Day Three: Shoulders & Arms

COMPLETED!

This workout seemed so much easier than Plyometrics! I'm guessing since it didn't have as much cardio, I need to buy the dumbbells! This stuff just keeps getting more and more expensive. Keeping up with the diet and purchasing all the equipment!

Ab Ripper X was tough though! I can't off the ground all the way just by a crunch with nothing to hold my feet down yet. I'm sure I will soon thought! I'm still loving the p90x and I'm hoping I'll keep it going and don't give up or not make time for it. Bring it!

Day Two: Plyometrics

Oh man, I really loved this one! A lot of jumping! Out of everyone I talked to, everyone seems to hate this one the most, but I really liked it. Just movements, no weights or push-ups or pull-ups or even bands. Just moving around, squats, jumping, over & over & over & over & over again!

I drank my first Whey Protein supplement today. It wasn't near as bad as I thought it was going to be! I need to make time to do the workouts during the day time when I have a little more energy. The last 2 nights it's not till around 11pm when I do the workout. Go to bed around 1am and get up at 6am! Only 5 hours of sleep and P90X is saying we need at least 7! Gotta make the time though... just hard when you have 3 little one's that will be wanting to jump all over me and I want to be able to spend time with them when I can and of course my awesome wife, Staci, too! Heading to the shower and bed now!

Day One: Chest & Back and Ab Ripper

Completed & I really like this. I am going to be so sore and already am! The Ab Ripper was really tough! Time for a shower, I stink!
