So arms and shoulders. Yes my shoulder is still hurting. I went down in weights in some moves but up in others. Still have to be careful with the shoulder. It's odd because where it was hurting last week it's fine. Now it's moved down the arm and closer to the neck. And it's not the kind of hurt as in sore muscles from working too much. This is pain as in almost tearing the muscle and extremely weak in certain directions. Either way I'm being careful.
And yes did them very painful things they call abs. BUT I'm getting better at them.
Food - very light food wise
Breakfast - protein drink, oj and kashi cereal
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - protein drink
Snack - pineapple
Dinner - small portion of wheat spaghetti and salad.
Love it!!

DAY 16 - I don't know what it is....
But I really like doing Plyometrics. It's harder than you can believe and painful but I love it. I don't know if it's the jumping around or what it is but it's great. And like everything else I see improvements every time I do it. Hot foot.. you hop on one foot moving your foot in a cross pattern. When I first did plyo I couldn't do it to save my life. 4 or 5 crosses and I was done. Now, keep in mind this is only the 3rd time I've done plyo, I'm doing the full 30 seconds on each foot. LOVE IT!
Anyway... plyo is awesome.
Food today -
Breakfast - protein drink and oj. Go figure.
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - 4 oz steak and 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 cup of pineapple
Snack - protein drink
Dinner - kashi oat flakes
I know. Should have had the cereal for breakfast. I had a late lunch so wasn't really hungry and didn't want to cook.
Happy days I tell ya.

DAY 15 - WEEK 3
Amazing. Just did back and chest. First round I upped the weight to 45lbs. Easily did 15 reps on back-fly and lawnmowers. So second round upped to 55lbs. NOT ENOUGH still cranked out 15 reps. Amazing because a couple weeks ago 25lbs was just right.
Even with my shoulder still a bit tender I was able to do push-ups and pull-ups. Some of the push-ups I was able to do 20 to 25 each round. Others not so much. Diamond I had to do from the knees. Tweaked my shoulder too much. Dive-bombers - not a chance in hell I was going to do those with my shoulder.
Pull-ups I still did a fair amount but not what I should be able to do. I think part of it is because I'm using the beam for my pull-up bar so I'm doing them with my finger tips. I need to figure something out to mount a bar.
Food -
Breakfast - protein drink and oj
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - 1 cup salad, 4oz chicken, 1/2 cup low fat yogurt blended w/fresh strawberries.
Snack - protein shake
Dinner - steamed zucchini, brown rice and about 6oz of steak
Was a very good day and so excited to be in my 3rd week of this. Loving it and bringing it!

DAY 14
Officially 2 weeks into P90X. And I took it easy today. I really want to go downstairs and do something... anything. But I need to give my shoulder a break. It won't do any good if it's injured to the point I can't do anything at all. So I've been truly resting it.
Food today -
Breakfast - Kashi cereal and blueberries
Snack - no morning snack because it was a late breakfast.
Lunch - tuna salad sandwich w/celery and spinach
Snack - protein bar
Dinner - leftover Cajun garlic spinach chicken and noodles
I was hungry so another snack - a little beef jerky
Tomorrow Day 15 and back to the routine. Last week of same routine then a so called recovery week.

DAY 13 - Kenpo - love it
So day 13. Can you believe it's been 2 weeks already? Today was Kenpo and makeup day for Ab Ripper. On both accounts not a bad workout at all. I hate abs but love the results. Every time I do them I make a little more progress. A few more reps, a little bit longer on the mason twists. And I notice the improvement to other workouts too. Balance is even getting better.
All I can say about Kenpo is I love it.
Food -
Breakfast - 1 cup Kashie oat flakes with blueberries and orange juice. Gasp! No protein drink.
Snack - No snack. It was a late morning and a late lunch
Lunch - salad and cottage cheese (1/2 cup)
Snack - Blueberry protein slushy
Dinner - Cajun Garlic Spinach Chicken w/egg noodles in a garlic white sauce and salad.
Ok let me give you the recipe because it was my concoction.
3 chicken breasts - cubed.
1/2 bag of whole spinach - loosely chopped
4 cloves of fresh garlic (or more if you really like garlic chicken) - chopped
Cajun seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil.
1/2 bag of egg noodles
1/2 can of low salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup of 2% milk
2 - 3 tablespoons minced garlic.
Salt and pepper
Serves 4 - Serving size -- 1 cup egg noodles and 1 1/2 cup of chicken (about 6oz)
While the egg noodles are cooking -
Put the cubed chicken in a large skillet. Add olive oil and fresh chopped garlic. Cook chicken over medium high heat stirring occasionally. When almost done add Cajun seasoning (to taste) and chopped spinach. Continue cooking over medium heat stirring occasionally.
White sauce - mix flour and milk in a small sauce pan. Stir constantly over high heat until it starts to steam. Add chicken broth stirring constantly. Once it starts to boil add minced garlic. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the egg noodles but do not rinse. Place them back in the pan and pour the white sauce over them. Mix the noodles around until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes).
Serve as a side or put the chicken over the top.
PS - I think I lost my daughter in the whole journey thing. Hope she has a compass.

