About P90X

Goooooood morning everybodyyyy

So I'm on week 2 of p90x and so far I haven't lost any weight yet. Granted, I started with the Classic version not knowing that there was a Lean version so last week, there was barely any cardio. This week however I'm doing the Lean version so yesterday was Core Synergistics X and today is Cardio X. I hope I can start seeing some results by Friday. I'm trying to have some patience.

Core Synergistics was alright. Since it was the first time I've ever done it I feel like I didn't quite perform that well since it was a learning experience. Today with Cardio X might be the same. I think the things I had the most trouble with were all the push ups. My upper body strength is poor but I am sure that just continuing on with this program will help me in that area. I was looking at my arms this morning and I think they are starting to firm up just a little bit. Hard to tell.

I definitely feel a difference in my overall mood and energy. I'm much more bright-eyed in the mornings. I look forward to the workouts at night too. I'm just happy this Lean version doesn't include the Plyometrics X dvd! Maybe it does later but for now it's all about cardio, strength training, and yoga.

As for the nutrition part, I'm going to bring the p90x shopping list to the Trader Joe's this weekend and will try to make a bigger effort to eat the way they say to. If those people look that way because they follow that eating plan, I might as well try it to instead of doing my own plan, which is to basically follow the no-sugar, no-flour, no-alcohol menu (almost impossible w/o a support group!!). I think the biggest help to me would be to just plan out all the meals ahead of time and eat left-overs all week or something instead of trying to make each meal at a time. I sort of wish they had a more vegetarian friendly menu but I am used to substituting things now.

That's it for now on the fitness trip.
