P90X Lean: Weekly Update

Day 36-42:

Core Synergistics:
**burned 491 calories

Plyometrics:
**burned 530 calories

Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps/Ab Ripper:
**burned 346 calories

Yoga:
**I didn't wear my heart rate monitor today. I feel like it gets in my way during yoga.

Legs and Back/Ab Ripper:
**367 calories burned

Alternate Cardio:
**Cathe's IMAX Extreme
**653 calories burned


Thoughts on the week:
**I tried wearing my heart rate monitor for all workouts(except yoga and stretch) just to get an idea of how many calories I'm burning. It's about what I thought which makes me feel good--I like that I am able to gauge my own intensity even if I'm not wearing the monitor.
**Food: the usual problem. It really stinks that 80% of your results are based on what you eat(10% genetics, 10% exercise). I try to keep telling myself that food is fuel but darn I really like to eat and not always healthy. I'm going to do more work with my journal next week. I may use Weight Watchers Points next week just to see where I am at food wise.

Hmm, the heart rate monitor might be useful for me to try out. I was wondering how you knew how many calories you were burning. Good luck, you are doing great!

Hi! I googled "how many calories bured during p90x plyometrics" and got to your page. Normally I would have just gleaned the information I needed and left, but I am astounded to meet someone who shares so many of my interests. Knitting, writing, p90x, humor like "where my stitches at" which made me laugh for quite a while...everything was going swimmingly until I saw that you're in Ravenclaw :P

Anyway, not a stalker or anything, just wanted to say hi! Good luck with p90x. I'm on day 2 of my second 90 days...I lost a lot of weight and carved out some serious definition in the first 90!

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...
