Congrats on finishing your second week!

Thanks Blakjak!

Day 15 - Chest and Back

Weight - 228 - Lost 5 Pounds This week (9 total so far)

The workout was still tough but I think I am improving. Just feel a little silly doing pull ups on a chair. Still cant do more than one.

ABX was tough today and I didnt see improvement but my stomach hurts which is a good thing.

I think some of these protein bars are killing my 50/30/20 Ratio. These bars have alot of damn carbs!!!

I saw some improvement but not much

Day 16 - Pylo

Pylo went pretty smooth today. I still have trouble doing hot feet and jumping squats, but I sweated intensively.

My diet on the other hand was a little rough. Office ordered chinese food so I went with Steamed Chicken and Eggplant with Sauce on side w/Brown Rice. Here is where it went bad. The meal came with soup and I ordered Hot and Sour Soup. I didnt know it had 500 calories and 30g fat. I had to eat less for dinner because of it.....

Making Protein Pancakes this weekend. Can't wait!!!

Day 17 - Arms and Shoulders

I overslept this morning and had to do my workout in the afternoon. I really don't like drinking the recovery drink that late in my day.

I did have a lot more energy, but I will still continue to do my workouts in the morning. Can't wait for Yoga first thing in the morning. I need it for a calm day.

Day 18 - Yoga

Man. I really didn't want to get out of bed to do Yoga this morning, but MAN was it worth it!!!!!!

I felt great today and during Yoga, the only things I cannot do is the crane and plow. I can hold my balance. I also still cant touch my toes on most of the moves BUT I FEEL IT!!!!!! Belly 7 is also tough.

Today my diet was looking real good, thennn I made some homemade spicy turkey chili, which I probably ate to much of because I feel way to full!!! (PROBABLY THE FULLEST SINCE I STARTED MY JOURNEY). My stomach is killing me!!!

I always seem to hate having to do Yoga too before I start, but once I get into it I always enjoy it.

Blakjak - Some reason I still am not looking forward to Yoga next week but I am sure I'll enjoy it.

This weekend was pretty rough on the diet. I knew getting into this, I would drink a little. I ended up drinking all three days of the weekend Oh well, I had fun!

Day 19 Legs and Back

Good workout. Legs are pretty sore this weekend, especially shins.

Day 20 - Rest (Instead of Kenpo)

I was pretty hungover and had no energy for a workout. Decided to take my rest day early this weekend. Should of stretched out.

I ate pretty good for being hungover. At least I compensated...I guess.

Day 21 - Kenpo

The stretches b4 Kenpo are extremely tough for me. I still through punches like Muhammad Ali.

Ok. Ok. Buffalo Wings and Beer is not good for you. This will be the last time this happens. Haha.

Day 22 - Yoga

Wow. I really am starting to enjoy yoga. I was finally able to plow (thats what she said) and I cracked my back on the exercise tony is asking for a back crack. I sweated and feel relaxed. Cant wait to do it again Saturday.

Day 23 - Core Synergistics

Man. Now that was a tough workout. I couldn't keep up on some exercises, specially Dreya exercises. Shes a beast.

My whole core and sides were hurting from Yoga. Now my whole body is soar.

Another good deal for the Diet. Ratio could of been better.

Day 24 - Kenpo

Thank god its Kenpo. I am pretty good at it except for Star Blocks.

Feel good. Went to GNC and found a 4:1 Recovery drink for 28 bucks. Same facts as p90x one. I think it was called axcellerade.

Starting to feel really good.

Might have a couple vodkas tonight if I go out...Not sure yet. Might take it easy because of Turkey Day tomorrow...

I don't use the P90X recovery drinks either. If you can find/create a similar formula yourself, it's probably cheaper for the same product basically.

Blakjak - I think I'm going to order another case of p90x recovery drink.

It taste awesome. Like an Orange Julius OR creamsicle. The others got bad reviews on taste compared to the P90x brand.

Day 25 - X Stretch

I ended up playing flag football in the morning with a bunch of friends from high school.

I got home and did X-Stretch right before going to Thanksgiving Dinner.

I tried to eat well, but I did end up eating some bad appetizers, sides and desserts. I still stayed under 3000 calories and worked out twice.

Day 26 - Core Synth

I showed improvement in these exercises. Felt Great!!

Went to Atlantic City that night and ended up eating at the Buffet at 9pm. I ate mostly proteins and veggies. I cheated by eating 2 pieces of Spicy Tuna (couldn't resist), which definitely put me over my carb servings.

