I worked late on Tuesday night, then had to go in early today, and got home around 1:30 AM and went to bed..so I missed this workout. :( But I will do it today.
The good news is that I communted to work yesterday on my bike for the FIRST TIME since graduating from medical school! It felt great, so at least I did that much. Legs STILL sore just from the "warmup" I did with the plyometrics DVD 2 days ago!

p90x Day 2 (Round 2) - Plyometrics!
Haha...well if you've done any p90x workouts at all, you'll know that this DVD is one KILLER workout that will have you walking like you've got noodles for legs for a few days afterwards!
I really had minimal time, but am determined to finish day 60 before my 40th birthday-so I had to do something.
My back was really, really sore from yesterday's workout...not from the "back" exercises, but my low back from the pushups...my arms/pecs are stronger than my lwo back and it created alot of stress, especially the decline pushups.
So I waited until late in the evening to start, my muscles had been warmed up all day, and then I did the warmup...and that was it.
But still, it's a 10 minute work up of jumps, jumping jacks, lunges and stretches so it stands alone as it's own mini-leg workout! And sure enough, I"m STILL sore, 2 days later. It's a good sore though, I'm getting strong (again)

p90x - Day 1 of 90 , Round 2
Hi all, I am so, so sorry for my absense...but even more sorry to myself. Life gets crazy and busy, and while I stayed active, p90x active is a different kind of beast. I have become weak, tired, achy and stiff in the absence of "pushing play".
Yesterday was Day 1 again. I skipped the pre-test and the measurements, but I weighed myself and took photos. This first week will be espeically challenging because I am in the middle (quite literally) of moving. Diet is difficult because I don't want to store and move perishables, so I've been eating dried fruits, canned soups (low sodium), and other "portables" like protein bars and such.
So Day 1 Chest and Back was truly brutal! Especially logging the workout next to the previous round...could I actually be weaker than I was 6 months ago when I started the first time?
Well here I go again.
Current weight: 156lbs
Goal weight: 137 lbs (19 lbs)
Goal Date: November 15th
Why Nov 15th? Well, I turn 40 on November 19th, and I want to finally create, shape and keep the fit beauty that I know is inside of me. Its there dying for the world to see and for some reason I keep stopping myself.
Well the clock won't turn back, I'll never be 18, or 21 or 29 again. But I can be as young as I allow myself to feel as long as I stay true to my internal desires.
Stop sabataging yourself and start pushing play!