DAY 12 - Legs, back and abs
Well.. no abs tonight. Rough day. I'm doing abs tomorrow with Kenpo. As far as legs go it was an awesome workout. Back not so much. My shoulder is still bothering me quite a bit so the pull-ups (that I forgot about on this one) were killing my shoulder. Couldn't do many at all. Rather than risk serious injury I backed off doing those. I was able to use the bands so I still got a workout that way. I just don't feel it was as good as if I were doing the pull-ups.
Food today:
Breakfast - protein drink and orange juice
Snack - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
Lunch - leftover Chinese from last night - small portion
Snack - protein drink and beef jerky
Dinner - last of the Chinese
Kenpo tomorrow with Abs. Other than my shoulder I feel really good.

DAY 11 - Ahhhh.. yoga
Yoga is very nice. Still having issues with a few things but doing better. Flexibility is improving. So are the abs. And even better that I did it later at night. I'm stretched and relaxed. So hot shower and off to bed soon.
Food today - let's see.
Breakfast - protein drink and orange juice. I know I have that every morning. It's just convenient.
Snack - yogurt
Lunch - tuna wrap - tuna, lettuce, celery, spinach, carrots, onion
Snack - protein drink
Dinner - I cheated. Chinese. But it was small portion. Beef and Chinese vegetables, vegetable fried rice.
Feeling good for the most part. My shoulder is still sore and I was feeling it with yoga tonight. Tomorrow is legs and back so the shoulder will have a rest. Then Saturday is Kenpo. Should be in good shape.

DAY 10 - Have I told you... yep I did.
I hate abs. Does it ever get easier? Guess that's a stupid question considering every time I do abs I get a few more in. /smile Yep. Arms, shoulders and Ab Ripper X. Did better all the way around. I like seeing the improvement each time. Gives you that little boost you need when you can do a few more pounds or a few more reps.
Food - light day really.
Breakfast - protein drink and orange juice
Lunch - cup-o-noodles and a protein drink
Dinner - tuna salad wrap - tuna fish, celery, spinach, carrots, lettuce, onion
Yep light day. I was getting hungry about the time I left work but other than that no real problems and I didn't feel like I was tanking my workout due to lack of energy.
Oh and I lost 3 more pounds since last Wednesday. So about 7 lbs and 2 inches off the waist in 10 days.

Day 9...DONE!
Wow...Plyo is hard! Definitely need to get a heart rate monitor. I think mine is getting too high, but I don't want it getting too low. Some of those exercises in Plyo I hate, but results will soon show and I'll love them ;)
Plyo is definitely not ideal with cramps.....UGH!
Food was off today. Went to the pool with the kids.

Food was off today. Went to the pool with the kids.
DAY 9 - Feeling good!!
Woot! Day 9 is down. Second round of Plyometrics and it was AWESOME. I did take 2 extra 30 second breaks because my heart rate was way up BUT I did complete almost ALL of the same number of reps and same amount of time for everything. Amazing. And considering I was as tired as I was before doing Plyo it was even better.
Why was I tired? Long drive to Watertown to teach a class.
Food - again not the best because it was road trip day.
Wait before I get in to what I had to eat I wanted to bring something up. In the nutrition plan.. I think that's where I saw it, maybe not, someone said that when you're cleaning your system out and happen to have bad carbs it tends to drag the energy right out of you. LET ME TELL YOU.... It's true. I was doing fine energy wise all day long. Then in the training class they ordered pizza. I had a small 3 inch by 3 inch (if that) piece of pizza. About 20 minutes later I was ready for bed - and I still had a 3 hour drive home.
SO for the food -
Breakfast - protein drink, orange juice and half an english muffin (wheat)
Lunch - the stupid piece of pizza, protein drink
Snack - protein bar
Dinner - shrimp stir-fry and rice.
Bringing it and loving it.

