MONDAY - FEBRUARY 25, 2019 - P90X2 - Chest + Shoulders + Tri's
Poor effort. I was tired and winded going into it. I didn't have the energy or desire to push myself. The gas tank was empty so to speak. I did pretty close to what I did two weeks ago, but not much more, and in a few cases a little less. Still, I got it done.

TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 26, 2019 - P90X2 - Plyocide
Last time doing this workout for this round. I've done it on ten consecutive Tuesdays. I was feeling a bit more energized than usual at the start. I'm thinking I probably did a bit better than usual, but it's hard to tell with this workout. Anyways, I feel good about it.
Time: 55 minutes: Calories burned: 516; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Intensity: 8; Form: 7.
WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 27, 2019 - P90X2 - Recovery + Mobility
I really, really, really like having this workout mid-week each week. Aside from relaxing the body, it also relaxes the mind, which is so under rated. Today I concentrated on my back and shoulders during the foam rolling section. I still have trouble with the toe touches, but it's been like that forever. I'll keep working at it, but that might be just the way it is.
Time: 68 minutes: Calories Burned: 318; Avg Heart Rate: 96; Intensity: 8; Form: 7.
THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 28, 2019 - P90X2 - V Sculpt
A bit of a mixed message today. I did OK on what I did do, but I could have done much more. I used 25's on most of the moves, but early on they felt light. Instead of increasing to 30's or more I played it safe and stuck with the 25's. Near the end, on the overhead pullovers and started to pick up a 50 lb dumbbell. It felt a bit heavy, so I grabbed a 40 lb one instead. I could have done the 50. This was a perfect time to extend myself and I let it pass. I was OK on the pull-ups for me. I felt a bit stronger than usual and did what I could with those.
Time: 53 minutes: Calories Burned: 479; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Intensity: 6; Form: 7.
FRIDAY - MARCH 1, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Yoga
My balance was bad from the start. By the time I got to the Half Moons I could barely get into the start of the move. Other than that sequence, things were average. The Single, Double, Triple Warrior One sequence is always tough with all the push-ups, but I always get through it. I love the floor moves for the last 20 minutes. They leave me relaxed when I'm done.
Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 425; Avg Heart Rate: 101; Intensity: 7; Form:7.
SATURDAY - MARCH 2, 2019 - P90X2 - Base + Back
This was probably my best effort at this one this round. I started with 10 of the No Kip Pull-ups. I've only done 10 a few times this round. I actually felt like I could have done more, but my hands were slipping off the bar. I also dis a few more pull-ups than usual on a few of the other moves. On the down side, I stayed at 20 reps on the plyo moves. I was thinking of going to 25, but petered out on the first plyo move, the Frog Hops. Overall, it was a good workout.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 465; Avg Heart Rate: 113; Intensity: 7; Form: 7.
SUNDAY - MARCH 3, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Ab Ripper
No issues. It went well. I went a touch quick on some of the moves and didn't hold them as long as they did, but it wasn't by much.
Time: 16 minutes; Calories Burned: 100; Avg Heart Rate: 99; Intensity: 8; Form: 9.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 175.8 (-0.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.1% (+0.1%)
I seem to be stuck around 175 to 176.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The theme for the week seemed to be me not pushing myself to do better than last time, but I still got in good workouts. I was encouraged with Saturday's pull-ups. I still could be eating better, but the stresses of life get the best of me.

