Alright, week number 1 of P90X is just about in the books! Tonight I have Kenpo X and then tomorrow is my stretch/rest day. When I went in for a doctor visit, a month or so ago, I weighed 210 lbs. A week later I bought a scale and still weighed 210, so it was an accurate measurement. Stepped on the scale yesterday and I was at 201.6 lbs. Not sure what to attribute that to, because I've only been doing the workout 6 days. I did start the nutritional plan a week earlier though, so that probably has something to do with it. Right now, I would kind of be surprised if my weight dropped any further by the end of Phase because I should be building muscle now and my weight as already dropped a fair amount. It would be awesome to be around 180 or 185 at the completion! The lowest my weight has been since freshman year of college was 197, so here's hoping that I see that line crossed relatively soon! I'm sure I can, just need to keep showing up.
As for the workouts, they are rough but in a good way. At the half way point of each one, it feels like I'll never make it all the way through...but I do. The second half doesn't seem to be as bad as the first half. I always have to tell myself to "keep pressing play" and I'll get through the 90 days. It feels nice to almost be 1/3 of the way through the first phase...and nice knowing that i'm that much closer to adding a few carbs to my diet.
Meal cost wise, it's not terrible and I eat pretty well. Last night I had pork tenderloin and a veggie steamer packet, the night before that it was tuna steak and mango salsa, and tonight it'll be chicken breast and steamed green beans. Aside from that I've been eating salads for lunch, greek yogurt and a fruit for snacks, and granola or eggs for breakfast. It sure feels like I'm eating more food than I used to, albeit much better food.
