Day 40

Today is day 30 of the program... ugh the carpet cleaners were here and there goes 3 to 4 hours, luckily I got my workout and hot tub time just before they got here. I still need to take my 30 day pics today, since it is actually 30 days.

Week 5, Day 2 Triometrics done. Triometrics is very similar to Plyometrics from P90X. Well, when I say similar, it is the type of activity that is similar. Plyometrics is simply jump training. Therefore, Triometrics is the same thing essentially, but it has 3 speed or intensity variations. 3 = Tri... Simple. The workouts are not the same as plyo, but similar. Lunges and squatting with jumping incorporated.  I was worried that my right knee was not going to hold up well after tweaking it on Sunday, but it went well. I hope my knee will continue to just get stronger and not get "tweaked" like that again. Knowing the location of the pain, it is most likely the patellar tendon. I tweaked it doing the lunge portion of Dynamix and the movement was slow and deliberate, not forced or out of control. It seemed to not be a problem today, but I was sure not to push that knee too hard.

Yesterday I did Eccentric Upper which had nothing to do with my legs so they got a good break. I know tomorrow is X3 Yoga but I am not sure of the rest of the week. I will have Eccentric Lower (I'm assuming a lower body workout), MMX (like Kenpo X but a mixed martial arts feel) and another. It might be CVX or something cardio I'm sure. I will just have to make sure that I am taking care of the joints and may need to do the Cold Start on leg days to get the joints warmed up.

I feel that things are going the way they should and if I had that camera working, I would be able to show that now. The batteries on my camera are dead, so it will be Thursday before I can get to taking the pictures since I will be out of town tomorrow. I have to get up extra early to do the X3 Yoga and be out of the house at 8am to drive someone to a family member to a Dr appt at noon. The trip is 3 hours one way, so I will be in the car most of the day. That is why I have to get around early to get my workout in before we take off. I could do it tomorrow night, but I think doing the yoga before getting in the car will actually be a benefit for me on the trip. Not sure if I will have hot tub time or not, but I will try to squeeze that in as well.

Here are the day 1 and day 30 pictures. I have gone down approximately 5 to 6 total inches and about 20 pounds of weight. I plan on through several rounds losing as much as I can, but I want to lose around 120 lbs. It's just a start, but as long as I keep pushing myself and eating as clean as I can, it will happen.
