Week 8 Phase 2 Recovery Week

Week 8
Phase 2 Recovery Week


Wednesday April 29, 2009
In spite of my allergies, which have been a beast this week, and the heat, that was something like hell, I have managed to stay on schedule. I have Legs & Back/ Ab Ripper tonight. I'm really excited I have reached my 90 day goal. (Size Goal 16) I officially wear a size 16 pants with room to spare. YEAH ME MOMENT!!!! I'm still refusing to get on the scale. "The scale is the devil." So I won't know how much I weigh until Sunday when I take my 60 day photos and get on the scale.
So I have set a new goal for the next 30 days or the p90x home stretch. I am shooting for a size 14 pants and 12 skirt. I think that is do able. So I will let you know what the pics look like. I might even feel brave enough to post them.
Until Sunday


SUNDAY APRIL , 26 2009
So I have adjusted the program for this week. I just simply refuse to do yoga and since I need to make up a work out from last week I have make some adjustments. So for (P-90x lean/ Phase 2/ Recovery week) I have changed the schedule to :
STRETCH X
KENPO
CORE
STRETCH X AM & LEGS BACK / AB RIPPER X
KENPO
CORE
REST


By the way I actually have shorts on today. I haven't worn short in about 5 or 6 years. I would always do dresses and crops in the summer. So yeah me!!!

Week 7
Thursday Apr. 23, 2009

So far so good this week. I started on Monday again this week. So I'm in the middle of my weekly rotation. I can't wait until next week. I will have officially completed 60 days next Sunday. I don't feel like much has change from 30 to 60 but I will wait and see in the pictures. What I have noticed is that I have gone from a 40/42 DD to a 36/38 D and C. Most of the D's have plenty of extra breathing room. I guess that is okay as long as the rest of me keeps shrinking too. So I will keep you up dated on my progress.

Enjoy the rest of your week!!!!


My work out attitude: Was good i did miss one work out this week. BACK AND LEGS/ AB RIPPER X. Since next week is my recovery week I think i will add it in place of of one of the YOGA this week. There are two on the schedule this week and i already replaced YOGA with STRETCH X.
Food issues:
I haven't been paying attention to diet as much. I had a hamburger from a spot with no cheese and only the top bun and a salad from Taco bell. The taco bell salad is outrageous on calories so all I ate was the meat cheese, veggies, 200c and shell 200c. The dressing was about 250c and the rice and beans in the salad where 300c. Next time I will order this with just the veggies and meat, no rice beans cheese and dressing.

Weekly Wrap Up: Besides missing one work out pretty good. I have increased in the number of pushup and pullups I can do during a work out. I wore a pair of 16 pants (no muffin top) on Friday night. This week has been preety good.

Week 6 so far...

Thursday March 16, 2009
So I made it though last week. I only missed one Ab Ripper, which I have yet to make up. But I will added it to the end of KENPO on Friday this week.

So I started this week one day late. My allergies had been bothering me all weekend. So I didn't work out on Sunday. I took off on Monday and went to the Doctor for my yearly allergy shot and prescription. And now all is well. So I started my work out week on Monday. So far so good. I really tried to bring it in CHEST, SHOULDERS & TRICEPS/AB RIPPER work out. The extra 300 calories seem to be helping a lot. NO CRASHING.

I'm still trying to get into those Gap Jeans, sz 16. I have them on and I can zip them up but boy the "Muffin Top is a Mess". And I also bought another pair of Goal jeans from the Banana Republic sz 16. Okay, I can get them on but no zipping for this pair. So we will see what happens at the end of this Phase.

Week 6
My work out attitude: I had a pretty good attitude this week. I made up the ab ripper I misses and made it up at 5am twice during the week.
Food issues:
Boy do I love a Wendy's Spicy chicken Breast. I have had 2 each on a salad and with my own dressing.
Weekly Wrap Up: The allergey think really screwed me up but i pushed through. Last week seemed like the longest and hardest P90x week ever.


Week 5 is coming to an end.

I have 2 more work outs this week. The only work out that has changed for me in PHASE 2 is now I'm doing CHEST, SHOULDERS & TRICEPS/AB RIPPER instead of SHOULDERS & ARMS/AB RIPPER. This work out is a killer. I haven't been able to lift my arms for the last two days and yesterday I though I might have a collapsed lung from all the push ups. My chest was hurting so bad. (By the way I can now do 5 MILITARY/GUY PUSH UPS). Yeah me!!!

I have been getting up at 5am to BRINGING IT. I skipped this morning and I will work out tonight (BACK & LEGS) and then do KENPO on Friday at 5am. I plan on sleeping all day Saturday.

Another Yeah me!!! So I'm wearing my goal skirt today. Size 14 from the gap. (I'm down from an 18 skirt). Well when I bought it, it fit just not like I wanted it to. It was still snug around the mid section. So today it fits perfect. Nice and smooth.

Week 5 April 5-11, 2009
My work out attitude: Good all week.
Food issues: I have upped my calories by about 300 calories. It seems to be making a difference on the scale. Even though I had gotten all the way down to 203 a few day later I was up to 210 but my clothes are falling off me. So I will go with "Muscle Weighs More Than FAT". I won't weigh myself again until May 2nd. That will be the end of my recovery week for Phase 2.
Weekly Wrap Up: I was a little lazy this week. I didn't bring it like i know i should have but next week I will work harder.

Saturday April 4, 2009
So since I didn't have a real week 5 because of vacation I am starting today with Kenpo and then a my regular program. So today I will run while Nyssa is in Karate. 30 min and then do Kenpo tonight. Oh yeah I did work out for an hour on vacation. I ran a mile and did weights lunges and the vinyases/ sun salutations. I did my regular work out on Sunday and Monday before vacation.

Back from Vaction and Back to the GRIND!

The island was great the. The food was delicious. I tried to stay away from the bad stuff but I did splurge on the last day and had an ice coffee and cake. Can I just say it was really good. So I did not weigh in for a little over two weeks since I was so impressed with my before and afters. I know some of you have been looking for those pics. Well I will post those after I take my 60 days pics.
I'm still not so sure who's stomach that was I was carrying in day one Photo. LOL Anyway I did step on the scale while I was there and I was at 203. But who knows if that scale was rights.
Anyway I hope everyone had a great week.
