MONDAY - MARCH 27, 2017 - P90X3 - Isometrix
The workout flew by today. I don't think I dd as well as I did last time. My balance stunk on me left leg and I didn't hold most of the plank moves the entire 45 seconds.
Tome: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 126; Avg Heart Rate: 102; Max Heart Rate: 136.
TUESDAY - MARCH 28, 2017 - P90X3 - Accelerator
I've modified the official P90X3 schedule a bit to make it a bit like the original P90X. This is the Recovery Week, so I had Dynamix scheduled for today, Accelarator for tomorrow, Decelerator for Friday. In the original "X" the harder Core Synergistics is on Tuesday and Friday, so I'd been wondering if Accelerator should be on Tuesday, but just never made the change. Today I was set to do Dynamix, and eve had the disc in the DVD player. I went to log my workout on the website and the default schedule had Accelerator schedule. I looked upon that as a sign to test the change I'd been considering, so I did Accelerator. It worked out well, and I think it'll be a permanent schedule change. I think I did OK on the workout itself. I may have done a few less reps on a few of the moves, but I never hit pause or even stopped mid-move to catch my breath. I wasn't able to do that until last month.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 295; Avg Heart Rate: 127; Max Heart Rate: 153.
WEDNESDAY - MARCH 29, 2017 - P90X3 - Dynamix
I'm glad I got Accelerator out of the way yesterday, as I was needing something a bit lighter today. Although it doesn't appear to be very intense, and probably isn't, I do work up a sweat.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 158; Avg Heart Rate: 104; Max Heart Rate: 128.
THURSDAY - MARCH 30, 2017 - P90X3 - Pilates X
I don't know if I'm just getting used to this routine, or what it was, but today was by far my best effort at it. I was inhaling and exhaling more consistently when I was supposed to, and was nailing the moves where you roll back and then forward into different positions. It wasn't perfect by any means, but I'm very happy with the progress I've made with it.
Time: 30 Minutes; Calories Burned: 94; Avg Heart Rate: 95; Max Heart Rate: 119.
FRIDAY - MARCH 31, 2017 - P90X3 - Decelerator
I woke up very early today and couldn't get back to sleep. I knew I had this workout to get in today, the last "hard" workout of the round, and it's not my favorite. I was dreading knowing I'd have to do it when I got home tonight. The thought crossed my mind: "why not do it now and get it over with? ". So, I did. At 6:00 this morning. I wish I could say it was my best effort at it, but it wasn't. I was stumbling with my balance through most of the workout, and my strength, energy, and concentration were real low, probably because I didn't eat anything beforehand. A bit of a lesson learned, but I got it done.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 234; Avg Heart Rate: 112; Max Heart Rate: 137.
SATURDAY - APRIL 1, 2017 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
Last workout of the round.I got it done mid-morning. My balance wasn't that great once again, especially on my left leg. My flexibility is night and day better from Week 1. Today I was able to grab my right ankle with my left hand in Dog Dancer, which is the first time I've done that in years. Overall, it was am OK, but not outstanding workout. I guess I'm just setting my expectation higher than what they used to be, which is a good thing. As I said, I've come a long way since Week 1.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 110: Avg Heart Rate: 100; Max Heart Rate: 118.
SUNDAY - APRIL 2, 2017 - Rest
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 193.2 (+1.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 20.8% (-0.2%)
This is the first weight gain I've had in 11 weeks. I'm not sure where it came from, but for some reason I had a gut feeling it was going to happen. The decrease in body fat is a positive, though.
Overall, I lost exactly 13 lbs and 3.7% Body Fat over the 13 week program. I'm very happy about that.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
Of course I'm not happy about the weight gain this week, but I'm continuing to do what I've been doing. I liked swapping the Accelerator and Dynamix days as it gave me more of a physical break in the middle of the week. Doing Decelerator at 6am on Friday wasn't a complete success, but all were learning experiences.
THOUGHTS ON THE ROUND
The big thing was I finally stuck to an eating plan, which was simply eat 500 less calories a day than what I burned. I started it in week 3, stuck to it, and it worked. Nutritional value of what I ate wasn't factored in. That's the next step. I now know what's needed. The workouts went very well. As the weight was coming off I found I was able to do things I couldn't do before. This was especially noticeable in my flexibility in Yoga and Pilates routines. My stamina also increased a bit. For example, I'm able to do all the Crawly Plyo Pushups. My pullups got better. There are still many areas I can get better at, but overall this 13 weeks was the best of done in years. Again, I'm very happy at what I accomplished.
What's next? I'll probably take 2 weeks off from doing an official program. I'm not sure which one I'll do next, but I might take another whack at P90X3. I really like it.

P90X3 - ROUND 5 - WEEK 12 - WEEK OF 03/20/17
MONDAY - MARCH 20, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Upper
I wasn't looking forward to this one today. In fact, I wasn't looking forward to it since yesterday. I had my morning Shakeology and my salad for lunch, which usually satisfy me, but for some reason I was starving after my salad. When I got home I relaxed for a bit, but wanted to get the workout over with, so I went right at it, even though I wasn't mentally ready. I had half a spoonful of peanut butter to give me a little energy before I started. The workout went OK. I want to say it wasn't as good as last Thursday's, but that's not entirely true, as a did a bunch more pullups than last week. I struggled a bit more on the split lunges, but I was holding the weights facing forward like Sean was instead of sideways like I had been. This small adjustment seemed to make the move tougher for some reason. Again, I went faster than they did on the video, and was finishing a fifth full round of the moves as they were finishing their fourth. My goal was to get a round ahead so I could do the very slow set of Push Up Bird Dog Crunches as they were doing them. By the time they got to the fourth push up I went to my knees in exhaustion. I then finished off the last eight at regular speed. I was a bit disappointed I couldn't finish them as they did, but it was still a good workout.
Time: 30 minutes: Calories Burned: 268; Avg Heart Rate: 122; Max Heart Rate: 146.
TUESDAY - MARCH 21, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Lower
I just finished this thing and I'm drenched in sweat. I used 25's on the Knee Drops and DS Double L's and 10's on the Bounding Squats, even though on those I again went up farther instead of forward and back. My balance is getting a little better on the Knee Drops as I bringing my free leg behind my standing one instead of letting it swing out. Little things like that can help.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 268; Avg Heart Rate: 116; Max Heart Rate: 155.
WEDNESDAY - MARCH 22, 2017 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
I bought some toe spacers, which look like little plastic brass knuckles. You place them between yor toes to spread them out, giving you a larger platform to balance on, After years of wearing shoes that might be a little tight in the toe area, my toes had squished themselves together, and I'd formed a bunion on my left foot, which I'm sure wasn't helping my balance. These things felt really comfortable, and I really noticed I ha better balance early on. Whether this was just false confidence or not, I don't know, but it certainly felt good. By the time I got to the Balance Postures however, I started doubting myself again and couldn't balance too well n my left leg again, as usual. I'm going to give them a chance, though. It can't hurt.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 120; Avg Heart Rate: 100; Max Heart Rate: 119.
THURSDAY - MARCH 23, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Upper
The last few times I'd gone 5 full rounds through the moves because I was going faster than they were. Part of that is I'm not able to do the full 12 pullups in each set and I want to keep moving, not sitting around. Today I was thinking of slowing it down and going at their pace and doing the extra half bonus round that they did. It wasn't long before I found myself going faster and I figured I'd end up doing the full five rounds again. I finished Round 5 while they were still finishing round 4, so I decided to do a full 6th round. I got it in, but it was ugly. By that time I was only able to get in 3 or 4 pullups each time, and I wasn't going real low on the Bird Dog Pushups. So, while saying I got in 6 rounds sounds good, it may not have been 6 great rounds. But as Tony says at the beginning, I showed up, and I finished the full 30 minutes.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 283; Avg Heart Rate: 125; Max Heart Rate: 151.
FRIDAY - MARCH 24, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Lower
I used the toe spacers for the first three rounds to see if my balance would be improved, but it wasn't noticeable, probably because I was constantly moving. They started sliding off, so I took them off for the fourth round. Again, no noticeable difference. I used 25's and 10's again, as I have been. It wnt well. Not much to say.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 269; Avg Heart Rate: 116; Max Heart Rate: 155.
SATURDAY - MARCH 25, 2017 - P90X3 - Pilates X
Not much to say. I did pretty well, comparable to last week when I kept of with all the reps and was able to perform most of them. Some were uglier than others, but I'm not as flexible as Stephanie or Shawna, either.
Time: 30 minites; Calories Burned: 130; Avg Heart Rate: 101; Max Heart Rate: 133.
SUNDAY - MARCH 26, 2017 - P90X3 - X3 Ab Ripper
Got through it OK, but for some reason I was losing my balance a bit on the Hip Drop move. I've never had a problem with it before, so I don't know what is was. Maybe I was rushing it. Otherwise, it felt good.
Time: 15 minutes; Calories Burned: 78; Avg Heart Rate: 100; Max Heart Rate: 130.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 192.0 (-1.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 21.0% (-0.4%)
Once again, both are good numbers. I'm working at it.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The two Elite / Complex workouts are tough, but I like them. I can really feel the soreness, specially on the Complex Upper workout. I'm doing more pullups than ever, and I can feel it in my back. Weight loss is going well and I'm very happy I've finally found something I'm sticking to. I'm doing things in these workouts I haven't done in years.

