Unfortunately, I had to stop my p90x program for a lil while. Something came up and have to work double time and pay the bills. It sucks!
My last workout was YOGA X which I like. I’ve never done any yoga before but that experience in the comfort of your home was great. I try to do at least ab ripper x every other night but even for less than 30mins I can’t afford to lose.
Oh well… Life’s a kind of hard on me lately.
I’m kinda not in the mood to blog. Just bear with me here.. Not much of details..
Went to court for my speeding ticket at 11:30. Scheduled for 2pm and I got out around 2:30 coz I came early. Got home and immediately did the Shoulders and Arms workout at 4:30 to 5:30. Thursday is bowling so I just took a quick shower and left. My biceps were still hurting while I was bowling. It’s cramping up a lil bit.
My achievement tonight… A 278 game! That’s all strike but an 8-spare in the 4th frame.
I thought I’d just do the ab ripper X once I get home but then I got stuck with some watches to do (I’m a watchmaker, in case you don’t know) and facebook glued me in.
Just wanna crash right now and call it a day.
Whew… Just finished a lot of jumping. I worked out late, I started around 10:30pm. I had to wait for my friends to come over that’s why I was late. The only hard part I did in this workout was the left “hot foot”. I guess my left leg is not that strong. How ironic that is where I always bowl every Thursday and I’m right handed, so I keep my balance with my left leg. I really am liking this p90x. It will help me a lot even in my bowling skills.
Gotta watch “The Unborn” before going to bed. Not working tomorrow, going to courthouse. I saw “Rachel Getting Married” earlier. It was pretty good.
I survived tonight’s workout. I must say, I improved a little. I failed on the second set of declined push up, though. It’s always fun working out with friends. jed, wingyin and my bro were here. Pretty much all routines I did last time, I beat or matched. Good chest and back exercise. I missed yesterday’s so I pushed hard this time. Even on Ab ripper X, I tried 25 reps on all with pauses ofcourse. Maybe next week I’ll be able to complete 25 without any pauses.
And the “day1″ photos… still didn’t have time. I will do it this Saturday and will post it on day 14.
Oh excuses, excuses… Really… I have an excuse. I was going to workout 2hrs after I eat dinner. My friend Douie cooked some Chicken ‘Tinola’ but he left coz we’re waiting on Jed and Wingyin(my friend and his gf) to arrive and join us. Well.. Douie took forever to comeback and ended up eating around 8:30pm. I don’t have time to workout that late although I should have done it earlier because there was heavy snow today and they canceled work. I was doing some other stuff the whole day.
Needless to say, I’m minus one on my 90 day journey. But I have an idea. Instead of resting or stretching (Stretch X) on day 14, I’ll just start with day 1 on this phase. That way.. I’ll still be able to catch up with the date.
And tonight.. I ate chicken. Not a vegan tonight; not to disappoint my friend’s cooking.
YES. I need some rest. 7th day and I just need a break. I want to do the Cardio X but I think my body will not endure it. It snowed a lot tonight, too. I got friends over and really just want to have a good Movie Night and FUSION FRENZY Night!
This is probably one of my busiest day this month. I was up early at 7am for our band practice for our youth fellowship at church. This was our first meeting and the event went until about 1:00pm. Then we had to play some more and we recorded one of the songs that we play a lot, “From the Inside Out” by Hillsong. This video will be up on my facebook soon. We also had our Choir Practice for the Easter presentation at 4pm (more singing). Finally got home at 6:30pm.
Tonight is Kenpo X night. I did it well with my sister. My dad tried it but his belly is so big that he can’t bend his body (LOL!). I enjoyed this workout a lot. I was sweating the whole time and stretching my arms and hamstrings like never before. I didn’t have any problem completing all the reps at the DVD’s pace. My kicking is not as beautiful as what they do though, but I’m feeling the intensity of it. That’s what really matters!! BRING IT!
I wanted to finish the workout early today so I can have a good long sleep for tomorrow because we have a Youth Meeting at our church at 10:00am. I play in the band so I have to practice early around 8:30.
When I got home I just had a peanut butter sandwich and started on Legs and Back workout after an hour. I thought I’d just eat more right after, which I did to.
I struggled on most of the pull-up routines. The leg exercise are OK. I did not push to hard and I think I did well with about 95% of reps of what Tony did. The calves raise was a thrill. That will improve my jumping and swimming ability. The squats and wall squats were killers, too. Burned me a lot but I LOVE IT! This really works and helps maintain my balance. So I’m excited to beat my goals next time.
And next week, I will try to do running at the gym in the morning 3 times a week to up this program a bit. I’m kind of doing my own thing here and we’ll see how it goes.
Oh.. and I had a big meal right after this workout. A Big bowl of noodles with green peas and carrots, protein shake and an apple.
It is Bowling Night for me. I bowl in league every Thursday night from 6:00 to about 9:00pm. Tonight is kind of a big for me. For those of you who bowls, you know this… I scored 212 257 235 with a total of 704. I haven’t had a 700 series this year. Last year I had two. I’m hoping I could keep doing it every week. Really, hopefully. My shoulders were even a bit sore from last night’s shoulders workout. But I just shrugged it off.
I got home about 9:30 and got on my stuff right away. p90x tonight should had been Yoga X but again… My DVD failed me. It won’t play. So we just switched it up with Stretch X instead. I must say, this is one of my favorites. I’m not flexible and this would really help me a lot. I love the spinal intensity of it. During the workout, I pulled my spine a bit and it hurts for about a min. Overall, it was a great workout in these early days of p90x.
And for my diet… Before bowling, I took a Powerbar, 23g protein, and an egg & cheese sandwich. Lots of water and my MASS XXX drink after the workout. Didn’t really had enough of food right there. But Oh well…
Today’s Shoulders and Arms workout went pretty good. I used a lighter weight (15lbs) but I should have gotten one set of even lighter like 10lbs for the shoulder flys and upright rows. My friend came over tonight and we did it together. He was torn apart! haha! Not to mention the Ab ripper X is a killer! I should have taken a video on how we did the entire workout.
My concern is my diet. I had too much protein shakes, I think. I drink MASS XXX from GNC which offers 68g of protein and 980g of calories only 6g of fat. BUT… 123g of carbs. The suggested serving amount is 4 scoops but I’m only using 3 scoops coz my Magic Bullet doesn’t have enough room for four. Today I had 3 servings of these. If you do the math.. there’s lots of carbs there. Should I be concerned? I haven’t really read the entire Nutrition Guide and plus… I don’t have time to cook or prepare stuff. I thought I could live with this extreme workout with just supplements and lots of green leafy vegetables. Oh.. I haven’t mentioned I am a vegetarian (a pesca vegan). Aside from veggies, I still eat seafood, drink milk, consume eggs (on every shakes) and dairy products. I just got rid of any kind of meat out of my diet.
Shoot me some comments if you wish.
