Could you eat anything you wanted as a kid, never gaining any weight, but the years went by and the good old metabolism just decided it was time to slow down? If so, I can relate! I'm 31 years old, 50 lbs heavier, and wondering where that high school body went. I've seen numerous TV infomercials about workout programs, but "Slim in 6" and "Brazilian Butt Lift" just didn't jump out at me. I mean, I'd like to have a nice butt, but that's not my biggest trouble area. "P90X" on the other hand, now that sounded like a man's workout! So...HERE WE GO!

DAY 1 - 05/10/10

WOW! A lot of food!
The workout was pretty hard, but you just go until you can't go and then you rest.
Now the food, that's a whole different ball game. Meal plan for today was this:
Breakfast - Mushroom Omlet
10 egg whites
3 oz cheese
1 cup mushrooms
1 roma tomato
1 tbsp green onions
then 1 cup strawberries
8 oz milk

Snack -
1 Protein Bar
1 Yogurt

Lunch - Chefs Salad
2 1/2 cups lettuce
5 oz ham
5 oz turkey
3 oz mozarella cheese
1 roma tomato
1 avacado chopped
4 tblsp ranch

Snack
1 Protein Bar
2 String Cheese

Dinner
10 oz chicken
1 Cup Brown Rice
1 Cup Asperagus
1 Banana
1 Cup of Grapes

After Workout -
Recovery drink

Of course everything is fat free, sugar freet, lean, light, etc.
This equates to:
9 Servings of Protein
4 Dairy
2 Fruit
4 Vegatable
1 Carb
1 Fat
And the extras (snacks, condiments, etc.)

If you think that is a lot...well, you're right! It was hard to finish it. Plus it took a lot of time last night to prepare to take breakfast, lunch and snacks to work with me.
Workout was Chest & Back today, alternating pullups and pushups pretty much the entire time. I can barely do one pullup and had to modify it with a chair.