Day 8; Week 1 Complete ;)
One week down! Woo hoo! It's exciting because there is one muscle in my arm that is starting to improve and Wade felt it and high 5ed me! It makes me so happy when he's so excited about my accomplishment with it!
Chest and Back was easier this time around, but definitely not a piece of cake. I was so pumped on Ab Ripper X. I did the Mason Twist for 20 sec continuously. I decided I'll up it every time or so. My abs just burn after that. Feel the burn.
My diet was off today. Had a protein shake this morning and then was on the road. Had a fruit cup and then some somewhat healthy mac and cheese. Didn't go as planned for supper, but tomorrow it will. I was craving a salad, but didn't make it in time. Bummer! Good ole Runza ;)
Congratulations Donna for graduating today! Congratulations Dad for completing Week 1 too! 12 weeks to go!! I'm so excited!

DAY 8 - 1 week down
So 1 week down and today was chest, back and Ab Ripper X. I did abs first and didn't do too bad. The Mason Twists are killers. But it's only been a week. I'm getting there. Saw improvement in everything all the way around so I'm feeling REALLY good. My right shoulder is a little sore but it was sore when I got up this morning. Must have slept wrong. It's just more sore now than it was.
Food - Kept it a pretty light day on food. I've been feeling bloated with all the food so I'm backing down the quantity.
Breakfast - protein shake and orange juice.
Snack - protein shake
Lunch - shrimp stir-fry with rice, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and some yogurt.
Haven't eaten anything else. Donna had graduation so our night has been busy. All good though and congratulations to her for her accomplishment!

Day 7 - Rest and stretch
So today was a day of rest. I decided to do Stretch X. Even though it was an hour of stretching it was still sweaty and work. It felt really good though. I've been noticing that I'm starting to get a better range of motion, my hamstrings are letting me bend farther and overall just feel looser. Definitely a good thing to do and I may do it a couple times a week.
Food today:
Breakfast - protein drink and wheat english muffin.
Lunch - tuna w/celery and chopped spinach, about a tablespoon of miracle whip. and 2 pieces of wheat bread. Oh and a piece of celery.
Dinner - shrimp stir-fry. It was pretty good considering I had to wing it a bit because I didn't have everything. Still lots of veggies and protein. So it's all good.
And tomorrow - Back to chest & back and Ab Ripper X. I hate abs but I think I'm going to do them first before I do chest and back.

Dad's Day 6
I have to completely agree with Kendra... Kenpo ROCKS! And yeah it does go too fast. Hey Kendra? How about next time we do a double Kenpo session?
Seriously though that is an amazing routine. I probably didn't do all the reps they did. Actually I know I didn't. I was trying to get the coordination down on the moves so I took my time to figure them out. My heart rate was up there but it wasn't consistent.
Food wise today. Eh. Probably could have done better.
Breakfast - cup of cereal with milk.
Lunch - protein drink - 2 scoops w/10oz 2% milk
Dinner - turkey burger, 2 pieces of wheat bread, 2 cups of salad
And later some watermelon.
So tomorrow is rest day. I'm going to try and go to the gym and do some treadmill, some real pull-ups to check myself, and some other miscellaneous things. Keep that muscle confusion up. I'm not going to workout hard but I would like to get some treadmill time and the pull-ups. Or maybe I'll just do Stretch X tomorrow and stay home.
I'm loving this!!!!

Day 6!
I loved Day 6! Kenpo X....LOVE IT! Can't wait to do it again next week. I was bummed that it when by so fast. Bummer! I wish the other ones would fly by. I was sure sweating though. Gregg caught me punching the air and told me to keep it up! ;) He was spying. ha!
I love how I feel after I take a shower after a work out. It feels different today because I have all day long. This morning I had a protein shake. Now, I am drinking my recovery drink, then might have a salad.
Can't wait to see what Dad thought of Kenpo! I love punching and kicking air. Ha Ha!!