P90X3 - ROUND 5 - WEEK 11 - WEEK OF 03/13/17
MONDAY - MARCH 13, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Upper
The next two weeks will be the Elite DVD's, Complex Upper and Complex Lower. I'll be doing each two times each week. Today I did OK. I went a bit faster than they did. I can't do as many pullups as they can, but I definitely feel myself getting stronger with them. The X Plyo Pushups were a bit ugly, but I did my best. I used 15 lb weights on the Lunge Thrust Presses which tired me a bit. There's definitely room for improvement and growth, but overall I'm somewhat pleased with what I did for today.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 264; Avg Heart Rate: 122; Max Heart Rate: 151.
TUESDAY - MARCH 14, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Lower
On paper, this one doesn't look too tough, but I always work up a sweat. Maybe because there's no down time and you're always moving. I used 20 lb weights on the Knee Drops and DS Double L moves and 10's on the Bounding Split Squats, though those were ugly because I don't have the coordination down. I only did two hops on the Speed Skaters as I wasn't feeling coordinated on those either. Otherwise it went OK.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 238; Avg Heart Rate: 115; Max Heart Rate: 147.
WEDNESDAY - MARCH 15, 2017 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
I'm a bit sore from the last two days, and I did a bit of snow shoveling today, so I was glad it was a yoga day to stretch out a bit. My balance wasn't great, but my flexibility was OK. Nothing too exciting. I'm still holding my breath too much trying to make things perfect, when I should be relaxing on some of these moves. Something to work on.
Time: 30 minutes: Calories Burned: 133; Avg Heart Rate: 105; Max Heart Rate: 125.
THURSDAY - MARCH 16, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Upper
I was dreading this one a bit all day long. I'm still a bit sore and didn't know how I'd get through it, even though I knew I would. I didn't wait too long after I got home from work to get it done. As I do with The Challenge. I go a bit faster than they do on the DVD. For some reason I feel if I'm waiting too long between moves, my muscles will cool down and I won't be able to do as much. I finished five full sets in the time it took them to do four, so I just rested during the 2+ minute burnout round. I wasn't doing as many pullups as they were, but I did do more than on Monday, and I was also much better on the press lunges. This is a tough workout and I'm feeling good about what I'm able to do.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 262; Avg Heart Rate: 122; Max Heart Rate: 150.
FRIDAY - MARCH 17, 2017 - P90X3 - Complex Lower
I upped my weight from 20's to 25's on the Knee Drops and the DS Double L's. I was going to wait until next week to do it, but thought I'd try it out on the first round and see how it went. It well well, I think I actually did better with the heavier weights. I'm still uncoordinated on the Bounders so I just stayed in place, but jumped higher. That seemed to work well too, I increased my hops from 2 to 3 on the Speed Skaters. The Stabilizer moves seemed much easier too. I'm feeling really good afterwards. Only bummer is that I ate a tuna sub for lunch because everyone else was ordering one, even though I'd brought a salad, and didn't really want the sub. Used up most of my calories for the day and the salad would have been healthier. Oh, well. Move on and think twice about it next time.

