Oh to eat like Grok…. In my previous post I talked about a move to following a more paleo/primal eating plan than what P90X plan or The Abs Diet offers. My wife thinks its a neat concept and supports me, but I think she may think I’m nuts. But before you pass judgement, I thought [...]
I was smart today before my P90X workout: I remembered to eat a bit of something! I decided that to push through the entire workout at the intensity I wanted to push I’d need a bit of something on my stomach, and a half a banana seemed to do the trick. So my Shoulders and [...]
P90X Plyo X…get your little bucket near by! At least, that is what I thought I was going to feel like. Woke up at 5am, had a headache, had a 2 year old trying to make my life miserable from 4:30 until the alarm went off, but really wanted a good push today. And push [...]
Wow, day 8 already. P90X week 1 went by fast! Back to push-ups and pull-ups today. Day 8 of P90X’s Chest and Back workout was INTENSE today. I learned that I really need to eat half a banana or something before doing this routine. I was pretty wasted by the end (we did do Ab [...]
Today may end up being a very eventful day with my P90X round. It is day 78, and I think I tweaked my left elbow. Actually, I don’t think it was the exercise today that did it, but rather another activity. CST and ABX were fine this morning. I pushed hard and felt like I [...]
I’m writing this a day late, because I had a date night with my wife last night (and was not going to take the time to blog when I’m spending time with her), but yesterday’s P90X was Kenpo X. Nutrition? Not great. So a week in review: Workouts went great, nutrition was not so good. [...]
Happy Presidents Day everyone! I had the day off of my day job, so I got to sleep in a bit and then press play on P90X Core Synergistics. Plus, I had time to do the bonus round! I wish I would have wore my heart rate monitor. I pushed hard. Only had a lot [...]
Another catch-up post. Business has kept me busy at night, so writing here has not always been easy. P90X Day 37 was Plyo X. I felt very, very drained when I first started. But the further I went into it, the harder I could push. I guess just getting the heart pounding and blood flowing [...]
Playing catch-up yet again on posting, one of these days I’ll stay caught up! Friday was Legs And Back and Ab Ripper X. I backed my calories back down to “2400″ (Level 2) but I have a feeling it is a bit too few. I felt weak during most of the routine. I pushed hard [...]
I’ve been busy, so sorry for not blogging about my P90X routines. And to make matters worse, I’m feeling ill right now (low grade fever, sore throat, and hoping its not strep). But….to catch everyone up on what’s been going on… I’m still doing Cardio X on resistance days and it feels like it working [...]
