Winner P90X2!!!

Kim won the P90X2 FREE workout program, congrats!!!!
She was visiting from Washington to STL so I got to give her it in person and snap a worthy winner photo for my fan page :-)
 
Easter Sunday I went to brunch, it was good as always this was my Easter outfit.......

One of my clients got me the cute little wristlet, and it was a perfect match with my Payless wedge shoes in red.

I started the meal with protein and ended with treats, so not too bad on my intake at all.
Calories - 1700
Fat - 45
Protein - 118
Oh this is Diane, Kim's mom that she was visiting in town.

After brunch I did a 4 mile walk, yes 4 full miles!!!
Insanity this weekend is on rest. I am trying to heel my groin, lets hope I can get back to Jumping with Shaun T. mid week.

Its Christmas Time!

Me at the office, this is the Christmas tree in my area. I love the silver and gold, so pretty!
My girlfriend Diane and I celebrated Christmas this weekend. She got a wonderful dessert for us, it was a cheesecake with strawberries on top. YUM!
It was from McCarthurs!

On another note, I finished Insanity!
Finally me and Shaun T. can part ways, it was fun while it lasted......a major sweat fest!

Now it is day 2 of P90X2.
So far, boring. I know it may be because Insanity was such fast pace but this one is more about balance and using a foam roller. (which I already do)

The warm up is the same each workout, not like P90X which was different each one. I'm sure its easier to piece it together that way but if you get bored easy like I do, you may not like it.
 
My warm up is 50 Jacks, then P90X2 warm up without rolling. I am not following the meal plan on this, I am doing the Clean Eat magazine recipes. So its Christmas time, are you ready for Santa?
 
I am :-)

P90X2 ALL Workout Moves = 16 Workouts

P90X2 all workouts + 2 bonus+ 2 One on One with Tony = 16

I have previewed 14 Discs. Plus 2 more the one-on-one with Tony Horton new 4 Legs and Upper Body Balance = 16 total new workouts.

Some moves like Frog and others are in this program but some like the "Draya roll" gets a medicine ball added to it or something to make it more difficult.

1. Warm ups are the same in each (is this a copy cat of 90 Supreme?)
2. Lots of balance and Yoga style moves
3. Each warm up is about 8 minutes cool down 6 minutes = 14 out of 60 minute workout (each workout is 1hr so far)

(Uses roller) Warm up moves:
Worlds greatest stretch
Inch worm - walk down pushup with out the pushup
Scorpion - laying on stomach with one leg reaching out to the side bent up scorpion style (Yogis like Yoga down dog with a dropped over leg)
Groiners - open hip move like windshield wipers in Yoga, or dropping in one knee then the other

Tough moves are:
Warrior 3 cross crunch
Single leg walk out to sphinx
Ball moves using 2 or 4 med balls to balance on
3 Ball extravaganza

First 5 Workouts:

1. Core X2 - Lots of walk downs and stretches, planks and again Yoga core moves and using stability ball

2. Plyocide - Jumps but not as many as I thought (see 2 x Balance +Power)

3. X2 Recovery and Mobility (use the foam roller here) with stretch Yoga style moves

4. X2 Total Body and X2 Ab Ripper - Great overall workout

5. X2 Yoga - My favorite and not as corny as the original, or as long.

6. 2X Balance + Power:

Weighted Kathryn lunges
Renegade row = tough
Crawly crab on stability ball on elbows this looked really good

7. Chest + Back + Balance

Pullup core = bring in knees to core doing a pullup
Level pull up = keep legs straight and out at an "L"
Impossible possible
3 Ball plyo pushup

8. Shoulders + Arms

This is a lot of dumbbell training nothing new just a twist

This workout is has many more balance moves then the original P90X and adds some great challenges that you can implement without all the toys. The meal plan and workout plan is less complicated, they really simplified it.

All these workouts are tough and advanced, so be careful. I also noticed that Tony sprays a sticky grip spray on his hands. You may want to get some.

My next blog on this will be how they compare to each other........

Random Pic Blog

Here are some random pictures from the weekend. I also dug into P90X2, and a new Yoga with Weights workout I will be doing a feature on.

Me at work today at the office

New top :-)
I went on a HUGE shopping spree for some new work clothes, New Year new style!

Meals were on target starting today.

Loaded up with good for you eats


Farm eggs from my local guy, aren't they soooo pretty?

Yes the GREEN egg is a new cleaner egg will let you know about that one, hum.

Smoothie today, raspberry, evoo, fage 0 (I forgot to add spinach)

Delish you can't taste the evoo


My protein pancakes with a twist, fresh out of the skillet.......

Honey and cinnamon added for flavor = YUMMO!


You can't believe I ran out of oats. I am considering doing the Paleo diet, but I wanted something hot for breakfast and all I had was:
Eggs
Protein
Bread crumbs

So I used Fitgirls protein pancakes (non dairy) recipe and modified. I mixed the hot water 1/2 cup with 1/2 cup bread crumbs till mixed then added in 1 egg NOT the egg whites. I didn't want to waste this lovely cage free egg so I didn't. Plus it = about the same as 1/4 egg whites.

Makes 4
Taste Delish!

Here is her recipe, I gave it a 10
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=520681

I also got a chance to do Yoga with weights workout dvd (will write more on that because It is the BOMB!)
P90X2 - 5 dvds previewed last night also will do separate blog on that. FANTASTIC for Yoga lovers :-)

Pushups = 30

P90X2 Deluxe Ordered!


Last night after my workout I had the worst stomac ache *sigh.

I did not feel like eating at all. I don't know if it was the Energy strip I tried (only 1) since I am not used to doing those things for a workout or just a slight bug. My client brought me some salsa and Magic Pops and I had one of those, could it have been that?

Here is what they are if you never heard of them Magic Pops 15 cals each
www.deliceglobal.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=150


I drank lots of water and had a few sugar free cookies since I had no crackers to try to soak up the gurgling.

Posted my pictures on the memory boxes I got now I have to put them all together and that should be sometime this week.

My workout was just the squats for the challenge but on a single step. I's so proud my client she did her first pull up! I was so proud, she worked it hard and fierce and was dripping in sweat...looooved it!

I pre-orderd the new P90X2 DELUXE (more toys lol) it ships in December, I can't wait.
