Starting to feel it...

If my body was an NHL Franchise, 3/4 of my roster would be on the disabled list.

My butt is sore, my chest and delts are sore, my legs are sore and even my abs are sore. Whether this is a testament to the rigours of P90x or the unfortunate lack of exercise for several weeks leading up to P90x I don't know...all I know is that I'm definitely feeling it after the first two days. I've got more resistance training tonight (Shoulders and Arms) and I can't wait, even though I don't imagine it'll be nearly as grueling as Plyometrics.

Whenever I sneeze today, I wince...here's hoping I can get up off the mat to give Ab Ripper another honest shot.

Eating...
I believe in the "Calories in, Calories Out" way of thinking when it comes to nutrition, so as far as my diet goes I'm continuing with my modified P90x plan where I stay within 2,500 calories and shoot for at least a gram of protein per lb of bodyweight. I figure that if I'm hitting 160-180 grams of protein a day the rest of the calories I get from my carbs and fats will fill in the gaps (I like to load up a little on carbs before resistance training). I'm still eating "clean" but mainly just so I can spread my meals out as efficiently as I can and not lump too many calorie dense meals together. I'm not as hungry for lunch anymore and I'm also not eating as much at noon as I usually do which keeps me from hitting that post-lunch fatigue I used to experience back in the day. Granted, I'd cook a pound of ground beef and mix it with green peppers, rice and pasta sauce, so just in re-reading this passage I can tell P90x is already helping my portion control. (Kind of miss those days, but heck...the times they are a-changin').


Day three, going strong!
