MONDAY - JANUARY 26, 2015 - P90 Sculpt C
Feeling real tired and burned out today. I did pretty good on the workout in general, but still struggle with the balance moves. After almost seven years of trying I'm not sure I'll ever get them, but I'll keep trying.
Time: 44 minutes; Calories Burned: 506; Avg Heart Rate: 130; Max Heart Rate: 167.
TUESDAY - JANUARY 27, 2015 - P90 Sweat C
I got through it OK. I'm still gassed on the last few moves, but that's alright. A funny thing happened in the cool down though. One of my cats loves getting brushed before the workout when he sees me popping in the DVD, and then also when I'm done. He's seen me do Kenpo X about a hundred times and knows when I do the standing quad stretch, the last stretch move, I'm done, so he comes out to get the brush. Today in the cool down, there is a quad stretch, and he came out expecting to be brushed. Unfortunately there are 2 more minutes of stretches after than. The confused look on his face was priceless.

WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 28, 2015 - P90 Speed Sculpt
The only thing Id mention is that I'd done some bicep curls in the morning with real heavy weights (50's - 13 reps with a small break).. My arms felt pumped all day long. When I did this workout in the early evening the 15 lb weights I was using on the two Tricep Kickback moves felt like feathers. I also felt better on both the Eccentric Band Curls and the Regular Bicep Curls (I got 24 reps in with 25 lb weights). Other than that, it was business as usual.

THURSDAY - JANUARY 29, 2015 - P90 Sweat C
Front box! ... Rear Box! ... Spin! ... Downstrike! ... Sprawl! ... Sprawl! ... Freeze! ... Upper Right Box! ... Lower Left Box! ... Sprawl! ... Sprawl! ... Sprawl! ... Are we done yet?
Time: 40 minutes; Calories Burned: 469; Avg Heart Rate: 132; Max Heart Rate: 159.
FRIDAY - JANUARY 30, 2015 - P90 Sculpt C
A good workout. Nothing special to say other than I did a few extra Pushups on a few of the sets. I'm starting to get stressed about my eating. I'm trying to eat better, but the weight isn't coming off, and I don't know what do to. I'm totally lost, and am almost convincing myself it doesn't matter what I eat. Not a good place to be.
Time: 44 minutes; Calories Burned: 475; Avg Heart Rate: 126; Max Heart Rate: 151.
SATURDAY - JANUARY 31, 2015 - P90 Saturday Special
I did OK on this one. It's still not my favorite, but I tried to take each move as it came and did my best.
Time: 27 minutes; Calories Burned: 275; Avg Hear Rate: 121; Max Heart Rate: 144.
SUNDAY - FEBRUARY 1, 2015 - P90 Ab Ripper C
This is one very efficient ab workout. I really like it. All the moves are over in approximately 45 seconds, so if there's one you don't like or struggle with, you're not there forever.
Time: 15 minutes; Calories Burned: 92; Avg Heart Rate: 99; Max Heart Rate: 131.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 201.8 (-0.4 lbs)
Body Fat: 22.9% (-0.2%)
It's a decrease, but I'm not happy with it.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The bad is that I'm feeling I need to eat absolutely 100% perfect for the week to lose even 1 pound, and that's not how I want to live. I'm really been trying to eat much better since late December, but I'm not seeing the results on the scale. It's not like I'm eating a lot of junk either. The good is that I'm feeling much, much stronger in my arms and chest because I've been doing the 50 lb curls here and there. It's a noticeable difference.

