Day 2 of following The Primal Blueprint and it hits: The wall. Now, I will admit this: I’m not counting calories. I’m not logging what I eat. I’m simply being aware of carb intake. I keep a rough count in my head and an awareness as I try to hit the sweet spot of 50-100. [...]
Hey dummy, you’re not eating enough! That was the revelation I came to this morning while trying to figure out where I stand on P90X. In fact, I may be severely under-eating and not realizing it. I started figuring my normal daily intake and I was getting around 1500 calories by supper, which means at [...]
Getting down to the nitty-gritty with P90X. Today was Plyo X. Knowing I have Insanity on tap next, I know that I need to push myself hard on Plyo days to prep the legs a bit. Today, I did not disappoint. I did hurt a bit (in a good way, I mean in a good [...]
Earthquakes + Thunderstorms waking the kids up + hips that are enough out of align to cause discomfort leads to a P90X Plyo X session that was VERY difficult. Just so everyone has a reference on me…I live in an area that seems to be getting a lot of seismic action. In fact, we’ve been [...]
I’m a day behind on blogging thanks to the Super Bowl, so let me play a bit of catch-up in this post: Day 36 – Ab Ripper X, Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps I can write this now, being over 24 hours since I did the workout, but I’m a bit sore. I worked hard on [...]
Some day’s you’ve got it, and some day’s you don’t. Today was definitely an “I got it” type of day with P90X Plyo X! At first I thought I was dogging it as I could not get my heart rate up during the warm-up. Now I’m beginning to think that my heart rate monitor wasn’t [...]
One thing is for sure on my P90X day 16: My legs were burning like CRAZY during Plyo this morning. I did push a bit harder, but I could also tell that I might have been a bit short on calories yesterday. I felt a bit drained early, which is a little unusual for me. [...]
Plyo X for P90X day 9…what can I say. Legs were on fire at the end. Heck, legs were on fire about midway through! Heart rate stayed up well. Average heart rate for the 58 minutes was 149, with a peak of 169. Burned 706 calories. Nutrition was fairly good today. Had 1/2 cup of [...]
Today was P90X day 2 – Plyo X. The word of the day is “sore.” Lower core is sore from Ab Ripper X. Legs are feeling it a bit as well from Plyo. Upper body is sore from Chest and Back. Yep…weakness leaving my body, and I’m okay with that. Diet today so far (one [...]
Ok, so this quote doesn’t come from the P90X Plyo X workout, but that is EXACTLY what was going through my mind. Last night, I was all excited to go to bed, get a good night’s sleep, wake up refreshed and energized and ready to absolutely crush Plyo x. But something happened….and I’m not sure [...]
