Yeah Kate I will have to check out that thread! I draw brain farts so often!
Alki covered most of the stuff Kayla, but if you have anything but a carpet floor you will want a nice mat too. We have tile floor, which is very unfriendly to the exercises that you do on the floor (mainly abs and stretches!)
I went cheap and go that Golds Gym puzzle mat at walmart for 20 bucks. There are six peices..so enough for two separate mats or one big one for yourself! Plus they are thicker than your average yoga mat. Although they smell like moth balls for awhile lol!

Holy moley! I just got home and weighed myself again (it's really too obsessive)..but I weigh 153.8 now..which I find odd because I have been drinking water and coffee all day. I ate a high fiber low cal bagel, banana, cauliflower with cream of mush soup, and ham n bean soup..which ended up being only 505 calories.
No BM's either!? Hmmm. My only explanation is the never ending period I have had for about 2 weeks now.
It came and then went down to a weird pattern for about five days were there would be nothing......until just when I got home from work it would come back a little...Then on my two days off it happened right away in the morning (talk about taking a blow to the sex life spontaneity...booo) And now I have it super heavy again! GRR!
I used to use the Nuva Ring before I switched to the Implanon in Nov. It was fairly regular till the last few weeks..not as regular as the ring, but not a pain like this one. The statistics say women get little or no period after six months of use..I just hope I don't have to bleed to death until then..nasty!
Whatever the case, at least the numbers on the scale are still going down.

Ok well Day 8 of P90x....round two of Chest and Back.....
Yuck I probably hate this one the most, but I did the best that I could....
And eating went well today too, 1355 calories.
For supper I made pineapple shrimp on rice...MMMMM our fav!
I trimmed calories down even more than usual..so today for two servings...
8oz shrimp 160
2 servings rice 300
13 oz red bell pepper 100
3.8 oz portabella mushroom 30
1 tbls oyster sauce 25
200 grams pineapple-100
spenda-0
lemon juice-0
Total of 715..which is about 360 calories per serving! Not too shabby! I managed to cut out the oil this time by using a crapload of PAM spray for the wok. I also used to put a little brown sugar in for added flavor, but it seems like the splenda did well on it's own leg too!
So if you'd like to make it, get your rice cookin.........
saute peppers,
add mushrooms saute
add shrimp and pineapple, thoroughly cook....add minced garlic, lemon juice (maybe quarter cup..enough to keep a little liquid on the bottom of the pan, black pepper, pepper flakes, and oyster sauce. Add splenda till desired flavor of sweetness.
Throw on top of the bed of rice and perfect!

OK day 9! Plyo!
Went well, today I doubled up on socks because the movements of this video can burn/rub your toes.
Calories went good today 1290...yet I am still debating on having some "healthy" desert
For supper I made spaghetti with the leftover lean ground beef and managed to keep the meal to 450 calories a serving! Booyeah! I will write the recipe later as I am tireeeeeeeeeeed. I didn't sleep well last night.

DAY 10! Woo double digits baby! Arms and Shoulders and AbRIPPER
Workout went well today......anddddddd I got my heart rate monitor in the mail today just before the workout!
I got the Polar FT4, simple to use...(so easy, a caveman...yes haha) Anyways it shows your heart rate and calories burned! The only annoying thing is that it beeps at you when your not at your "target" heart rate range...and with weightlifting that was pretty much the WHOLE time.
None the less, it said I burned 387 calories for just about an hour and 10 minutes. Not too shabby! I hope it is accurate. I will need to do some more research and tests with the HRM later.
Anyways food was great again today. I made Scalloped Potatoes for supper with leftover turkeyham, broccoli, cottage cheese, and cream of mushroom soup. It ended up being a big plate but only 350 calories a serving! Not bad
1210 calories...maybe I will have a sugar free chai tea latte later

Day 11, Yoga......
Well we skipped yoga today. My Bf decided he wanted to lift more weights and I wanted to do more cardio. So after cleaning the house I went for a 22 minute jog, which burned 240 calories as per my HRM. (The cleaning burned 366 in an hour and 20 mins)
So it was a bit of a challenge the eating part yesterday as I had to do some training at work. So everybody went out to Dion's pizza. I ordered nothing, because I could not find a calorie menu online, and the *******s didn't carry one in the restaurant.
Then one of my coworkers ordered a large pizza and plopped it right down in front of me! AH! It looked so so good..and everybody (all guys) kept telling me to have a piece.......While I probably could have..I didn't even know where to guesstimate the calories so I decided to wait. Even though I was running on 270 calories I made it till 2 pm till I ate again.
So since I saved so many calories I made my own pizza last night I got it to 650 calories for my HALF of the pizza.....much more satisfying
So total was 1270...even with pizza! Yay.
Now for the challenge...going to my BF's mom's house and eating the wonderful Mexican food she makes......ug I ALWAYS stuff myself..for one it is great..and two, she makes 14 different things and sometimes I feel like I should eat them all not to be rude LOL.......silly me.
So yes.......Almost to two weeks.....

YUM and she made lasangia too, which yes..diet spoiler! I didn't pig out too bad....but we did go out for drinks and I probably had 450 calories worth I don't think I went over 2000 by any means, but I hate not having the numbers!

Day 13 REST!!!
Well we did more shopping than resting....Home Depot, Lowes, Home Depot.......ug I got some good deals on some stuff, but damn we spend more time in there than walmart! I had eaten really good all day until we decided to sit in the jacuzzi and eat NACHOS! LOL. That had to have been 600 calories at least...do I really want to know?
But day 14 is back to buisness.

Day 14 KENPO!
This time I had my heart rate monitor, it was 412 calories burned in one hour. I expected to burn more as I burned 400 from back and arms the other day..oh well!
Supper we had pork steaks, baked fries, and veggies. So all added up it was 450 calories...for a total of 1220 food intake today. Not bad, have to get back on track from this weekend!
My lower back is hurting like crazy today though since Kenpo..not sure if it is that or just from the day. We ate at 9:30 so...LATE and now time for bed LOL...where does the time go!

It sounds like you are following the "Classic" version of P90X. I am trying to drop pounds and tone so I am doing the "lean" version.
Its really hard, but so worth it. Keep in mind if you are not eating at least 1500 calories a day, your body will work against you..
I am having a hard time eating 1600 calories a day (I also do cardio daily)..

Day 15! Start of week 3!
Back and Chest , Abripper....again I still hate this workout the most, and that is because I have to do girly pushups and girly pullups. I am feeling the soreness in my lats biggggtime!
According to the HRM I burned 270 calories in just over an hour.
So for the day I ate 1345 calories. I was thinking of creeping up on the calories instead of 1200. I don't know yet as I have had such good results already. I even dropped a pound this morning from yesterday! I think I was retaining water all weekend because I was that low last week before the weekend. Anyways I am getting close to the 140s.....I want to keep up the momentem!

Day 16 PLYO!
Ug tired after today! Plyo burned 460 calories for 1 hour! I felt it I think more today as I pushed myself to do better form with each exercise. My right knee felt a little tweaky half way through but I adjusted as I could.
So I splurged today and had 1500 calories......what put me over was a piece of bread with LESS than a serving of PB and J! It was still 225 total! Bummer, it's so good too.......so much for a low cal desert hehe
