Day 81 (Thursday - August 28)
N/A - Rest Day
Was supposed to do Yoga X today, but I decided to skip it again and catch up on my sleep. Not too happy that I missed another workout, but I want to get my rest in for the last couple of days of work and not to be exhausted for my vacation. Took a walk in the afternoon which was nice.

Day 82 (Friday - August 29)
N/A - Rest Day
Last day before vacation and I decided to skip on my Legs and Back workout since I had a long night last night and some other more personal issues. Anyway, not thrilled about missing another workout, but what can you do. I’m leaving on vacation tomorrow (hopefully), so I’ll probably be done with the P90X routine today. It’s a few days short of the 90 days, but I’ve achieved my goals of getting back into shape and firming up. I’ll be starting the Starting Strength Rippetoe routine in two weeks after I setup my Power Rack and everything. Looking forward to it. Really enjoyed the whole P90X experience and would definitely recommend it to whomever has the dedication for it. Great program for what it’s made for. Cheers!

Day 80 (Wednesday - August 27)
Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper
Back and Biceps again today and for the last time! This is probably my favorite routine of the program and it went really well. I pushed myself hard and managed to up my reps on every exercise. The Ab Ripper routine went well too and it even seemed a little easier than usual today. I managed to hit up the gym last night again, got some cardio and stretching in along with some more ab work. Didn’t stay very long because my girlfriend was sore from the day before, but it was still nice to break a sweat. Tomorrow’s time for Yoga X!

Day 79 (Tuesday - August 26)
Plyometrics
Plyo for the last time today! The routine went really well and I broke a hell of a sweat as usual. I went to the gym last night and got quite a bit of cardio and stretching in, along with a little bit of ab work. It made up for my missed X Stretch routine on Sunday. I might be hitting up the gym again tonight too. Only a few more days before I go on vacation, and hopefully that Hurricane Gustav doesn’t screw up my plans big time… I guess all I can do is just wait and see. Here’s hoping for the best! Tomorrow’s going to be Back and Biceps again. Cheers!

Day 76 (Saturday - August 23)
Kenpo
Kenpo again today and it went well as always. I felt less tired at the end of the routine than usual, not sure if it’s because I’m in better shape now or if I didn’t push myself to the max. Anyway, I broke a hell of a sweat either way and enjoyed the routine. Took a long walk later on in the day too and spent most of the day outside and about.

Day 77 (Sunday - August 24)
N/A - Rest Day
I decided to sleep in today since I had a long night last night and so skipped on my X Stretch routine again. I did take a walk later in the day and will do some stretching tomorrow night when I hit up the gym. All in all, a pretty good week I would say.

Day 78 (Monday - August 25)
Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + Ab Ripper
My last workout week this week! Already 12 weeks in! It was time for Chest, Shoulders and Triceps today and the workout went really well. I managed to up my reps on most of the exercises and broke a ridiculous sweat by the end of the routine. Ab Ripper went well too, and I am just loving the results of these workouts, especially looking in the mirror right after with the pump. Anyway, I’ll probably be hitting up the gym tonight to get some more cardio in and some stretching. I’m leaving on vacation for a week on Saturday, so I’ll try and get the most results in by then. Cheers!

Day 75 (Friday - August 22)
Legs & Back + Ab Ripper
I missed this workout last week, but I made sure not to make it two weeks in a row. The routine went well and I managed to up my reps on all of my pullups and chinups. It’s really a great feeling to see how many I can do now compared to the first day of the program. Ab Ripper went well again too. I didn’t manage to hit up the gym last night, but I did take a long walk in the evening. I should be going to the gym on Saturday during the day to get some work in though, maybe even tonight, we’ll see. Looking forward to Kenpo tomorrow. Can’t believe I’m already 75 days through!

Day 74 (Thursday - August 21)
Yoga
Yoga X today and I’m happy to say that I didn’t skip it this week! Every time I do the routine, I regret all the times that I’ve missed it or skipped on it. I am definitely getting stronger and more flexible. The whole Half Moon sequence is still a killer, and Yoga Belly 7 works my abs like crazy. Enjoyed the routine today and am looking forward to tomorrow’s Legs and Back workout. It should be a rough one since my legs are a little sore from today’s Yoga and I will probably be hitting up the gym later tonight to get some more cardio and stretching in. Also took a long walk last night which felt nice. Things are going pretty well, we’ll see how they keep up in the upcoming weeks!

Day 73 (Wednesday - August 20)
Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper
Shoulders and Arms today and I managed to up my weight on most of the exercises. Ab ripper went well too and once again went through the whole routine without too much trouble. I also managed to finally hit up the gym last night and get some more ab work and cardio in, along with some stretching, so that felt good. Going down south on vacation in less than two weeks, so looking forward to seeing what the next few days of the program have to offer. Tomorrow is Yoga X and I aim at not skipping on it this week! Cheers!

Day 72 (Tuesday - August 19)
Plyometrics
Plyo again today and just one more time doing this routine next week and then I won’t be seeing it again! Time really flies, I can’t believe it’s almost been 90 days already. Anyway, the workout went really well today and I broke a hell of a sweat as usual. My chest, triceps and back are still a little sore from yesterday’s routine. I didn’t get the chance to go to the gym last night, but I might hit it up tonight instead. Workout’s are going well, I just have to stay motivated!

Day 69 (Saturday - August 16)
N/A - Rest Day
Well, I was aiming at getting in a round of Kenpo or Cardio X this morning, but my gf stayed over last night and so I didn’t get the chance to do my workout before we all left for Toronto. Kind of bummed about not doing the routine, but what can you do. The 6 hour car ride wasn’t too much fun, but I manage to keep my diet in check, probably even got more protein than usual in.

Day 70 (Sunday - August 17)
N/A - Rest Day
In Toronto visiting family, so I don’t have the chance of doing any of my workouts here. I did take a walk in the morning, but other than that, just a good long six hour car ride back home. It was good to see the family though, so I can’t complain too much. Not a great week workout-wise, but I’ll make sure not to miss anymore routines for the next couple of weeks and try and hit up the gym a few times to make up for the lost time.

Day 71 (Monday - August 18)
Chest & Back + Ab Ripper
Chest and Back today for the last time! Can’t believe there are only two more weeks of workouts left before my final rest week. Anyway, I wasn’t very motivated today again, but I pushed myself to get the workouts done and I’m happy with the results. I managed to up my reps on all the exercises and completed the full Ab Ripper routine again. Ab ripper seemed a little harder today, but I’m not quite sure why. Anyway, I should be going to the gym tonight to make up a little for the somewhat shaky last week workout-wise. Cheers!

Day 68 (Friday - August 15)
Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper
Today was time for Back and Biceps, one of my favorite workouts of the program. It went really well and I got a hell of a pump in my bi’s as usual. I managed to up my weight and reps on most of the exercises, so I’m pretty happy with that. I’m a little disappointed that I missed two days this week, but what can you do. I wanted to hit up the gym tonight, but it’s closed due to maintenance. I guess I’ll go a few more times next week. Anyway, I’m heading out to Toronto tomorrow morning to visit some family, so I’ll try and get in a Kenpo routine before, or maybe I’ll finally take a look at what Cardio X has to offer. Cheers!
