When starting out I hadn’t planned on doing an experiment of Diet vs, Exercise or Diet and Exercise, but I did.
You probably hate dieting, i don’t know anybody that does. So when I began my journey to a better body I ate the same stuff, for better or worst, as I had been eating.
Without a good diet you will see and feel changes in your body within the first 10 days of the P90X . You will start to firm up, your cloths will fit looser… in short you’ll see …

I’ve been a bit remiss about posting… so just to let you know.. the dream continues
I’ve now completed round 2 of P90X and even then I relaxed a bit, let me tell you why…
My metabolism is on fire, I eat healthy but eat  A LOT.  I’m the guy that thought a fat burning metabolism was something you were born with, not something you could train your body to become (I was wrong)
I’m not sure if it’s the Shakeology I start my day with, but I’m kinda guessing that helps a …

I gotta say this up front… guys usually don’t have “skinny” jeans.  We’ll keep sweatshirts, Hawaiian shirts, bomber jackets forever, mostly ’cause they are hard to grow out of (aka: get too fat to fit into).
So what I did was buy what were going to be my “skinny” jeans. so I went out and bought a pair of 30 inch waist Levis.
I had already lost a bunch of weight, but didn’t want to buy some temporary jeans, instead I thought i would walk around in my current, now over-sized jeans, …

OK this is not bragging.. it’s just plain excitement
I weighed myself yesterday and have made more than half-way to my weight loss goal of 30 pounds.
having started out kind’a slow, with maybe a tad overly optimistic goals, it is darn sweet to have crossed the half-way mark.  While I never expected to lose all 30 pounds in 90 days, I had the ambitious goal of losing 25 lbs, with P90X workout…
with about 2 weeks left I think I’ll make it at least to 20 or maybe even 22 …

In just a couple of days I’ll be getting taking my 60 day pictures, to show my progress (or lack thereof) in the 90 day p90x workout.
I think the pics will show progress, but I wanted to fill you in what’s been going on with my P90X diet
First off I did catch some sort of flu or virus (I’m positive it wasn’t H1N1) that kept me down for 4 days, so I just added 4 days to my time line.. so I guess they will be 64 day pictures
Second.. I have to …

I’d say the last time I really exercised… I mean REALLY put forth an effort, was just before I married in 1980
Oh sure I used to play golf… as one friend said “to keep the rust off” but even that ended, when my back required 2 days of recovery, after a round of golf .
So as time passed an extra pound here, an atrophied muscle there… before I knew it I have a figure that resembles a russet potato, with pipe cleaners appendages…
Not a pretty sight…
It’s not like I didn’t …
