Day 2 of P90X - Poly - Got My Sweat On

This was the workout that I needed.

I got up this morning. Dusted off my runners. I feel sorry for the people below my hotel room because I was just jumping all over the place.

I’ve been feeling lately with my regular exercise routine that I am sweating hard enough.

Well this one did it. My heart rate went up to 178 so I had to slow it down.

I liked Poly because of the variety. Next week I am really going to bring it with all the exercises now that  I am learning the moves.

As far as the hunger side of things. It’s amazing, when I am dieting I notice food

more. All the food I cannot eat. But I had control today.

I was listening to a Podcast on the way up and they put it all in perspective for me. If I have an extra bite of something let’s say an extra cookie with 100 calories - and you know it’ s way more than that. Count that up over a month and that could be 3000 calories - 1 whole pound. So exercising at my regular intensity ain’t gonna make it drop off. I’ve gotta exercise more. Which I hate, so I have to forgo the tempation

I’m not too hungry today, had loads of energy.  I hope I can keep up energy side.

Holla at you later,

Spa

I’m starving….

Okay, I’m not getting the diet. I’ve been starving all day.

So my diet is supposed to consist of 7 protein, 3 dairy, 4 veg, 1 fat, 2 snacks, 1 fruit.

Preworkout meal
1/2 banana

So I had for Breakfast -
1 - 3oz hamburger Extra Lean patty
2 strips of turkey bacon
1 cheese
the other 1/2 banana.

So the above takes care of 2 protein, 1 dairy, 1 fruit - approx 250 calories - way too low
===========================================
Snack
1 breakfast bar - 140 - 10 grams of Protein

Lunch
Pasta
Veg
Cheese
Veg Soup w/Beef

So the above takes care of 2 protein, 2 veg, 1 dairy, 1 snack, 1 carb- approx 450 calories

====================================

Dinner
Veg Soup
1 lean burger (same as b-fast)
cheese

Yogurt
= so that takes care 1 veg, 1 protein, 1 dairy. approx 200 calories - too low.
=============================================

So the tally = 5 protein, 3 dairy, 3 veg, 2 snacks, 1 fruit
about 900 calories. Waaaay to low for the day. No wonder I am hungry.
So I need more protein and 1 more veg, Where the heck can I put it and what can I eat while I’m on the road?
I used to be so creative with meals but now I am really going to have think about what I am going to do when I am on the road. Some places don’t have a fridge nor microwave. People say this is do-able on the road and I believe it can be. I didn’t realize how much carbs I was eating. And now that I have to take it out, I guess that is where my creativity is lacking.
Any suggestions.

P90X - Can I Really Do This?

Okay I had trouble sleeping.
I was a little worried about doing the first workout.
I have heard horror stories. “It’s tough”, “I puked”.
Well, I guess if you don’t workout, you will find it difficult. I found it challenging.
You better like pushups -that’s all I’ve gotta say.
I was a little surprised that it wasn’t as structured as most exercise DVDs.
The ones I’ve seen tell you how many more reps you have to go. Tony Horton allows you to set your own and write them down. But I ask, should I be setting my own reps? My mind will “take me out” well before my body will. Thus the reason why I use exercise DVDs. I’m used to structure. However, I am not the pro. I am going to go thru the process and see what happens.
I am going to set goals for myself though each week and really kick it up a notch and add more weights.
I’m just taking it one day at a time!
Wish me luck!
