Chest & Back.
Increased my standard push-ups to 30 and the others went up as well. I was stuck at 4/5 on the chin-ups and pull-ups and did a second round using the chair.
Once again, I felt nautious after this particular workout. Had to stop for about 5 minutes during the last round.

Well, I've managed to gain weight every week so far. lol My BF is down overall and about the same as last week. I've been modifying my diet to what I thought was pretty healthy but I think it's time I start counting calories now.

Day 14
Kenpo X
I had fun with this one again. I think I may have spike my HR to 180 once or twice. I was actually feeling like I could do more at the end. The cardio workouts have been pretty easy for me so far.

Day 13
Legs & Back
I surprised myself and did 8 chin-ups to start it off. The other chin-ups and sit-up sets were around 4/5 and I used the chair on the second sets. I was able to do the full time on the wall squats this time also.

Day 12
Legs & Back
Well...it was supposed to be legs & back. I fell asleep and didn't wake up until midnight. I really didn't feel like starting that late so I skipped. I will use this as my off day.

Day 11
Yoga
I think I did a little better with the yoga poses today but I cut it off at around 45 minutes. 90 minutes is just too much yoga!

Day 10
Shoulder & Arms
Pushed it pretty hard on this workout. I really need to get some new weights so I don't have to keep pausing and adjusting them. I'm doing a little better on the Ab-RipperX. My current goal is to do at least 20 of the 25 reps.
I switched to a different multi-vitamin since the last one (one-a-day) was making me nauseous.

Day 8 (Start Week 2 and Weigh-In)
Chest and Back.
Here goes the start to week number 2. This one pushed me pretty hard once again. I knocked out a few more push-ups but I was struggling with the pull-ups by the end. After the session I added some pull-ups with chair assistance. Once again, this workout made me feel like I was about to puke for some reason. The others have not had that affect.
Weight: 168.4
BMI: 26.7
BF: 23.5
Not much of a change here. I was hoping to drop a pound or 2 but Tony says muscle weighs more than fat so I'll keep telling myself that :) We'll see what happens as I get further along. I suppose my main goals are to lower my body fat and improve my cardio anyway. Any muscle that replaces fat is just a bonus. I'm not sure how much I trust the scale for BF%. I may have to buy a pair of calipers.

Day 7 (Week 1 Complete & Thoughts)
Kempo
Wow, I actually enjoyed this workout and I think it will be my favorite. This was a great cardio session and I had my HR consistently above 160. I think I maxed at around 185. It was kind of like a kickboxing class and not monotonous at all.
That's week number 1 down. I am actually considering P90X doubles after week 3. This would entail a cardio workout in the AM in addition to the PM workout. I'm really wanting to push myself on the cardio side.
I have been loading on the creatine for week 1 and will now take normal doses from now on. I have been doing the protein drinks with the protein whey about once or twice a day. I usually eat a protein bar for one of my snack during the day. I really need to find some good vitamins as I know I'm not getting enough fruits or vegetables. I have adjusted my diet but I don't think I can implement it fully. I'm going to try to stick with a lot of chicken, turkey, fish, and egg whites and will try eliminating 99% of my junk food intake. Maybe I'll allow myself to splurge once a week.

Day 6 (Rest)
Rest.
This was supposed to be the Kempo workout day but I just couldn't fit it in and the kids were up late. I guess this was my rest day and tomorow will be Kempo(whatever that is?).

Day 5
Legs & Back.
Another muscle building sessions. I pushed myself to keep a good pace to try to keep my HR up on this one.

Day 4
Yoga.
Now I remember why I hate Yoga. I am not flexible, I hate stretching, and it is so boring. I can't believe they actually made this session 90 minutes long. I think this is the one I will struggle with the most. I may need to skip some of the poses to get though it.

Day 3
Shoulders & Arms.
This was another good workout for pushing the muscles to the max, but it didn't do much for me on the cardio side.

Day 2
Plyometrics.
I actually enjoyed this workout. It was a good cardio session and pushed my HR up to 185. On a plus side, I did not feel like I had to puke at the end of the workout.

Day 1 (Start Week 1, Initial Weigh-In, & Goals)
Chest & Back.
Towards the end of the workout I felt like I was about to puke. It was not much of a cardio workout but pushed me pretty hard on the push-ups and pull-ups. I turned off the dvd before the ab ripper came up so I guess I skipped that part this time :)
Start Weight: 167.8
BMI: 26.6
BF: 24.6
Goals:
1) For now I would like to get my body fat below 20% and then in the long term I would like to get it around 10%.
2) Improve my cardio. I'm really out of shape. Ideally I'd like to get back to my high school levels when I was running sub 5 minute miles but that may be a pushing it. I'd at least like to get back to running a few 5k's every year with respectable times.
3) Tone my muscles and possibly add a little bulk. I'm not going for the BEEFCAKE! look here, just a little sumpin sumpin. I'd like to get my bench lift into the 200's.
