P90X Update

Alright, week 3 is in the books!  It's taken a lot of motivation the last couple of weeks to finish the week off...I tend to dread the Yoga and Kenpo, even though neither one is too terribly bad.  The yoga workout just takes a ton of time.  Anyway, it's always nice to be re-energized by stepping on the scale on tuesdays!  Down to 195.0 today, which is 3.6 pounds lost in the last week and 15 pounds lost over three weeks!  The most noticeable area is in my abs.  I'm heading into my "recovery week", which has yoga twice :\ and is more cardio based, so I'm not exactly looking forward to it.  This will also be my last week of the Phase I fat shredder diet, which I've actually become accustom to and enjoy.  The next phase I'll have one less protein, one less veggie, one less dairy, and two more carbs.  None of those should cause many problems for me since most days I didn't all 7 proteins and I always had to catch up on dairy and veggies after getting home from work.  I'm looking forward to some bread, pasta and/or rice dishes.  I'm really looking forward to the third Phase when I can have 3 fruits a day, its amazing how much you look forward to fruit when that is the only sweet that you have.  Not drinking alcohol, soda, or fruit juices is workout just fine for me.  Same thing with not eating sweets, although yesterday someone brought donuts into work and it took some will-power not to have a little sliver of one.  Almost all of the reviews and such that I've read online are by people that aren't following the diet as strictly as I am, but I figure why not?  It isn't terribly difficult and it's not like I can't eat the things I enjoy.
