What's been happeneing with me

2008-09-25T20:10:00.003-07:00

Well, i took a break from workout because i was stressed out as school was ending and i was eating crap. Then i got a REAL job, and became stressed out, didn't do workouts and ate crap and probably put on about 15lbs. Then i had to have surgery and ended up back around 276 lbs. I was on doctors orders to lift no weight for 1 month so frankly, i ate food i shouldn't and didn't work out and ended back up to just over 290. To inspire myself to get back into the workout/diet routine, i created a NEW bet this time with 3 other family members dvg-p90x wanted to compete but does not have the time right now, so he will stop in from time to time to see how things go. The new bet is 60 days, biggest % Weight Loss to average out the weight differences, and each party has put up $20, so the Biggest Loser wins the $80 Jackpot. The new contestants are cvg-p90x, sj-p90x, and jj-p90x. The names are thus to keep it uniform even though not all are doing the p90x program.

Workout/diet routines will be as follows:
svg-p90x -> P90x routine again (skipping Yoga though), trying to eat healthy with small portions
sj-p90x -> Mostly P90x with some Running/Volleyball thrown in, trying to eat healthy with small portions
cvg-p90x -> Gym workouts, trying to eat healthy with small portions
jj-p90x -> Some P90x with Volleyball thrown in, trying to eat healthy with small portions

Also, im not planning a play-by-play like before, i will update the site weekly to update the spreadsheet showing what the current results are. Results should be updated Wed or Thurs at night.

back in the saddle again.....IM BACK!!!!

Day Something...??
Chest/Back
Weight 277.6 lbs

Awesome. It's been nearly a month since I last worked out while i was finishing up my last semester of college and break afterwards. And during that month I had no diet, i ate crap, i drank with friends. And during that whole time i ONLY put on just over 2lbs. I was worried i would put 15 lbs back on. So, I'm getting back into my groove. got this workout out of the way and am going to the store today to buy my diet foods. And my arms are so tired...lol.

Diet
TBD

im stil here

2008-05-02T06:29:00.002-07:00

day 100
legs/back
weight 275.4 lbs

its been one of the most hectic weeks of my school career as its winding down here. so i haven't been eatin my regular diet cause i haven't had time to run home to make things. i probably wont post every day like i did during the 90 day routine. but expect an update every few days to see how things are going. im still doing my daily routine setup that i layed out. although i did miss the most recent plyo because my back was tweakin out on me all day from carrying a 50lb backpack for 2 days and i missed my arms/shoulders routine because i was doing my senior presentation from 6am till 8pm yesterday.

2008-04-27T09:54:00.001-07:00

day 95
legs/back
weight: 272.0 lbs

so even though i've missed a few posts i'm still crankin away at SVG-P90X trim the fat routine. And it seems to be working because I've been a little more open with my diet (I'll have a few beers every now and then and go eat out for dinner every now and then). Awesome legs/back today

Final Results

2008-04-23T06:59:00.004-07:00

Day 91
stretch
weight: 274.4 lbs

Total Loss: 65.6 lbs
Percent Loss: 19.29%

Well, dvg barely hung onto his victory in our Percent Loss competition so I will congratulate him. Both competitors did an awesome job sticking to the program through the 90 days and it really shows in our results. Its very amazing that both parties stuck with it since all my friends that i recommended the program to either stopped within a week or within a month. But i can walk away with my head held high because im the victor of the Total Weight Loss category and I think im the victor in the beauty contest category (meaning i think my weight loss shows better) :P

Plans from here on out are to continue Tony's P90X program BUT I will implement SVG-P90X's Trim the Fat modifications to it. Meaning, im only going to be doing the things that make the routine EXTREME!!! But I will be basing my new routine off of Tony's layout and using his videos.

New Workout Order:
1. Chest/Back/Abs
2. Plyometrics
3. Shoulders/Arms/Abs
4. Legs/Back
5. Stretch
6. Back/Bicep/Abs
7. Plyometrics
8. Chest/Shoulder/Tricep/Abs
9. Legs/Back
10. Stretch
Rinse & Repeat

I'm thinking i will do 3 sets of those 10 workouts then enter a 5 day recovery week consisting of:
1. Core Synergistics
2. Kenpo
3. Core Synergistics
4. Kenpo
5. Stretch
Back to Business with the 3x10 routines.

