Well I hate to disappoint but...shocking developments


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!