P90 - ROUND 1 - WEEK 9 - WEEK OF 1/19/2015
MONDAY - JANUARY 19, 2015 - P90 Sweat C
This is the start of month three and the "C" workouts. This one was pretty much as expected, amped up moves from Sweat B, with two new moves added on to the end. The last move, the Sprawl and Scramble was tiring, and I really slowed down on the last 30 seconds of it. There were also quite a few balance moves involved, some I remember from P90X3 Agility. Overall, it wasn't bad.
Time: 40 minutes; Calories Burned: 440; Avg Heart Rate: 127; Max Heart Rate: 155.
TUESDAY - JANUARY 20, 2015 - P90 Sculpt C
I was really apprehensive about this one because Sculpt B was tough on it's own, and month 3 is supposed to be harder. It turns out this one wasn't so bad. There was less emphasis on pure weights and more on the bands, and even more on balancing. This was basically a P90X3 workout. I liked the moves and I liked the cast, which always makes it more enjoyable.
Time: 44 minutes; Calories Burned: 457; Avg Heart Rate: 123; Max Heart Rate: 153.
WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 21, 2015 - P90 Speed Sweat
A much easier workout than what I've been doing lately. There's really only one "tough" move for me in this one and that is the "Hoppers" (diamond burpees) in part of the first move. Otherwise, it's not that intense. However, I still broke a sweat.
Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 216; Avg Heart Rate: 113; Max Heart Rate: 133.
THURSDAY - JANUARY 22, 2015 - P90 Sculpt C
I did OK on this one today. I upped my weight on the Arc Presses to 25 lbs and 20 lbs on the One-Legged ones. I think I can do even more than that, definitely on the regular ones. On the Eccentric Tricep Extensions I tried something different. When I did them on Tuesday with 15 lb wights I noticed I was dropping my elbows before I started bringing them back into my shoulders. Today I decided to use the bands. I stood with my back to the door (bent over a bit) so the bands were behind me. I then released them back and then brought them to my shoulders slowly. I think this worked better than the weights. Overall, I like the workout, even though as I've mentioned many times before, my balance sucked on the Warrior 3 and Half Moon moves.
Time: 44 minutes; Calories Burned: 487; Avg Heart Rate: 127; Max Heart Rate: 155.
FRIDAY - JANUARY 23, 2015 - P90 Sweat C
I think I can safely say this isn't my favorite workout. Too many downstrikes, sprawls, and scrambles for my liking, but it does make me work up a sweat. By the time I get to the last scramble move, I'm pretty much done. To compound things, somebody brought in a few extra Whopper Jr's and a some fries into the office today. I'd already eaten the salad I'd brought, but once every few months Burger King tastes good to me, so I indulge. Today was that day. I've been eating fairly well the last several weeks, so I shouldn't beat myself up too much, but I just hate to undo what I'm working towards.
Time: 40 minutes; Calories Burned: 422; Avg Heart Rate: 126; Max Heart Rate: 210.
SATURDAY - JANUARY 24, 2015 - P90 Saturday Special
I felt a bit sluggish going into the workout and I'll admit I was "pacing" myelf a bit, especially after the Cross Climber and A Twists. At the end I was feeling really drained, more so than usual. It may be the after affects of the Whopper Jr's.
Time: 27 minutes; Calories Burned: 263; Avg Heart Rate: 119; Max Heart Rate: 140.
SUNDAY - JANUARY 25, 2015 - P90 Ab Ripper C
5 more moves added on to Ab Ripper B, so we're not at 20 moves in just under 15 minutes. Really no time in between moves, so you can really feel it in your abs. Mine feel more tight than sore. Not too many problems today other than the Banana Bikes. I just can't get up, balance, and bicycle fast enough. I got them all in, but they were ugly. Something to work on. Overall, however, I was very pleased, and I like this workout.
Time: 15 minutes; Calories Burned: 94; Avg Heart Rate: 99; Max Heart Rate: 127.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 202.2 (+1.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 23.1% (+0.2%)
I'm extremely frustrated with this. As I've said before, I realize weight isn't the only measuring factor in fitness, but it is one of them. I've been really trying to eat well since late December. I slipped up a bit this week and it really cost me. I'll just keep trying to do the right things. That's all I can do.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I was expecting the "C" workouts to be more intense than the "B" workouts for obvious reasons, but my first impression was that Sculpt "C" was actually a bit easier than Sculpt "B". However, that might not really be the case. While it's different in that it uses bands and balance more than "B", it might actually be more effective. It's definitely more versatile. Sweat "C' was more difficult than "B" simply because it's basically the same as "B" but with more moves added. I also like Ab Ripper C a lot. One other thing I've failed to mention during this program. I'm sore almost every day. I've done P90X numerous times, P90X2, P90X3, Insanity, Asylum, Les Mills Pump, etc, and these supposedly "easier" workouts are still leaving me sore. That's saying something for it.
While we're on the subject of things I haven't mentioned befoe: Once or twice a week, I'm doing bicep curls with 50 lb dumbbells. I'm trying to get 8 reps in each time. This doesn't sound like a lot of reps, but I can really feel the strength in my arms building and also in my abs, as those are working during the curls. This may be adding to my overall soreness also.
Overall, despite the weight gain, I'm definitely feeling more toned, and that's a good feeling.