2008-04-21T06:37:00.004-07:00

day 89/90
core synergystics
weight 275.4 lbs

i had more participation this time around that last. also, unlike dvg who skipped day 1, i am on a 91 day schedule to fully complete the program (7*13=91). So that means my final results should go to 91 days instead of the 90. So i get a buffer on gettin down to 272.6 lbs (the mark i need to pass dvg's 19.8%). It'll be tough, but we'll see. Either way, its been a great competition with both sides showing AWESOME losses. The final stretch is upon us.

so like i said i went out partying last night. I had to indulge a little in the fun since its been so long. For records sake i had about 50 oz of Miller Lite, 2 chips with cheese, 2 wings, and half of a turkey/ham focassia (or whatever) and a small salad. So i'd say that was about 700 cal.

Workout today went really well even though its been so long since i've done it.

day 58/90
plyometrics
weight: 287.2 lbs

i was tearin this baby up today. Did every last part of the warmup routine which i normally skip the last couple lunges and squat reaches. I was doing all the jumps in the jump routines rather than just bouncin up too my toes. Had a few interuptions and an audience briefly but i still did the best to date. The poundage gain doesn't bother me cause im eating very eratically right now and i wont get back into my steady eat routine for another few days. But considering such a gnarly workout today, im thinkin there may be some loses tomorrow, but tonights party might say otherwise :P

so i got a real late start and i have no way of doing my pullups right now. So i kinda did a half-a$$ workout today. Only did the first set of pushups because i was gathering a crowd and like dvg i dont like crowds watching me workout. skipped abs. On the plus side, i went out playing volleyball last night and got a good 1-2 hrs of exercise. Probably do it again in a few days. Downside was i ate at like 10pm last night (half hamburger and a salad).

core synergistics
weight: 288.2 lbs

so yesterday i couldn't get around to doing my workout so i did it today and im skipping yoga. I actually think i got more of a virus rather than food poisoning like i thought. Cause not only was my stomach unsettled all day and my frequent bathroom visits, but halfway through the day i got all icy cold and had to turn off all my fans and turn on all my lights and cuddle under my blanket for a few hours to warm back up. Also, i could only eat about half of all my meals throughout the day due to a suppressed appetite from whatever i had.

Todays workout wasn't the most awesome cause i still feel a little drained from whatever i had yesterday, but i was able to do about 2/3 of the workout before i was completely drained of power.

core synergistics (if i feel better later)
weight: 291.4 lbs

well, i feel like absolute crap this morning. I went out with my visiting friend last night, ate some japanese food kinda late again. And i think i got some food poisoning or something cause this morning i've been in the bathroom alot and i feel horrible. If i feel good later in the day i'll try to knock out this routine. If not, i'll do this routine instead of the yoga. Drop in weight is cool considering i ate out and didn't do anything today, but i think weight drop has more to do with my system being purged. So i'd expext the weight to go up a little as i start eating again today (if it doesn't come back up :-S)

day 53/90
stretch
weight after: 294.4 lbs

nothin new about stretchin. i think the added weight came from me going out to dinner with a friend i hadn't seen in almost a year. went to applebees and i couldn't find nothin that looked tasty on the low cal menu, and i didn't just wanna eat a salad. So i got the very tasty quesadilla burger. I only ate half and half the fries. Somewhere around 350 cal. But I also ate this really late which helped. Checking applebees nutrition later, like 150 of those cals were straight from fat ugghh...but it was good :D.

alright, so today i woke up on time and was ready to go but my comp is takin a crap on me so i cant get access to my videos. After i get home from school (where im writing this right now) i'll steal the videos my roomate is using or try to fix my comp (something like this has happened before). im posting this non-workout message so dvg doesn't freak out all day because i haven't posted early (so im not beings called 50 times while at school). I should re-update this with workout after i do it with my diet

edit:
alright, i just finished my workout. got my comp working again, and yes it was the same issue it's had in the past. i didn't completely finish legs/back today. skipped the last 5 exercises cause my back was starting to tweek out after carrying around a very heavy backpack all day, and then doing legs and back exercises. didn't wanna re-injure my back after getting it to almost normal conditions again. skipped abs all together.

