I love taking the kids to the park and pumping out like 30 pullups on the monkey bars all nonchalantly. When I am done, all the soccer moms wiping the drool off... I am starting to get used to the attention!!

I can see the light!!! Shoulders and arms today. I think I am coming down with a little cold. My throat was a bit sore and I felt like I was working in Jell-O today. BUT..... I completed and my numbers were very respectable. Right in the zone from 2 weeks ago!!

Plyo yesterday was like butter. I love that workout. I looked like I went swimming as my shirt was sopping wet!!

Looks like I am going to be 1 recovery week short of my 90 days before vegas. But I can certainly do my recovery workouts out there.

I am no psyched that I am almost through the first round!!!

The good news... I don;t have a cold. The bad news... The throat irritation was due to a ton of smoke from wildfires funning through south Florida!!

Yoga this morning went without a hitch. I was a bit tight at first, but as I settled in, i was fine. Balance postures tonight.

Last night I did Ab ripper to finish up for the day and I was able to complete including Mason twists!! I did 35, then rested 10 secs and completed 20 more for a 55 total. Not 50 in a row, but getting there!!

The goal line is fast approaching... I can almost taste the Victory Recovery Drink!!

We see you brethren. keep coming and beware of the side road hurdle namely ice cream, TV, the snooze button and others. One of them (ice cream) got me yesterday at the gas station.

you're doing great.

Kempo... Week 11.... That officially puts week 11 in the books!!!

I think I am going to skip the rest day this week so I can dive into week 12 and complete the week on Wednesday... The day we leave for Vegas!!! I can do recovery week there at the hotel as there are no weights involved, just myself and my DVD's.

I am hoping to work on the super cardio sequence and spreadsheets on the plane. I am sure I will be able to use Kenny's to modify and then post when it looks good.

The gates are before me!!!

keep it up man. nice job, very impressive.

i am starting on monday, i hope i am as successful and committed as you

Races (and battles) are usually won in the end. The fighter with that little bit extra in the tank reaches deep within and takes advantage of his opponents fatigue and willingness to quit.

Week 12 begins today!! The final round (of this go around). I asked myself before I started if I woudl have enough in the tank to whip this. And I said yes!!! I have made it to the stretch...

Back, Shoulders, and tri's today!!! I kept the rep numbers blind today and only referenced my previous weights. Then I upped all of them 5#. Guess what??? I exceeded my reps every time as well as my previous weights. Try it sometime.. I gotta say that I have not been this worked since week 1 of phase 1 and 2!!!

Commin' to get you Addict!!! And I am gathering an army for round 2!!

I've gotta tell you... The phase 2 sequence is a KILLA'!!! Chest, back and tri's, followed by Plyo, then followed by Back and bi's..

I can barely move my arms this morning!!!

All of you in phase 1, be ready to bring it in phase 2!!

Finishing strong. Nice stretchy Yoga tomorrow, then I will double legs and Kempo to finish on Wednesday and back the rest day..

GOIN' to VEGAS BABY!!

The sweet feeling of finishing the workout. You know, when you complete the last exercise and all you have left is the cool down...

Well brothers (and sisters), that time is upon me. I imagine that I will spend this Final Stretch week reflecting on all of the hard work and sweat. I will be preparing for the next 90 day phase of my fitness.

Keep your eyes out for P90X - Cardio Edition. Now that I have put on the mass I want, I am going to target the Abs and slimming down. My body tends to put on mass when lifting. Plyo 2X/week, Cardio 2X week + Abs, Core, and Kenpo + Abs.

Thanks everyone for your support!

WTG it's always good to hear positive stories from people who have finished the program and are excited to start it up again.

VEGAS Update!!!
We just got back this morning!!! What an awesome time. All I can say is I thanked Tony Horton in my wedding toast!!

When I showed up to the Cheesy Elvis Chapel, I was supposed to have a black Elvis suit. It was white!!! My wife woudl have freaked because our colors were black and red. Anyway, the dude sized me up a bit and ran in with one of the impersonator suits. Let me tell you, this was not FAT/OLD bloated Elvis. This dude was Blue Hawaii, Elvis. That suit fit me like a glove! Without Tony and P90X, no way, I woudl have been screwed to say the least!!

I came out, looking awesome and my wife said I looked like totally buffed out in it.

Also, to go to Vegas, no real time to dedicate to exercise, and only go up 2# in a week!!! Testament to thinking about all of the hard work to get me here in the past 90 days. My 90th day is this Thursday! I am planning doubles the rest of the week to catch all of the 90 days then on to the new modified plan to slim down more!

Here is the link to the video, the quality kind of blows as it is a web cam, but it is fun to see. Highly recommend this chapel, if you want to do something really cool and fun to rededicate your vows.

Addict, start the presses, here I come down the final mile to the gates!!! The gates of Sparta (and Graceland)!!

I could not haev done it without y'all!!

Thank you, thank you very much!

Back with a vengeance...

To settle back in, I busted out CardioX this AM. IT is my final recovery week, but I have been off for 3 days. tonight I will do either Core or Plyo depending on what I come back to at work. Only 2 more days remain in this cycle!!

Core this morning. Core is funny in that I don't feel like I am doing much during the workout, but when it is over, I am soaked. It is kind of like Yoga in many ways to me...

Bottom line, this morning, my Core band is feeling like I worked it pretty good, and I feel great!!

T-1 day to go!! Tomorrow is Yoga. Day 89 in the books!!

I see you

don't wait in line at the gate of Sparta just do 15 wide front pull ups and you will be shown to the special door of Arcadians

Tick tock... 1/2 of Yoga in the books early this AM... Will do the balance postures after work tonight!!!

For day 91, I think I will do Plyo (or CardioX), just because I can.

DONE!!!! Graduation Day!!!

For kicks I did CardioX this morning to make up for the Yoga day I missed earlier in the week. I did not want to do Yoga 2 days in a row...

CONGRATS on GRADUATION DAY WELL DONE!

Awesome--Way to go!!

So we gonna get some before and after pics soon?
