Entered Phase 2

This past week I entered phase 2 of P90X.  My fellow challenge group buddy, Steve Moffett, and I are going strong and not letting anything slow us down.  I had to alter a it a bit due to a sciatica issue I sustained from moving my daughter's dresser.  Plyo was definitely out of the picture during that time.  I did Yoga X though this past week and FINALLY felt the issue "release".  I am feeling so much better.  Yoga really is the fountain of youth so don't be knocking it until you have tried it.  Even if you are older, YOU NEED YOGA!  As you progress you will feel so awesome.

So many want to skip Yoga X!  Don't!  It is key to your development through the program!  I know. There are a lot of exclamation marks here.  That should tell you how serious this is!

I also went to get a suit recently.  They have to special order it.  Why?  My chest to waist issue is not the norm.  They are use to the chest being 4 to 6 inches bigger than the waist.  My waist is 12 inches smaller than my chest.  They have to actually make it to ensure it matches appropriately.  That was an awesome feeling.  I will be getting a suit "tailored" to me.   Thanks to P90X and Shakeology!  Tell me that wouldn't be a good feeling to have.  They aren't even going to charge me more for it either.

What are you waiting for!  You can get both P90X (or another program) and Shakeology at a discounted price by clicking here and then clicking "the take the challenge" button!


Eat Clean and workout dirty!  You can do this!!

P90X week 3 and injury

As I close week 3 I am unable to finish it strong.  I moved my daughter's dresser wrong and injured my back.  Ended up with a trip to the ER and pain meds.  The pain was so bad my right leg went numb.

So i am basically on bed rest for the next few days.  I am doing stretches and using a foam roller in conjunction with percocet, flexeril, and steroids.  So if some of this doesn't make sense, I apologize. 

I did see some great gains however in week 3 up to that point.  For now, I will let my body heal and go from there.  That is the best thing to do.  Don't let your ego get the best of you.  Put the ego away and heal.  You will be stronger as a result. 

Week 2 of my P90X Journey

Week 2 is at an end.  I would like to say that I killed it all, but I can't.

I was having issues with the sciatica this week.  I did do my hardest though and brought it like no one's business.  I pushed hard and that is all that matters.  Sure, the pain bothered me, but I still pushed through it all ass much as I could, until it was unbearable.

I am still fueling my workouts with Shakeology each and every day.  I don't know what I ever did without it.  Shakeology has to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.   I am so serious.  I feel so energized and clear headed throughout the day when I do take it.  It's low calories also help me to reach my goals of weight/fat loss. 

I did increase the weight and reps on most of the workouts though this week, even with the pain.  Like I said I pushed through until it was unbearable.  That is how you bring it, but I didn't over due it.  That is the key.

EAT CLEAN AND WORKOUT DIRTY EVERYONE!
