when I do my wall squats, which is very annoying.  I'm going to have to solve that problem soon.  Other than that, things are going well.  Still shrinking, even though the scale isn't moving.  Maybe tomorrow will be the day I go into the 140's.

P90X Day 9 & 10: Plyo and Shoulders & Arms

3:00 PM -- I did all the exercises (except for the bonus round).  I think I did better than last week, but I might have eaten too few calories so far today (2 scrambled eggs, some carrots).

8:30 PM -- Shoulders & Arms went well. I increased some weights and reps.  OK, usually you should have a day in between C&B and S&A.  I had 28 hrs.  Tomorrow, walking or Yoga, or maybe both!

P90X Day 2: Plyo & my P90X history

This workout went very well -- all that walking in Rome for 5 days really built up my leg strength, so I was able to do almost all the exercises without modifying too much. OK, I didn't do the sports segments at the end, but I'll get to that in a few weeks. I was able to do the first Hot Foot completely.  First time since I had my foot operations in March 2010.

Background on my P90X:

I started P90X September 2008, did two rounds, and got through a good portion of the third round before going off for vacation summer 2009.  When I got back, I started a round in September 2009, but I got so wrapped up in getting my older daughter in high school, I couldn't put in the time. I had my bunions operated on in March 2010, which put me out of commission for quite a while.  I started a round again in September 2010, did about three weeks, but once again, didn't stick with it.  This time I've had enough.  I was a 4-6 in Spring 2009, now I'm an 8.  I want to fit into my regular clothes again!