Days 2, 3, 4, and 5
Wow it's been awhile since I have been on here. Been a crazy week. Kinda down, but still hanging in there. P90X is definitely doing its job. I have been sore and barely able to move all week and sadly, I love it! That means results on coming.
I have noticed some improvements on Ab Ripper X and I love it! The Mason Twist gets me everytime, but I'm able to do it longer, and touch the floor. The problem I have is my hips tense up and start to cramp. Bummer! I'll get there!
Plyometrics hurt! I'm not going to lie, my hips were tense and they were freezing on me so I did not complete the DVD, BUT I will keep trying and next week, I will push through it and try harder. I'm bummed I didn't make it through, but I'm determined to make it next week.
Yoga, I started Yoga and got about 15 minutes into it and realized I was not fully focused and to me, you have to be to get through it. Especially Yoga X. It's not easy. I decided I would complete Yoga X on Sunday when I am suppose to be resting. Wednesday was my rest day so Sunday I get to work!
I loved the arms and shoulders work out! I can definitely feel my arms getting stronger, but on some of them, I found some muscles I didn't even know I could find. Oh boy, I was so sore the next morning. Granted, I've been sore all week, but those muscles in particular were hurting.
Did I mention that the recovery drink (Accelerade) sucks for flavor? Ha! It wasn't too bad tonight since I was so tired.
Tonight was Legs and Back. Wow!! Tony has it cut out for us. I didn't even know you could put the combination's in lunges like that. Lifting the heel and doing lunges. WOW! My calves will feel it tomorrow.
All in all, I having such a great experience doing P90X. Tonight, while doing the workout, I just thought, wow why am I doing this to my body? So I looked at the girls in the video and said that's why. They are fit! And some of these workouts are fun to do when you need to get some anger, frustration, and even hurt out. It's been quite a stressful week and it's nice to take that out on some extra pull ups.
Congrats Dad! We are just about through week 1!!! YAY!! I have two more workouts to do and you have one! Awesome! I am looking forward to Kenpo X. Sounds like fun.
I will try and post on here more; ok so let me reword; I will post on here everyday! Day 6 tomorrow, Kenpo X. Looking forward to it! I'll try to post my diet up here too!

DAY 5 - Ugh. ABS
Have I said how much I hate the Ab Ripper? Really. Have I told you? No? Well... I hate the Ab Ripper. Love my abs though... well... at least I can feel the muscles. Can't see them yet but I'm getting there.
So legs, back and yes abs. I'm thinking the next time I have an ab night I'm going to do the abs first. I think that is part of my problem. Then do the other. See if I'm more successful with them.
So food today. Stepped out of the box for food today.
Breakfast - 1 cup of of Kashi oat flakes and blueberry clusters and a protein drink. What? You think you can't have cereal? Sure you can. Just stick with the 1 cup serving. I went with 1/2 cup of milk though because I was having the protein shake. Still for the cereal it was 200 calories, 15 cal from fat (2g), 44 carb, 6 protein. A lot of sugar 12g but I wanted some crunchy today.
Snack - protein drink w/2% milk
Lunch - 2 cups salad, 1/2 cup cottage cheese
Snack - protein bar
Dinner - 8oz of whiting (fish), lemon pepper coating, 1 cup garlic mashed potatoes, 2 cup salad, 8oz 2% milk.
Not a bad day on food. This weekend I'm planning on precooking lunches and dinner. Pop them in the freezer so they're good to go. That's been part of my struggle too. Keeping variety. SO cooking this weekend. I'll fill you in.
Tomorrow - Kenpo. I watched the DVD and it looks very good. I know. It's not going to be easy. But it's so worth it.

