I finished Chest Shoulders and Tris this morning and made gains on each exercise except for clappers today. I got Ab ripper done and feel good about my progress thus far.
On to the news that may just shock you. In Round 1 of P90X, I actually gained weight through the first 30 days due to my body building muscle in place of fat. I went up 4 lbs during the first 3 weeks as I tried to regulate the diet and get the body moving in the right direction for fitness. During this round, I have not gained any weight and in fact struggled with the right mix of diet for the first couple of weeks to maintain energy and lose weight. I started at 213.5 for this round and had bobbed back and forth below 210 to 213.5 but generally stayed around 212/213 as a my average weight. Last week I started to see a number that really excited me. On Wednesday of last week I jumped on the scale after plyo and saw 208.5, now this was after plyo so most likely I lost 3+lbs in sweat that day. I weighed myself daily for the rest of the week in the mornings and saw 3 straight sub 210 numbers. Knowing that I had a wedding weekend ahead of me, I knew I was going to be back up a bit due to my diet. I stayed pretty god but not 100% clean, so Monday morning's weigh in was at 211.5. I weighed in again today at 211 and I feel good about it. Down 2 lbs in the first 30 days with some of the major fat burning/ weight loss days ahead, excites me about the possibilities. So the new goal is 205. This would be a major accomplishment that I haven't seen for more than half of my life. I haven't been in the 205 range since my Freshman year of college. It's on now HHH. It's about to be broughten!
Impressive. That's great dude. Your hard work is really paying off. I can't wait to run into you at the Ferry Building. I'll make you take of your shirt. Just saying.
