R2D21 – X Stretch, Weight & Measurements

Xstretch

Today like I mentioned I worked 8hrs doing cable management in one of the class rooms, and I had to redo lots of network cable from scratch, and when I say that I don’t mean connecting it to the computer, I mean actually measuring, cutting and crimping RJ45 connectors on the cables, I love that kind of stuff it’s fun LOL. After I got home, I did my X Stretch.

I had not done X Stretch at all on this round of P90X, first one I had no time and took it as a rest day, second I had to take a Monday as a rest day due to family b-day dinner and not having time to workout, but today I was able to do it, even though next week is recovery week and I have X Stretch in there twice. It is very important to stretch. The stretches I am working on are still Camel and back hero.

Lets go to what matters today, which is weight and measurements…

First off I will say that the factor that my diet was pretty messed up this week, it did make a difference and not in a good way LOL.

As you can see all I lost visible on the scale was 0.4lbs, but that is because I lost 1.6lbs of fat and gained 0.8lbs of lean body mass, I gained some muscle, possibly on my back and arms. I am so glad I check my body fat or I would be even more disappointed with that, considering that I have been losing anywhere from 3 to 4lbs a week, this is a bit sad LOL, I still have 24.2lbs of fat that I need to get rid of, well most of it as it is mostly still on my abdomen LOL.

As you can see I gained 0.5” on my shoulders so basically my back. I did loose a bit on my chest and waist but nothing on my abs which I normally loose from there. Well that’s what happens when there are so many B-Days all together LOL and summer is here and you tend to enjoy it LOL. I am sure I will get back on track, I am pretty conscious about this, it’s not like I am doing it without remembering and keeping my goals in mind.

What do I plan to do? Well if I can I will be trying to go out and jog or take long walks. Next week I only have 1 day of work, so I am off most of the week, besides house work I will be trying to go out and do some cardio, either walking or jogging.

Well tomorrow starts my first recovery week for this Round and I start with Yoga X.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
