IN Team #2 - Day 30 Pictures are now Up!

FAIL.

We also took a week off. I got super sick drinking on Sunday and that ruined everything.


I just can't keep to a workout routine. If I miss a day or so, it just goes downhill exponentially from there :( Really disheartening.
Maybe I'll just start running again?
HAH. 
Hopefully we'll get back into it. *sigh*

Week 5 Team IN

I was bad and took a week off...not on purpose but I got behind. So...the Chest,Shoulder, Triceps workout kicked my butt. Plyometrics kicked my ASS.

Laura is being creepy and reading over my shoulders. We are getting ready to work out!

Go NC team!

I want my stomach fat to go away.

And I want salads at home.

Bah.

Just keeping pressing play...some times its so hard to do.

Finished up my second round of Core Synergistics today. My abs feel as if they are about to burst out of my stomach. I can't really see results yet but I feel them. The exercises are a little less difficult to perform and I'm not cursing at Tony as often.

Lets keep up the hard work NC team. Next week starts PHASE 2!

Do your best, forget the rest!

A lot better this week!
Core on Tuesday, Plyo on Wednesday, Shoulders + Arms on Thursday, and Chest + Biceps yesterday.
Bryan and I were getting too burned out on the legs. After failing this weekend and getting back on Tuesday, my quads were almost still immediately tired during Core. I don't know. I think somehow I did too much too fast. So I'm still going to take it easy on my legs.
Chest + Biceps felt GREAT-- what a great workout, you can really feel it and you get dead tired at the end. Awesome. Just what I wanted.
I need to do Ab Ripper-- we forgot on Thursday. I think today is Kenpo and Abs? We'll see. 
We stopped sticking to a routine, so now we're just doing workouts. But I think that can be okay, especially if we take out the "90" in P90X and just keep working out at our leisure. We'll see....

Team Indiana, how goes the battle?

I still wish I could see results faster. I don't go by my weight because it fluctuates too much and I know I've put on muscle. But my stomach is still gross to me! Hopefully, that'll change in the next month. Woo!

Failing super hard

Yeah Laura, I know lol.
Friday I was out filming all day and could NOT do the workout. Same again on Saturday afternoon. Then, again, we failed at working out on the weekend. I'm not doing doubles this week again, I'm just going to pick up where I left off, but with changes.

I don't want super thighs! I was not that happy that they grew so fast. I want a flatter stomach, less love handles, stronger upper body, more endurance, etc. So I think I'm going to maybe tailor the workout to that-- I want less leg-intensive. Maybe I'll get out running again for some cardio and endurance.
But I have been doing poorly on keeping up with this program. It's just so damn hard with school when there's a billion things going on. *sigh* Why is it so hard to stick to a certain time?!?! We do so well at the start and then fail. And all the infomercials with people that really need to lose weight, they can do it! THEY stick with it, but not me.

I'm going to do better because I want this. I want more strength and endurance, and I want to be in better shape, and I want to slim down a bit. So I'll keep pushing. I will NOT get discouraged.

And yeah, we took measurements early because we wanted to see some change in smaller increments-- same with the photos (we just haven't put them up yet-- no change there though).
TONY? I'm working on it.

Dear Team NC

Lisa -- don't work out before you go to bed! You're supposed to have a post-workout meal within 1hr after exercise. Your muscles need that.

You guys took your measurements one week too early!!

NO to doing >1 workout thing each day. Tony doesn't want you to do that!! Lisa, you already gained 2 inches on your thighs. SLOW DOWN, WOMAN!


In other news...we think your team is winning. We keep slacking off to get shit done downtown or on the house. But today is my new workout and Mark is doing legs+back, methinks. I will probably do new workout + legs+back, since mine is only 30min and his is 1hr.


SLOW THE FUCK DOWN, YOU GUYS!

Measurements for 2.5 weeks in

Bryan

Chest: 37.5 in.
Waist: 35.75in
Hips: 42 in
Thigh: 22.5 in
Calf: 16.25 in
Bicep: 14 in


Lisa

Chest: 34.5 in
Waist: 30 in
Hips: 37.5 in
Thigh: 20.25 in
Calf: 13.75 in
Bicep: 11 in

OW. Never. Again.

