MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 - V-Sculpt
I originally had this in my schedule for Thursdays, but noticed last time I was doing pullups two days in a row because I have Base and Back on Fridays, So I swapped it with X2 Chest, Shoulders, and Tris. I had a bad day at work and wasn't in a real good mood when I got home. I briefly thought about taking the week off to clear my mind, but that was only a brief moment. The workout went OK. I used 25s on most of the weighted moves and 15s on the rest. I also used the Pullup Assist again, but only on two of the pullup moves. I was weak on those again today.

TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 - Plyocide
I bought some licorice the other day, thinking it could satisfy my sweet tooth here and there. I came home stressed from work today and ate too much of it. Took a long nap, woke up really sluggish. I finally started the workout about 8:15. It started slow, but I was up to speed by the second or third set. I finished pretty good, and feel much better afterwards. It seems like everyday is a learning experience of sorts.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 530; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Max Heart Rate: 150.
WEDNESDAY - OCTOBER 1, 2014 - X2 Yoga
The workout went OK. Not much to say about it. I'm still not eating great. I can't force myself and just "do it". That doesn't last for me. I need something to "click" inside my brain for it to happen, and that's just not happening. That all just sounds pathetic, but that's where I am.
Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 412; Avg Heart Rate: 98; Max Heart Rate: 198.
THURSDAY - OCTOBER 2, 2014 - X2 Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
Good workout. Nothing too exceptional. I started with 35's on the Shoulder Strip Set and worked down to 25's. On the 3 Ball Extravaganza I got my foot off the ball a few times, and even got it part way to my elbow once. I'm just nervous on those that I'm going to roll off the medicine balls and either sprain or break my wrist. But I still do OK with them. On another note, I got my P90 program delivered yesterday. I know it's supposed to be much easier than the "X" workouts, but I still want to try it out. I think there's a lot of people that could benefit from these programs if only they'd give them a chance.
Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 405; Avg Heart Rate: 111; Max Heart Rate: 189.
FRIDAY - OCTOBER 3, 2014 - Base and Back
I was going to use the Pullup Assist again, then decided I'd only use it for the second set, then ended up not using it at all. I still struggle mightily with pullups. I need to figure it out. I shouldn't be that bad at them.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 452; Avg Heart Rate: 110; Max Heart Rate: 149.
SATURDAY - OCTOBER 4, 2014 - X2 Recovery and Mobility
Wow! I used the Rumble Roller again and really went after it. I feel really great afterwards!
Time: 57 minutes; Calories Burned: 177; Avg Heart Rate: 80; Max Heart Rate: 103.
SUNDAY - OCTOBER 5, 2014 - X2 Ab Ripper
I felt good going into this one, I was crisp on the moves until the last one (seated bicycles), where my feet came down a few times.
Time: 16 minutes; Calories Burned: 104; Avg Heart Rate: 99; Max Heart Rate: 121.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 200.2 (+2.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 22.3% (+0.1%)
I'm totally disgusted with myself. First time I've been above 200 lbs in about 6 years.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I'm typing this right after my weigh in, so I'm not real happy, and I really don't know what to say. The one bright side is that the workouts went OK. I love P90X2, but it's not the program's fault I can't control my eating better. I feel like after six years I'm back to square one.