WEEK OF 02/18/19 - P90X2 - ROUND 3 - WEEK 9
MONDAY - FEBRUARY 18, 2019 - P90X2 - Chest + Back + Balance
I was noticing early on that my numbers on a lot of moves were lower than the last few times I did this, especially on the pull-ups. I'm feeling the onset of a cold coming on, plus I'm not getting enough sleep, so I'm sure those were factors. I tried to compensate by trying to squeeze in a few extra push-ups during the second half. I succeeded a few times, but to be honest, I think my form was taking a hit. I guess I can just chalk it up to not having it today. But the effort was there.
Time: 59 minutes; Calories Burned: 508; Avg Heart Rate: 115: Intensity: 8; Form: 6.
TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 19, 2019 - P90X2 - Plyocide
Horrible effort. I got to the second move, Killer Katherine Lunges, and couldn't figure out how to get my feet off the floor and lunge. On some of the faster moves like the Side to Side and Cross Hops I lost track of my count and quit a few seconds early. It wasn't all hopeless, but it wasn't good.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 479; Avg Heart Rate: 114; Intensity: 5; Form: 6.
WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 20, 2019 - P90X2 - Recovery + Mobility
Very relaxing. I surprised myself on the touch downs, where on the first set, I actually did a few without tapping my foot.
Time: 57 minutes; Calories Burned: 242; Avg Heart Rate: 90; Intensity/Relaxation: 8; Form: 9.
THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 21, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Shoulders and Arms
I did good with this workout two weeks ago. I repeated the pattern, First round, balance right leg on medicine ball. Second round, balance left leg on medicine ball. Third round, both legs on the floor with heavier weights. It worked again. I increased my reps on a few moves. I used 40's on the Balance Curls in the third round. I got eight ugly reps in. When I'm consistently using heavier weights like in P90X or the One On One's, 40's are usually not a problem, but X2 isn't reliant on heavier weights, so I struggled a bit with those, but overall it was another good workout.
Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 532; Avg Heart Rate: 124; Intensity: 8; Form: 8.
FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 22, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Yoga
This was a pretty good yoga session. I just stayed within myself and concentrated on the moves. My mind wasn't wandering. Again, the only struggles were on a few of the Half Moons and the Wraps.
Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 507; Avg Heart Rate: 108; Intensity: 8; Form:8.
SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 23, 2019 - P90X2 - Base + Back
On Saturdays I usually dawdle around and get my workout done in the early evening. Today I forced myself to get it done in the early afternoon. Again, I went faster than they did and finished about eight minutes before they did. It's not a race with me, but I'm doing less pull-ups than they are and I don't like the down time. I tried wearing winter gloves on the first few sets of pull-ups to see if I could get a more comfortable grip on the bar, but that wasn't the case. I did about as many pull-ups as last time, and again did 20 reps on the plyo moves. My legs weren't working on a few of the early plyo moves. Not a great workout, but not bad either.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 520; Avg Heart Rate: 119; Intensity: 8; Form: 6.
SUNDAY - FEBRUARY 24, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Ab Ripper
I got through all the moves without touching down. I went a few seconds fast on a few of them, but other than it, it was exquisite,
Time: 16 minutes; Calories Burned: 116; Avg Heart Rate: 104; Intensity: 8; Form: 9.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 176.0 (+0,8 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.0 (-0,2%)
I'm still not eating great, and that was especially the case on Saturday. Last year I was losing weight without trying and I guess I'm getting a little cocky and expecting that to continue without being smart about it.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I'm not happy about the weight gain. I need to smarten up. Some of the workouts this week went well, like Shoulders and Arms, others not so well. My focus is not always there. I'm waiting for things to happen instead of making them happen.

WEEK OF 02/11/19 - P90X2 - ROUND 3 - WEEK 8
MONDAY - FEBRUARY 11, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Chest + Shoulders + Triceps
For some reason I wasn't pushing myself to beat my numbers from two weeks ago. There were too many moves where I could have pushed myself to do more reps, but I didn't. It seemed my mindset was to equal my numbers from then, but not look past them. A bit of a disappointment in that regard. With that said, it was still a good workout. I was tiring myself throughout.
Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 477; Avg Heart Rate: 123; Intensity: 7; Form: 8.
TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 12, 2019 - P90X2 - Plyocide
I did OK. Nothing special. I fumbled a bit on the Toe Tap 360's. Other than that, it was the usual numbers from previous weeks. I pushed as hard as usual.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 507; Avg Heart Rate: 117; Intensity: 7; Form: 7.
WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 13, 2019 - P90X2 - Recovery + Mobility
I did OK on the stretches. During the Foam Rolling section I concentrated on my mid back where I felt like one of my vertebrae was a bit out of alignment. I also concentrated on my shoulders again, and they seem to be opening up ever so slightly.
Time: 57 minutes; Calories Burned: 277; Avg Heart Rate: 92; Intensity: 8; Form: 8.
THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 14, 2019 - P90X2 - V Sculpt
I was feeling really sluggish going into it. I got all the moves in but the sluggishness never really wore off. I've been eating less than great lately, so I'm pretty sure that's affecting things. Stress at work isn't helping either, as is a lack of sleep. I didn't do horrible. I still suck at pull-ups. I used 25's on most of the weight moves.
Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 515; Avg Heart Rate: 121; Intensity: 7; Form: 6.
FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 15, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Yoga
I came home and took another deep sleep 40 minute nap. Seems to be the pattern lately. I know I'm not getting enough sleep overnight. It took me a little while to get the sluggishness out before I started. The actual workout went OK except for the Half Moon section once again. I might be anticipating having a problem with it each time and giving myself an excuse to come out of it early. On the Wrap, I got as deep as I had in a while on the first one, but I couldn't hold it too long. I wasn't as good on the second side, but at least I'm learning how to do it, getting my shoulder underneath my leg. One other thing I'm noticing is that in Warrior 2, it's tough to open up my hips and keep my front foot pointing directly forward. It's turned in a bit. Things to work on.
Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 465; Avg Heart Rate: 104; Intensity: 7; Form: 7.
SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 16, 2019 - P90X2 - Base + Back
I was thinking about increasing my reps on the plyo moves from 20 to 25. I usually don't back down from stuff like that. However, on the first plyo moves, the Frog Hops, I reached 20 then my legs just quit. I'm wondering if it was really my body telling me I couldn't do any more, or if it was my mind telling me I didn't want to do any more. I decided to stick to the 20 because I didn't want to exhaust myself for the rest of the workout. In hind sight it may have been a bad decision, because I'll never get better if I don't increase the reps. The pull-ups were the same as usual. I do what I can. It's not a question of quitting on them early. It's a question of when I can't do any more.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 501; Avg Heart Rate: 117; Intensity: 7; Form: 7.