P90 - ROUND 1 - WEEK 8 - WEEK OF 1/12/2015
MONDAY - JANUARY 12, 2015 - P90 Sculpt B
This is the final week of the "B" workouts. My body is almost always sore (in a good way), so I know things are working. Today's workout went well. I used the same weights as last week, but ran out of gas at the end and only did 16 of the Jump Lunges at the end.
Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 368; Avg Heart Rate: 129; Max Heart Rate: 218.
TUESDAY - JANUARY 13, 2015 - P90 Sweat B
A good workout today. The sprawls aren't killing me as much as they used to and I'm getting in all the Mountain/Cross Climbers. I still work up a sweat though.
Time:35 minutes; Calories Burned: 364; Avg Heart rate: 123; Max Heart Rate: 154.
WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 14, 2015 - P90 Speed Sculpt
This one is getting a bit easier for me. It's roughly the same length as the Sculpt A workout from month one, so it seemed a bit harder the, Now that I'm into the longer Sculpt B (month two) workout, it doesn't seem so bad. However, those Mountain Squats are killers. I still can't get all 16 reps in.
Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 273; Avg Heart Rate: 127; Max Heart Rate: 168.
THURSDAY - JANUARY 15, 2015 - P90 Sweat B
It went well today. I worked up a good sweat and burned a lot of calories for the time involved. The last two days at work I've had a number of cookie/brownie things one of my clients brought in. I haven't been eating that stuff all year, and I could feel myself getting a little hyper, which I didn't like. A good wake up call for me.
Time: 35 minutes; Calories Burned: 413; Avg Heart Rate: 131; Max Heart Rate: 159.
FRIDAY - JANUARY 16, 2015 - P90 Sculpt B
Last time doing this one for a while. Not much to say. The only time I used less weight than last time was on the Renegade Rows, where I grabbed my 20 lb weights out of habit instead of the 25's I've used the last two times. I did finish strong, getting in 30 lunges on the last move.
Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 367; Avg Heart Rate: 128; Max Heart Rate: 156.
SATURDAY - JANUARY 17, 2015 - P90 Horton's Greatest Hits
The one thing I remembered about the only other time I'd done this workout 4 weeks ago was that it kicked my ass. I was almost looking forward to it because I figured I was just having an off day back then and it wouldn't be that hard. It kicked my ass again. I had no strength for the one minute push up sequences (there were 6 of them) and I was also floundering on the two long jumping sequences which followed the pushups. I also modified the Hopscotch move because I can't bounce on my ankles. Again, I was humbled.
Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 434; Avg Heart Rate: 132; Max Heart Rate: 160.
SUNDAY - JANUARY 18, 2015 - P90 Speed Abs
I did better onthis than I did last time, partly because I used a mat instead of doing it on carpet. On the Mountain Climbers I wasn't watching the video and didn't see they were bringing there kness up to their elbows and not up the middle, which is what I was doing. On the second move, the Triggers, I also need to get my knee closer to my elbow. I'll have to make those corrections next time. Even so, this is a tough 7 minutes.
Time: 7 minutes; Calories Burned: 66; Avg Heart Rate: 116; Max Heart Rate: 137.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 200.6 (-1.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 22.9% (no change)
I'm happy. I gave into a few sweets this week, but it didn't get out of control.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I'm still concentrating on eating well, and it's paying off a bit. Not as quickly as I'd like, but slow and steady will work. This was the last week of the "B" workouts. I'm looking forward to the "C" workouts, but am a little leary of what they may bring.

