Hutch Day 11...

I'm still not a fan of plyo but i can deal with it if i need to. Today's workout is shoulders and arms and i'm pretty excited about that. I like the strength training days, no matter how hard they are...i just feel like i see more progress from them right now rather than the cardio days (plyo, cardio x, & kempo). I know it all plays a huge role in everything. I've lost another 3.5 lbs since i started this program...I'm pretty excited about that, cause really, for the first few days, like day 1-5, i really didnt watch my diet very well at all. I've actually lost the 3.5 lbs since Friday...So I'm pumped about that. With all this working out, the weight will fall off again, and it's going to have to at some point. When I graduated high school, i was 230 lbs. With changes in my body, im not sure that I can make it there, but with a good body that's in shape and somewhat muscular, I could settle for 250. When meg and I got back from our honeymoon I weighed in at 266 and that's the last time i've been that small. that will be 5 years come July. Maybe by July 17, I'll be back there. Ok, i'm out, see you tomorrow.

Hutch Day 10...

Wow, it really doesn't seem like I've been doing this for 10 days...apparently it's going to go by faster than i thought. I'm still getting worked out pretty good, and I may have mentioned this before, but I'm going to start subbing Cardio X for Yoga X days...I can't do half of the yoga "poses" and there's no way I'm working anything out by not doing it right...plus the minor feelings of embarrassment and stupidity. All in All, it's working. I've lost about 2 lbs total since I started...I'd like to see a little more weight loss, but it will come. Until tomorrow, (i Hope)...

Phase 2... WOW!!!

"Go for JCrum"

I started the 2nd phase of P90X today.  And all I can say is WOW!!!  I am definitely more worn-out than I was when I first started.  He has turned up the intensity with the 2nd phase.  But I keep pushing play.  Let's keep up the hard work fellas!!!

Hutch Day 3...UGG Ab ripper x

Just confirming that Ab Ripper X was in fact created and edited by the devil himself. Having said that, day three is over. Phew. Only 87 left! I'm gonna make it. I can really tell that my left arm is weaker than my right...my left shoulder, arm, muscles give out quicker than my right. I also worked muscles today that I had no clue how to exercise, however, I feel them really well now in part because they are still burning. Two days from now I'm sure I will really feel them. Actually, I can pin point every muscle in my arms, shoulders and back now...just ask, I'll show and name. Ok then, peace out...I know it's technically tomorrow, but I'll see you then...or today, whichever comes first...and a partridge in a pear tree...

Hutch Day 2...WOOT!

If you have been wondering, I have to tell you...there is no way on God's beautiful green earth that this program doesn't work if you put your time and effort into it. In two days, I have already been worked to my fat bones. I'm not miserable...I'm not going to let myself get that way...shame on me and whoever who thinks a good body comes at an easy price. I could do with a little less of Tony H's ego...but if it works, it works. Even if I'm not superstar rock hard body in 90 days, I see no way in the world that I won't be another 5o lbs lighter at the end of my first round...seriously. This is the real deal...See ya tomorrow...

Hutch Day 1...What have I gotten myself into...

Ok people, sorry it's been so long. Due to scheduling and traveling, I decided to postpone my starting of P90x until I could find a time where I could spend a whole week getting used to it...hopefully making it a habit. I also realize that I'm slightly larger than most...so I'm preparing myself for P180x...cause I may need two or three cycles through this. So here we go! Sorry I didn't post my before pics, but I figured I'd spare you at the moment. They will be much more pleasant alongside the after pics...My goal is to post every single day. I filled out my official P90X calendar today and day 90 for me is August 2...HOLY COW...that seams so far away, but it will go fast. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Although we are not all posting as regular, for the most part, we are all still participating. I'll see ya tomorrow!

I FEEL REALLY OLD RIGHT NOW

There are certain things that a 40 year old man is not supposed to do. One of them is the "flying-one-leg-reach-for-the-sky" yoga move that they tried to make me do this morning. They all must be related to Gumby! Couldn't make it through Yoga X without pulling something. Small setback, but I will be alright. I hope that the rest of you guys are coming along as well as I am. I am really sore and hurting, but it's a good hurt. It will all be worth it to see us in 90 days! Let's keep it going! BRING IT!!!!
