Day 9: Morning After

Compared to a week ago, I'm on top of the world. There are still parts of me that are sore, like random spots on my back, and my legs a little bit, but all-in-all I'm mostly just tired, and I can still move around.

Breakfast consists of a 3 egg omelet with Double Gloucester cheese, and a nice glass of pomegranate juice. The last couple of days has really got me concerned about not following the diet. I keep telling myself, that just manage portions, and don't eat sweets, which I have been avoiding, but I don't know if the improvements I've been seeing are being stagnated by my diet. I have 81 days to go, and I'm already worried about this, ha.

I've read that some people hardly lose any weight in the first month, and suddenly dump a bunch in the second month, others shed quickly and then plateau on the fast loss, but build up mucho muscle. That will be cool if I do shed some weight, but I'm thinking Round 1 of P90x is for the workouts, and round 2 (my second 90 days) will be for the meals. I want the best chance for success, and I think both diet and workouts would really derail me on this go, especially since money is a constant issue.

Alright, breakfast is done, time for an incredibly hot shower and then off to work. Tonight is Plyo and I can't wait! :)

  2. I think everyone agrees that the diet part is the most challenging aspect of P90X. But I think you're doing fine for at least taking it slow and methodical, eliminating things that you should cut down or not eat as you go.

    Here's a very helpful guide on how to slowly eliminate junk and get on track on the right diet:
