This morning it was really hard to get up. I was going to get up and do Plyometrics, but since I woke up late I ended up going to the gym and running for 25 minutes. It was pretty good. My shin splints are getting a little better since I bought new shoes. I started icing them at work and it helps a lot. At lunch today I ran for another 25 minutes in the zone. The zone for me is with my heart rate between 155-165bps so I can lose the fat.
Tomorrow hopefully I can get up on time and get a good workout in.

Week 3 Day 1
Today I decided to keep a blog about my progess on getting back into shape and well I guess to be my journal to help track my progress in life.
I have now been trying the P90x workout for about 9 weeks. About 2 weeks ago I decided to start over and actually track my progress because it is very discouraging working out and never knowing if you are actually making progress toward your goals. I have been taking pictures each Sunday night (I should do it in the morning) to help me visually see my body changing. I will post those pictures later when my belly has vanished. I will; however, post my measurements and changes from week to week.
Measurements as of yesterday:
| Start | After W1 | Weekly | After W2 | Weekly |
Body Fat % | 25.9 | 24.4 | 5.79% | 23 | 5.74% |
Weight | 196 | 193.2 | 1.43% | 191.8 | 0.72% |
Chest | 43.5 | 42.5 | 2.30% | 42.5 | 0.00% |
Waist | 39.5 | 38.9 | 1.52% | 39 | -0.26% |
Hips | 37 | 36.5 | 1.35% | 37 | -1.37% |
Right Thigh | 23 | 21.8 | 5.22% | 22.5 | -3.21% |
Left Thigh | 23 | 21.8 | 5.22% | 22.5 | -3.21% |
Right Arm | 15 | 14.2 | 5.33% | 14 | 1.41% |
Left Arm | 15 | 14.2 | 5.33% | 14 | 1.41% |

Today’s report:
My friend Matt started working out with me today. It will be good because we are both trying to lose weight and get back into shape so hopefully we can push each other to the extreme. This morning we did the usual P90x Back and Chest workout. I didn’t feel well this morning. I felt very light headed and nauseated. I hope I can get a better workout in tomorrow morning. Overall I am getting stronger, but I am not where I want to be. I need to push myself a little harder.
