P90X: week 7

Ok! OK! ... my apologies for not being able to update this blog. I have been very busy lately (more like so lazy to write) but I have not been neglecting my workout program.. I just finished week 6.

First up. Current weight 145 Lbs (I went down to 142 lbs last week) so I maybe fluctuating in between until I maintain my momentum with fat burning. But hey I lost 5 lbs since I started doing P90X.. I am now 15 lbs closer to my goal.

I'm done with the fat shredder stage (thank God!).. Eating omelets every morning make me feel like I'm about to grow chicken feathers.. but yeah, I'm seeing results.

So now I'm doing the P90X Energy Booster meal plan. 4 proteins, 2 carbs, 2 dairy, 1 fruit, 1 condiment

I just found out that 1 lb = 16 oz. (HEHEHEHEHEHHE... *grins*).. as in! I had no idea. Although I've been eating all those healthy meals i know that something was wrong with how I portion my meats.. I think I would consume like 10-12 oz in one sitting when I'm only allowed 6 oz. Guilty!


I bought a 5 lb whey protein powder from GNC Golden standard... Yes, the over cautious me who is afraid to bulk up finally conceded and used whey protein. The only thing is I only get to drink this 2X a week which is really great since it's not one of my faves... I bought a blender for it $11 at wal-mart which I won't recommend since it's made of plastic and will probably just last for a couple of months.. Get a more durable one folks!

P90X Recovery formula is yummy... Now I don't have to worry about the excess sugar i got from my choco milk. I know choco milk is cheap.. real cheap.. and the RF is expensive.. very expensive.. but it's a sacrifice I have to make to make this thing work.. Drinking RF heals all my post exercise soreness, I feel good the next day. I subscribed to their home direct program to get free shipping and ordered the packet versions so I can drink an exact amount each time.

One thing I'm having trouble with is late night cravings.. As in like midnight I would crawl up from bed to open my fridge or cup boards to check on anything I can get my hands on. Be it a piece of cheese, yogurt, protein bar or peanut butter.. I would consume like 100 to 200 cals to calm my growling tummy. Yikes!

I will be posting some of the meals I have prepared for your convenience. Some of them directly from the P90X manual, some my own concoctions so just beware: I hold no responsibility if you wish to follow 'em.
