I've finally finished "Week 1" of the P90X program. It only took 3 weeks! I started, got through day for, stopped for a few days, restarted, and completed it over a week and a half. And I'm not technically done. I just finished the final workout for the week. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to stretch or rest. I am damn dedicated! Haha! Next week will be better. I'm already seeing progress, and the more I do it, the better.
So, I started off at 153.4 lbs and after weighing this morning, I was 151.8 lbs. Not exactly the direction I planned to head as I don't really need to lose weight. Looks like I should probably eat a bit more. Aiming for proteins to build muscle and carbs for energy, but I understand I need fat too, and I need it all in a balance amount. If you have an ideas of some good food, that would help. I'm taking in protein powder after working out, and I've found these Balance Bars, which have a good amount of all three. I will probably start getting those a bit more. They taste pretty good, too!
On the plus side, my body fat % according to the bathroom scale did drop a bit. It went from 16.1% at the start to 15.5% today, so I'm well in the "fit" range. Funny because I don't feel fit.
I now have two reasons to get in shape. First, I want to go on bike rides with others again without getting absolutely beat after the first hour. It's just embarrassing. Fortunately, these workouts have plenty of cardio. But now, Melissa found a 5K at the end of June she'd like for us to do together. I used to be able to do that non-stop without too much issue, but I don't know about now. On top of the P90X, I'll likely start running outside when it's nice and I'm not alone with Aidan, or start cycling when I pick up my old bike from Melissa's mom. I'd just like to do this with her. It'd be a great goal for both of us, and we need some shared activities.
