10W 2 1/2 Mile Run 8
Today I did my six 5.5 mile run! I’m actually pissed because, in my head, I plotted out a 6 mile course by putting together a route from my 4 mile run that would give me six. I ended up at 5.67! I think I need to start using a program or something to officially lay out my course.
Overall it wasn’t a bad run, It was hot and humid and i’m tired from running the Beachpalooza...

P90X day 90, Yoga-X and that's a wrap!
#P90X #yoga #fitness
P90X day 90 and we are done! 3 months of intense strength and core training delicately wrapped up with a last session of Yoga. This particular session comes at the perfect time as I have a 5k in about 5 hours from now. I am relaxed, stretched out and sweating like hell. This was the perfect way to start what is going to be a very busy day and end what was a very good 90...

P90X Day 89!!!!!! Core Syn.
#P90X #beachbody #core #fitness #healthy
One more day! I’m at the end, i’m sweating like crazy and my head is hurting but I finished core synergistics for the LAST TIME! I thought it would be a sloppy session because i just did it two days ago but NOOOO, better form, better numbers and more sweat!
So if you’ve ever been curious what Dreya Weber does for her other job outside...

P90X day 88 Stretch X- 10W2 1/2 marathon run 6
#P90X #shakeology #1/2marathon #running #vibram #fitness
Today has been a busy day! I went running first as today is my 4 mile day for the 10 week to 1/2 marathon training. I can’t say it was the fastest run but it was a strong run and i can feel me getting stronger as a runner. I’m able to push through at parts where I would normally stop and walk. Last time I said don’t...
fitcurves asked: I love your blog, its really inspiring reading someone posting about P90X that is honest and quite humorous at times. I am on day 4 and am surprising really enjoying it, it kicks my arse well and truly but at least I know my body is working. Congrats on nearly finishing :D

P90X day 87 Core
#P90X #fitness #weightloss #beachbody
3 more days to go! I did core synergistics this moring, i know i was suppose to do it yesterday but with the sinus infection and needing to go to the doctor I decided to do a switch. I “did” kenpo-x yesterday (ok not really since i hate kenpo but i ran so i think that adds up) and i’m did core today.
1. My goodness has my core gotten...

10w2 1/2 marathon day 5
#running #p90x #1/2 marathon #fitness
Switched it up a little today, I decided to run this morning instead of doing P90X. Actually what happened is I workup at 4:30 and thought, I don’t have enough time to finish core, but I can run my 3 miles while its cool out.
I need to get much better at calculating my distances because when I finished I had only done 2.5 miles. Granted the phone in...

P90X day 85 Yoga-X
#yoga-x #P90X #Fitness #weightloss
P90X day 85, the beginning of the end of my 90 day journey into xtreme fitness. I”m on the recovery week and for the first time it actually feels like a recovery week. I did Yoga X this morning and I don’t think I’ve had a better stretching session the entire 3 months. I ran 4 miles yesterday and i’m never the best about stretching...

5...4 mile run
#running #1/2 marathon #training #vibram
Today is my 5 mile run, 4 mile run. I grossly miscalculated my route and only ended up doing 4 miles but it was a hard 4 miles. Yesterday I did my 3 mile run while i was down visiting my son in Washington, Il (absolutely nothing like Washington DC). This run was clearly an experiment in man/fish mutation.
The air last night was hot and hovered at about...

M3W4D5 Leg,Back and Abs....That's IT!!!
#P90X day 82, this is the last strength workout and the last ab ripper x workout!!! If this was high school, i just took my last finals and the last week of school is just showing up until I graduate!
I”m so excited and exhausted that im kind of shaking right now. I ran last night and got up this morning and pushed myself through MOST of the legs. I wasn’t sure how well my legs...

10w2 1/2 marathon run 2....in the books
#running #marathontraining #P90X #dedication
Frankly, it was THAT bad running outside today. It may have been hotter but there was a breeze and more shade than there was on Tuesday. I also had on my camelbak which kept my hands free to run.
I took a trail at the beginning of my run thinking it would keep me out of the sun, but it actually shortcut .5 off the first mile. Rather than going back...

M2W3D3 Morning Yoga
I would really like to learn more about yoga when this is all over. From what I understand, the various poses increase blood flow and random stuff like that. Can someone explain to me WHAT THE SMURF THE 1/2 MOON POSE IS FOR?
OMG, i’m sore anyway from a run two days ago and the stretching is good for me but DAYUM! I feel like a baby learning how to walk, weeble wooble all over the mat....

M3W4D3 Last Back and Biceps
Day 80!
We are doing this people! 10 more smurf’in day and I will be a P90X graduate. For those of you on the same journey and close to finishing, stick with it. So many people quit the last few weeks and you can’t do that. I know it may feel boring at times and you’re tired and sore, but push through, you’re getting stronger and leaner and…X like!
Today was...

10 weeks to a 1/2 marathon Day 1
And so it begins….
Day 1, 3 mile run, 90 degrees, 80% humidity and I did it! I found this workout in Runners world and it basically said that the EZ run needs to be 3 miles and at a pace where you can carry on a conversation. I felt that I accomplished this, especially for the first 1.5 miles.
I started out slow, when i sped up i would maintain it until the point my breathing and...

Last Plyo-X session...must be repeated
P90X day 79, this should be my last plyo x session but i got up late and was only able to complete the first two rounds before I needed to stop and take a shower. I need to repeat this workout some time this week because it’s the last time and I’m not going to 1/2 ass it. We’ve come to far to let a little thing like the clock come between us.
So i’m thinking I’ll...

M3W4D1 OUCH!
P90X day 78 and this smurf’in hurt!
This is the last strength week of P90X as next week is the last recovery week and then i’m DONE! 90 days 22lbs and 3 inches off my waste….so far. I’m counting the chickens a little early but only because i can feel myself starting to build more muscle so the scale is going to go up.
This weekend was a bloated mess as far as my overall...

Hardest mile
I forced myself to go for an evening walk and a mile run. In total it was probably about 2 miles but the run was hell. I’ve been feeling bloated and sick all week. I know i have a sinus infection because i can “smell it” (gross i know but if you’ve had one you know what i’m talking about). I’ve been tired and probably borderline dehydrated all week. I...

M3W3D6 Kenpo-X...the baby edition.
I did kenpo this morning while holding a 9 month old who seems to be completely addicted to his fathers attention. Now that he’s learned to crawl, if iI go in one room, he’s following me moments later. He’ll crawl to me sit on his diapered butt and reach his arms up and smile that baby, teeth coming in smile that says “Pick me up, and hold me.”
So i did Kenpo-X...
No sleep til
I could not get up to workout this morning. My 9 month old is teething so in the middle of the night he cries. I get up early enough but sometimes I actually need to sleep and if I’m woken up during this time, no workout. I actually almost missed my train I was so tired. I guess that means ill be doing legs and back tonight after work.

M3W3D4 Yoga-Smurfin-X!!!

I made it to the LAST Vinyasa! This means I made it through Warrior III and Half Moon and all that stuff!
Finally, solid yoga x progress and i’m almost euphoric over this!
See people, it’s a process,...
Your Excuses Literally Possess You Like a Demon →
sayhellotocindy:
A great guy— a super smart guy— I know is ALWAYS* making excuses. Excuses for smaller things like perpetually being late; for changing plans; for not showing up; for why he can’t run.
Excuses for big things like why he never finished school or got a better job.
Always— ALWAYS apologizing afterwards for not doing what he said he would do.
I know I am not perfect. I make...

M3W3D3 "and his name is Daniel Haas"
Day 73 of P90X, shoulders and arms and I’ve finally figured it out!
When a member of project P90X has an exceptional workout, that member then gets a name, and his name is Daniel Haas, his name is Daniel Haas, his name is Daniel Haas…” (if you’ve never seen fight club, you won’t get the joke, but more importantly, something is seriously wrong with you….go rent...

2 miles
I ran two miles tonight. Felt decent but I need to get back into consistently running again. There is not amount of exercise to get you ready for running like…running. Funny how that works.
I found a pace that works steadily even if its a tad slow. I just have to accept i’m still building running legs and let my vibrams do the walking.
Lets see what happens tomorrow
Spice it up
First up, thanks to those who follow me. I really appreciate having an audience. Especially one that puts up with my lazy grammar and spelling.
Now. I need to spice up the look of my blog. I think its boring and I’m completely open for suggestions on themes.
If you have thoughts or just wanna say hi. Please do.

P90X Day 72 Epic Fail
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.
I knew I didn’t feel much like doing Plyo-X this morning. I feel heavy and tired, combined with 4am and this workout goes in the books as less than stellar. I think i’m also a tingle dehydrated and fighting a sinus thing. I made it 1/2 through the workout so that’s basically all the hard high energy stuff. Decent...

P90X Day 71
What exactly are German Stretch Techniques? They don’t appear to be that much different from…oh wait, there are not different at all from what Tony had the group doing. Some mornings, Tony is such an ass clown and this was one of those mornings.
I’m coming off my 3 day shakeoloy cleanse (I know it ended saturday) but i’m still feeling pretty wasted and this mornings...

I drove down state last night to visit my son, so im working out this morning, everyone is sleep and I can’t do pullups…I really don’t mind.

M3W2D4 Yoga-X This could be the day!
Just finished Yoga X. Day 67 and I just remember that I haven’t taken my 60 day pictures yet. Ugh! I really need to focus on that todo list aspect of my life.
Any way, I have a headache, a lack of food and I need to drink more water today headache. That being said, this morning’s yoga was pretty solid. I still can’t really push past Warrior III but i’m ok with that....

Difficult run
Just got back from a 2.1 mile run and it was pretty difficult. I’m learning that there is a solid difference between running on a track, running in a forest preserve and running on the street were every other step someone is stopping me to ask me about my cool shoes. (Yes vibrams rule and if you don’t have a pair you really need to check it out).
I was originally planning on going...

What are you going to do?
Fitspo blogs are all over the place with people reposting pictures of extremely fit guys and girls. Everyone love the look, everyone wants the look. The question is what are you going to do to get it?
Unless you’re willing to put in the work, the diet, the pain the early morning and late nights. Unless you are really ready to decide to get to that level of fitness, just keep window...

M3W2D3 Bi and back to the extreme
Day 65! I feel like i’m keeping a shipwreck log sometimes…day 65 and no sign of land, every thing is beginning to blur.
I feel GREAT this morning! I had a solid workout, broke into a good sweat and had a few laughs with Tony. Today’s funny moment is actually on the last exercise during strip set curls. The guy in the back goes to get a weight and tony asks he what he’s...