Legs x 3.
I don't need to do ANYTHING ELSE to my damn quads. Seriously. 
Legs+Back and Kenpo one day and Plyo the next? Fuck that shit.

I'm with Laura; cardio is what drops the weight. I'm looking for more upper body strength though, especially for rock climbing. And I want to be more flexible, and stronger overall. But I feel like this is just destroying my legs lol. I want my stomach toned, and to shave off a few pounds.
I should get back to running some when I can-- for Rikku too.

BAH. And NEVER workout at 11:45 at night. STUPID.

Laura's brand new workout!

So Mark took a pic of me on Sunday after we bought our BRAND NEW CAMERA (cue Animation Show music) and I was like EEEWWWWW tummy+butt fat.

So yesterday and today my workout was as follows:
30 minutes on treadmill, 5-10min with 3lb weights -- target calorie burn: 250. Tomorrow+ will be incrementally up by 50 calories each day.
30 sit-ups
200 arm circles
30 crunchy frogs
10 push-ups
50 Mason twists
Try to do some oblique lifts
20 squats
Lunges

I think I'll try to do the treadmill + core synergistics tomorrow. I need cardio more. Strength less. I DON'T WANT TO BE DURABLE.

I'M not trying to bulk up my biceps & triceps. Ew.

Doubles again!

*Legs+Back. 15 minutes from now, Kenpo.
*Tomorrow is Plyometrics and Ab Ripper.
*Wednesday is Core Synergistics and Shoulders+Arms.
THEN we'll be back up to speed for Cardio on Thursday--maybe we'll do something extra that day too just to beef it up. Yeesh.


This is not happening again. Damnit. Doubles are okay for one day, but not three. YIKES.
I hate it, but I love it :) My quads are getting intense. My biceps have gained some mass I think, and my triceps too. We'll have to take measurements in a few days. And I think we'll do pictures soon. If not then definitely at the 30-day marker.
Week 3 guys, let's do this!

Team Exploding High-Five is getting hotter!

Yea! I love working out :) We did AWESOME in Shoulders&Arms today. Gotta go to Dick's and get 8, 10, and 12lbs!!

I think we might switch out Yoga, also. It's hard but I don't feel like I'm doing much. And we NEED cardio to get rid of my tummy fluff.

Drinking V8 Fusion! And OJ! WOOOO!!!

Wedding, here we come... no more MUH. I have to say, last week this time was failboat. This week is woot. I DID 50 MASON TWISTS TODAY IN AB RIPPER. HOLLA!

HEART. stupid html...

That burn feels nice

Agreeing with Mark, I can feel a difference.
We switched out Cardio with Plyometrics. Super hard, but great great and goes by fast. We're considering moving Cardio into Yoga's place because that Yoga is. . . . it's not relaxing, and it's super hard. I kind of want to keep it, but we'll see. I will stick with Yoga this week. Cardio just seemed like Kenpo + Yoga, and I wanted a better workout today.

I feel like my quads are already becoming beasts lol. Need to work on my core and my hammys and my ARMS. I neeeeeed the upper body strength like woah. And rock climbing tomorrow, yikes!

I am SO glad we're doing this, I feel great about the day when I know I've done my workout. Woo!

IN Team #2: IT Burns!

Chest and Back - Round 2!

I can feel myself getting stronger and it shows in the numbers. The numbers are nothing to brag about but I can feel a difference.

It's looking like the second week is going to be much better.

Lets keep it up.

Week 2, we can do this!

Hard to get out of bed this morning.
Core Syn goes by really fast! We had to do Kenpo in the morning though because we had friends over this weekend.
I think I want to add in some Plyometrics because that workout SUCKS in a good way lol. Maybe instead of Cardio because that one isn't as intense.
I need to buy more weights :(

I can't WAIT for Day 90, I'm gonna be hot!
And I'm not dieting, but I am eating healthier. Which is nice. Cutting back on eating out (money sucks) and on eating bad foods.

IN Team, you can do it! Just keep on!
Get this: all those infomercial people are like "We're 50 and why didn't we do this earlier?!" but we are in our 20s!!! We're supposed to be hot right now, and we are SO going to be lol! We're starting a healthy lifestyle early. We getting exercise into our routine early in life so we can keep being healthy for a long long time. Helll yeah.


-Lisa

Or..

