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.
