Hello Again

Whoa I am back. Have been working out religiously with Tony Horton and following the diet to a T. I have not really felt inspired to write on here as not much changes as you work out. Sure you get stronger and come across challenges but that is all part of it as I am sure most know. 

One thing I will say is that my eating habits have changed dramatically for the better since starting the plan. Eating clean and healthy is no longer what I look at as being just about P90X its about a whole life change and I feel good for it. It seems these days so many people are out of shape and eat really bad foods its shocking.. The healthier you get the more slug in the puddle energy you see coming from others.

Getting healthy is great, I feel good for it and look better for it. I am on my third week of Phase 2 now so rest week coming up (not really a rest though on P90X). Time flies when your having fun so I must be enjoying it even if some days I find myself cursing the TV with obscenities like You C**T Horton. Of course I don't mean it but boy you certainly get pushed with P90X.

My body fat has dropped from 23% to 14.8%. I will update more stats tomorrow and write more about the Phase 2 part which I started yesterday.

Hello Again

OK well I have decided to update this weekly seeing as changes happen slowly and time is often an issue.

After 29th September ( last post ) I completed the third week of P90x. Currently I am writing on Monday the 5th of October and will do on every Monday from now on. I have seen some excellent changes occurring physically and to say this is easy would be lying. My strength and tone has increased while my Body fat has dropped. It appears I have lost nearly 3 pounds of water weight and will now more start burning fat all over. From what I have read it takes around three weeks for the body to adjust to the high protein meal plan and from there after a loss in water weight the real lard starts coming off. My own personal pictures are showing the emergence of a more defined physique which is really satisfying to see.

The diet has been difficult some times especially weekends where I might want to eat a cake or drink a coke but I have not faltered and my will power has rode me through the tough spots. One thing that keeps me going is the thought of finishing the 90 days and seeing that although I have had changes they are not what they could of been if I had followed the diet correctly.

A positive thing that has come from this so far is that I got another background job in a movie, basically based on my physique. That has really boosted my motivation and I am so looking forward to the end result!!

This week ahead sees me not doing resistance training but allowing a rest....hmmmm yeah right. Though there is no weight training so to speak this week there is however a tonne load of new exercises aimed at getting the body ready for building mass in Phase 2. Today Yoga X again, tomorrow Tuesday will be Core Synergistics and boy does that look hardcore. Onwards and upwards!!
