P90X

I mentioned before that Phil purchased P90X. Today was the official commencement. I made him a spinach egg white omelet with feta cheese and a grapefruit for breakfast, then for dinner we had tilapia with a mango-lime salsa, wild rice and broccoli. I am only mentioning these things because I am feeling extremely healthy. I even took a picture of our dinner because I was so impressed with my self. Granted, I didn't like it very much. I hate onions with a passion and that was all I could taste. The rice was good though-carbs are always good.

I wouldn't say that Phil and I ever ate horribly, but P90X came with a pretty specific diet, so we are giving it the old college try for 90 days. I'm pretty excited about it actually. I haven't worked out in a few months. Phil did the first video tonight while I watched and made dinner. It is intense, I don't know of a better word to describe it. I'm excited to try it tomorrow. And I'm really looking forward to eating healthier. I even attempted to have a bowl of oatmeal with protein powder and milk for breakfast, per the suggestion in the book. However, that was asking a little too much and I ended up throwing half of it away and eating rice crispies instead. I like oatmeal just fine, but not mixed with chocolate protein powder.

For those that may be familiar with P90X, we are skipping Phase 1 of the diet. We decided that 7 servings of protein and only one of fruit and carbs wasn't for us. Has anyone done that phase?

I am not doing this to lose weight. I have no desire to lose anymore of my non-existent rear end. I just want to eat better and get into shape. I consume way too much sugar and I know I will feel even better by getting a more balanced diet and getting in a little sweat time.

So here goes.....
