So i am officially 1/9th of the way through P90X.  Today was arms and shoulders.  my best overall effort to date.  I gave it 110% with great form on all.  And i am proud to say that i nailed about 85% of ab ripper x baby!!!  fu**ing amazing!!!  yesterday was plyo’s and i gave that 110% although i still got pretty winded, and had to take some breaks, but hey, we don’t all start out looking like Tony!  I am currently working out of town for this week and next (will be my biggest challenge weeks by far!!!!)  i brought my dumbells and my pull up bar, so i can do everything.  the only thing is i have to go out to eat every night right after work with co-workers and clients, and they all drink and eat expensive fatty carby dinners.  i wanted to so bad tonight, but i stayed true and ate healthy and didn’t drink, but it will be very hard the rest of the week!!!  only 80 more days of domination!!!!!  FEEL THAT FU**ING BURN!!!!

So today was day 1 of week 2, shoulders and back.  WOW!!!  i made a concious effort to pause the tape during every exercise and do it at my pace and with good form.  My first round went unbelievably well.  i may have over-did it on round 1, b/c that latter half of round two i struggled a lot on the pushups and pullups and never acheived my first round max’s.  however, every single one of them was with awesome form, and all in all I did much better than week 1 where i had bad form just to get my reps up.  so this was the BEST day i have had so far.  ab ripper X owned me again.  i am getting better but my core is just very week.  i am ready to dominate tomorrow!  feeling the burn of P82X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yesterday was legs and back/arms and i gave it my all.  Still not very strong and learning the moves, but everyday is a step forward.  I have noticed that a big problem i have is that i pay too much attention to Tony and what he says and thus i try and keep up with him.  so i give up form to do more, and that is a big no no.  so I have decided that i will pause the tape from now on and do the exercise at my speed with good form so that i can truly judge my progress and where i am at.  so today was Kempo.  DAMN!!!!  i love that shit!  i can do that at 1000% all day long baby!  i gave it my all and tried my best for form.  i was very slow and stiff for about the first 2/3 of the program and then the last 1/3 i was on fire!  i was clicking on all cylindars and could have went an entire nother round!  i love that shit….amazing way to end the 1st week!  Goal for next week:  FORM FORM FORM!!!!  also, i dominated the diet all week long, except for pop i had one a day.  goal for diet next week:  KEEP IT UP, and NO POP!!!!  FEEL THE BURN!!!!  ****ing tony horton

Not much to say here.  Today was Yoga…tough as hell…had a poor attitude towards it, and gave it only about 60%.  Not at all happy with myself.  Didn’t relax, and just had a bad day.  Ate really well, but didn’t follow it up with that great of a workout.  Need to rededicate myself to the harder things like yoga!  P86X, and tomorrow I AM BRINGING IT!!!

So yesterday was day 3 of P90X, and i believe it was shoulder and arms, as well as ab ripper x.  things are going well.  i am trying to give it all i have, its just that i haven’t lifted forever and i don’t get that "burn" that i desire right now…my muscles just basically give out and can’t move any more.  so i end the workout tired as hell, the usual, but i feel like i am not giving it everything, however i know i am, i am just not at the stage right now where i can push it like i want to.  i can’t wait for that day to come!  hopefully it will be in the next week for two.  ab ripper x went much better than the first day.  if i completed 1/3 of it the first day i got 2/3 done this time.  so massive improvemets there.  The diet is going great, the only set-back has been my 1 soda that i have in the morning.  i got one yesterday and today.  i am going to will myself to not have anymore this week!  dedication baby that is what its all about!  all in all i m ready for this thing.  i want to take it head on, i want that burn!!!!  burn baby burn!!!  P87X  hu-ah!

So today was my second day of P90X, and it was the Plyo’s day…the BEAST.  haha!  yup that pretty much sums it up.  I felt the burn for 52 minutes!  I gave it everything I had, and I feel better about myself since finishing that workout than I have in a long time!  I almost can’t wait for the next "mountain" that P90X will throw at me tomorrow.  This is going to be hands down the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.  Which is why this will be a life-changing event.  I am ready for this challenge, and will continue to dominate this program!  I am officially counting down that days…this program is now P88X baby!!!

So today was my first day of P90X.  And I only have one thing to say…WOW!  I made it through the shoulders and back.  It took all I had, and I will really be feeling the burn tomorrow, but at least I made it.  Then I made a valid attempt at ab ripper X.  This will without a doubt be the hardest thing for me!  My core is so horrible.  I would say I left it all on the mat and did about 1/3 of the total program.  I look forward to making great strides with this.  I want to look like He-Man, and I am willing to go balls to the wall to get this!
