Day 21

Really good workout yesterday. Normally I don't have any problems with the Plyo X workout. But, I decided to jump higher and squat lower. And it hurt.... We ended up going to Pizza Inn last night for dinner. I only had 3 slices and a bowl of salad. Hopefully that was ok. I think tonight i'm going to have some turkey bacon and a couple of boiled eggs. And I don't remember, but I think tonight's workout is shoulders and arms and possibly some ab ripper X.

Day 20

Well, it's day 20 and it's a Monday. Yesterday, I didn't have much in the way of food. I did discover that things you wouldn't think would have trans fats in them...do. I had some chili last night for dinner. It had .5 grams of trans fat. Here is a link to the wiki page on trans fats. Pay particular attention to the health risks section. Nutrition aside, the chest, back and ab workout was good. I started around 10:30 and the workout is about 72 minutes long. So, I was able to get a good workout, take a shower and then hit the hay. Today i've got a ham steak sandwich for lunch. My buddies and I usually have a "guys night out" on Mondays so dinner plans are up in the air. Tonight's workout is Plyometrics. It's one of my favorite workouts simply because I can do all of the exercises without struggling. :P

Day 19

The day of rest was good yesterday. I didn't eat much for breakfast or lunch, but last night was Amanda Hurdle's birthday party. I had a good sized rare NY Strip, mac and cheese, shrimp/pineapple kabobs, some cake and about 3 beers. Needless to say, I veered off on the nutrition plan a bit. But, it was a special occasion and the stuff I had was not terrible for me. Today is Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X. I'll do the workout sometime tonight. Haven't had much to eat today either. I went to the store and stocked up on my usual stuff: yogurt, hamburger meat, turkey bacon, oranges, etc... So, I'm ready to go for next week.

Day 18

The Kenpo workout was good yesterday. It's probably my favorite workout of the P90X program. Lots of movement and you really do work up a sweat. Yesterday, I had my usual breakfast and snacks as usual. For lunch, I had some fish. For dinner, I kinda splurged and had Nachos El Acapulco from El Acapulco. I don't think the meal was necessarily bad for me, but I ate a whole lot. Today is the usual nutrition routine except today is Rest X which means no workout. I have the option of doing Stretch X, but I really enjoy(and need) the one day off each week. I'm excited about dinner because it's my friend's wife's birthday and I'm going to bring some New York strips. I haven't had a steak in a while.

Day 17

I ended up having subway for lunch yesterday. And for dinner, I had ham steaks. The workout was good. I'm feeling a little soreness this morning. Today is Kenpo X. I've got my yogurt and orange, my protein bar, fish for lunch and I haven't decided on dinner yet. I just realized I really need a yoga mat. When doing ab workouts, it sucks doing them on carpet. Just an FYI for all you people out there.

Day 16

So, this is my first post. I feel like i've been slacking on my P90X workout so i'm creating this blog to keep myself motivated. Thus far, i've completed 15 days of the P90X workout plan. In those 15 days, I've gone from 160lbs to 152lbs. I didn't expect to lose so much weight. I'm really in it to bulk up in muscle mass. Anyway, today is day 16. I'm having a yogurt and an orange for breakfast, I forgot my protein bar today :( , so i'll have to get a snack from the vending machine at work for my mid-morning snack. I'll probably have some sort of grilled chicken for lunch, and a slice of cheese and a slimfast(I couldn't find any protein shakes, so i got a 12 pack of slimfast. Once i'm done with these, I have some whey protein mix) for my mid-afternoon snack. For dinner i'll have some fish. And, the workout today is shoulders and biceps with a little ab ripper x to finish it off.
