From P90X... to P90X PLUS, Tony-hand-signal... ;)


Round 2 Week 6 P90X Plus
Monday: P90X+ Upper Plus & Abs Core Plus & ATT Mtn. Biking

Wow -- what a week away. Only the third Deb, Will, and I have taken together as a family with no one else along. Not that we mind crashing/inviting friends and family on vacations, but we now realize how much more fun, and downright... relaxing... it is to set our own schedule, spent tons of quality time together, just as... us. The McLain's.

Myrtle Beach (SC) is a crazy tourist trap of insane fun, and I recommend it to all beach-loving families with kids of all ages. Just a hop, skip, and a jump south of the usual NC beach destinations, MB offers moutains of attractions, shell-loaded beaches, awesome food, easy driving on multiple routes up and down the Grand Strand, and more.

MagiQuest -- insanely fun way to burn a few hours with a wand and going on missions in a huge open space for kids and adults alike -- Captain George's for the ultimate high-quality seafood buffett -- Johnny Rocket's for throwback good time w/burgers and chili fries -- and more, more, more.

We'll be back. A solid week, with work well out of mind, relaxing and putting the workouts aside, digging huge trenches in the beach with Will to play war and make sand slides (one needed a backhoe to fill back in I'm proud to say!) and lots of indoor and outdoor swimming.

Ahhhhh... Now, back in the saddle.

The big UP w/Abs Core was nailed with great gusto this a.m. -- setting my alarm to 5:20 a.m. now to ensure max reps and add Abs Core to most days, and got through everything with only one added feature -- quaking of the chest and shoulders on some of the nuttier push up moves, it was the only feedback my body gave me for a week away from the routine. Which is fine... I powered through and got to the other side. Also back on the diet, all food stocked, and I'm ready to rock.

Now to open my ProQuest inbox and get back in the game at work. Have a great week!

Hey nice to find someone with the same last name on here. My husband and I are starting P90X today, any advice would be appreciated. Hopefully we have as much success as you.

Greetings Courtney -- well, another McLain. Awesome -- and I can guess how many times you've had to spell out that gem of a last name, you know -- no extra C, it's not Mac, or Lane on the end, and sure isn't an ie on the end. Am I right? ;)

Welcome to P90X! You're in for a great ride. You'll find all of my suggestions here -- http://mclainhome.blogspot.com/2008/04/round-2-week-3-p90x-monday-p90x-upper.html -- the biggest of which is DO THE DIET.

80% of your results = what you put into your bodies over the next 90 days. The workouts are 20%, but just as important.

Feel free to keep in touch, or even friend me on FaceBook as well. ;)