so, today i woke up and wasn't really feeling up to doing yoga. Yesterday i was busy all day and today is shaping up the same way. got too much on my mind and cant get into the mindset required for yoga. so i didn't do too much before i stopped the tape. my weight increase i attribute to not sweatin some water off during yoga, as well as me eating my dinner VERY late last night because i was swamped all day and couldn't eat at my normal time.

weight after: 299.6 lbs

Yes, i have broken the 3 bill barrier mark. I'm so happy right now you dont even know. It's been a long time since i've ever thought i'd be able to stick to a workout program/diet long enough to pass this mark. I'd like to thank dvg-p90x for starting this competition with me and bringing out my competitive side for my best results and most determination. And also thanks goes to Tony Horton and the Beachbody team for such an awesome program.

As for the workout, i tore it up today. I was pumped and determined to try harder than ever before. This is in part due to dvg's google document to record my data and i didn't want to look like a slacker my first recording. I even attempted excercises i hadn't done much of in the past because they kicked my butt (chair dips, side tri rise, 1 arm pushups) and i did these exercises alot better than i thought i would. Every day i do the abs i see a greater improvement. the first time i tried it, the first 3 exercises killed me cause u had to hold ur posture up. Today i was reflecting on that and i cruise through those parts without any trouble holding my torso up. I think my assumption yesterday about not eating late is paying off. As yesterday i ate my dinner at 5pm and again i lost weight rather than packed it on while i slept with a late dinner. Im going to try to continue this to see if the trend stays alive.

weight after: 303.2 lbs

So i guess im still not dont adjusting, cause im still up and down like a roller coaster :P. I'll place some blame on me throwing my 2hr break between meals a little off course cause in the middle of the day i had a meeting that lasted almost 4hrs, so it made my last 3 meals really close together, and alot closer to bedtime than i like. I like to have atleast 2 hrs after my last meal before i go to sleep.

but the yoga went alot better than last week. I still skip the parts that i cannot get into the moves, but i'd say i participated in 80% of the video. Got a great sweat going. My back still has a few little twangs in a couple of the moves.

day 38/90
bicep, back, abs
weight after: 301.8 lbs

awesome, i lost some weight again and im consuming more calories. I've added another meal, lean cuisine style like dvg and threw in a granola bar on certain days to add to my fruit. Also, i've got some more variety in my fruit, so its not just peaches everyday. I think my body is starting to adjust to the higher calories again, cause like dvg even though im eating every 2hrs when im walkin to the kitchen, i feel the grumble (maybe its my stomach is linked to my brain and somehow knows food is coming lol). Also, i recalculated some of my older foods to try and get calories more exact rather than approximate numbers. Like i expected, my weight would bounce up a little after increasing caloric intake and now im hoping it continues down or atleast sticks to the same and doesn't jump up again.

I was rippin up the bicep exercises, lol, i actually broke one of the clips on one of my bands. Need to go buy a replacement. increased the weight on my pullups so im doing closer to 8 reps each time. For the abs, even though i still have some small back pains, i did almost all. Didn't do the last one, but all the others i either did 3/4 to all of the exercises.

day 37/90
plyometrics
weight after: 302.4 lbs

so today i woke up and my back isn't hurting nearly as bad as it was the last 2 days. I think my almost full day of rest helped it alot. But there was still a mild sting the whole time, and a sharper in certain posistions (marching with left leg out right arm up). To avoid reinjuring my back in such a high intensity workout, i didn't do much of the jump moves, if there was a jump i would spring up to my tip toes. And i would shuffle my feet rather than jump my feet on the switch stances. Even with these modifications, i still got an awesome workout. I was drenched by the end. Since, i'm trying to pull up my caloric intake like dvg-p90x's doctor suggested for optimum health, thats what i attribute my weight gain too. My body was probably in a quasi starving mode, thats probably why i wasn't that hungry even though i was consuming so few calories. Yesterday I ate my 5 meals and felt stuffed all day. But, im not worried about small weight gains right now. What i care about is health, and how i look when im done, weight is not an issue for me. If im 300 lbs when i finish but am loaded with muscle and not too much body fat i'll still feel just as successful as if i end being 260 lbs with less muscle and not much body fat.

so yesterday halfway through the day, i got this pain in the lower right portion of my back. as the day went on it intensified to where i had to take pain medication cause i couldn't bend over or reach out in front of me. I dont know how i got this knot like feeling, all i did was stretch yesterday.

