Last night was the rest day for P90X, we start again tonight.

One side note I was reading last months Men’s Health and one of the stories was about a man who lost mad weight and he made a good point. If you know you are going to work everyday why not just make going to the gym in the AM part of you work day? I think that is why I never miss a gym day Monday – Friday. I really have momentum now and believe me I know how easy that can change. ijs

Next week here is what I will change:
focus on eating right.

P.S. I lost 2 ½ pounds this week and I just had 2 slices of pizza :( I need better eating habits.

Here is a tip I got from a fellow blogger:
http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2009/10/top-10-weight-loss-tips.html

Stop Your Bad Eating Habits A Little At A Time


Sixty to 70% of the success or failure of your weight loss program will be due to what you eat. If you are having trouble changing your bad eating habits, try this trick. Give up one bad eating habit a week. You could start with cutting excess sugar from your diet. For example, replace sodas and sugary fruit drinks with water and unsweetened tea. This method will make your diet changes more practical and less overwhelming.

Thursday's Workout 1/28

So last night i did some more P90X and this morning my body was super sore in places I never knew you could be sore in..... I do love doing the Froggy move ;)

The roads were really bad this morning so I took my time on the road...even though i did 360 spin out on Rt 22 :)

At the Gym I really just went on the treadmill for about 40 mins, I did work up a sweat but not good enough.

I think tonight is my rest day for P90X (but i might still do the froggy move!) I plan on hitting the gym hard tommorow.

That's whats up! Thanks for all the cool feedback and emails...man my followers list is really growing...exactly!

Mondays Workout 1/25

WOW! Mondays are always tough but today was the toughest.

I workout the overnight on Sat. 1/23 and didn't get much sleep, I was feeling it in the gym. I read a few magazines this weekend and 1 point they all made was to always keep your muscle guessing. Its like medication if you keep taking the same medicine everyday your body gets used to it. Same goes with your muscles which now I am trying new exercises and doing a Need exercise and a Rep exercise.

Need exercise is a set of heavy weight at 8 reps.
Rep Exercise is a set of lighter weight at 20 reps.

My Workout
I arrived at 7:15am---Called wrk and told them I would be late :)
I Didn't have much time so right away got on the T-Mill and did 5 min warm up.

Bench Press : Need - 315lbs 8 Reps
30 sec. rest
Seated Chest Flys: Rep- 100lbs 20 Reps Note: I felt like I could have gone a little heavier with 20 reps.
30 sec. rest
Lat Pulldown: Need - 180 lbs 8 Reps
30 sec rest
Dumbell Row: Rep - 40 lb (Dumbell) 20 Reps
30 sec rest
Shoulder Press on the ISO Machine Need - 140 lbs 8 Reps
30 sec rest
Behind the back side raises Rep - 60 lbs 20 Reps
30 sec rest
Bicep Curls Need - 100lbs 8 Reps
30 sec rest
Hammer Curls - Rep - 30 lbs 20 reps
30 sec rest
I threw in a extra exerice for the biceps:
1 arm curls 45 lbs 10 reps
30 sec rest
Tricep pulldown Need - 100lbs 8 Reps

DONE! One thing I noticed I was extra sweaty today..could be it was 60 Degrees at 7 am?

To finish I ran on the treadmill for 10 Mins on intervals.

So far I have lost 55 lbs in a little over 1 year, I dont want to hit the peak yet so I will keep changing my workout everyday.

I think tommorow I will change to jump rope and try the mile run again.

A good friend told me once ..........NTAGATF
