Day 11 Cardio/Abs complete.
I actually could tell a difference today doing the workout. Power Yoga was easier, still way hard, but I am doing better than before. I have increased my intensity with the jumping jacks/running so I can really feel the burn.
The other big thing is when I was doing all of the knee raises in the beginning my hip flexors (I believe that is what it is called) were really tired and sore straight from the get go. Today not so.
Oh and when I did the jab, punch with my right leg forward - when I did the punch and would move/twist my left knee before I felt a twinge of pain. I would have to do less of full body movement on that move. Today was a whole different story! I could move and it felt good!
I am so excited to see these kinds of changes in my body already.
Keep pushing play!

Power 90 Day 10
Day 10 complete for me. I am going to say that one more time, Day 10 complete!
Did Sculpt today. I am increasing my intensity this week. I pushed through and did 10 pushups on each circuit instead of the 8 I did last week. However, when I got to the 7-7-7 it was more like 4-2-0. It was all I could do just to do that, my arms were like spaghetti!

Power 90 Day 9
Day 9 done! Today was cardio/abs. I upped my intensity today. Still made it through the entire workout only taking scheduled breaks. Jumping jacks really get my heart racing!
I do take it a little bit easier whenever it calls for putting all of your weight on your left knee. My left knee is much weaker and I feel a twinge of pain their during the workout and after. Nothing really bad, but I feel if I am not careful and slowly strengthen that knee it could get worse. The only thing this really effects is the side kicks. I still do them just not as high on that side.

P90 Thoughts
I of course am in this to lose weight but right now my goals are all around the program, my progress (day 1 can do 8 pushups, day 90 can do 50 pushups or more) and completing the program. That is something I can control and success is guaranteed. With each success I keep pushing harder. I figure if I do the program and eat clean the weight will come of at a healthy pace.
In the past I wanted results now, that is not realistic. I know this is about a lifetime commitment of getting healthy and staying healthy. Now saying all of that I would like to see an 8-10lb loss each month. More than that I will be doing the happy dance less than that I will have to remind myself that I completed 30 days and that is a pretty big accomplishment too.

Week 1 Power 90 - DONE
Week 2 here I come. Today I completed Day 8 of my Power 90 work out (sculpt), officially starting week 2.
I am taking this one day at a time and am feeling really good about all I have accomplished. Cardio/Ab days are really tough for me. But I keep pushing play. Don't get me wrong, the sculpt days and the pushups are hard but the cardio days are even tougher for me.
I have a strong feeling I will move up to phase III-IV on my sculpt before I do on my cardio.
Make it a great day!

Power 90 Day 5
Day 5 Completed, Phase I-II Sculpt.
Whew! When I get to the 3rd circuit with the 7-7-7 pushups my grunting and groaning is definitely louder! The close pushups are really really hard for me. Wow!
Going strong and feeling great!
Keep Pushing Play!
Power 90 Day 4: 3/24/09
Day 4 completed, Cardio and Abs 100.
One of the transition moves during the Power Yoga I almost fall flat on my face everytime. It is pretty funny. It doesn't stop me from trying everytime. I will be a master at it one day!
Make it a great day!
Power 90 Day 3: 3/23/09
My Birthday! Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me!
Day 3 completed. Did Sculpt this morning.
My eating and drinking my water and taking my supplements have been spot on so far. Today is my birthday so my eating will most likely have a little variation in there that I normally wouldn't include. I am not trying to be perfect but trying to be good to my body. I have gotten stuck in that it is all or nothing mentality in the past and when I go a little outside of what I think is "perfect" than I beat myself up pretty bad and sometimes completely fall off the wagon.
I am taking it one day at a time. Yesterday is gone forever, Tomorrow is in the future, Today is right NOW.
Ok, enough of my ramblings. Make it a great day.
Keep pushing play.

Power 90 Day 2: 3/22/09
Day 2 done. Today was the Cardio and Abs.
Cardio is definitely tougher for me than the strength training at this point. But I did do the complete workout. Tina, I only cussed at Tony once! Eating is going great. Taking my supplements like I should.
Feeling Great!

Power 90 Day 1: 3/21/09
Day 1: I did it! Phase I-II Circuit. Completed the entire workout.
After completing the workout I realized we often don't give ourselves enough credit. Going into this I was so nervous, not thinking I was strong, just "knowing" I wouldn't be able to complete a single pushup. What did I learn? The first thing you do after your stretch are regular pushups and I did 8. 8! Why do we sell ourselves short? Not anymore. I realized today I am strong! Now tomorrow doing the cardio might be a different story.