So, i was hoping a good nights rest would aleviate the problem. I woke up and felt good, but within 5 min of walking around and starting the routine. The pain came back even worse, now it feels like a knife is in my back and everytime i take a step a pain shoots through my back). I didn't get far into the routine before i had to stop to sit down/lay down to relieve the pain. Today I have to take off from school, (bad that im missing team meeting with company, but im missing 1 class that doesn't hold session very often cause its just a guide class for senior design). I need to get my rest so i can get back on track for tomorrow if I want any success at plyo and gettin back to school

back bicep
weight after: 302.4 lbs

im actually fine with the lack of weight loss considering i had such a big dinner last night, and generally you will hold that weight for a couple of days (thats how long it takes to pass). So i expect to start losing again tomorrow. this was a pretty awesome workout also. my biceps were feelin the burn really early. i also made a change this workout. i used to do the pullups with the bands attached to a hook in the wall. but since my room isn't big enough, its not challenging anymore. So i started using my bench/weight set. Which has a pullup attachment (lat tower whatever) that i can use and ramp up the weight as i get stronger. I have about 260 lbs of plate weights, its just a matter of if the tower can handle that much weight...lol.

30 day results

2008-02-22T07:26:00.003-07:00

from my pictures i have my shirt tucked in tight so you can see the outline of my body. I also wore the same clothes so there is no variation. From the front, my stomach and chest have the same general outline....just less volume so its smaller. you can also see that my arms hang more vertically than they hung before because my stomach overhang on my sides isn't nearly as dramatic. from the side view you can see that my stomach overhang has lifted up and no long points south and has shrunk in size. you can see that my stomach has flattened out more so im not as thick as i was before. you can also see on my arms, there was a fat roll poised to roll over my elbow which is dang near completely gone. you can see more fore arm is more defined and less smooth from elbow to wrist. i dont have that bubble butt anymore. and my back is flatter without some of the back fat.

chest, shoulder, triceps
weight after 303.4 lbs

this was a great workout. i've been looking forward to a workout that just burns your arms to a crisp. i know we had chest and shoulder earlier, but like they said, it was mainly chest and shoulders. I loved how at the end of this, my arms were so tired i could barely reach em up above my head to do the cooldown stretches. AWESOME!!!! now im looking forward to the bicep one in 2 days.

oh, and for anyone interested, my omeletes are actually looking like omeletes now rather than a mix of eggs/veggies/meat. the problem was the skillet i was using before was all metal with no nonstick surface so i picked up a new skillet with a tephlon coat so the eggs wont stick and can actually fold and slide off the pan

So today i rearranged some of the furniture in my room to be able to do some of the moves in this routine. I got a much better workout than last time cause i only skipped 3 routines compared to about half of em last time. This got me sweatin and breathin like a champ and the results showed in my poundage. skipped bow/boat, prison pushups, and dreya roll.

Day 23/90
core synergetics
weight after: 308.0 lbs

So I started this routine without knowing really what to expect besides dvg's vague descriptions. And throught the routine it was kind of a half effort on my part as a whole because they had so many workouts that either required alot of "real" pushups (which i attempted while on knees) or that you had to roll around on the ground....(which i have kind of a "S" shaped workout area in my room, so rolling isn't very possible, I may rearrange some furniture to allow limited rolling for next time...lol). Anyways, i got an okay workout, i had sweat beads and some sweat drips. Afterwards mainly my legs felt the burn due to being able to participate in all those exercises.