Weight: 175.2 (+0,4 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.2% (+0.2%)
Seems like I'm going back to 175.2 every other week. I was losing weight almost every week last year it was almost scaring me. The fact that I'm leveling off a bit is almost a relief. I'll concentrate on my nutrition a bit more.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I was sluggish for a lot of the workouts this week. Probably poor eating and not enough sleep. I do need to pay attention to both.

WEEK OF 02/04/19 - P90X2 - ROUND 3 - WEEK 7
MONDAY - FEBRUARY 4, 2019 - P90X2 - Chest + Back + Balance
I came home. Took a nap. Woke up a bit sluggish, but that wore off quickly. I just wanted to get the workout done and over with. All those pull-ups and crazy push-ups. I was ready to go. Then I remembered that ridiculously long warm-up. I did it without complaint, but there are some days where it's just redundant. During the workout I found myself doing a lot more push-ups than I did last week, which was cool. The Pull-ups were close to last week. Some more, some the same, some a few less. Still no Impossible / Possibles, but I tried. Overall, I felt it was a good workout.

TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 5, 2019 - P90X2 - Plyocide
Got stressed at work today. Ate a big fast food meal. I didn't feel as bad as I thought I would, but it still wasn't a good thing. The workout went OK. I get tired in the same spots, and still can't balance on one leg,but get through it.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 506; Avg Heart Rate: 117; Intensity 7; Form: 6.
WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 6, 2019 - P90X2 - Recovery + Mobility
Today marks the half way point of the round. I mostly worked on ankles and shoulders again. I don't think it's strengthening my ankles at all, but I think it might be giving me a bit more shoulder mobility. I'm not sure, but I don't think it's hurting things though.
Time: 57 minutes; Calories Burned: 226; Avh Heart Rate: 88; Intensity: 9; Form: 9.
THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 7, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Shoulders + Arms
This was a good start to the second half of the round. I may have been my best workout of the round so far. Instead of balancing with one foot off the ground, which I really can't do, I balanced on foot on a med ball. On those balance moves I balanced on the left leg during the first round and the right leg on the second round. During the third round the plan was to keep both feet on the floor and use heavier weight. It worked. I bought 35 lb dumb bells yesterday and used the on the Balance Curls during round 3. I used 30's on the Arnold Presses and Overhead Balance Pulls, 25;s on the Crazy Eights, and 20's on the Tricep extensions. All those weights were more than I'd been using on those moves lately,

SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 9, 2019 - P90X2 - Base + Back
This was one of those days where I was wondering where I was going to get the energy to do this one. I finally forced muse;f into motion around 6 pm. Once I started I was OK. I still did 20 of each plyo move, but I did increase my pull-up numbers on a few moves. Once again I went faster than they did, finishing 5 moves ahead of them. This hurt me on at least one pull-up move because I was still tired from the previous one. A good, but not great workout.

SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 9, 2019 - P90X2 - Base + Back
This was one of those days where I was wondering where I was going to get the energy to do this one. I finally forced muse;f into motion around 6 pm. Once I started I was OK. I still did 20 of each plyo move, but I did increase my pull-up numbers on a few moves. Once again I went faster than they did, finishing 5 moves ahead of them. This hurt me on at least one pull-up move because I was still tired from the previous one. A good, but not great workout.

I tried to be perfect on this one. I was close. I think my feet scraped the floor a couple times, and my form may not have been picture perfect, but it went well.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The workouts went relatively well. I found myself pushing myself a bit harder than usual, which is good.
