Now I'm just going through the motions

Progress slowed greatly as week 7 started. It was our Spring Break, however, we had games Monday-Saturday. Nice break, huh? I was able to get a few workouts in, however, I am not happy with what I was able to get done. I still refuse to get up at 5am to workout on a regular basis. I actually got in to the SGP weight room and did my own leg workout with the machines and weights in there. Phase 2 was supposed to be over with week 7, but because of the poor week, I decided to repeat that week for week 8. I will skip the rest week and get started tomorrow with Phase 3 of P90x. As you can see from the stats below, I have lost a total of 23lbs since January 17th.

I recently purchased the new Ipad 2. We were able to test out the new camera on it by making a video call to Mom and Dad in China. They haven't seen me since Christmas time and I think were thoroughly impressed by my transformation. PS - I love the new Ipad!!!

I am a little upset that I continue to have to miss workouts. At this point it has become unavoidable. I have worked out on every day that we haven't had a game, but game days have been tough. I am just getting home too late. We host one final tournament next weekend and then I should be able to get back into a regular routine. Week 6 stats:

1/17/2011 - Started Diet - 207lbs
1/29/2011 - Started P90x - 202lbs
3/11/2011 - Morning Weight - 188lbs

Staying incredibly busy with baseball. I have missed a workout here and there, but I am making sure that I am not missing any of the strength ones. Here are the week 5 stats:

1/17/2011 - Started Diet - 207lbs
1/29/2011 - Started P90x - 202lbs
3/4/2011 - Morning Weight - 189lbs

Down 18lbs since January 17th!!

I wasn't able to workout yesterday. We hosted a JV tournament this weekend at our field and I was busy all day today. I will back everything up a day.

Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

It felt good to get back into the strength workouts again this morning. This was a new one. I liked how it combined all of the main "push" muscle into one big workout. I should be feeling this one tomorrow for sure.

I will now sit back and listen to the Rangers first Spring Training game online. What a great way to spend my Sunday.

No, I have not quit the program. It has been a busy week. Baseball season is officially underway, but my progress has continued. I was able to get my workouts in this week. I even did one in the coaches locker room this morning. The new one this week was the core synergistics video. This one was the toughest workout so far. So much effort put forth in keeping the core muscles tight while completing each exercise. This week was designed to allow the major muscle groups time to recover for week 5. I am now down 16lbs total since I started my diet on January 17th, and 11lbs since I started P90x.

1/17/2011 - Started Diet - 207lbs

My JV squad is now 3-0 on the season and will play in the championship of our Warrior Classic tomorrow night against Keller.

To day marks the start of week 4, which happens to be a core centered week of workouts designed to allow the major muscle groups to recover before getting into them again in week 5. Today I woke up early and got my workout in before I went up the the ballfield. Our bus was leaving at 10:30am and I knew that by the time I got home, I was not going to be in the mood to workout.

My JV team played very well today in our last scrimmage game. We open up our regular season schedule on Monday when we will travel to play Mesquite Poteet. We are excited to get the season started and I am looking forward to another great season of baseball at South Grand Prairie.

Week 3 has come to a close today. I only dropped one pound, however I think this is mainly because I have started adding some muscle at a higher rate than before. I have shredded a lot of fat in the first several weeks of this thing. I am feeling stronger with each passing day, and I can tell that I am adding muscle. I start week 4 tomorrow which involves no strength training. It is mainly a week centered on the core of the body and allows the major muscle groups to rest before ramping it up again in week 5.
