P90X Day 13 - Kenpo

Haven't posted in a while so here is the update:

Day 9 - Plyometrics
Day 10 - Arms & Abs (with Nick)
Day 11 - Yoga (with Victoria)
Day 12 - Chest & Back & Abs
Day 13 - Kenpo

I was down 5 lbs (200) at the end of week 1. I'm down 2 more lbs (198) after week 2.

Nutrition plan still going mostly well. Did have a small piece of birthday cake for Brooke this week, a soft pretzel that George stopped eating at Emma's concert on Saturday. Today I had my carbs in pasta form (spaghetti) for the first time in 2 weeks!

P90X Day 8

Day 4 - Yoga (90 minutes, I was dripping with sweat half-way through)
Day 5 - Legs & Back (lunges, squats, pull-ups) + Ab-Ripper X
Day 6 - Kenpo (boxing & kicking)
Day 7 - Rest

Day 8 - Chest & Back + Ab-Ripper X again

I have pretty much stuck to my nutrition plan, other than Saturday at the Indians game I ate an extra bun (carbs) and some french fries. I have added EAS Protein Drink to my diet also.

P90X Day 2 - Plyometrics

Stretching, then 4 or 5 sets of 4 different jumping exercises. I'm posting this the morning after and I am definitely sore!

Protein bar & milk for breakfast.

Turkey sandwich & apple for lunch.

Chicken, green beans, & milk for dinner.

P90X Day 1 - Chest & Abs

Stretching, then 2 sets of 12 different exercises, mostly push-ups & pull-ups, a few creatively named bent over rowing exercises "heavy pants" and "lawnmower". Followed by ab-ripper, which was 25 reps of I think 14 different ab exercises. I didn't get near 25 on most of them.

I'm doing the nutrition plan too.

Protein bar & milk for breakfast.

Turkey sandwich & apple for lunch.

Ham, green beans, & milk for dinner.
