Week 11 Yoga

Just got done with Yoga and I could tell that I haven't did it in 2 weeks. It was really hard and I was feeling it everywhere. I toughed through it and it felt great. My flexibility is doing great too. At the start of the program I could only get to about 6 inches to my toes. Now I can hold the Yoga block against my foot and reach and hold onto that. That is about 2-3 inches past my foot. Like a 9 inch improvement.

Arms/Shoulders Week 11

Just finished up. That is a good workout but it really is just for Shoulder, Bis and Tris. It isn't like the legs and back workout where I also get in a cardio workout. But I feel the pump and I will be sore for sure tomorrow. I am just doing my Abs routine on cardio days this week so I don't work them back to back. So that means tomorrow will suck cause I have Yoga and in Yoga there is something called Yoga Belly 7. It is a ab routine. It is at the end of Yoga. Then I will crush Ab Ripper and again use the weights on my chest. That should get the burn going.

Plyo And Ab Ripper Week 11

Just finished Plyo and proud to say I completed it 100% and kept up with those in the DVD. I am f-ing dead. Then I had to do Ab Ripper to make up for yesterday. Then I got a wild hair up my butt and decided to add weight to my ab routine. I added 10 lbs to 4 of the 11 exercises by holding a 7.5 lbs plate and a 2 foot chain on my chest. I will have to get some ankle weights to wear for the rest of the exercises.

Woke up today at an all time low. Down to 206.6. That is a 20 lbs weight loss so far. I am pretty pumped. Hopefully it keeps falling off and I hit 200 by the end.

Week 11 Chest/Back

Just finished the workout and I am dead. Everytime I do that workout I can barely do the cooldown at the end cause my upper body is so exhausted. I did develop a bad headache at the end of the workout so I didn't do ab ripper. I will do it tomorrow after Plyo.

Also I started the higher carb diet and lowered the calories just to change it up for the last 3 weeks. I will use this diet for the whole next round anyway cause iI don't want to damage the kidneys. Need to hit up the recovery drink. I have this 15 minutes after every weight lifting workout and the really hard workouts like Plyo. Here is it if you are interested.

Glass of water.
1 scoop of powered Orange Gatorage
1/2 scoop of powered Tang (yup ripping it old school)
And 1/2 scoop of Chocolate whey protein

The scoop for the orange stuffs I use the one that comes in the Gatorade
And the scoop for the protein comes in the protein

This combination gives a 4 grams of carbs to 1 gram of protein ratio and is the current standard for energy replacement

Kenpo and End of Week 10

Just finished Kenpo. I am sweating my butt off. I only have three weeks left till the end of Round 1 of P90X. Then I will start up another with a friend of mine about a week after that. That will be sweet. Will be nice to have someone next to you most days pushing yourself harder.

I think I am going to switch up the diet the last three weeks. Going to drop calories a couple hundred and add some carbs. It is the second phase nutrition program. The %'s are 40% carbs, 40% protien, and 20% fat. So I will try that for the last three weeks and see what happens. It is a healthier way to do it. One doesn't want to stay in low carb high protien for too long cause it can damage your kidneys. So I will mix it up and really be strict the last three weeks with the nutrition and bust my butt on the workouts and see how it goes.

No pics again this week. The wife is out of town and took the camera. But here are updated measureables.

Weight - 228 now down to 209.6
BF - 21% now down to 12.7%
Waist at belly button. 35.5 inches (today) down from 36 inches (measured two week ago)

Legs/Back Week 10

Well I skipped Yoga yesterday. That damn first 45 minutes is so intimidating I simply never started it. Bad Byron. Then it got worse. I was busy the end of my shift at work so I didn't get to eat for like 5 hours. That is missing 2 meals. Needless to say I was starving and the longer I don't eat the worse things (healthy wise) I crave. So I did make it home and eat chicken. But then I found the wife's food stash and it was all downhill from there. Dare I list what I ate? I better. This is all about accountibility and God knows I'm not perfect.

1/2 bag Baked Doritoes
20oz Mountain Dew
24 oz Dew
Pepporoni Personal Pan Pizza
3 Breadsticks
$1.29 Bag of Japaleno Poppers Doritoes (I had to try them since they came out 2 months ago) (Oh and they sucked)
Bag of Skittles
Caramello

Wow! Talk about binging. LOL. Needless to say I felt like crap went I finally went to bed.

I didn't want to workout today. I have had this abdominal pain come on daily for maybe the last 4 days. It comes for maybe an hour and a half and they goes away. Not sure what that is. But the pain went away today and I crushed my workout. My pullups total went up. Over 50, 52 I think, I don't have the paper in front of me. Have to get ready for work.
