MONDAY - MARCH 18, 2019 - P90X2 - P.A.P. Lower
I felt really good going into it. I increased my weight to 25's on the Step Up Convicts, but still stumbled early on. Except for the Cross Reaches, where I always lose my balance, everything else was pretty good. I held the Side Planks for 30 seconds on six of the eight attempts. Not perfect, but a good jump from last week.

Another good one. No nap when I got home. I used 25's again on the Renegade Rows and the Step Up Presses. I can feel them and they were tiring me a bit, but I feel good afterwards. I held all four Medicine Ball Planks for the full 60 seconds and I held two of the four Supermans for the entire 45 seconds. Good improvement on those. Did regular Pullups at 7, 6, 6, 4 reps. Not great, but OK for me.

Very relaxing. This is my favorite workout of the bunch and i'm going to miss it. I worked my back and shoulders again today, and I can really feel the benefits.

THURSDAY - MARCH 21, 2019 - P90X2 - P.A.P. Lower
It went OK. Same deal with the Step Up Convicts. All over the place when I'm planting my left leg and moving the right one. Better, but not great, on the other side. I used 25 lb dumbbells. I can't balance on the Reaches. On the Side Planks I got to 30 each time on the left side, which had been my weakest. On the other side I got to 30 seconds twice, 28 seconds once, and 10 seconds once. On the latter two, my bottom foot slipped and I went down. This wasn't anything exceptional today, but I think it was my best effort of the six times I did it, and I think I improved each time I did it. That's what it's about.

FRIDAY - MARCH 22, 2019 - P90X2 - P.A.P. Upper
Same theme as yesterday. Nothing was exceptional, but with some small improvements it was my best effort of the six tims I did it this round. I used 25 lb dumbbells once again on the Renegade Rows and Step Up Presses. The big thing was that I got in the full 60 seconds on all four Med Ball Planks and the full 45 seconds on three of the four Superman's. I wasn't getting anywhere near those times two weeks ago. Pull-ups (regular ones) were 8/6/5/5/ Those could have been better, but overall I felt good with what I accomplished.

SATURDAY - MARCH 23, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Yoga
Last workout of the round. I wanted to make it good, but my mind was wandering a bit, as I wanted to get it over with. I did hold the first Half Moon, which I usually can't, and I was able to reach underneath and get a good finger clasp on both of the Wraps. I didn't hold them for that long, but it was progress. This was similar to the last two days where I finished with small improvements. A good end to the round.

SUNDAY - MARCH 24, 2019 - Rest
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 175.0 (no change) (-2.0 lbs for the round)
Body Fat: 16.8% (-0.2%) (-0.8% for the round)
Most of the 2 lbs I lost in the round was in the first week. Since then, I've been stuck around 175. The drop in Body Fat is good, but I'm still not eating great. Yesterday was horrible eating wise.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
A good finish. I realized I was getting better at things slowly but surely. My body is sore but I'm feeling really toned.
THOUGHTS FOR THE ROUND
Going into the round I was thinking this wasn't one of my favorite programs to do. That's now changed. There are still things I struggle with, but the challenge is there. I'm very pleased with what I accomplished. I'm not going to hesitate to do it again.
