What Would Don Draper Do?
I just finished ABX and I did all the moves except for some in the Fifor Scissors and the Oblique V-ups. I've never done that much. I don't know if it is was because I waited a couple hours after doing the main workout...or because I did it on a Plyo day (did it today cause I didn't have time yesterday).
I just wish my gut would start to go away.
I guess that's more a result of the Plyo, Cardio, Kenpo, etc though....
there are still a few moves i can't do: the heel ups, notably. but i've noticed that i'm able to do all 25 of a lot of the moves without too much pain and discomfort now.
but after ab ripper x, it's my inner thighs that yell.
Im so pissed i cant do this till i get my knee figured out. I was really liking it. I go thurs to a orthopedic specialist to see if they can find whats wrong. I want to get back into this bad. I have stuck with the diet since i started. Including the 2 weeks of P90 and the 2 weeks since not being able to exercise i am down 16 lbs
congrats!
good luck with seeing the specialist.

good stuff.
i still weigh the same. yet, i've noticed that my clothes are starting to feel different. my dress/suit pants certainly feel looser now. and one of my suit jackets that was a big snug around the chest feels like there's more room too.
i'm not an expert on how this all works, so can i assume that since i still weigh the same, some of the fat has gone and i've developed more muscle?
and chest exercises still kick my butt as well. a lot of those pushups are my everest.

I was honest kind of surprised when I weighed myself last weekend. The last time I weighed myself before that was the very end of February. So it was a little over a month. I was down 12 pounds.
I don't know if I was holding a lot of water weight...I don't think I dropped THAT much fat...I am/was a fairly lean person to begin with. It was hweird....

Opps, i posted in the what are you doing today thread, Doc said every thing was normal inside and that i probably slightly stretched a tendon or ligament. He said to use a neoprene knee brace and take aleve for a anti-inflammatory. He said i shouldnt be concerned with the sound im hearing He said the sound and any discomfort should go away (and truthfully it is much les than when i first complained about it) He said that i can do P90x (they are a orthopedic sports rehab facility) and that they highly recommend the workout.
SOOOOOO........ Today i started the routine. I decided to start from Day 1 all over as i wanted a fresh start . I just finished day 1. Man i forgot how much it kicks your butt.
I decided to start with new measurements and weights. I just need to take new start photos (as i forgot to last time)
Wish me luck! Starting weight today was 222 (6'5") original starting weight was 236

It will help. I dont follow real well (kinda hard with a wife and teenager to get them to eat the same meals) but i try to stick as well as i can to the healthy stuff. I got in the habit of making smoothies for breakfast (protein ones as well) and the whole fam likes them. We are going thru a lot of fruit now and i stopped buying soda for the house(unless we have company) I have lost at iits highest 16lbs and i have dropped 1 pant size in the waist. Drinking water has helped.

Feeling good after Day 1, a little sore but i want that. Ill be doing Plyo tonight.
#462
Last night was teh first time I stopped during the middle of a workout. Plyo. Go figure.
It wasn't 'harder' than any other time in the past. I think I just wasn't in the right mindset. I got almost done with the 3rd set before I just couldn't do it anymore.

I like that workout too.
Just wait till you get till you get to B&B though. You'll just be getting used to Shoulders and Arms, then BAM!!!
You know those Mary Katherines everyone loves so much?
Just wait till you get to Corn Cob pull ups in B&B. They are the Mary Katherines of upper body.

I always see p90x on commercials, but never really tried it. 2 years ago I weighed a whopping 324 and today I'm down close to a 100 pounds and weight in at 230 and I'm 6"2, I've been between 240-230 for the past 6 months and can't go any lower for some reason, I feel like by body reached a stop point in loading weight. I try to switch up my workouts When I started to work out in 2008 I used to do 2 hours of cardio plus 1 hour of weights and abs 6 times a week but now I do about 1-130 max plus abs, now since it's nice out I also bike ride 30 miles 3 times a week on top of the going yo the gum 4-5 days, I've been using redline energydrink/fat burner And it helps alot for a while until ur body gets used to it and doesn't perform like it did when I first started drinking it, but I'm still going strong on the stair master at the gym now as we speak.

You should really try P90x. It is HARD, but it works. If you have the mindset for it, it's probably the best thing you could do.
Either that, or Insanity. Insanity from what I understand is a little more fast paced and focused on cardio more, whereas P90x is a little more geared towards weights, etc.

also, it appears to work EVERY muscle in the body. at least it feels that way.
i'm sore in spots and muscles i never knew existed.
been sick the last couple of days so i haven't had a chance to work out lately. but it's been encouraging when i notice the changes in my body, inside and out.

Just finished Shoulders and Arms and Ab ripper-x. time to recover

I've slimmed up some....as well as put on a little muscle...my stomach included. But I have a feeling to really make it go away, it's gonna take the rest of the 2 months of following the diet pretty strict to really drop to the body fat % that really starts making it go away.
