(GASP) I posted after midnight.
That's because I started Cardio X at somewhere close to 11 PM. It just
about killed me tonight, but I slugged through it. I was absolutely
exhausted from hauling brush for 2 1/2 hours and burning it in a big
bonfire with my family. It was fun, and i know I burned a lot of
calories doing it. After finishing Cardio X, I hit a nice, hot shower...
and here I am :)
Well,
amazing news, I lost 2 more lbs this morning! I had to step on the scale
3x to actually believe it. I hope the weight doesn't go up and down on
me; it will drive me insane. I'm getting better at this counting
calories thing; I have more than enough to eat each day, and it's pretty
well balanced. I had a hard boiled egg and banana for an early
breakfast, then drank a protein shake around 11 AM. For lunch, I had a
big green salad with lots of fresh veggies and fat free dressing. For
dinner, we had pork tenderloin and another big, green salad with almonds
on top and light italian house dressing. For snacks I had about a cup
of fresh strawberries and later about 1/2 cup of cucumber slices. Like I
said in my last blog, the nutritional part has become like a fun little
game to me. I enjoy finding the healthiest foods with the lowest
calories that still taste really, really good. My pork tenderloin,
though it was baked, tasted like it had just come right off of the
grill. It was amazing. And 4 oz was only 140 calories.
My totals for today were:
Food-1180 cals
Exercise-941 cals
Oh,
and I'm starting to see defined leg muscles coming through the fat now.
My legs are much thinner from about the knee to the hip. I still have
cellulite and saddlebags (UGH), but my quadriceps are pretty cut. I
really need to get a tan on this white body to show off my progress so
far with P90X. I can't wait for the next 5 weeks to be over so I can see
the final results!
