Day 6

Today I received the P90X3 dvds in the mail. I see people saying this all over but it does ring true, "I was like a kid in a candy store" when I got my dvds. I went out early to check the mail from yesterday as we were gone all day out of town and didn't check the mail when we got in. I could tell the mail hadn't run quite yet this morning, our mail is usually delivered by 1030 am, and it was almost 1030. Then a ring of the doorbell and low and behold it was on the porch.

I opened it up and started looking the contents over. A nice new hat and my resistance band was in there along with, of course, the box with dvds in it. I watched a few of the workouts to see how different from P90X it looked. I saw some similarities and some new things. So exciting to see all of this and think of what will come of all this new information in my possession.

I plan on starting the workouts on the 23rd. I have been working out since "Day 1" but obviously not P90X3 or anything as vigorous as that. My diet has been pretty good and I have been using my old guide with a 2400 cal diet. I have been using myfitnesspal.com as well. I have been doing fairly well even with yesterday's slight indiscretion with our trip to McDonald's (not my idea) so I ended up eating one bad thing... One 730 cal bad thing.

The new nutrition guide is different than the P90X nutrition guide. I don't mean bad or good different, just different. Will be planning meals for the weak and going to the grocery store to buy appropriately for the week of eating. It will be the first week of starting X3 and working darn hard at eating clean. The new guide has me on a 3000 cal diet which is plan F. That seems like so much food and after eating today up to this point, which is 750pm, I have taken in 2100 cals... I am not hungry and I really don't want anything else. Maybe if I start doing the protein shakes like I did as post workout recovery drink, it will boost my total intake and not make me feel like I'm eating like a cow.... Who knows?

All in all, after 6 days, I have been doing fairly well with both activity and diet. I can't wait to see how things are going after 30 days.