DAY 4 - Yoga. No not Yogurt.
For all of you that might think Yoga is easy and dumb? Ummm... it's not. An hour and a half of yoga tonight. Let me tell you it was painful, but felt good at the same time. I certainly found tendons and muscles I didn't know I have. They were either REALLY tight or if they weren't sore they are now. And lots of sweating - as usual. Even though it was my first time through this I did find I was able to stretch a little more than I had before.
All-in-all I liked it and won't mind doing it again.
Oh... there were belly moves (abs) too. They weren't the most comfortable to do because I just did abs last night so still weak and sore a bit. Still... I did everything I could possibly do to get through and complete as much as I could.
And now for the daily food update! Another half day in Syracuse. I'm tired of driving and I still have to make a trip to Watertown and Massena. ANYWAY.. the food. Not a lot of calories today.
Breakfast - Protein shake 8oz 2% milk, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 8oz orange juice.
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - protein bar (I was driving back from Syracuse.
No afternoon snack. Day was all messed up.
Dinner - the almost last of the stroganoff - 1 cup noodles and 1 cup stroganoff. I was getting hungry about an hour or so later so I had a couple pieces of jerky and a plain piece of Wheat bread. I had about 6oz of 2% milk too.
Now I'm drinking the recovery. It was light calorie day so I suspect I'll be getting hungry in a little while. I need to finish my drink and then wait at least 45 minutes after that before I can eat anything. Hopefully the recovery drink will satisfy me until tomorrow.
Yeah I know. You're not supposed to be hungry. My day was just messed up with everything.
OH -- Did I tell ya I lost 2lbs since Monday? AND 1 inch around the belly along with it? VERY nice.

DAY 3 - Arms and shoulders and the killer abs
Another one is in the bag. About an hour on shoulders and arms and about 15 minutes on abs. I hate abs. I really hate abs. BUT... I was able to do more of the abs workout tonight than I was able to do Monday. So progress!!! Always a good thing.
As far as arms and shoulders go it wasn't bad. I couldn't do the weights I had been doing at the gym. But then again I wasn't doing the same lifts at the gym. So, many more new muscle groups being worked. I still pushed it though. Probably going to pay but in the beginning of this you're supposed to be sore. I'm good though - loving it.
Food - Kind of an off day. Another day of driving and sitting in class so lunch was interesting. Here's the run down.
Breakfast - 1 cup egg beaters, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 8oz orange juice. (1 cup of egg beaters is still too much to eat. Next time 1/2 cup)
Both snacks were protein bars because I was sitting in class all day.
Lunch - this was a served lunch and was deli meat tray and salad. So about a 1 cup of salad, 1 tablespoon of dressing, 1/2 a roll, 1 slice of american cheese, 2 deli slices of chicken breast.
Dinner - leftover stroganoff from the other night. 1 cup noodles and 1 cup of the stroganoff. 8oz of 2% milk
And of course sipping my recovery drink as I type this.

DAY 2 .. Plyometrics
I have to say that was not at bad as I thought it was going to be. Don't get me wrong. My heart rate was way up there, I'm sweating like a pig and my legs are absolutely burning. All in all though... I liked that workout.
Jayven even did some of the exercises with me. He was having a ball.
SO... Day 2 and Plyo is IN THE BAG!!!!
Now to go drink my recovery drink --- SSS LLL OOO WWW LLL YYY.
And then a shower.
Jack
**UPDATE**
Accelerade did fine tonight. It's orange flavor but isn't the best tasting. So I added a berry flavor packet that you'd normally put in water. So it's orange-berry. Much more palatable.

Day 2...
Well this morning is not too bad. Triceps on my left arm (near elbow) are a little tight and sore. My right has just a twinge of tightness. That was probably the diamond push-ups. It's all good though. Muscles are rebuilding and that's how you get stronger.
Food for the day:
Breakfast - protein shake w/2% milk
Snack - 1 cup strawberries
Lunch - 2 cups salad with 6oz of chicken breast, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese (learned my lesson!)
Snack - protein bar and beef jerky.
Dinner - Beef Stroganoff, mixed vegetables
So today is a more normal day at work. Which means I can stand, walk around, etc. Probably go for a walk during lunch considering it's going to be such a nice day.
PLYO tonight!

And Dad's is complete too..
All I can say is OMG!
Actually the first part wasn't too bad. I think I pushed the first cycle of reps too hard. Should have paced better. On the second cycle of reps I matched most of them, a few fell short of the first round and for the dive bombers I actually managed one more than the first round - that means I only managed 5 on the second round. They ain't easy!
I did pause the DVD about 10 minutes from the end. My heart rate was too high and I was getting light headed so I stopped for a couple minutes to bring it down. Yes it was only 2 minutes while I got my breathing and heart rate under control. Better safe than sorry.
Abs, umm, not so good. I was surprised what I was able to do. Not surprised what I couldn't do. It'll get better.
Overall not too bad. Still feeling a little woozy but my body temp is high and my heart rate is still up there. It's coming down.
Off to do plyo tomorrow.
**UPDATE**
So 3/4 of the way through the Accelerade I started feeling sick. Ok feeling sick is putting it nicely. Let's just say so much for the first 3/4 of the drink. Not sure if it was because of the drink or because of the workout. I'll have to keep an eye on it. I might be pushing TOO hard.

