Phase Three Has Begun!

Phase Three kicked off last night with Chest & Back!! One noticable change from the first round was the change in my pushups! In the first round I dropped to my knees to finish a lot of the moves. I still busted it for as many regular pushups as i could, my breaking point was earlier than I liked. The first workout of phase three, was CRAZY! I only dropped to my knees to finish 3-4 Diamond Push-Ups near the end! I did a respectable amount of reps too! I was really pumped the changes from phase 1 to phase 3's innagural workout :) ARX, it had seemed like a million years since I've done ab ripper, so I was definitely feeling it, and it went pretty well!

Today, plyo at 4:45 (SUCK) Plyo went well, I was still shaking off grogginess when it started but what a way to start the day huh? LOL Plans are to go hiking tonight but I believe if we have the same Severe Monsoon Storms we had yesterday, that might not happen, which it ok... I feel like I'm so far behind on some general adult stuff like laundry, dishes, cleaning, and I'm building a website which has been relatively neglected recently.

Btw if you know anyone wanting web design I freelance... ;)

Keep bringing it, and you know I'll be right there with ya!!

I'm sorry

Ok, it's been on my mind for awhile... My lack of updating the blog... is ... shameful!

I'm going to do my best to blog more during phase 3 of my P90X journey! Monday I want to start posting more, I need one more weekend of my "blog recovery month"

{Small Phase 2 Recap}
I have been doing regular doubles (normal workout in the morning and hiking the mountain after work!) Its been killer for my legs as the hike is excessively uphill and tough as nails! This phase has been incredible, I absolutely love P90X and how it has already changed my life in nearly 2 months! I love the workouts Phase 2 gave me, and just as I got to like them and get a little more accustomed to them, recovery week, and new workouts!! LOL

I have to say as well the P90X youtube community has just heightened the experience of this journey! I've never been more motivated or pumped to workout in my life and its all thanks to a little insanity on my part and the fantastic youtube community! I'm going to post a "exotic location" phase 2 recap with some pics hopefully this weekend (I know I'm making the video tomorrow)

YOU ALL ARE FREAKIN GREAT! Much love goin out to ya all!

Talk to you all soon, Phase 3 Starts MONDAY

P90X Phase 2 -Day 1

Phase 2 of P90X starts for me today with Chest, Shoulders, & Tricepts then AbRipper. I'm excited to start the next phase and hopefully feel as lost and hurt as much as I did when I started Phase 1! I'm sure I have a world of hurt in store...LOL. I'm so ready to bring it though!

My Phase 1 wrap up is loaded on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a9zei__TNo

I did some progress pics from the Day 0 (technically Day -10) to Day 30ish of Round 1. I added another pic of me when I was super heavy 5 years ago. It was tough to put that online because I was so thouroughly disgusted with myself at that time with how I looked and what crap I was going through because of it. I keep those pics as reminders of where I don't want to be again. P90X is taking me even further than I thought it would in the first round! I'm always excited to see what the 90th day brings and then ahead to the next round, because its a Marathon not a Sprint!

Here is one of my pics... dont laugh too hard :)