Day 27 Day 28 - Rest, Rest (Skipped Yoga)

It was tough for me to do Yoga in my hotel room Saturday, so I decided that I would do it Sunday when I got home. I ended up eating pretty well Saturday. I was able to get a egg white omlete for breakfast, shrimp cocktail for lunch and some Chicken and Rice for dinner. I only ate three meals, and was real hungry between because of it. Hopefully it didnt hurt my metabolism. I went out to the clubs that night and probably had 8-10 servings of vodka. I didnt get much sleep, but at least I didnt cheat late at night.

Sunday I ate the breakfast buffet and managed again to get an egg white omlete. I also got turkey bacon, yogurt, granola and smoked salmon. I didn't eat again for another 5-6 hrs till I got home. I was able to eat 2 meals at home, making a total of 3 meals. Again, I hope it doesnt hurt my metabolism. I ended up being wiped out that night and had no energy to do Yoga. Good thing I danced all night and probably burned the same amount of calories as YogaX. Still, I would of liked to get Yoga in. It always fixes all my pains.

Day 29 - Chest, Shoulders and Tri

Starting Weight 237
Day 8 - 232
Day 15 - 227
Day 22 - 227
Day 29 - 223

It felt like day 1 again today. I couldnt get max reps out of my exercises and could barely do the 1 handed push ups. I did them on my knees and my back cracked alot. Back hurt alot all day today for some reason. Probably cause I didnt get my Yoga in.

Ate Great Today. Good To Be Home. Makes Dieting Alot Easier.

Hit 50 30 20 with 1800 Calories. Looking forward to a healthy week.

Looks like you didn't get too far off track on Thanksgiving. It can be tough to get a workout in, and I missed Thanksgiving too. The important thing I think is that you do your best and get back on track the next day.

Day 30 - Pylo

I really don't mind Pylo. I'm exhausted half the time but I can pretty much keep up with Tony. The only things I'm bad at is the knee jumps.

The middle of my back in hurting a lot, especially when I back up my car. I also have Achilles pain in my left ankle (When I do the hamstring stretch with my left foot in front of my right) and some pain in my right toe when using a chair to assist pull ups. Kinda Weird.

Ate pretty good with a 45, 37, 17 Ratio and 1850 Calories

Day 31 - Back and Biceps

I really hate pull ups. I still cant do one (because I am scared I will rip my door down. I use the seat of the chair instead of the top of it since my bar is not real high up like Tonys. By the end of the exercise, I thought my BIs were gonna explode. It is a short workout, but a tough one.

I ate pretty good with a 50, 35, 15 Ratio and 2000 Calories. Some new additions to the diet have been...light egg nog, pickles and Ostrim. Ostrim is a good substitute for turkey jerky. It might be healthier. I found it in GNC and I can't find Turkey Jerky anywhere. Its like a healthy Slim Jim (haha). I also have been blending my p90x recovery drink with ice. It taste so good...like a frozen orange dream. My favorite meal of the deal. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONE. LOL

Here are my 30 Day Pics

Quite an improvement for one month. It's always satisfying to see your pics and the visible progress you have made, and I hear seeing the second month pics is even more satisfying than the first.

Day 32 Yoga

My Bi's were killing me after that Bi/Back workout. Boy is that intense on your arms. They hurt till about Saturday. I think I got some extra bulge coming out of my biceps now when I flex. LOL

Yoga went well and I really like the change of pace. It is so relaxing and challenging at the same time. I remember my first day of Yoga when I couldnt even do a Warrior 1. LOL. Now I almost have the crain and could plow pretty decently.

I ate well Thursday, going with 2050 Cals and a 47/36/16 Ratio.

Day 33 Legs and Back

My arms were still hurting and I felt like I was coming down with a cold. I did my workout and definitely felt it in my legs the next day.

Went out for dinner and drank all night so my diet wasn't the greatest. I had 2275 Cals with a 45 35 20 Ratio.

Day 34 + 35 Rest and Kenpo

I was pretty hungover Saturday and my cold/flu came into full effect, so I decided to take my rest day early. I woke up today and felt even more sick but I didnt want to skip another day so I did Kenpo. I struggled because I didnt have much energy and I didn't sweat as much as I do, but I still did my best and forgot the rest.

Saturday, I didnt go out drinking so my diet looked good. I dont think I ate alot because of the flu. I had 1360 cals with a 37/42/21 Ratio. I think I went a little carb heavy because I didnt feel good.

Today (Sunday) I ate better with 1950 cals with a 45/41/14 ratio.

I weigh in tomorrow. I was at 223 last week. I think I should be around 220 (Hoping for under 220). We shall see.....

Hope you feel better so you can give it your best.