Day 1 Complete!
Wow! Of course I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't realize it would be this demanding. Ok, so I did, but anyway, it's hard! You have to be mentally ready to push through all the burning and weakness and get through it. I'm learning very fast and it's only day 1.
I definitely need to up my calories. I was very weak when I was doing the Ab Ripper X after the Chest & Back. My reps for the Chest & Back portion weren't amazing, but they didn't completely suck either. I feel pretty good about them. My arms don't like it, but I'll whip them into shape in no time and they will love it!!
My diet consisted of a protein shake in the morning, and I'm serious, that filled me up. Then I was kinda hungry later so I had about half of a nasty protein bar. I need to find a better tasting bar. HA! For lunch, I had a small salad with a side of fruit and then for a snack I had cottage cheese and the rest of the protein bar. For dinner, I had a delicious grilled lemon peppered chicken, green beans, fruit, and a small roll. I know I shouldn't have eaten the roll, but after the healthy stuff today, it tasted somewhat like cheesecake. Lol! Kinda....it I use my imagination. ;)
My arms are feeling a bit weak after the workout. I need to ice my left shoulder a bit, but that recovery drink will speed up the healing process. The hips were definitely popping. Kinda annoying.
But, enough with the bad. I loved the workout, well, after it was all said and done. I felt very good about it. I feel as though I didn't get what I could have gotten out of Ab Ripper X because I was real weak during that workout. I think when I up the calories that I take in, it will improve. My body was just in shock. Ha!
I can't wait for tomorrow! I heard that Plyometrics is harder than day 1, but I am ready for the challenge!
More thoughts later....

And the day has arrived...
So I haven't done the workout yet. Just got home from Jamestown. Four hour drive out, 2 hour class and a 4 hour drive back. Long day.
Food - Let me tell you 2 cups of egg beaters is A LOT of eggs. Needless to say I had a cup and a half. Next time probably just a cup. Lunch - 2 cups of cottage cheese. I had a salad with me but after the cottage cheese I wasn't hungry. So the salad is still hanging around.
So let me break it down:
Breakfast - 1.5 cups of egg beaters (still too much) and 8oz protein drink w/2% milk.
Snack - another 8oz protein drink (I was driving)
Lunch - 2 cups cottage cheese (also too much)
Snack - protein bar and a couple pieces of beef jerky
Dinner - haven't had it yet but will be chicken, vegetables and strawberries.
I haven't been hungry at all. I can probably attribute that to the fact I spent the day sitting on my butt driving. Although I came up with an idea on the long drive. DriverX - workout while you drive. Stretches, leg lifts, abs, isometrics with the arms on the ceiling of the car, and of course seat dancing. Think it'll catch on?
Anyway going to make dinner so I can workout at a reasonable hour tonight.
More to come.

Tomorrow is the Day...
Tomorrow is Day 1. I'm nervous about everything, but ready. The nutrition part of it is hard. I don't eat right at all. LOL. Thanks Dad for sending me those recipes! Some of those look horrible and some of them look too good to be true! They all approved? Ha ha!
All of this will take awhile to get used to, but it'll happen!
Can't wait to get started, I'll make a post after my workout and let you all know how dead I am. Ha!
Kendra

Tomorrow's the day..
I'm excited about starting tomorrow but really wondering how I'll do on day one. I'm going to be spending 4 hours on the road to Jamestown, teaching an hour and a half class then heading back 4 hours. Eat dinner when I get home and about an hour or so later... first day of putting my body through the paces.
Not really the best way to start, eh?
Regardless... I'm going to do it, and do my best.
And here are all the bad before pictures:

Kendra's Starting Stats
So here are my starting stats:
Weight: 146.2 lbs (be happy I told you all my weight, women should not have to. Just kidding!)
Waist: 36 inches (the real waist across the navel)
Hips: 41 inches (measured from widest part of hip toward the bum)
Chest: 35 inches (the one area that can stick around!)
Arms: 12 inches (right)
Thighs: 24.5 inches (right)
Body fat: 35.4% YIKES!
Pictures will be posted later tonight.
Day 0 Pictures...Oh Lord! How dreadful, gotta change this!!! At least at Day 90 I'll look good, AND have make up on. LOL! I look awful!