SATURDAY - MARCH 18, 2017 - P90X3 - Pilates X
Although I wasn't feeling it, I think this was the best I've ever done on this routine. There were only a few moves I didn't do as they did, and those were the Tony's T's and Clam Killer, as I was on my hip and not in full side plank. I was pretty coordinated on the moves where you roll on your back and up into different poses. I've never been that consistent with those before. I was better with my breathing too.

P90X3 - ROUND 5 - WEEK 10 - WEEK OF 03/06/17
MONDAY - MARCH 6, 2017 - P90X3 - Eccentric Upper
Not a real good day. I was real tired and feeling sluggish, unfocused, and irritable at work today. I didn't eat real good yesterday (extra helpings of ice cream I bought on a whim), so maybe that carried over to today a bit. I came home and took about an hour nap, then did my workout. I can't say it was real bad, but my numbers were down a bit from a few weeks ago on the pullups. Even though I've done this one numerous times, it just felt like the pace today was too fast and the breaks between the moves weren't long enough for me to recover. I normally will hit pause a few times during this workout, but today I didn't hit it until there were only a few minutes left. I'm guessing I was just trying to push myself to get myself out of my funk, but it didn't really work. It was almost counter productive. I'm thinking I might get more out of it if I did hit pause a few times and give myself a chance to get my breath back and focus more on the next move, instead of rushing through things, especially when I've not feeling up to par. Lesson learned.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 237; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Max Heart Rate: 144.
TUESDAY - MARCH 7, 2017 - P90X3 - Triometrics
It was a much better day today. I was much more relaxed and alert. This is a tough workout for me in areas because of my lack of balance, especially on my left leg. I really tried today to find some way to balance on it, but my ankles keep rolling in and knocking me off balance. I guess I have to keep working on it. On most of the explosive moves I did Ok, but I've done better at times. My quads were really burning on some of them.

WEDNESDAY - MARCH 8, 2017 - P90X3 - Incinerator
Not much to say. I pretty much matched my numbers from last time, maybe doing an extra rep here and there. One break as usual, after the Dolphin shoulder thingys. I did crash during the Burnout though. I lasted about a minute and a half, the laid on the floor for the last 40 seconds. My arms feel like jello now.

THURSDAY - MARCH 9, 2017 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
I tried to stay relaxed throughout the workout. It worked a little bit. The 30 minutes flew by for some reason. I can feel my flexibility improving a bit each week.

FRIDAY - MARCH 10, 2017 - P90X3 - Eccentric Lower
My mind was elsewhere but I got everything in. The time few by. I used the same weights I used last time. My balance was a bit off, but that's usual.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 170; Avg Heart Rate: 105; Max Heart Rate: 135.
SATURDAY - MARCH 11, 2017 - P90X3 - MMX
I kept up with almost all their reps, only falling behind on a few of the sprawls in the third set. I worked up a great sweat.

SUNDAY - MARCH 12, 2017 - P90X3- X3 Ab Ripper
I did all the reps again and felt good.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I'm not happy with the weight staying the same, and a bit stumped. There were a few days I went over my calorie budget a bit, but I didn't think it was by that much. Guess I need to pay more attention and tighten things back up a bit. The workouts went well.
Not a real good day. I was real tired and feeling sluggish, unfocused, and irritable at work today. I didn't eat real good yesterday (extra helpings of ice cream I bought on a whim), so maybe that carried over to today a bit. I came home and took about an hour nap, then did my workout. I can't say it was real bad, but my numbers were down a bit from a few weeks ago on the pullups. Even though I've done this one numerous times, it just felt like the pace today was too fast and the breaks between the moves weren't long enough for me to recover. I normally will hit pause a few times during this workout, but today I didn't hit it until there were only a few minutes left. I'm guessing I was just trying to push myself to get myself out of my funk, but it didn't really work. It was almost counter productive. I'm thinking I might get more out of it if I did hit pause a few times and give myself a chance to get my breath back and focus more on the next move, instead of rushing through things, especially when I've not feeling up to par. Lesson learned.

TUESDAY - MARCH 7, 2017 - P90X3 - Triometrics
It was a much better day today. I was much more relaxed and alert. This is a tough workout for me in areas because of my lack of balance, especially on my left leg. I really tried today to find some way to balance on it, but my ankles keep rolling in and knocking me off balance. I guess I have to keep working on it. On most of the explosive moves I did Ok, but I've done better at times. My quads were really burning on some of them.
