I started the P90X program yesterday. I have to say that I was way more excited than I anticipated. First of all, there are a few friends who are doing P90X also and we all started yesterday. Craig started with us, too. My first workout was Kenpo X. It is a great workout. From the perspective of a fitness instructor, it is a perfect workout. So many fitness elements and any body can do this workout. I am VERY PLEASED with P90X so far.
I also am following the meal plan for P90X. As much as I hate having to spend so much time thinking about what I eat, I actually love it. I need structure in my health and wellness and especially when it comes to food. I just don't care enough about myself to make healthy meals so I sort of snack all day. I don't necessarily pig out but I can't really say how much I eat because I don't keep up with what I am eating.
The meal plans in P90X are giving me the structure that I need. I used the Meal Portion plan so I keep up with how many different categories of food to eat. For instance, I need 7 proteins and the meal guide even gives suggestions for proteins for me to eat. I eat sort of healthy already but being a little more rigid in my eating in only one day and I already feel better.
I guess I can say that despite feeling burdened with having to think about what to eat so much, I am happy to finally have some structure in my eating.
Today is Day 2: Stretch. I had to set my calendar up so that my lightest P90X day coincides with my off day from teaching Zumba so that my body can recover. I look forward to stretch.
Looking forward to seeing results in 90 day!
