Day 66 - 67
I took a day off on Wednesday. I was exhausted and wouldn't have had a great workout anyway, so I skipped it. I decided to do legs and back last night instead of doing yoga. I may skip yoga this week and re-arrange a few of these workouts. About 2/3 of the moves last night, I added some weight from previous workouts. My reps went down on a few moves, but I added some intensity with more weight. Abs are going okay as well. My major concern is still eating. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fix it.

Day 65 - Plyometrics
Last night wasn't so good. I only made it through about half of the video last night. I was feeling a little light headed and a little nauseated. I got a good 25-30 minutes in and then had to stop. Hopefully tonight things will be back to normal. I believe tonight is back and biceps. I will be curious to see how the pullups go. Usually with back and biceps, my arms are so tired that I can barely do any pullups. My hope is that I am actually getting stronger and that I will be able to do more tonight. I did buy some heavier weights as well. That may cause some issues as well. I am really trying to push myself.

Day 64 - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps with Ab Ripper X
Oh my. That workout blasted my shoulders. I added some weight and really pushed myself last night. That was brutal. I am sore this morning and last night I had a hard time taking a shower. My arms wouldn't go above my head. That was painful. I am glad I pushed myself, but wow. My arms are still a little in shock. I'm glad I have been getting through the ab video pretty good as well. I feel a lot better since I modified some of the moves. Things are getting a little easier though.

Day 61-63
Legs and back was pretty interesting on Friday. All of a sudden, I could do pullups. I'm not sure where it came from, but I ended up doing 70 pullups during the workout. That is a new record for me. I was pretty pumped about it. There are only 4 weeks left, 3 weeks of workouts and a recovery week. I am really going to try and eat well the last few weeks. I want to finish strong. I did manage to skip Kenpo this weekend. Kenpo is a decent workout, but doesn't do a whole lot for me. I know that is no excuse, but oh well.

Day 60 - Yoga X
Oh yoga. What is there to say about yoga? Another tough workout. My legs are once again, not very flexible. It may take a year for me to get some good flexibility in my legs and hips. I try, it just doesn't work. I have been really sore this week. I didn't think 2 weeks off would hurt this bad. Yikes. I am not looking forward to legs and back tonight. Wow.

Day 59 - Shoulders and Arms with Ab Ripper X
This is another good workout. The arms get ripped for an hour. That is always fun. No problems, everything felt pretty good. Shoulders are still a little sore from all the pushups on Monday. Triceps are a little sore today. I pushed it pretty good last night. I might need to get a set of heavier weights though. There are a few moves that could use a heavier weight. I may do that this weekend. Everything else is going pretty good. I am still struggling with my food intake. That is always going to be a constant struggle. I need to find out some way to get around this.

Day 58 - Plyometrics
Well, it was back to one of my favorite videos, Plyo. I'm not sure why, but it didn't seem quite as bad as normal. Don't get me wrong, I still don't enjoy it, but it didn't seem as rough as I remember. I managed to get through it all again. I am feeling pretty good about working out again. I have definitely been hungry the last few days. I am really started to burn some calories now. Almost 2/3rds done with the program. Pretty exciting.