P90 - ROUND 1 - WEEK 7 - WEEK OF 1/5/2015
MONDAY - JANUARY 5, 2015 - P90 Sweat B
All I have to say is that I got through both sets of Mountain Climbers without stopping or holding back. I cleaned out the last of the junk in the refrigerator. I'm feeling pretty good. A big calorie burn for this workout, too.
Time: 35 minutes: Calories Burned: 428; Avg Heart Rate: 133; Max Heart Rate: 162.

THURSDAY - JANUARY 8, 2015 - P90 Sculpt B
I used the same weights as last time on most of the moves, but upped then to 25's on the Renegade Rows. I also did 28 reps on the last move, the Runner's Lunges. I can't go real deep because of my ankles and knees, but did them anyways. I'm still eating pretty good. This is the longest I've sustained that in years. Despite the fact this is a "starter program" and I've been doing all the P90X programs, Insanity, Asylum, Pump, etc, I'm starting to feel really toned.

SATURDAY - JANUARY 10, 2015 - P90 Saturday Special
One of the things I'd noticed about this workout from earlier was that he gives you an early break after 6 moves, then doesn't give you another one. It's seemed strange to me, so I counted the moves today because that's what I do. There were 16 total, so the break wasn't at the halfway point, but what the hell. I didn't have anything else exciting to say. I got through the workout fine, but I still can't do those sitting "A" thingys with my feet off the floor for any length of time. .
Time: 27 minutes; Calories Burned: 267; Avg Heart Rate: 120; Max Heart Rate: 141.
SUNDAY - JANUARY 11, 2015 - P90 Ab Ripper B
I did Ok on all the moves except the last one, Banana Bikes, which I butchered.
Time: 14 minutes; Calories Burned: 85; Avg Heart Rate: 98; Max Heart Rate: 118.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 201.8 (-0.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 22.9% (-0.5%)
I'm a bit frustrated the weight isn't moving a lot, but the decrease in Body Fat is a huge number. I'm really trying to eat better, and in reality I am. I need to stay the course and things will happen.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The above weigh in comments pretty much summed things up. The workouts went well. They're getting a bit easier in spots, but they're still tiring me out in a good way. I know I'm certainly feeling more toned. That could be due to the eating, but most likely a combination of that and the workouts.
All I have to say is that I got through both sets of Mountain Climbers without stopping or holding back. I cleaned out the last of the junk in the refrigerator. I'm feeling pretty good. A big calorie burn for this workout, too.

Time: 35 minutes; Calories Burned: 366; Avg Heart Rate: 123; Max heart Rate: 153.
SATURDAY - JANUARY 10, 2015 - P90 Saturday Special
One of the things I'd noticed about this workout from earlier was that he gives you an early break after 6 moves, then doesn't give you another one. It's seemed strange to me, so I counted the moves today because that's what I do. There were 16 total, so the break wasn't at the halfway point, but what the hell. I didn't have anything else exciting to say. I got through the workout fine, but I still can't do those sitting "A" thingys with my feet off the floor for any length of time. .
Time: 27 minutes; Calories Burned: 267; Avg Heart Rate: 120; Max Heart Rate: 141.
SUNDAY - JANUARY 11, 2015 - P90 Ab Ripper B
I did Ok on all the moves except the last one, Banana Bikes, which I butchered.
Time: 14 minutes; Calories Burned: 85; Avg Heart Rate: 98; Max Heart Rate: 118.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 201.8 (-0.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 22.9% (-0.5%)
I'm a bit frustrated the weight isn't moving a lot, but the decrease in Body Fat is a huge number. I'm really trying to eat better, and in reality I am. I need to stay the course and things will happen.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The above weigh in comments pretty much summed things up. The workouts went well. They're getting a bit easier in spots, but they're still tiring me out in a good way. I know I'm certainly feeling more toned. That could be due to the eating, but most likely a combination of that and the workouts.