Day 22/90
Yoga
Weight after 308.6 lbs

So today was full of turmoil throwin my routine in a loop. I woke up my usual time 5am this morning but not to jump right into my exercises. I had to finish a bunch of drawings for my senior design that my teamate was picking up at 8am. After that, i had to go to the store cause i had no more cereal and thus enabled the perfect time to start making my omlette i've been craving. After my workout I made my 1st omlette ever and it wouldn't of won any beauty contests but it tasted good. Tomorrow get no bologna and less eggs (bologna in omlette not as good as i thought it might be and 3 jumbo eggs was too much...lol). Lol...the top looked like a mess of eggs instead of a crisp fold over and the stuffin wasn't really stuffing but just filling spilling out all over the place.

But too my workout. I decided I should put more effort into this routine even though I hate it so dearly. And i gotta say, puttin that extra effort in goes miles. My head was drippin from about 10min in. There were so many times sweat was either in my eyes, or in my mount, or drippin off my nose onto the floor. Which just inspired me more. For the first half, (all the upper and downward dog) i did all the moves but the last 2 due to their advanced nature. And for the balance poses i did the first few, then skipped some advanced ones in the middle, then picked up with all the stretching. I did about 3/4 of the yoga abs 7 special.

Day 19/90
Legs, back, abs
Weight after: 311.2 lbs

Today I barely made it through the legs/back routine. Didn't even attemp the abs. Coming to the end of the legs/back i wasn't feeling so great and whats weird is this is the 1 week aniversary of the last time i felt bad after a routine. I think this has to do with not having the normal supply of mini breaks throughout the routine. Most of the routines have 30sec breaks after 3-4 exercises. This one has One 1min break right in the middle. I think this caused my heart rate to be elevated to high levels for the whole 50min workout causing me to feel really tired and not very well by the end of the routine. Anyways, i still got a good workout. lookin forward to kenpo

Day 17/90
Arms, Shoulders, Abs
Weight after 313.8

So my weight went up 1lb. I think that has to do with my late night dinner with the friends. Ate the footlong sub around 8:30 which is 2hrs later than i normally do. So i think i ended up carrying most of those calories to bed with me rather than burning em off while im still active. Anyways, no worries. Got an awesome workout today. Really pushed my arms and shoulders to the extreme. And I did atleast half the reps in abs on all the workouts and all of the reps on about 4-5 of them.

So, nothin much to say about routine, its all stretching. I almost got up into the vertical body stretch thing. An inch more and i would've had my balance over my neck. As for the weight thing, i know this workout isn't intensive. But I think dvg-p90x and I are experiencing that workout platuea. Unfortunately its seeming to happen too early :( cause i still got 2 more weeks before the routine changes. Anyways, i'll see how weight goes after tomorrow's more intensive workout.

Day 10/90
shoulders, arms, abs
Weight After: 319.0 lbs

Oh YEAH!!! Now thats extreme results. I've heard of routines that claim 10 pounds in 2 weeks to be awesome results. I've even been told my past workouts were crazy with 30lbs in 1 month. But holy cow, hitting 21 lbs in 10 days is EXTREME!!! And i LOVE P90X. Once i'm done with my 90 days these bad boy workouts aren't gonna collect dust. Pop these babies in whenever i need a pickme up :) .

Anyways, onto todays workout. Did full reps on everything but the tricep ground lifts and seat lifts. Put on some stronger bands than i used last week also. Arms are tired right now. Participated to almost a full extent in the ab workout. Just missed the last exercise, and parts of the balance on your butt while moving torso and legs at same time.

Plyometrics
Weight After: 320.8

Woot! this week got all the way through. A few sets i couldn't complete (mostly low squat to jump exercises). But I felt that i didn't have much trouble with the rest. Hung in, breathed hard, got it done, but yet again although im breathing i dont feel out of breath which is awesome! Sports routine in the end it a great way to end the whole routine cause its fun exercises :D. I dont think i'll be in a much soreness afterwards like last week, but i'll still take today slow since my muscles are spent.

