Days 91 and 92
91 Upper PLUS and Abs/Core PLUS: Hard, fast placed and fun....abs and core is 20 minutes....dammm.
92 Interval X PLUS: Just as hard as plyo, I was sweating it up! It is only a 30 minute long workout with 3 levels of building intensity. I can tell already this workout is going to bring the results.

What's next.....P90x PLUS
Of course, when we ordered the P90x system they were offering P90x PLUS with it.
P90x says you can go on a maintenance schedule and expect to keep your results for about a month before you have to start all over again. From reading online some people just start over and keep counting the days, there results get better and better.
I am a little burned out on some of the exercises and I am looked to mix it up a bit.
So the blog continues :)
Today is day 91.

Recap
All and all P90x has been a fun and exciting experience. I had some workout where I really felt good and other I was really pushing it to just get through it. That is the hard part about being on such a tight schedule.
I do not feel as thought I got as "ripped" up as I expected. I know I am stronger and have muscle on my body. My endurance has increased and I did exercises I would have never dome in the gym.
We will post before and after pics soon. Thanks for following our journey.

88, 89.......90
88 Legs & back abs: Legs are a piece of cake by this point but I still hate all the pull ups and I was feeling them.
89 Kenpo: I traded Kenpo for 10 hours of horse riding, horse bathing and stall cleaning. I Think it was a fair trade I am still very sore from all those activities.
90 Rest: A very uneventful way to end but I needed it.

Week 12
Week 12......the last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not off to the best start. Definitely slacking a bit towards the end :( My diet was way off this weekend. But I am going to pull it back on track for the final days a really BRING IT.
Yesterday :Chest, Shoulders& Triceps, abs: skipped it all.
Today: Plyo. I had some serious making up to do today I hit yesterdays workout hard this afternoon. It felt good. Than this evening instead of plyo I ran/walked for 1 hour.
It is pretty serial looking back over all the worksheets and seeing all the weeks filled in. I have made some serious progress as far as strength goes. Exercises I could not do in week 1 I am now doing. Exercises I started doing using only 5lbs weights I am now using between 8lbs-15lbs weights.
5 days left! Today Thad surprised me with a P90x T-shirt to celebrate my completion of the program, if nothing else I will be able to say "I DID IT"!

Day 71- 72
Starting our second to last week.... very exciting.
71 Yesterday was Chest & back, abs: We were very busy and very tired and some how by the time we were ready to worked out I looked at the clock and it was 10pm. We went to bed, I felt very guilty for skipping especially this close to the end.
72 Today is Plyo: A lot of making up to do today. Thad ran and did abs this morning. I ran and abs this afternoon. We will make up chest and back tonight and be back on schedule. (phew)

Day 66- 70
66 Back and biceps, abs: I did some 20lb bicep curls!
67 Yoga: Did 30 minutes, I have skipped yoga the last couple of weeks and I could tell. I lost my flexibility and I worked up a good sweat in just 30 minutes.
68 Legs and back, abs: My cold finally hit hard and I had to miss my first lifting day.
69 Kenpo: Caught up on legs and back, abs.
70 Rest: I will either catch up up on Kenpo or I will run, haven't decided yet :)
Thad was on his long week so I have a feeling he will be putting in some double time this next week.

Week 9 Days 57-63
50 Chest & Back, Abs
51 Plyo (Thad did it with me, it was only his 2nd time, he definitely felt it.)
52 Shoulders & Back, Abs
53 Yoga, skipped it.
54 Legs & back, Abs, we switched it up and did abs first it was a nice change and I had more stamina.
55 Kenpo x, Ran 3.4 miles instead. That's a 5k, I ran it in 33 minutes. That's all P90x results.
56 Rest Day
We are ready for week 9. We have had some of the best dinners on this new meal plan. We are eating so much more in one meal. Personally I may go back to the fat shredder diet for some meals so I look my best for day 90 pictures.

Update
We are starting the last phase, 4 weeks left to really bring it. We get a new diet for the last 4 weeks it is the Energy Booster. The last 4 weeks I defiantly gained strength but I also feel as through I am not as trim from the first 4 weeks diet the fat shredder.
I am really going to focus on the diet these last 4 weeks. As the weather continues to be nicer I hope to walk and run a few days a week too (last week I walked 2 and ran 1).
Thad skipped this whole last week and he has been slacking on the cardio days (plyo and kenpo). I am hoping that we can both get excited for these last couple of weeks and really bring it!
If nothing else day 90 pictures should keep us motivated.
