Day 12 of P90X....    still going.

I took my parents to Dim Sum in Monterey Park today, then afterwards came back to my place and watched 2 dvds.  Pretty relaxing day.

After I took my parents home at 9pm I did my P90X.  Almost didn't want to do it though.  But I'm determined to keep up with my 90 days, so I popped the disc in and finished Kenpo!

Bring it!

 

P90X Yoga Yesterday.

P90X Legs, Back, and Ab Ripper X today.

I'm really not a night time workout person.  Much prefer mornings.

Sticking with mornings.

I kind of didn't log my food Friday and today, cause it's hard when I'm out.  But I'm going to try and be better tomorrow.

Lots of protein, lower carbs, trying to shed the fat.

 

I did my shoulders, arms, and tris this morning.  Finished with ab ripper.  The moves itself are not hard, but to do it with pefection is.  You start sweating five minutes into the warm up and you don't stop till you're done with your shower.

 

Breakfast was 2 turkey bacon strips, 8oz skim milk, and 1 scoop protein powder.  I’m feeling pretty good.  I’ve been eating way more than I have over the past few weeks, but very clean.  I’ve only seen about 1.5 pounds of weight change, but I feel better cardio wise and a little more toned.  I’m counting on P90X to give me some good results.  I’ve read most of the newsletter on beachbody website, and a quite a few blogs of P90X-ers.  Looks promising.

 

Lunch is going to be ½ cup brown rice, 3oz beef flank with scallions and chili, 1 cup of steamed veggies.

 

I still haven’t done my ‘before’ pictures yet, really should take them tonight.

 

Day 2.  This morning I did my P90X plyometrics.  It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t that bad either.  I didn’t feel as nauseous as I did yesterday so that’s a good thing.  I’m obviously still far from doing everything with perfect form, but hopefully with time that will change.

Breakfast today was 2 scoops Isopure protein powder 0 carbs, 2 slices of turkey bacon, and 1 eight oz. glass of 1% milk.

Lunch, ½ cup of brown rice, 3oz of grilled salmon, and 1 cup of steamed veggies with seasoning to taste.

Snack, 1 string cheese, 1 apple.

Dinner, repeat of lunch.

Not very interesting.  But if that’s what it takes, then fine.

 

Went to Albertson after work today; stocked up on food for the next few days.  Really tired now.  Going to watch tv in bed for a little bit, then go to sleep.  Early day tomorrow.

Today was my first day doing P90x.  Chest and Back + Ab Ripper.  And boy it was rough.  I felt really HARDCORE!  Funny thing though is that I could only do 1/10 of what Tony and his gang was doing on the dvd.  Then by the time I got to the ab ripper, I could barely lift my limbs, let alone climing up my leg, turning side to side with legs in the air… pppfff, yeah right!  I wanted to throw up at the end of the workout.  Yup.  But nonetheless, I still felt great afterwards!  Tomorrow is plyometrics at 6:00 AM.  I’m determined to do the 90 days!

 

I’ll be taking my BEFORE pictures tonight; will keep progress pictures.

 

I’m also going to follow their diet and eat CLEAN.  So for breakfast today I had:

 

1 Cup – 1% milk

3 scrambled egg whites w/ a little salt, pepper, and butter spray

3 oz. of skinless chicken breast

 

Lunch:

 

2 Cups lettuce

3 oz chicken breast

2 Tablespoon fat free balsamic dressing

Dinner will be:

 

3 oz salmon

1 cup – brown rice

 

Snack is:

 

1 medium banana

3 oz. chicken breast

3 scrambled egg whites w/ a little salt, pepper, and butter spray

 

With that schedule I’m still short 600 – 800 calories.  I may add in a protein shake right when I get home from work, or maybe some nuts.  Not sure.  We’ll see.

I ran into one of my mom's friend at Chino Hills 99 Ranch yesterday....    And the first thing she said to me was, "OH! You're pregnant again!"                    I replied, "No.  I'm not.  I'm just fat."

Okay, I think that was a sign I should really get serious about getting back in shape.