What's to eat...
One more day! I'm excited.
So what's a person to eat? Well with the fat shredder portion of the program it's high protein and low carb.
So for Monday my menu consists of:
Breakfast:
Egg white omelet
Whey Protein drink w/8oz of 2% milk
Snack:
Protein bar
Lunch:
2 cups of salad w/dressing
2 cups cottage cheese
Snack:
Whey protein drink w/8oz of 2% milk
Dinner:
Baked Italian chicken
Squash
Corn bread
Strawberries
And after the workout a recovery drink.
I know you might be saying that isn't a lot of food and you have to live on protein drinks and salads. It is a lot of food really (compared to what I normally eat) and it works out to only 2170 calories. 620 calories from fat. 69g of fat total. 248g of protein and 134g of carbs.
And as far as the protein drinks I have many days where I don't have any protein drinks at all. They aren't bad though. Some of the times I have the protein drinks they're actually going to be smoothies with fresh fruit.
Besides I'm going to be on the road tomorrow for most of the day so I needed to have things to eat I don't have to cook.
Just remember you should never be hungry. But you shouldn't be stuffed either. Eat slow and enjoy the food.

Fitness test
Did the fitness test the other night. I was rather surprised at how I did. I know if I hadn't already been going to the gym I wouldn't have done as well as I did on some of them. Now I need to figure out some realistic goals. I think I'm going to throw in a doubles day every couple of days but tailor those doubles to mass building.
Katie?
Not sure if one of my other daughters is going to join us or not and not sure how much she's going to do. I'm hoping she goes full blown like Kendra and I.
Jack.
Jack.
The stats..
So here are my starting stats:
Weight: 200 lbs
Waist: 42 inches (the real waist across the navel)
Hips: 35 inches
Chest: 43 inches
Arms: 15 inches (actually muscle not all fat)
Body fat: 21.6%
Pictures will be posted later this weekend.
Still need to figure out the food. Although I've decided I'm going to start out in the Level 2 area of Phase 1 on the food. Level 3 seems like it's just too much food.
Monday is just around the corner and I'm excited!

Protein drink
Umm.. mixing it with milk is far better than water. Added benefit - gives you part of your dairy for the day.
And 2 more days to the start...
And 2 more days to the start...
The Room
Ok so here is my dungeon... err.. workout room... for my P90X. All it took was a little elbow grease, about $34 for paint and supplies, and about $60 for the pad, push-up stands and resistance bands. Weights are going to come later. -- Jack

Only Days Left...
MONDAY!!!! That's the day and yes I'm ready! I know it will be very hard and very challenging, but I'm super excited to get fit. My Dad and I have been super excited about this since I showed him the P90X stuff. I have a few more things to buy in preparation for our journey, but tomorrow brings another day!
I'll be posting pictures of different things I'm excited about and those dreadful before pictures. Not excited about that, but I think that will be motivation in itself.
4 days left. Better enjoy the foods I like now, before I have to start limiting myself. Yes, I know, I can still have the goodies, just have to be smart about it ;) Would rather eat all I want though! LOL!!
Till next time!
Kendra

Counting down..
So the basement has been set up for my P90X workouts. I'll be posting before and after pictures here shortly. There's just a little more I want to do down there. I had to set up down there because we live in an older house. I don't think the neighbors would appreciate hearing me jumping up and down. Besides that the doorways have the old crown molding that the pull-up bar would have issues with. So I'm going to mount a piece of pipe between the floor joists in the basement. Where there's a will there's a way. /smile
And today my P90X showed up. So now I have real motivation to get things done. Tomorrow and Friday I'll be finishing up in the basement and buying some things that I need - resistance bands, pads for the floor, food, etc.
So by this weekend I hope to be all set to start. My deadline to start is Monday.
Ummm Kendra? That means you need to be ready too! We're doing this together, right? /smile
Pictures to come...

And so it begins
Kendra and I have decided to make this a father/daughter journey. I'm hoping my other daughter decides to join in too. Anyway, we decided to document our journey from start to end.
We're going to include daily posts, beginning pictures, progress pictures, weights, sizes, our meals, our pain, our support and a whole host of other information as we go through this.
For those going through this or considering it, I hope you find support or even information about the program here on our blog.
