I am lovin' P90X! As I stated in my earlier posts, I was concerned about the amount of calories they say that I should be eating (3000 per day) But I decided to give it a try this week. I never did reach the 3000 calories, but I for sure upped my caloric intake and broadened my diet. Oh yeah! It worked! I lost 3 lbs this week! I am very pleased!
About 5 years ago I did a program called 6 Week Body Makeover. I was successful in losing 40 lbs (which got me to my goal weigh) It obviously worked for me, but it was DANG hard. Not because of the exercise that was required, because they only had you walk 45 min. a day and a few light resistance exercises, but the diet was SO restrictive. But it worked for me. So, as I have been trying to lose weight this time, I have been trying to stick pretty close to the same diet, however, I was being much more active than the 45 min. of walking etc. I don't think I was giving myself enough calories. Being consistent with the P90X diet is SO much easier. I will for sure be able to do this long term. I am expecting to make it at least P180X ... It is going to take me at least 6 months to get to where I really want to be. But that is okay. I can do this!
And another thing that I was "re-taught" yesterday .... ACCESS BARS ARE HEAVEN SENT AND COMPLETELY NECESSARY!!! My husband has started working out with me, I hadn't planned on that, so we ran out of Access bars before I had the chance to order some more. We were forced to work out yesterday without them. It about killed us! We were both completely exhausted just a few minutes into it, until we hit our "natural" second wind (which is essentially what the Access bar provides from the moment you start working out) and we were both sore and achy for the rest of the day. This was a VERY different experience than what we have had all the other days! I will NEVER workout without an Access bar again! My order of Access bars won't be here until Wednesday, but luckily our awesome friend Bruce is lending us a box until then!
On a side note .. I hope all the mother's out there are having a fabulous Mother's Day! I already got breakfast in bed, a beautiful lily plant and a bonsai (dream) tree. Thanks to my wonderful family. :)
