WEEK 7 Update

WEEK 1                           WEEK 7

      What to do if you are sick while in the middle of P90X? Last week Saturday I had to skip my kenpo-X  CD because I had a terrible cold or sinus infection, whatever it was I told myself that working out would have put me in worse shape than if I went to bed early. And that's exactly what I did that Saturday. I was in bed by 8:30 and sleeping before my head hit the pillow. It worked because today I'm operating at about 95%.
      I don't know how much I weigh because I was running late to work this morning and forgot to step on the scale. Although at work I added a hole to my belt on the good side, I was sick of pulling up my pants all the time. I hope that I can get my wonderful wife to re-size all my shirts that are XL to L. My T-shirts are becoming long sleeves. Thanks to Heidi, she helped me make a collage of my progress pictures.

WEEK 6

looking at my trainer to see what to do.

OK so he wants me to pretend to be Tom Brady or something. (this move is called throw the bomb.)

Now the other arm, see this is fun! But really it is.

READY GET SET

UP!! (clap push ups)

WOW! that was hard. (I did 9 of those and they were towards the end of the workout.

Ahhh here is some dinner pork chop broccoli and brown rice (like a cave man)

The face picture at the start of week 6!

Week #1 look how unhappy I look.

      This workout has been a lot of fun I look forward to it everyday. We are still living in an apartment here in Michigan's U.P. So on a day to day basis I don't have a lot to do. P90X has become my daily chore but, lets be honest it is only one a hour and fifteen  minutes a day so any one can do it if they want it bad enough. I say chore but here I am in week six and I love my workouts Its not a chore it is becoming an addiction, P90X is my junk food. I have ton's of energy these days. On days off I wake up before the sun comes over the horizon. That is something I would have not considered doing before P90X.
      I have been looking into a workout called Crossfit. I think that its really cool but, the only down side of it would be having to join a crossfit gym. We all know that when you join a gym you now have a monthly payment. and I don't care for any kind of monthly payments. That is why I like P90X once you have it you own it no memberships. Although there is the crossfit diet, or at least the diet a lot of people use when they are doing crossfit. The diet is called Paleo and the Paleo diet can also be called the cave man diet. From everything that I have gathered the paleo diet is a  diet where you don't eat any processed grains or dairy two things that are hard to come by in this house. I just have to watch my portions and, eat one plate of food and call it good. 
      I'm not that worried that I'm doing the wrong thing yet. Today was also the day I weighed my self, and I was at 196 lbs that is now a 15 lbs loss from where I started. So if keep hitting play and give it my best each day the results will keep coming

      P.S. my editor (Wife) is not here tonight so bear with me I have never been good at putting things into words. I'm working on it.

Results Week

week#1

week#1

week#5

 Today was results day after 4 weeks of P90X. These are the pictures that I think you can see the best results. I have lost 1 inch on my chest, 3 inches on my waist, and lost 12 lbs. I have gotten this success by eating clean, high protein foods every 2 to 3 hours, smaller portions and working out at least an hour every day with P90X. you can do it too, you just have to Bring IT!

WEEK #4

week#1

     This is the start of week #4 at the end of this week I will be taking my next full body pictures. The beginning of P90X three week's ago I weighed 211 lbs. Today February 7, 2012 I am on the brink of going below the 200 lbs barrier. Yes that means that I have lost 11 lbs in the first three weeks of this Extreme fitness adventure. This is great and all but I'm not satisfied at all. Actually I'm a disappointed in my self I want to be in better shape so bad I wish the weight would come off faster. Sunday night was really hard for me. Because as you all know it was super bowl Sunday. There was tons of great food and sweets in front of me all night long. The only good thing I can take out of that night is that I did not eat any sweets but I felt like I did over eat on some of the junk that was there. I did not want to look at the scale Monday morning and all the junk in my gut I didn't want to take my weekly face shot. Tuesday morning came and the scale said that I was 200 lbs so that was a relief that I'm still on track. PS sorry for no workout pics it is a little boring with just my face on here.
