GM LADIES
Eating has been 100% over the weekend...I'm very proud of that. It took a little work and saying no thank you quite a bit, but it feels good.

yesterday was cardio. I did KCM's athletic step w/ 1 plyo move in between, then I had to add a quick step section from HSC to get 40 min. burned 590 calories. I can't believe this week is Thanksgiving.....

TTYL-

Second week of P90X. Today was Chest and Back and I followed the workout as it is laid out. Last week I used only bands and did some weight work for chest instead of doing all the pushups they have in this workout. Today I did all the pullups and pushups. And wow, what a workout. I can honestly say I had a puke status workout. I got nauseous at the end and when I was taking a shower I almost hurled. Not sure what that was all about?

Hardly any rest except I think two 1 minute breaks. It was non-stop and it was exceptional.

Standard Pushups - 30/6 on toes
Wide Front Pullups - 8 assisted
***First set of pullups literally hurt. My upper back is still really sore from Friday's workout.

Military Pushups - 15/5 on toes
Reverse Grip Chinups - 5 unassisted/7 assisted

Wide Flye Pushups - 20/10 on toes
Closed Grip Overhand Pullups - 3 unassisted/6 assisted

Declined Pushups - 13/7 on toes - used 4 rises and topper with High Step
Heavy Pants (double arm rows) - 25's/15 reps

Diamond Pushups - 15/6 on toes
Lawnmowers (one arm rows) - 25#/20 reps

Dive-Bomber Pushups - 12 reps
Back Flyes - 15's/22 reps

Then did all of this again but reverse:

Wide Front Pullups - 10 assisted
Standard Pushups - 25 on toes/10 on knees

Reverse Grip Chinups - 3 unassisted/5 assisted
Military Pushups - 15 on toes/12 on knees

Closed Grip Overhand Pullups - 10 assisted
Wide Flye Pushups - 20/10 on toes

Heavy Pants (double arm rows) - 25's/14 reps
Declined Pushups - 15/5 on toes - used 4 rises and topper with High Step

Lawnmowers (one arm rows) - 25#/16 reps
Diamond Pushups - 10/5 on toes

Back Flyes - 15's/20 reps
Dive-Bomber Pushups - 12 reps

My upper body is TOAST!

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Harley Pasternack's Fitness 5 Factor. I did Days 3, 4 & 5 which was basically lats, chest, shoulders, biceps and triceps with some abs and 3 sets of lunges. I skipped one cardio segment (ran out of time). Workout was 70" and I burned 470 calories. I did a Cathe stretch as this did not have one on it.

Have great workouts everyone.

Good Morning Maniacs

What can I say...... NOTHING! However, I finally got my carpet in basement Empire Today did a nice job and workout equipment is in places I’m ready to begin my journey. With that being said, this morning I did CC#8 had a pretty decent workout considering…

Stat:
60 minutes
460 cals burned
3:85 travelled (pretty slow I know, but carrying a heavy load)

Good To Be Back

Nice work you guys

Theresa - Great job on the eats this weekend! I didn't do so hot yesterday, but today is a new day!


Debbie - Awesome job on Chest & Back! You are gonna be hurtin' tomorrow! I almost puked at one point myself.

Lora - Your endless collection of workout DVDs blows my mind!


This morning was P90X Chest & Back and some numbers went up and others, especially the the pull-ups went down (my back is still tired from Friday as well). This left my upper body fried, but I decided to just totally annhilate my upper body and completely toasted with an 1:15 of raking. I am done.

Also I did Ab Ripper X again but my Hip Flexors are still pretty sore too.

Got a new heart rate monitor and according to it for my 1:10 workout (not including raking) I burned 791 calories! Boy, I really like to think that is right?


First number is on toes or unassisted, second is on knees or assisted (chair).

Theresa - What is your last meal before bed time? I'm just curious. Nice job on eating well this weekend.

Lora - How are you, girl? How's the job? I'm sure you'll be hopping after Thursday.

Teddygirl - Great news on your carpet. Now GET ON IT, GIRL!!!

Linda - Nice job. Wow, these workouts aren't for beginners, are they? You did well with the dive-bomber pushups. At that point I was really trying not to puke. LOL!!! I am still toast, my upper body is fried. I should have done Ab Ripper again. Oh, and I wanted to ask you, are you going to keep the cardio as they have it laid out or are you going to do other ones that you have? I'm not sure yet what I will do, but I know I'll get tired of the cardio workouts after too much longer. I'm looking forward to Plyo X tomorrow, though!

Workout this morning was STS disc 33 back, biceps, and shoulders. I did the whole thing with the Bowflex and did active rests. I also did the w/up of Tracey's Steady State Step before I started STS. Calories burned was 460. I then did Steady State Step Power Mix skipping the w/up 23 minutes and burned 235 calories. When I got back from taking Lexie to school and running to Walmart and the bank I did STS weights and plates abs and Cathe's stretch #2 on the ball with some added neck stretching.
Total calories burned today was 845.
Since I had to really run out the door this morning I ate a Luna Bar in the car. I think I am eating to many of those things. I need to get over here and cook. I picked up a few things I needed.

Theresa, good for you keeping to your eating plan. It is hard to say no to stuff. Especially when it is something you really like a lot. Thanksgiving has come around quick.

Debbie, nice workout. It sounds like you are really liking P90X

Linda, I cannot believe you did all of that raking after your workout
Nice calorie burn too.

Lora, it looks like you are keeping up just fine with those workouts and you work schedule

Teddy, good to have you back

 

[buttercup78]

Linda-nice work and 791 calories WOW!

Debbie-I eat egg whites and salad, tuna and almonds, or protein shake w/ oil mixed in. I tend to lean towards the protein shake @ night. Neither tuna nor egg whites sound that appetizing in the evening.

TeddyGirl-welcome back. Nice workout

Lora-nice workout

Diane sue-nice calorie burn.

 

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Diane Sue - Nice workouts again. You amaze me at how long you workout every day. Makes me tired just reading them. LOL!!!

Theresa - I need to find something low carb for my evening meal. I can deal with eggs but not tuna at night. I'll have to find something. I like protein drinks but I have those before and after I workout. I need to eat more whole foods. Thanks for the ideas.

 

[Teddygirl]

You guys are awesome, really! Thank you again for all the warm welcome.

Debbie – I am on it!

This is my last week of my 2 month Insanity rotation. Fighting a cold so my workout today was a little blah. But I am ready for max cardio and abs tomorrow. Nice workouts everyone.

 

[buttercup78]

Diane Sue-nice weights

Roselyn-way to go on the Insanity Series. Did you follow the program as provided? any results?

Debbie-Maybe have some turkey or chicken w/ green veggies (any amount, they are free) and/or some salad w/ oil. My last meal is protein/fat and the only carbs are from the green veggies. Maybe a frittata?
