Day 49... Kenpo day but I did super cardio(Tony Horton One On One) instead just for something different. Also rode my bicycle 12 miles but more of a fun ride than exercise style. Good day though

Day 50... Recovery week. Supposed to be Yoga yesterday but I had am in the middle of remodeling my daughters bedroom and we needed to finish(did not get done but close) so I decided to miss a day this week to have some extra work time. I hate doing that but life happens I may try to make it up later in the week but for today I am going on with normal schedule which will be core synergistics.

Day 51... Core Synergistics last night... It is an awesome workout. How can you not feel good after doing core syn. It is going to be a long day today before I get to my workout. Teach all day. Parent teacher conferenced tonight and finally get home to workout. repeat tomorrow. Man am I going to be tired.

Day 52.. TIRED thats what I was by the time I did my workout last night. But put Kenpo Plus in pushed play and by the time the warm up was over my mind was right and my body followed. Good workout. It will be the same tonight parent teacher conferences and workout after. I am going to sub Yoga for x-stretch tonight. Recovery week its a beautiful thing..

Just read your thread for the first time. Good stuff, man. I am also 35, though I am only on my second round of P90X (have also done half a round of Insanity in between). I am into Phase 3 now, so likely will be starting up my own Round 3 thread in another month.

Keep up the great work and keep posting. You feeling any mental burnout from doing it 3 times now?

Thanks Rick there have been a few times that I have been burned out a little but I have stayed pretty motivated. The part that has been the hardest to keep up on is eating. I have not seen the ultimate result I want(truly ripped abs) because I cannot be strict with my nutrition. In my first round it was easy but I saw gains every week. Now I do not see gains often and so it is hard to keep eating right. I have not lost any weight since the middle of my second round.(dont really need to lose much but I still have a little fat covering my lower abs). That part has been elusive and I know it is simply getting on track and strict with nutrition that will help me get there. I do like to mix up workouts now I have a lot of the one on one workouts and the plus series so that keeps things from getting old. I also have my wife working out with me and son who has started working out with me that helps A lot. At the end of this round I plan on taking a short break and then following schedule up until Christmas when I will be going snow skiing. After that I will do a maintenance type program(4-5 workouts a week) until I do another round to be ready for the lake next summer. Honestly I love the workouts and I hope to always continue doing some kind of workout like this but I think I will always struggle with eating right even after I quit tracking everything because I love to eat. Good luck in your journey Rick Do you have a log? I like seeing how others that are similar to my age etc have done it really helps motivate me its fun knowing your not the only one out there working hard.

Great info, it's good to know I am not the only one struggling with it mentally. Good tips on using one-on-one and p90x+ vids to change things up a bit. I will definitely look into that. Any suggestions on specific ones to look out for?

As for my log, I am guilty of not maintaining it very often. I post maybe once a week and sometimes miss an entire week. I should go post something!
