Today I was called into work early and didn't have enough time to do p90x so I jumped on the eliptical for 30 minutes.  Had a great sweat!  Tomorrow will be back and arms.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Adam is someone to look up to...man to have all that flexibility makes me dizzy!!!  I get frustrated because I can't do the move where you put the hand behind your back and reach under your thigh with the other.....thank goodness I do this in my basement so no one sees me!! ha..ha.ha.. 

I'm hoping to become better at it, but still looking for away to keep myself focused.

mom2graceandclara & beachchica-

Hi, sorry its been sooooo long. I've been away from work for over 1 week and had to pass on a couple of days of p90x due to some medical issues.  Back on track now.  Today was yoga...ugh!  I just don't think I'm meant to be a yogi! ha..ha..  I get board, maybe I'm not doing it correctly.  Tomorrow is back and arms.  Do you use the bands or the pullup bar? 

Eating is going okay.....I'm having troubles consuming all the calories...I'm not doing the 1800 but about 1400-1500, and I have to force myself to eat that!  Due to all the protien I fill up really easy. 

If any of you on the post are looking for a great snack (usually my breakfast) try this:

3 boiled eggs cut in half, discard all but 1/2 of 1 yolk.  Place evenly in all egg halves, sprinkle salt, pepper and if desired dash of hot sauce in each one and top with 2 deli thin sliced  smoked or honey turked (cut in pieces) in each half.  81 calories, .9 carbs, 2.5 fat, 14.1 grams of protein!!!!! 

Glad to hear everyone is going strong and doing the workouts!  Keep up the great work and "BRING IT!"

Hello,

Yoga is the longest that I've encountered so far.  The other ones are about 50-60 minutes.  But remember its 5-10 minutes of warm up and 5-7 minutes of stretching at the end. It is time consuming, but I just keep thinking of all the calories I burned during that time!

I did Legs & Back today.  My buns are screaming already! Do you use the bands or do you use the pull up bar?

Tomorrow is Kenpo. I've never done it so curious to see how it goes.

Have a great workout at the gym.  I give you credit for doing double workouts! Keep up the good work!   We will look great for Xmas!

Glad to have another p90x buddy! 

This is my first round ever of p90x and enjoying it so far.  I'm doing the Lean and on day 5.  Today was yoga, wow 90 minutes!  Thats a long workout.  I was supposed to do it yesterday but was called into work early, so had to do it today.   I've never done any sort of yoga class before, so it was a bit challenging, but felt good once completed.  Bring on Plyo tomorrow!  Yippee!

Keep me posted!Your absolutely right, we will look wonderful for Christmas!!!

Have a great weekend!

Hi,

I did the yoga this am as well. Wow 90 minutes!!!  I haven't really done yoga before, very little....so it was a challenge, but most challenging was keeping my attention.  I definately worked up a sweat and felt great after I was done. 

I do eat egg whites a couple times a week, but have since increased the amount after starting p90x.  I am doing this program only, nothing else.  A walk here or there but nothing more.

Keep up the good work, have a great weekend!  I think tomorrow is Plyo! I'm excited!

This is not your traditional Thanksgiving side dish, but its soooo yummy!!!!

Cabbage Casserole

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 small head of cabbage
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 6 to 8 slices bacon or turkey bacon, diced
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 can (10 1/2 ounces) cream of celery soup
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Dash pepper
  • 2 cups fresh bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Preparation: Heat oven to 375°. Lightly grease a 2 1/2 to 3-quart baking dish.

Cut cabbage into 4 wedges, then cut out core and cut each wedge crosswise into thin slices. Put cabbage in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

Meanwhile, sauté the onion and diced bacon in the vegetable oil until onion is tender. In a bowl, combine the soup, milk, mayonnaise, pepper, and cooked onion and bacon. Add the cabbage and stir to mix well.

In another bowl, combine bread crumbs with melted butter and parsley. Toss to blend thoroughly.

Sprinkle about 1/3 cup of the crumbs over the bottom of the casserole. Top with the cabbage mixture, then sprinkle cheese over all. Top the cheese layer with the remaining bread crumbs.

Bake the casserole, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8.

Wonderful! Glad to chat with you about the program/progress.  Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. 

I'm only on day 4 and actually was called into work early so was not able to do the Yoga X today....will have to try to squeeze it in tonight after work. 

When you did the 1st round did you do the lean or classic?  Did you do the eating plan as well? 

I'll add you as a friend so we can mail back and forth.  Or would you prefer to just keep this forum topic open?

Nice to meet you!

Purchasing a fitness ball from Target/Walmart would be a good option.  I used to teach an "On the Ball" core class at the YMCA.  We used the balls, they are extremely effective and a great workout.  I'm pretty sure they  come with some sort of workout video or book.

A good website with slide show of different exercises is:

Good luck and happy crunching!!

Thank you for the motivation and suggestions.  I ended up doing 2 miles w/out walking the other night.  I told myself to keep going and it was actually enjoyable.  It helped that it wasn't hot out either.   :)  thanks again!

Not a big fan either of the vanilla but you can try.....

1/2 cup skim milk or light vanilla soy milk

1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt

1/2 cup fresh/frozen strawberries

1 scoop protein powder

4-5 ice cubs

blend until smooth...tastes like a strawberry shake! 

Chocolate is so much better. But this isn't too bad.

I substitute egg whites for all my recipes that call for eggs when baking and they still turn out wonderful.  2 egg whites per 1 whole egg.  Also I substitute plain applesauce for oil...same amounts.  Turns out moist and delicious!!!

You don't have to feel so guilty about eating the sweets!!!
