OH, HAI

i'd like to introduce you to someone i met through p90x...

MY FREAKING BICEP!



BRING IT!

FYI

Cruises are the opposite of P90X
They are not good for the gut.
Might need to throw in some extra cardio this week

super fail

that was, hands down, the worst workout i've had. worse than week 3 or whatever that tough one was. freakin pathetic. i couldn't even do a single one arm push up. not even from my knees. horrible.

bringing it. intestinally.

i finally did it. finally pushed myself to the point of vomiting. nothing actually made it out, but after the last set of dive-bomb pushups, i got up and had to choke back the rising bile. i felt the burning and tasted the acid on the way back of my tongue.

and somehow, i was a little proud.

I QUIT

...just kidding. But seriously, I am taking this week off. This sounds like a lame excuse but I am just hurting. The tendinitis in my right knee has been acting up with all the basketball I have been playing this week. It has been painful to run/jump right now and the thought of doing plyometrics sounds no bueno. So I am going to heed TH's advice and take it easy. And it sounds like we have been having some ailment issues and have taken a break. So don't hate on me for doing the same.

Did you get your tickets?

TO THE GUN SHOW!!!!!

Better late than never

OK, OK, I've been slacking on the posting but here are my pics from day 30. I also posted day 1 for comparison.

Rest Week

I was really excited that this week was rest week and then I realized that today is yoga. An hour and a half of humiliating pain. with a side of crying. However in the spirit of TH i am going to bring it. that is all.

success

jumped back into the game by starting my phase 2 recovery week today. gotta say, a whole week of doing nothing other than a couple bike rides left my downward dog unworthy of the cover of downward dog magazine.

in related news, where the heck are the rest of you? it's time to BRING IT to the internets. i'm talking to you, alvin, and you, the guy i don't know...

fail

tony's always telling us "don't be a hero..." well, i tried to be a weekend hero, ignored some pain in my back and ribs and charged pretty hard through my recreational activities.

now i can barely take a deep breath without my back spasming and i'm pretty sure that much like justin duchscherer, i'm gonna be shelved for at least this week.

HALFWAY SPEEDBUMP

I feel like I'm plateauing. The old Mark would have given up at this point. But not the P90x Mark, this guy is going to go down fighting.

I want you to be a psycho.

Picture was taken after I paused the dvd to get ready for ab ripper X. I think the picture speaks for itself.

revenge of the fit

p90x does have a couple downsides. first, i'm hungry about every 2 hours. second, sometimes i drink four beers and wake up feeling like i drank eight.

School is back in session

I am back up in this bitch. The learning has begun and so has the pain. Bring it TH!!! BRRRRRRIIIINNNNNNGGGG IT!!!!
