Week #3

1/16/2012

     Yahoo week two is in the books, and today was the start of week three, obviously. There is not that much to update. Each day I keep hitting "play" and I'm treating my workouts like hockey practice. When I was in high school, each day after school I would head to the rink for an hour and a half skate with some off-ice training. If I could do that all winter back then, I can do this for at least 90 days or more. I think that my pictures might be showing some results, but my wife says she don't see it. She is probably trying to keep me from getting a big head. Later in the week I might post some pictures of me in the middle of some of my workouts with a little diary of what I do each day in P90X.

MONDAY OF WEEK #2

I started P90X at 211 lbs, Now the scale said I was 208 lbs. I don't think my face picture is showing any signs of change yet, and I didn't think that it would not after only a week. The biggest thing that I keep telling myself these last few day's is CHEW LIKE A COW, SO I DON'T LOOK LIKE ONE. When I'm eating, before I swallow the food it should have been chewed on both sides of my mouth. Also, I make sure the food is not in the same form that it was when it went into my mouth. When I do this, I fill up with less food than I used to. Oh, and Mom, here is a picture of me smiling, because YES it is a lot of fun working out and becoming more fit.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Week #1 of P90X

       Day 1 of P90X (classic version) was started Monday January 16th. Now I'm posting at the end of week 1. These pictures are some of the pictures I took as the program suggested when starting P90X. Yup, week one is over all I can say is, WOW. I shouldn't be surprised, this is attempt #2 with P90X. The last time, I finished just over 2 months of this extreme work out, during which I shed 15 lbs. It was noticed by friends, family and co-workers.
       Well, all the hard work that I was doing was interrupted when we traveled downstate to my brother's wedding. I told myself that I get one week off, and when I get back I would get right back on it. WELL, that didn't work. During that week off, I fell back into almost every bad habit that I thought I was done with. I picked up chewing tobacco, Taco bell, going for seconds, drinking pop, and eating after 7:00pm. I decided to CHANGE, but I truly did NOT COMMIT TO IT.
        Now, it was time to make a decision, do I want to continue down this road, gaining weight and increasing my risk of lip or mouth cancer? On the way back from spending time with family on Thanksgiving I decided that right then I was done with snuff, and fat! So after some procrastination and the Christmas Holiday, P90X arrived in the mail. (My sister wanted her old copy back, so I need my own.) Monday, January 16th, I started P90X for what is now the second time. I am a week in and the only result I can comment about is that my energy level is increasing. Also this time I am trying a couple of different things, I'm taking a sport muti-vitamin pack from GNC along with their "Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60" dietary drink. I'm going to try and keep a weekly post and face picture to document my successes and failures while I'm getting in the best shape of my life.