Or we might try to do Kenpo ++ day 1 stuff... But we work out at 6pm, I can't do 2.25 hrs of that.. Maybe we'll do some treadmilling.

WHILE WATCHING HOUSE & HEROES! Somehow....

Bad IN team!

We failed to work out Sunday due to feeling like butt.

And we failed to work out yesterday due to taking 3 hrs to get groceries and get stuck in the ice & snow!!! NOOOOOES.

So, today is core synergistics again. We're gonna try to get back on track this coming weekend! And Mark is on chest & back & ab ripper. I think I'll do core + ab ripper also...MAYBE. It might kill me.

Still haven't done kenpo :( I told Mark that if we don't get in 90 days then we stay fat. Tony is evil like that. "Oh, you missed a day? You didn't..BRING IT?!? I'm gonna use YOU as an exercise ball."

Doubles? o_O

Didn't manage to get the workout in yesterday because of unexpected visitors working on the larp with us...
so we did kenpo this morning and doing core synergistics tonight.
Who's excited?

I'm gonna go check on teh kids!

Went on another long walk today, good times. Kenpo and abs tonight, our rest day was yesterday.
I'm excited for week two!
How's it going Team IN? AWESOMELY?! Your "x" pictures rock. SO STRONG!
I need to be careful about my knee though. 
And being on the red + P90X is sucky. The end.

Team #2 IN: Day 5 BRING IT!

FEELING EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXTREME..........

Let's keep it up, IN and NC team!

Tomorrow is Kenpo. Monday we skip our rest to get back on track with Team NC!

~Team Exploding High Five

In Team #2: DAY 3 :600lb head full on nothing

1/21/10

Shoulder & Arms is a great work out :)

My abs hurt from AB Ripper X :(

I'm feeling a little better about P90X....I think I can make it all the way through.

The first week is always the worst so it only getting easier.

-Makr

NC Team: Day 3

I walked ~6miles at Lake Johnson. And then did Shoulders + Arms and Ab Ripper X. STUPID IDEA. I need to buy some more weights, and I need to not over do. Wednesdays especially-- Rock Climbing class.

UGH. Let's hope I'll be okay for Yoga tomorrow because that is some hard stuff.


Tony says Bring It, so let's do this! Go teams!

IN Team: Day 2 Plyometrics ....not possible right now

Plyometrics.....had to stop and jump over to the Cardio X with Laura. Plyo is no joke! That is an intense workout and all I did was the warm up. 2 mins of lunges....in the WARM UP!

Keep pressing play NC team.

-M

Team Exploding High-Five: Day 2

Mark couldn't handle the Plyometrics; that's what killed me last time I tried P90X. I cried after 20min.

So, he hung out w/me in the Cardio X room. Still SO HARD. I had brain trouble with all the jabs and kicks. It's like starting the Wii Fit punching bag.. Very confusing.

I complained and my head really hurt, and my face turned all red :(. I really think getting up at 6am with NO FOOD in my tummy is a horrible way to work out. We might try working out after we get home? Not sure.

Team NC has the advantage -- NO 8-5 JOBS with meetings & lots of projects, plus a 30min drive home.

Weather: rain. 32 degrees. Dog licks.

NC Team: Day 2

I was so hungry after workout. UGH.
Abs are killin', but that's a good thing.
88 days to go! YEAH!

IN Team #2 Awwwwwww...it hurts

Chest and Back...nough said.

It hurts...but it hurts so good.

IN Team: Day 1

P90x - Just keep pressing <>. It gets easier every day!

Day 1 (we failed to start yesterday...we'll pick up an extra day probably Sunday):

I started Core Synergistics. Didn't do the "bonus round". Running push-ups are damn near impossible right now. Same with prison push-ups. I like Bow to Boat and Superman-Banana the best.

Zen & Mel helped supervise. Oh and NO WAYS to the Dreya Roll. Unless it's sushi, I'm not trying it.

6:30-7:30am -- complete.

Still no wedding venue set. OY!

NC Team: Day 1

Rough workout to start into, the Core Synergistics. Jesse did it as well. We survived, but can definitely see the need for working out. I cannot WAIT to not be out of breath and to do these spot on. 
Goals: Better hip raises, bananas/bows/boats/supermans, and EVENTUALLY be able to do the chaturanga run lol. Let's do this! And GO TEAM NC AND IN!
