The Navy is working me like a dog, but unfortunately not my muscles

I want to get back on the P90X TRACK again but the way they keep scheduling, nothing is ever constant! It's so terribly difficult to motivate oneself when you have to keep studying in the books... I feel like my time management skills are running out the window.

Must start up again... Can't just stop at day 74! Any suggestions?

Day 63, going to begin the 10th week...

Low and behold, I have done the measurements for Day 60! And the results:

Thighs went up (supposedly) a half inch and so did my bust. Everything else... nothing according to the measuring tape. However, I do look a lot more fit. I did Kenpo this morning and I have definitely got more muscle definition in the arms (lean not huge!) and my endurance during the ABX is fantastic! I can do all the moves and it isn't as much of a struggle as 60 days ago! I still like the Kenpo on Sunday morning (I do it out of order, I rest on my drinking days) so I can feel charged for the beginning of the week.

:) 30 more days left to work on the diet, maybe I can finally reveal the abs covered by the muffin top...

Week 9: Day 59

During recovery week, I honestly did nothing to do with the DVDs. I've basically been modifying the P90X program since work's been picking up. Instead of plyo yesterday, I spent my cardio day biking around Oak Harbor and golfing at the range. I also went golfing on my chest/back day, so that was pretty much a full body workout. Today was shoulders and arms, and I still ate lots of kabob food. Hopefully tomorrow I'll squeeze in a jog around the area and then do the Day 60 measurement!

I actually think the measurements haven't changed, but my arms have gotten a lot more defined... I just wish I could get the abs without flexing... I can see them there! I just happen to eat like a boy, especially with the roommate always cooking boy food...

Day 52 supposedly, and I spent 4 days in beloved Canada at Whistler feeling unbelievable burns in my thighs and calves from snowboarding/skiing. It's been hard for me to get back in the groove of working out again because I had to

1. Recover from "vacation"
2. Re-learn how to wake up ass early for events
3. Find a new room to work out since the condo has become more musical

Good thing this is recovery week, Week 8. I need to go for a run, but not when its gusting 30 mph winds.

Day 43

In reality, it's supposed to be day 50, but I had to repeat a week. This week has also been a little sloppy, the exercises were done modified and one day late. However, I woke up and did some Kenpo that made me happy, and I'm willing to do two workouts tomorrow (Chest/Shoulders/Tri and Legs/Back).... hopefully I'm not too worn out!

For yoga last week, I got so angry at my joints for being crappy that I changed the yoga section (after doing two astanga salutations) to the 10 minute trainer version called Yoga Flex. It was a fast pace on P90X style yoga, but I'm' sure if I did it twice, it would make up for most from the program.

My pull up bar is out of commission for the time being, so I'm doing sitting rows with a band for the pull up exercises.

Week 6 is being repeated...

Due to a visit from a best sibling, my week has been cancelled and will be repeated. I have managed to hike, kayak, and snowboard during the week, but not follow any P90x workouts.

Reach ya back on Monday when I start up again!

Day 31

Back and Biceps!!!!

According to the forums on Beachbody.com, most people tend to drop off at the 30 day mark (week four). I think it's just because they enjoy the week long of rest and recovery that they do not look forward to working hard again. But I love the feeling after an hour (only an hour!) worth of sweat. Today was no exception.

My biceps were burning almost the entire time! I did the band workout with all the curling action and was almost afraid that my triceps were not going to be able to compete! The back was needing a little bit more love, as I've been doing the bar with the help of the chair. Don't know how much love that is, I'd rather be doing bands for pull ups, I've just got to up the resistance... don't know how though! What do I do about that? Any ideas??

Crap. Yoga tomorrow.
