Ok, so it's Tuesday morning... Just finished my workout and man is it easy to get off track after 11 days off!!! I made it a goal to do even or +1 to what I did last week to try and make some progress and for 90% of it I succeeded in doing so! The problem came around my 18th-ish set, I was just getting too pooped to continue on, so there were 4 sets left unfinished, and 2 that were 1-2 reps below my first round of sets.
Felt really good overall, and now it's time for some b-fast. I bought some mixings for a yogurt which I'm going to try. Unfortunately it contains some carbs, but so would cereal...

Day 11 - Day 22: Epic Failure
Ok... so it's been a total of 11 days since my last post, and also 11 days since a good P90X workout :-(
Why you may ask? A few things:
A) Starcraft 2 was released July 27th. As this is the sequel to one my favorite games of all time, many hours have been put into this, which resulted in less sleep at night.
B) Company move. I volunteered to help move my company to its new building over the previous weekend and I used that as an excuse to not work out. Poor excuse.
One good thing is that I've been pretty consistent with my diet over these 11 days, and I only faulted with some pizza after helping with my girlfriend's move, and we split a medium gelato the other night, but boy was it delicious!!
I've grown a bit more accustom to Tuna sandwiches loaded up with spicy mustard, and I've been enjoying baby carrots more and more, except for the fact it takes an hour to eat a bag of them and I feel like a bunny rabbit.
Now that this is all in the past (except SC2, but I'll try to regulate), it's time to start back up where I left off (day 11 of P90X program Chest+Back!)

Day 10: Shoulders/Arms + AbRipper
Back on track with Shoulder/Arms. Again, I'm doing this workout with Bethany who brought her weights this time. This workout would be much harder if I had a bunch of dumbbells, but I'm stuck with the bands. I tried doubling up bands (Red + Yellow) for some easier ones which made it a bit harder because of resistance and awkwardness.
Bethany opted out of Ab-ripper, but I did fought through it. I definetly feel the results from doing Ab-ripper more consistently than I did the first round of P90X!
Feel some soreness in the back and chest from my more intense chest/back workout; feels great!
Day 10 weigh-in: 183.0 (hunka bunka), granted I ate and had 1.5 scoops of protein shake just prior.

Day 9: Damnit I slacked.
Ok, I didn't do PlyoX this morning. For some reason, I felt super tired even though I got close to 9 hours of sleep. It must have been from workout out in the late afternoon that I'm not used to.
I'd like to draw your attention to the new background (if it wasn't drawn already). Thanks Carl for making me this Tony collage, speckled with Dreya! I'll have to rework some of the other layout so it's more viewable but it works for now.
Tomorrow will be Arms/Shoulders!
Day 9 weigh-in: 182.6 (stay down damnit, I'm not eatting bags of raw green beans and carrots for nothing).

Day 8: Chest/Back
I'm getting off-track on posting here. Fricken weekends.
Monday morning I had a dentist appointment which went well, so I had to push off my workout until the afternoon. Suprisingly, I was actually really motivated to do the workout once we found out the SC2 servers were down until July 27th!
Boy did I sweat! It was an awesome workout. I set my goal to do 1-2 more than I had last week for the first round, then do as many as possible for the second round. Worked out generally well, but at the end I was pretty pooped and couldn't push out as many Diamond pushups or Dive bombers as I'd like. But it felt really good when I was done!

Day 7: KenpoX + Bonus Ab Ripper
Sunday morning I was really motivated to do a workout. I really like KenpoX, it gets me sweaty and it's not a total killer workout. I think I'll have to try Carl's suggestion and use small weights to make the workout a bit tougher.
Sunday night I traveled to my parents for a home cooked meal. It wasn't the healthiest. I had 2 hotdog rolls filled with italian sausage, cheese, peppers and onions. I had a scoop of pasta salad. For desert, I had some zucchini cake and 2 scoops of Sorbet. I had enough splurging for a week, back to reality now.
I'm posting this on Monday, day 8, after my dentist appointment. I wasn't able to do my workout this morning and I hope to bust it out when I get home!!

Day 6: Nothing!
Ok, my first Saturday while doing the workout, and I slacked off because I was up later than normal.
