Stacey’s P90X Progress











{August 11, 2008}   Day 29 – 1st Day of Phase 2

So, I didn’t give up :) Even though I haven’t lost any weight – I am choosing to keep going anyway, because I figure weight loss isn’t the only measurement of health and I am really doing this for health overall anyway so I should just keep going for my own good. I definitely need to keep working on my diet part of this life change, as someone posted in one of my comments, and I will start looking into the P90X diet plan.

Also, I was so annoyed yesterday that I went and got some body fat calipers at GNC just to double check and be sure (I had been using the digital scale in my bathroom before), and turns out I did not gain an extra 2% body fat as my scale told me, I am still just the same as when I started. And my scale reflected that when I weighed again this morning as well. Guess it was just off kilter yesterday :/

So Today I did Core, as usual, and I am pleased to report that this time I even did some moves I generally skip over! Banana Rolls seemed a little easier than last week, and I used a weight on Leaning Crescent Lunges and Squat X Press, which I usually don’t. I still can’t really do Side Hip Raise or Reach High and Under Push Ups much at all, but I did the Bonus Round moves today! Obviously I did not get as many reps as the people in the video did but this was my first time not just being burnt out and skipping them altogether so that was nice.

In conclusion, I clearly need to make some diet changes since I am exercising my butt off compared to my sedentary lifestyle before, and I am definitely getting stronger so maybe the lack of lost weight and looser clothing is because I am just building muscle mass. Thanks to all who commented last time and good luck to all of you too wherever you are in the program!