P90X2 - ROUND 2 - WEEK 7 - Week of 09/22/2014
MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 - Chest, Back, and Balance
One of those workouts where I kept getting interrupted for one reason or another, and it was tough to concentrate. I got it done. I always have problems with pullups, but today it was exceptionally bad. I was noticing my left forearm was really hurting on them. It's hurt before when doing them, but not this bad, so I did what I could, and didn't push for more. I did OK on the pushups, but still get in an "Impossible".
Time: 59 minutes; Calories Burned: 567; Avg Heart Rate: 120; Max Heart Rate: 216.
TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 - Plyocide
Not much to say. It wasn't my greatest workout for sure. The one move that frustrates me the most is the Lunge to Warrior 3 at the beginning of the second set. It seems to simple, but I can't balance to get into it.
Time: 55 minutes: Calories Burned: 535; Avg Heart Rate: 119; Max Heart Rate: 152.
WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 - X2 Yoga
This is the half way point of the round. Again, not much to say. I did Ok, but nothing exceptional. I think this might be my favorite of all the Yoga workouts I have. Except for one section, it's not all that repetitive (as the original Yoga X was). It's also a good time in just over an hour. Not too long. Not too short. Good mix of vinyasas and stretching.
Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 443; Avg Heart Rate: 101; Max Heart Rate: 130.
THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 - X2 Shoulders and Arms
I tend to think of this workout as one of the easier ones in X2, and it very well might be. However, today I was struggling a bit. So much that I even dropped my weight on a few moves in the third set. My arms are fried.
Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 490; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Max Heart Rate: 152.
FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 26, 2014 - Base and Back
I was feeling tired and sluggish going into the workout, so I decided to use the Pullup Assist on all the Pullup moves. I've toyed with it here and there, but don't think I've actually used it for an entire workout. One the first set, the No Kip Pullups it worked great. I felt like I was floating on air, but I could still feel it in my arms and back a bit. However, the further I got into the workout the more tired I got, and my form suffered a bit. I think I'll keep trying it out here and there. Since I stink at pullups and don't seem to be getting any better at them, maybe it will help.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 504; Avg Heart Rate: 115; Max Heart Rate: 149.
SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 27, 2014 - Recovery and Mobility
Not much to say. I used the Rumble Roller again. I wasn't as afraid of it as I was last week, but I was still cautious with it. I'm glad I decided to do this workout on Saturdays. It fits in well there.
Time: 57 minutes; Calories Burned: 199; Avg Heart Rate: 83; Max Heart Rate: 106.
SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 28, 2014 - X2 Ab Ripper
I wasn't really feeling too good because I ate a lot of crap today, so I was telling myself to take the day off, which I never do. However, about 11:15pm my conscience got the better of me and I got it done. Also, I usually convince myself to eat what ever I want on Sundays. I figure it's a reward for the hard work I put in during the week, and I'll burn it off anyways because I don't weigh myself until the following Sunday morning. The bad thing is that it makes me feel like crap all day, which makes me depressed on Mondays, which causes me to stress eat, starting a bad cycle for the week. No more.
Time: 16 minutes; Calories Burned: 115; Avg Heart Rate: 102; Max Heart Rate: 126.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 197.6 (+1.0 lbs)

P90X2 - ROUND 2 - WEEK 6 - Week of 09/15/2014
MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 - X2 Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
Feeling a bit sluggish going in, but got it done OK. There are a few tricky moves, especially the two involving the 3 medicine balls. I did Ok on the tricep dips on the balls. Not so good on the 3 Ball Extravaganza. I can do the pushups ok on that move, but have a problem getting one foot off the ball, and I certainly can't bring my knee to my elbow. No problems with any of the other moves. They were pretty staightforward.

TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 - Plyocide

THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 18, 2014 - V-Sculpt
This is a weird workout. A mix of a lot of pullups, renegade rows and even some band moves. I did OK on all but the pullups, as usual.
Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 426; Avg Heart Rate: 109; Max Heart Rate: 147.
FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 - Base and Back
For the round of X2 I'd tweaked the daily schedule of each week a bit to what works best for me. Mondays and Tuesdays are intense workouts, then Yoga on Wednesdays. Then back to intense on Thursdays and Fridays, then Recovery and Mobility on Saturdays. I realized after I did this one today that I'd done pullups two days in a row. It didn't seem to bother me though, as I'm not able to do too many anyways. Even though this workout is tough, I seem to like it. I'm good on the plyo, need work on the pullups, which is a still a challenge for me. After all this time I should be better at them, but I'm not. I'm not sure why.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 528; Avg Heart Rate: 118: Max Heart Rate: 198.
SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 20, 2014 - Recovery and Mobility
I was sore as hell going in, especially my legs. I played golf yesterday, then did Base and Back, and today I mowed the lawn for almost 2 hours. I was really looking forward to the foam roller, but am still a bit afraid of the Rumble Roller I'm using, so I backed off a bit when it got painful. I do feel a lot looser afterwards, though.

P90X2 - ROUND 2 - WEEK 5 - Week of 09/08/2014
MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 - Chest, Back, and Balance
Start of the Strength Phase. Tough workout. I was doing ok at first, but was cutting back on a few of the reps because I was tiring and didn't want to slip off a ball and hurt myself. Midway through the second set, however, I just ran out of gas. On the 4 position pullups I was only able to do 2 at each position. I think I'll be stronger on this one when I do it again in 2 weeks.

TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 - Plyocide
I'm a bit sore from yesterday, which I guess is a good thing. Tonight was a good Plyocide workout. The only place where I consistently lose my breath and have my hands on my knees for a few seconds is after the Frog Burpees. I have to wait about 10 to 15 seconds to start the One Legged Slaloms, which are tough for me anyways. Even though I understand the concept, I still don't feel like I'm getting anything out of the stretches at the end.

THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 - X2 Shoulders and Arms
A lot of these moves are balancing on one leg, which is tough for me. However, I did my best. I used 25s on the first three moves of each set. I even did OK on the Y-T's, using 5's.
Time: 52 minutes: Calories Burned: 508; Avg Heart Rate: 120; Max Heart Rate: 157.
FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 - Base and Back
This would be an absolute killer of a workout if I could do tons on pullups, but I still struggle with them. This left a LOT of downtime in between moves, even more that the time they are taking between moves on the video. Still, I did the best I could on the pullups. On the good side, I kept up with them on the plyo moves. The toughest for me is the Weighted Plyo Lunges. I only used 10 lb weights (could probably have used 15s), but I was totally exhausted after both times I did that one. The Jack In The Box Knee Tucks are tough, but I actually enjoy them.

I'm obviously happy with the weight loss. I didn't think I ate that great this week (but not real bad), but there's weeks where I think I ate great and I end up gaining weight, so there are other factors involved.

P90X2 - ROUND 2 - WEEK 4 - Week of 09/01/2014
MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 1, 2014 - X2 Core
Labor Day today, so I was able to get it done in the early afternoon. I'm sweating like crazy. The workout went pretty good. I upped my numbers in a few areas, and my balance was a bit better on some moves. Heart Rate Monitor is broken again. May need a new one. Below are estimates.

TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 - Plyocide
I've been eating really bad the last few days. That happens when I get stressed. I just don't care at times. Today I ate a bunch of chips and dip just before I worked out. I never do that, but for some reason today I did. I was feeling it during the warmup a bit and wondered how I was going to get through the workout without getting sick. Turns out it may have been my best Plyocide workout ever, certainly this round. I'm not going to think it's OK in the future though. I think I got lucky today. Heart Rate Monitor is still not working. Below are estimates based on how I felt compared to other Plyocide workouts. I wish I'd had real numbers.

THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 - X2 Total Body
I did pretty good on this one. I upped my reps on a few moves. The only regression I had was on the Crunch Lever pullups where I only did 4, then 5. My balance also wasn't as good as last week on the one legged balance moves. But I did work up a good sweat.
Time: 63 minutes; Calories Burned: 595; Avg Heart Rate: 120; Max Heart Rate: 160.
FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 5, 2014 - X2 Balance and Power
Not my best effort. My strength simply wasn't there and I had a hard time balancing on a few of the stability ball moves. I rolled off a few times and thought I was going to break my ankle once. I also rolled my hands off the medicince ball near the end of the Lateral Plyo Pushups. I'm realizing you must be in control when doing these moves. If you get sloppy, you could easily hurt yourself.
Time: 62 minutes; Calories Burned: 560; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Max Heart Rate: 152.
SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 - Recovery and Mobility
The workout went OK. I just went through the motions on the foam roller section, but tried a bit harer on some of the stretches near the end. I had a Fantasy Football draft this morning. Ate like crap. Actually, I ate like crap the entire week. Worse than any week in recent memory. I'm really struggling with making nutrition important. It's real, real work for me.
Time: 57 minutes; Calories Burned: 190; Avg Heart Rate: 82; Max Heart Rate: 105.
SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 7, 2014 - X2 Ab Ripper
I got this done late in the evening. I was going to skip it because I rest on my 4th Sunday of each round when doing Classic P90X, but this isn't Classic, so I did it. Nothing special to say about it. I dick get a new hear rate monitor today. The old one was shot. While at the sporting goods store, I saw they had the Rumble Roller that Tony uses for his foam rolling, so I bought one. I tried it out for a while tonight because I had a kink in my back. It's a whole new sensation.
Time: 16 minutes; Calories Burned: 101; Avg Heart Rate: 101; Max Heart Rate: 120.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 195.8 (+1.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 21.5% (+0.4%)
Both are bad numbers, but were expected.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The eating was really, really bad. The workouts went OK. I need to tighten up the nutrition. I've finished Phase 1 (Foundation) of the Round. On to Phase 2 (Strength) on Monday.
Labor Day today, so I was able to get it done in the early afternoon. I'm sweating like crazy. The workout went pretty good. I upped my numbers in a few areas, and my balance was a bit better on some moves. Heart Rate Monitor is broken again. May need a new one. Below are estimates.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 460; Avg Heart Rate: 112; Max Heart Rate: 148.
TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 - Plyocide
I've been eating really bad the last few days. That happens when I get stressed. I just don't care at times. Today I ate a bunch of chips and dip just before I worked out. I never do that, but for some reason today I did. I was feeling it during the warmup a bit and wondered how I was going to get through the workout without getting sick. Turns out it may have been my best Plyocide workout ever, certainly this round. I'm not going to think it's OK in the future though. I think I got lucky today. Heart Rate Monitor is still not working. Below are estimates based on how I felt compared to other Plyocide workouts. I wish I'd had real numbers.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 575; Avg Heart Rate: 127; Max Heart Rate: 158.
WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 3, 2014 - X2 Yoga
Still not eating great, and I ate before the workout again. I felt like a whale while doing the workout. Not happy.
