Yeah, my day 8 was supposed to be yesterday, Sunday, but I was goofing off around. However, I have gotten myself together this morning and did day 8, so I will count yesterday like it didn't exist. :)
Didn't get to do my Ab Ripper workout, so I will do it this afternoon before my kungfu practice. I have my P90X instruction manual in my kungfu bag ready to go. It might spark some interesting conversations with my kungfu brothers.
May you be well!

Day 4, Yoga X, success
Hello there,
Today was Day 4 of P90X and Yoga X was on tap... I was anxious about doing this DVD as it is 90 minutes long and quite strenuous. Well I modified some, got through it (except the abs as I do too much of that at the moment) and I feel I am on the right track. What's most important is that I really enjoyed the P90X Yoga X workout. Tony is spot on and chilled out throughout. He does a GREAT job of leading a strenuous and fulfilling workout. It's not as chilled out as my usual Sunday yoga class, but my guru there has incense and music and her own chill style, so that is OK. After 13 weeks of Tony's Ashtanga power yoga, my Sivananda yoga will go to a new level of bliss. I feel a sense of joy at the thought of slowly becoming awesomer and awesomer day by day! WOOT!
If you are interested in Sivananda, check out Quietwillowyoga.com.
If you interested in Tony Horton's genius, then check out my website at www.beachbodycoach.com/mike579/
Here's my food plan for today:
E-Yoga
B-Rec drink
B1-Shake with oats
L1-chicken with veg and 1/4 c white rice 8
L2-Same 8
L3-Soup and VP sandwich (TBD) 6
E-Kungfu 1-2
E-Kids class 1
D-TBD as usual whatever my better half makes

Day 3: Shoulders and Arms; Logic
Hello there,
Today is day 3 of P90X. This morning was the Shoulders and Arms workout. I enjoyed it quite a bit as there's so much variety in the moves. I went kind of light on the weights as my shoulders are on the weak side... I will work up to heavier weights gradually!
***
One thing I have been thinking about is logic. What is logical? Is eating XYZ sugary food porn logical? No, it might make me sick (happened to me recently) and it will make me stay fat or get fatter! If I look at food in the light of logic, then eating clean looks a LOT better. It's all about parenting yourself, your inner child.

B-Recovery Shake 4

E-Simple yoga to chill :)

P90X Day Two: Yoga, Wonderdrugs
I am feeling WONDERFUL! I exercised hard yesterday (chest and back) and today (plyo)! It was awesome and the workout I used still leaves a huge amount of room to progress! Can you tell how up I am?
Let's remember people! The only one that matters is US, that is, me, myself and I. That is, You, Yourself, and YOU! Let's be in our own skins and love ourselves. Be arrogant and reject anything in your way.
Exercise is a wonderdrug. I feel like I know now. What do I know? Make your body sing and your soul will join in! That is the essence of the word "yoga". What is your yoga? Did you know that a morning cup of coffee could be considered yoga? A routine walk around the block at lunch is YOGA. Anything you do to be in your own skin for yourself is yoga.

Recommital
Hello there,
I have been struggling big-time lately, especially with controlling my food. I will be back over the next few days to post some thoughts and influences that have brought me back to a place of strength and recomittal.
So basically this post is to say hello and do update some tickers and such. Be back later.

Did my P90 cardio this morning. I am doing this and Ab ripper just to practice/train for toughness. I hate cardio, but it is the best thing out there for my kungfu and pulmonary capabilities. However, I am taking it slow so as not to overtrain overall because I am doing Chalean Extreme too...

I have been in an eating RUT! Well now I am better and out of that funk. I am back to journaling and counting points. I am going to up my cardio and ab work, as well as up the intensity on my progress with Kungfu. I have decided to set a goal to pass my broadsword test on or around September 5th. This is a big deal as the broadsword form is fast and furious and requires some jumping kicks. I know I can do it and that way I can get started on my next form. Wish me luck please!
