I am still going. I am in week 2, just finished Plyometrics X and was able to do a ton more then I was last week. As I said before, I am going to have to just take it slow, do as much as I can and add new stuff as I am able. I don’t think it will take me more then a month or so to complete all the workouts.
I have lost 15 lbs in the last week, though I am assuming most of that was water buildup. Though I am not following the diet, I am trying to really do a bit of portion control and I think that is helping a bit too.
Anyway, thought I would check in so you guys did not think I was slacking off. With School, a full time job, a wife, and a house to take care of, I have a bit of trouble getting here to post sometimes.

I was having trouble dragging my ass out of bed this morning so I decided to take today as my off day. Not a huge loss Yoga X, which I have a ton of trouble with.
My soreness is getting better, I am still fairly sore but I am either getting more used to it or it is getting less and less all the time. Anyway I will post more tomorrow.

I did Shoulders and Arms today and though I finished up to two exercises into the bonus, the soreness is intense. It is hard for me to lift my arms above my head and my legs feel like jello. I know this will get easier, I just have to keep pressing play.
I did not have trouble with any of the exercises except chair dips, which I have always had a problem with.

Did some Plyometrics X this morning. I am going to have to figure something out on that one because I don’t want to wake my wife up while jumping around. I made it through about 40 minutes before I got worried about waking her up.
The workout is tough, but not unbearable, I was sweating like a whore in church, but that is to be expected when you weigh almost 300lbs and you are trying to make all that flub levitate. I love that workout the most because I feel like it is the one where you can feel it really getting into those deep stabilizer muscles and working. I think the worst part of it is the stool kicks, my hip flexors are killing me right now.
Anyway, Day 2 is down and I am looking forward to the journey this time, no more excuses, just got to keep pushing play.

Well, I decided today was the day and that “I am to fat” to do the exercises was just an excuse my mind was making so that it can maintain the norm. I don’t want the norm so I went in at 8:30 tonight and I pressed play on the Chest and Back Workout. It kicked my ass, and I was not able to do abs for fear of vomiting, but I finished the workout and I will be getting up at 5am every morning and pressing play. I will just have to add things in as I can (Ab Ripper X). Anyway, I am on my way.
I did not bother changing my pics, I weigh exactly the same and nothing has changed.

Well I gave it a go, it appears I am to fat to do this program and must start out a bit slower to protect my joints. I am going to try to get down a bit and then try this again. I will still post from time to time to keep the blog as active as possible, but as it stands, Power 90 X is just a bit to much for this fat man’s joints.

Well I have taken a bit of an extended break due to this extreme allergy season. I was having trouble getting motivated to start Power 90 X, but I went ahead and set the date of May 1 to start, that is Saturday. I decided to do a light breakfast of a smoothie, a lunch of a protein shake, and a light dinner the next two nights to ease myself back into the power 90 program. We have 2 weeks worth of food to get rid of, then I will be back on the diet.
I will admit that I am a bit afraid to get started, I mean what if I succeed, then what? I know that sounds ridiculous, but I actually wonder sometimes if that is not my thought process.
Anyway, thought I should post and get in the habit of making a daily post. I will try to keep my measurements and weight loss on here as well to keep a record of my progress. I am starting at 300 lbs (296.5 this morning) and will work down from there. I hope some that find this page will find also some encouragement from my journey. Enjoy and sorry for the Delay!

I have been on vacation this last week with my daughter for spring break and have not had a chance to update. I postponed the workout for one week due to this and have therefore had nothing of substance to report. I will begin my working out again on Monday morning and will get back on the stick. I am looking forward to keeping this journal up and to working hard to get myself a better body!
