Tonight was my favorite workout, Kempo X!!! Woohoo!
It's so much fun!!! The hour flys by. I still have problems with my side kicks, forward and back kicks are getting better and higher. I was able to get really deep into my horse stance and feel the burn on all of the blocking, elbow series and punches at the end. Overall the best workout of the week by far. I burned 974 calories and feel great!!!

Day 34
Last night was Legs and Back.
I do fairly well at this workout, but this time around my quads were killing me. I am getting better at squatting lower so that explains the extra extra burn. The pullup portion of this workout still sucked but still givin' it a ton of effort. I am really good at the calf exercises so that makes me happy.
ARX once again to follow. My abs were still sore from ARX a couple of nights ago so I had to push hard but it was tough. A little disappointed that I was only able to do 40 of the Mason twists. Oh well next time around, 'I WILL PWN YOU MASON TWISTS!!!'
lol, w/e, lizate

Day 33
This night was Yoga X.
It's odd that since I have lost some weight, you would think that this would get easier. I struggle with flexibility but generally have good balance. What I have come to realize that even though I am carrying less weight I find other parts of my body hurt. LOL. I have noticed great improvement in my flexibility so that is great. I burned about 870 calories during Yoga, not sure why but that's about 60 calories less than previous Yoga X workouts. Whatever, still workin at it.

Day 32
This nights workout was Back and Biceps and 2 days later I am still sore.
I started this workout strong and finished half decent, lol. It was tough. It consists of several sets of various pullups and curls. I still suck at pullups but I am working hard. I still using a chair but am working til exhaustion so what else can I do? Doin' my Best and forgetting the rest!
Followed up with the usual Ab Ripper X. I swear that recovery week was a layoff from working the abs so getting back into ARX has been hard but still bringin' it.
Burned about 1300 calories during these workouts.
Oh yeah, BTW, WTH is with them ridiculous Corn Cob Pull-ups? Those things are a joke and I can't wait until I am able to do them unassisted.

Day 31
It's been a couple of days since I've updated this blog. I'm still working hard at P90X and enjoying it.
I am actually a day behind because I took Sunday/Mother's Day off from working out. I have decided that it will be easier for me to move my off day to Sunday, so from here on out I will have it has my off day. That means I will be working out this Wednesday which is usually my day off. I am still eating the right foods, just not as often/timely as I should. I am definitely losing weight slowly but surely. I was a little bummed at my 30 day photos, but it just encourages me to continue to work hard, if not harder.

Day 30
WOW!!! Day 30!!!
Today's workout was Plyo-X. This is my second favorite workout so far, second only to Kempo-X. I struggled this time through but still pushed hard. I felt a little sluggish which my diet may have something to do with. Overall this is a great workout and I still love doing it. The sports bonus moves are my favorite, the rockstars and knee up jumps are my least favorite. LOL.
Today I will be taking my 30 day pics. I haven't decided if I will post them now or wait until after the full 90 days. When I decide you'll be the second to know.

Day 29
This is the first week of the next phase of workouts. This night was Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. This workout consists of a variety of extremer pushups and tricep extensions. I worked hard and feel great. The soreness will be welcome as I have missed it over the passed week since last week was my recover week consisting of cardio.
I was surprised at how well I did with ARX. I was able to keep up with this workout just as well and maybe even better than the previous times even though I didn't have this workout for over a week. Was great to be able to get through it without regressing.
