I haven't be posting on my log. because I haven't been on point.

DAy 73: Rest day
I skipped Monday because my wife was going out of town.
that night I decided to make monday my rest day ( i did have a great plyo day ,the day before)

Day 74: Shoulder and Arms
I didn't go to the gym in the morning, but I knocked it out somewhat exhaustively, actually I didn't do the last 3 exercises.

Day 75: Yoga
again I skipped the morning session postponing it to the evening. I decided to do Plyo but when I got to the gym I remembered that the following day will be Legs day so I wasn't in the YOGA state of mind, so I got on the treadmill for an semi intense 1 mile run and went back to my book.

today is Day 76: Leg and Backs:
the boss is back so I have to have a good report, to get her back in the groove of things.

Day 77

instead of Kenpo i got on the treadmill.
Can't wait til tomorrow, I need a fresh start.

Week 12 Day 1
Day 78
Chest Shoulders and Triceps

oh yeah I got my ass kicked. unfortunately i didn't complete the whole workout I had to take my car in for service.
but my Ab ripper session was excellent, I paced myself by doing the workout from memory so i wouldn't have to listen to tony's count.
I even did the mason twist including the bonus and I wasn't in total pain.

Week 12 Day 2
Day 79
Plyo

I did my usual full force full throttle Plyo workout. that made up for the prior day getting cut short.

Week 12 Day 3
Day 80

Back and Biceps

today was a good day at the gym.
I got there this evening the place was wide open all doors all windows, kids playing b-ball outside. Plus I was greeted by Rage Against the machine (the Battle of LA)
I killed in Ab Ripper, i didn't go at a constant pace but i didn't get my ass kicked (so young'n you've got that to look forward to)

my workout was the best ever. after doing some reading yesterday in regard to my Post P90X journey I decided to go for muscle endurance. so I'll have to lower my reps, which in turn means up my weights.
I usually increase my weight by five each workout by while looking for the burn i had to increase them by at least 15 in average.
when i got to the strip set I was just dead. so I started with my usual 30 but with good form.

today was a good day at the gym.

Awesome Man!

Hope today was a great day at the gym too! Day 90 is just around the corner!! Push to the end as hard as you can!

Bring It!

Thank you

Day 81
another Yoga day gone by the way side, a not so good day.

I had good intentions, I decided that I was going to do yoga in the basement after work because I'm trying to move my gym downstairs, as opposed to the gym or my weight room upstairs.
with that mindset, I got home got off my bike, tripped the alarm for going in the wrong door, stripped off my riding gear in the office and sat down to unwind (50 miles on a cruiser is workout believe me). after taking too long to start my workout, I decided it was time to get my yoga in so I could eat at a decent time.
I went in the gym upstairs to change into my workout gear and grab the YOGA dvd, the matt and the block. I went all the way to the basement and remembered that the dvd player that is assigned to the tv downstairs is in the gym, sitting next to the TV. so i ran up 2 flight and grab the dvd player but couldn't find the remote but with time going by I decided to go without.
I made it back to the basement, now this dvd player is also a vcr player i couldn't find the cable which connect the player to the TV so 2 flights up I go again, of course I have to run because I'm a world class athlete, so I find the cable behind the tv in the gym and make my way back to the basement. I get there I make the necessary connection i start the player. now the frustration begins

the dvd tray won't eject. so after a series of switching between the vcr adn dvd I finally get it to open.
the dvd is in but the player is not able read it. I figured, well the dvd was collecting dust on the tv upstairs and even though I wiped it before inserting it in the player i pull it out and give it another clean but no go. then I remembered why I had to go by a cheap dvd player at walmart and it was because this thing started acting up. at this point it's almost 8pm, I grabbed my wallet my water, I strapped on my Ipod and jumped on my motorcycle and off to the gym i went. I got there I got on a treadmill for a 2.5 miles run. effectively putting day 81 in the books not by the book since i didn't do Yoga but in the books nonetheless for burning calories and sweating out. I ran with great intensity, and that felt good.

Break some thing! *smashes bricks with face* I'm kidding by the way.... I'd like to see future post from you

Day 82 Legs and Back

After yesterdays fiasco, I knew I had to make it to gym at 5:30 to redeem myself, plus I'll get to see my mother in law and say bye since we're traveling this weekend. Ab Ripper went smoothly I even did some hips flexors instead of the heels to the sky. after my 50 mason twists the grunt was minimal.

I went buckwild with the leg workout upping my weight where possible but overall Kicking ass. I even went as wide as possible in my wide pull up and I must say I looked good

Day 83.

Kenpo Karate.

I went in the gym this morning and closed the chapter on this journey.
I know I have my recovery week to go and no I won't go through the motions of being in the gym.

and it is a tough time for me because I haven't made up my mind I'm getting P90x Plus but I leading toward a freestyle session before getting back on the program.
tba

I had to travel so my rest day came at the great time.
gave me time to pack in the morning before going to work, there's a whole story/history behind this.

Day 85

I woke up in Temple Hills MD on saturday, I decided that I would go for a run since i don't have access to a gym and my sister's apartment is not suited for Yoga nor did I wanted to do Yoga. my sister tells me of this park with a walking/running trail "a mile" away. so I enlist my nephew as my guide. he suggests that I drive but I'm thinking a mile away that should take us about 20 minutes to get if we walk with a purpose.
10 minutes into the walk, I decide to set my heart rate monitor to see how many calories I will burn.
an hour later we arrive at the park, (we should have driven, I know)
I haven't ran outdoors for quite some time so that felt good. I run for 35 min, then we had to walk back, yes another hour.
all in all I burn ~1762 calories.

Day 86

went back to park by car, thank you very much.
ran for 40 min for a mere 658 cal burnt.

Day 87

After 2 days of intense running, I decided to make today a rest day

Day 88

I decided to forgo the X stretch day, and instead go for another day of running, with the nice weather I decided to run to the gym and do the cardio circuit and then run back home.


Day 89

I was battered by all the running so I made Core Synergistic Day to another Rest Day.

I signed up with a new gym.



Day 90
the last official day of P90x,
I went to my new gym I got there before 6 am and the place had a lot of people there that early.
the weights area had a lot people but I think I can make my way through it by next week.

Instead of Yoga I did a session on the treadmill at my new gym

Thus end my 90 days of self discovery.

Thank you