Wooooohhh! Feel the burn baby. Get pumped. I rocked the crap outta this weeks workout. Did every set but the inclined pushups which i still feel i'll have trouble with, next week i'll take em on. I did all reps in each set exept some advanced pushups (aka diamond, under fence things). Feel good, got the heart rate up, the muscles burning, face sweatin, breathing. GREAT! Next was the abs. Did like 4/5 of the first 3 sets, then about 1/2 of the next four or so. Then skipped the vertical leg lifts. Then did all the obliques, and 4/5 of the leg climbers. Then skipped the crazy finale cause i was smoked. Until next time ab ripper, when i finally rip u a new one.

X Stretch
Weight After: 324.2

So this workout is an hour long worth of stretching. I basically seems like all the stretches used in all the previous videos all compilled into one big video and each stretch is held a little longer. Now its not all childs play, some stretches are very hard to do and i can't do them yet (like making ur body vertical while resting on your neck). But this video does also bring up a mild sweat. Getting prepped to restart all over again tomorrow.

Kenpo X
Weight After: 326.2 lbs

So, Kenpo X was the workout planned for today and I was gettin pumped for it after i heard dvg-p90x had fun with it. My workout schedule changed a little today as i had a last minute meeting with my group called for this morning at 6AM (i was told last night) and i had to meet group at 5:15AM to drive too meeting spot. So i pushed back my workout till i got back home since there is no way i can wake up at 3AM. After getting homed, started this badboy up and had a blast. Tony is right about this one flying by, total workout time is like 58min but it only seems like your doing it for 20min. My cardio has gotten SO MUCH better over the last week alone. I remember day 1 i was breathing hard the whole time time and couldn't do everything. Now my heart is pumping, im breathin alot, but im not feeling impared or out of breathe so I dont have to stop. Fun workout indeed. Tomorrow is my REST day but instead of being a slouch all day im gonna be doing that X Stretch video that you can do instead of resting. Im guessing its a little less intense? I guess i'll find out.

Put into Perspective

2008-01-28T07:17:00.000-07:00

To help convice myself to stick to my diet i've decided to compare my usual meals caloric intake to what my current caloric intakes are. I used to eat only about 2 meals a day. Usually 2 out of the following list of places per day:

Jack N the Box: Ultimate Combo Large size w/ DP + 2 Tacos ~ 2300 cal
Taco Bell: Spicy Crunchwrap Combo /pepsi + Taco + Beef Baja Chalupa ~ 1500 cal
Subway: 12" Chicken Bacon Ranch + Lrg Lemonade ~ 1200 cal
Panda Express: 2 Orange Chicken w/ half steamed rice, half chow meign ~ 1770 cal
Burger King: Wopper w/cheese meal King Size w/Coke ~1750 cal
Wing Stop: No official Answer, but they say 0 Carbs, and either no or low fat
Little Caesars Pizza: 14" peperoni ~2300 cal
Carl's Jr: Famous Star Meal Large Size w/Coke + Spicy Chicken ~2000 cal

So basically, on average my diet caloric intake per day is about 1/4 of the total caloric intake that i used to take prior to P90X + diet. So i'd say cuttin calorie intake + extreme workout = awesome weight loss results to come :)

Day 5/90
Legs, Back, abs
Weight after: 327.4 lbs

Woooh, this workout got my sweating like crazy. I was drippin from start to finish. I got all the way through legs/back on my first try :) with only short rest periods on a few of the exercises. The only exercise i couldn't really do was the 1 leg wall squat. I mean, comeon...holdin up a 320+ body with 1 leg is tough. But i'll get there is due time. Again with the ab ripper, i was pretty tired by the time this baby rolled on so for the first 4 or 5 parts i did most of the reps....then the next few i could only do a couple, then on the obliques i did almost all of them, then i was pooped and didn't attempt the crazy last exercise.

New Scale, New Weights

2008-01-27T18:30:00.000-07:00

Alright, so i think my other scale finally crapped out cause it was giving my weight ranges from 276-309 lbs. I assumed something like this may happen to my other scale because when I bought it, the box said it can only accurately measure up to 300 lbs, but it was all i had. And initially it giving my a 315lb weight seemed weird since 1.5 years earlier I went to the doctor and weighed 345lbs and in that time frame i did not exercise and i ate fast food almost everyday. So i decided to test my scale and picked up a 25lb weight and it came back error. So i then picked up a 10lb weight and it read 323lbs which is only 8lbs higher so i was sceptical of the readings and it must be reading light. So i should of either been about the same weight, maybe a little less, maybe a little more of my weight from 1.5 years ago.

