Hey Chub*rock glad your first week is going well. I'm reading your log, I think it's a great way to keep each other honest. I plan on keeping a daily log as well. I have never been good at journals but I really want to make this work, so I'm going all the way.

Thanks for checking in medikman! I will keep an eye on you too, so we will both keep each other honest.

For anyone that is interested there is a great excel spread sheet by Kenny (thank you Kenny)
www.weightloss-hq.biz/weight-loss-forum/...el-spread-sheet.html

But I made printable documents (for CLASSIC phase 1) that I printed out and put in a little folder with my dvds. This way I can keep track of the weight and reps I do each day. I attached it just in case anyone would like to use it. I find it helpful!

Can you print without the black background? How do you change the format to do that?

Jon B...black background? Are you talking about the excel sheet? I have no idea how to change that. The document that I have is word and there shouldn't be a black background. I don't have one. Sorry I am not much of a computer person. SORRY!!!!

DAY 4: YOGA X

Today was my first day doing YOGA X! It's 90 mins long and I MADE it! I have to say it was a challenge and I have even taken yoga before. It was a little boring at times, but I know how good yoga is for the body/mind. The first 45 mins are much harder than the last 45 min. The last half is more floor work, abs, and stretching. I though the dvd overall was well done. I do have to say that I think it would be good to show people how to stretch with a yoga belt and some more modifications. That is what they do at the Yoga class I usually go to. But overall, it was great. I needed a day to stretch and I found it challenging (I was sweating during all those downward dogs!!!!!).

Eating is still going well. One of my favorites is to take nonfat plain organic yogurt and mix it with a scope of protein powder (either choc or strawberry). It's like pudding!!!!!

Looking forward to legs and back tomorrow...peace...

DAY 5 LEG and BACK plus AB RIPPER

Just finished Leg/back X and ab ripper. Thought it was another good work out. Made it through the whole dvd!!!! I like that they talk about alignment and watching your knee...that is huge for people! I did do my pause during pull ups and then TB while Tony does his (as I mentioned above on day one chest/back). I really like that...doing pull ups with the chair and TB...I feel more of a burn I did however add in some low back stuff at the end of the dvd just b/c again I don't think they really do much for that. Just my opinion. The same at the end of ab ripper. It's crucial for the low back to be worked as well so the core stays balanced.

Feeling a lil tired today...these dvds have been great and I am really proud of myself...it's the first week and I made it through all of them (so far)! But as I have said before I do work out a lot...but this...this I really feel. Plus, I really like their diet. It has been pretty easy for me to follow. The hard part will be this weekend and making sure I don't drink too much:woohoo:

****As a side note, if you are using my work out forms I made in word I have attached...the leg/back one is missing few exercises. I wrote it based off the book...did not watch the dvd first...and I guess I missed a few. But there is plenty of space at the bottom to write in the few I missed. SORRY about that!

Enjoy your weekend everyone! Peace...
