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!

DAYS 15-18

The thing that interferes with my journey the most is "life".
Two times this week I have missed my workout because of previous commitments that had me occupied until 11 at night. Plus, I'm not going to put my workout as a priority over my wife and kids, so I just figure I'll have to skip a day here and there.
Plus, it's a busy time at work, so I continue to miss breakfast 2-3 times a week, which stunts the weight loss like nothing else. I bet even a big chocolate cake wouldn't have the effect that missing breakfast does.
Tony Horton always gives his tip of the day. Well, here's mine.
DON'T MISS BREAKFAST!
It's hard to believe that in only 1 1/2 weeks, I'll be 30 days in and moving on the phase 2. Hello carbs! It's not that I don't like protein, but I love bread, crackers, cereal, rice, tortillas, waffles, etc! Even though you only get 3 carbs, still, its a step in the right direction.
Been kind of stuck on a pound and a half loss this week. But I've lost some more body fat, which means I'm gaining muscle mass, so I'm alright without the poundage loss.
Eating all sorts of variety now: Salmon, chicken, turkey, ham, steak. V8 100% vegetable juice is a great way to get those 4 servings of veggies.
Another tip of the day: If you're going out to eat, save your carbs for the restaurant. We're heading out to eat tonight, and I've saved my carbs for something good!

Go Brad! I'm impressed you've got the will power to stick with this. Let me know if you think my brother Ryan would go for this plan.
