Day 96 - X2 Base and Back and X2 Ab Ripper

I didn't get to play basketball today because I had to work, but got to play 9 holes of golf with Stephen before doing my workout after dinner.  It seems right now I am able to up my reps on at least one area of the workout each week.  I increased reps on a couple tonight.  I can now easily do 10 chin-ups at the start of the workout, so the progress continues.  I'm having trouble telling if I am continuing to lose any fat around the middle, but I suspect I am being a bit impatient.  This does take time after all.  I plan to take another picture at day 120 to see if there is any noticeable difference.

Day 95 - X2 Yoga

I started out the yoga tonight a bit concerned about pushing it too hard because my elbow was hurting a bit after last night's workout (probably tendonitis).  About halfway through I realized that the workout was actually helping to loosen up the muscles and ligaments in my arm, so by the time I was done it felt pretty good.

Day 94 - X2 Shoulders and Arm & X2 Ab Ripper

Tricep pulls


What's the rule?
"Don't smash your face!!!"

Those are 25 LBS weights, so dropping them by my ears requires a bit of control.  By the time I'm done with this workout My arms feel like rock.  Very enjoyable workout.

Day 93 - Rest Day (sort of)

Once again I decided to do a light workout instead of just sitting on my butt all night.  I did some chin-ups and some pushups just to stay a bit loose.

Day 92 - Plyocide


Tony calls you "Death by jumping"
Because you get my heart a pumping

You make me sweat from every pore
And cause my muscles to be sore
But, for you my limits I explore

--Thank you Plyocide

Day 91 (start of week 14) - Chest and Back and Balance & X2 Ab Ripper

I'm very happy that my desire to continue to work at this has not decreased just because I've passed the 90-day goal.  I worked hard at this workout tonight and I can feel it.  I was able to continue to increase reps on a couple of things, so the progress continues every week.  I also did good at controlling my eating today.  I weighed in this morning and I'm now at 156.  I was talking to a co-worker today and was amazed to hear him say that he had not noticed that I had lost weight.  I told him I had lost over 30 pounds and he said "where did you hide it"?  Ha, I guess some people just not pay much attention :-)

Day 90 - Rest Day

I'm enjoying a rest day.  I went to church with my Dad in Pottstown and we went to Friendly's for lunch afterward.  I had a nice healthy shrimp and rice dish that was only 450 calories, but was delicious.  I weighed in this morning and am holding steady at 157, so down a full 20 pounds from when I start P90X2 90 days ago and down 31 from the start of this journey after Thanksgiving.
