My Power 90 X Journey http://www.mypower90x.com One man's Power 90 X Journey Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:28:44 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Dear God I am Sore http://www.mypower90x.com/workouts/dear-god-i-am-sore/ http://www.mypower90x.com/workouts/dear-god-i-am-sore/#comments Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:28:44 +0000 Palespyder http://www.mypower90x.com/?p=105 Okay, so I woke up this morning so sore I cannot stand it. I am slated to do Shoulders and Arms + Abripper today, hope that the workout gets rid of some of this soreness.

After speaking with some friends, I decided to again do 1 round of Power90X then I will do Insanity to cut fat out of the muscles. The way I was doing it was cutting fat without building muscle and was told by a trainer that is a backwards way to work it. So here I am, Day 2, did Plyo and went for a run doing Couch25K Week 3. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible, I am really bad at that.

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.

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 am sore as hell…Day 3 http://www.mypower90x.com/workouts/omg-i-am-sore-as-hell-day-3/ http://www.mypower90x.com/workouts/omg-i-am-sore-as-hell-day-3/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:24:49 +0000 Palespyder http://www.mypower90x.com/?p=91 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.

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.

The First Day of the Rest of My Life http://www.mypower90x.com/workouts/may-31-2010-the-first-day-of-the-rest-of-my-life/ http://www.mypower90x.com/workouts/may-31-2010-the-first-day-of-the-rest-of-my-life/#comments Tue, 01 Jun 2010 02:45:14 +0000 Palespyder http://www.mypower90x.com/?p=86 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.

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.

Overcoming Overeating

]]> http://www.mypower90x.com/diet/beachbody-newsletter-overcoming-overeating/feed/ 0 Okay, back to it. http://www.mypower90x.com/diet/okay-back-to-it/ http://www.mypower90x.com/diet/okay-back-to-it/#comments Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:06:24 +0000 Palespyder http://www.mypower90x.com/?p=75 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!
