That's what's up lobo, continue to bring it. Let me know when you start man! I recommend working out a week before you start cause it's pretty intense. It prepares you for not wanting to quit.

well...done with week one. here's a strange result...i've never in the past decade felt such a strong desire to quit smoking. not that i want to...but it seems like i've gone from a pack and a half a day to like 5 cigs a day. every time i light up all i can think about is, "man oh man am i gonna regret this in the morning."
haven't dropped any weight...still sitting at 6'2" and 205 LBS. hopefully i can get down to about 185-190. honestly, i don't know how far into this program i will go. lots of muscle training, which i don't need or want. i think my hour would be better served jogging or bicycling. i am also very self-conscious even when i am alone. when doing plyometrics all i can think about is, "oh dear god what if someone saw me doing this..." i remember we caught a kid "shadow boxing" in gym in like 8th grade and STILL make fun of him for it when he isn't around. i'm gonna give it another 3 weeks and then at day 30 decide if i wish to finish it.
i am feeling a bit more limber, and my wrists and shoulders which are normally on fire (i have advanced carpal tunnel syndrome) seem to be feeling better than they have in months, which may be enough reason to continue in and of itself. i'm not really following the diet plan at all, other than eating small amounts frequently. i am supposed to give up heavy cream? i work as a chef, so fuck that.
also i sure wish someone else would remake these DVDs. i HATE HATE HATE listening to this douchebag. once i've seen them all one time, it is mute from here on out.

Lol, yea alot of people cannot stand Tony Horton, but he has me rollin' during the vids!
I wouldn't recommend checking the scale all the time and let your physical appearance do the talking for you. Also, if you not going for muscle build, you can always do the p90x lean routine and on resistance days do low weight higher reps. During the lean routine there isn't many resistance days though.
About the self-conscience thing, I dunno what you have to be afraid of lol. Unlike the shadow boxing incident there's thousands of people doing the EXACT same thing your doing so I wouldn't see what the problem would be.
Also, i just finished chest, shoulders, triceps today and I must say I am very impressed with my progress. I pulled out 15 psycho push-ups today, something I have never been able to do. If you don't know, psycho push-ups are a combination of clap push-ups and getting your whole body off the ground. Well that's not the technicle name, I just call them that because Tony talks about how he's about to go psych lol.
Lol, also, I was able to pull off 6 one-arm push-ups! Now this is a big deal for me, because I've never been able to do a one arm push-up in my life! I've always wanted too, but never succeeded. I am very happy about this!

I dunno, you tell me if you notice a difference?
Lol, and just because I wanted too:
.........Cause it's the X!