So, today I went out and bought a Brand New scale. The box for this one says that it can accurately measure weight up to 400 lbs, with a 0.2 lb accuracy. So again i tested this scale using the previous methods, taking multiple weights of myself, then with a 10lb weight, and then with a 25lb weight. Here are my results:

Body Weight 1: 329.0 lbs
Body Weight 2: 329.0 lbs
Body Weight + 10lb weight: 338.8 lbs
Body Weight + 25lb weight: 353.8 lbs
Body Weight 3: 329.0 lbs

So basically, my test confirmed the accuracy of the scale to being within 0.2 lbs and so, from now on all weight messurements will be done on the new scale. All my previous weights should be disregarded since they were on an innacurate scale. Contest with DVG90X should be updated to new value. I dont know if you want to use my 329.0 lbs as my new base value or if you want a fluffed number of 340 lbs which is what i would guess that I weighed prior to starting this program since i feel lighter already and can see differences in my stomach every morning in the mirror :).

Day 4/90
Yoga
Weight after: ?? (my scale says i weight between 276 and 309 between different standings? I think its broken ROFL)

Okay, so this morning was yoga and its friggin long. The whole dog pose and pushups in the beginning for like 40min where killin me so I decided to do those with 1 knee down and still did the leg raises and swing unders. When we moved into warrior poses i stood back up. Surprisingly this routine gets you sweatin because you gotta hold ur body in weird angles. Some of these moves are way to advanced for me cause im not nearly as flexible as they are (put want hand behind your back and reach under your leg and grab your other hand?? wtf? more like scratch your lower back and the back of your leg at the same time LOL). Anyways I tried, and i like how this session ends with you just laying there in total relaxation.

2008-01-26T08:57:00.000-07:00

Day 3/90
Weight after: 309 lbs

So today was the arms, shoulders, abs routine. I rolled outta bed stiff with sore sides/backs or my arms so i was kinda dreading the arm routine when i was still stiff from the chest back routine. But after the initial warmup and stretch i was pretty lose and tore the whole workout up. The only two sets i had problems with where the Chair lift sequences where u hang off the chair and the lift your body with one arm while lying on the ground. All the other ones i completed. After this i started the ab routine for the 2nd time and decided i didn't wanna crap out like i did the first time so i paced myself. I didn't push to much and did about half of the reps for each exercise so that i was able to finish the whole routine. Now that i know what im in for i can do more each time I do this routine. Looking forward to another day of a stiff body. Also, i attribute my lack of weight loss to yesterday being friday in which i hang out with my friends and i ate a Footlong Sub and had Lemonade for dinner. Which is more than I planned on but atleast it wasn't complete junk food.

Day 2/90
Weight after: 309 lbs
Plyometrics

My legs are already not wanting to cooperate after doing this workout, on top of that, my arms and back are still sore from yesterday lol so that made the whole raise your arms sections more interesting. I didn't make it all the way through this week, got to the point were 17min were left on the tape. I watched the last two routines, first of which is the most intense looking of the program, followed by the fun filled sports routine which seems for lack of a better word fun. The rest of the day i look forward to leisurely paced walks too and from my classes, and getting up and sitting down very slowly in the desks.

Day 1/90
Chest and Back, Ab Ripper
After Workout Weight: 311 lbs (probably water weight)

So i got my copy of P90X yesterday so i started it today with the chest/back/ab workout. I haven't bought my resistance strap yet or pushup bars (doing that today). So for all the pull up portions i did the motions but didn't have any resistance. For the pushups i started normally but realized i would get burned way to fast an did all the rest of em with my knees on the ground. By the end, i was only able to do a couple pushups in each set before i was gassed. I made it through the whole video with mini breaks during each set since i couldn't do the whole time frame but i atleast tried everything. For the ab ripper, i made it about 4-5 minutes in before ejecting the tape (right after all the bicycle kick parts).
