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 5-7

Following the diet strictly. Trying to eat more salad to get some of the vegetables in. Still tired during the day, but I still haven't gone to bed at a decent time, so I can't say if it has anything to do with the diet.
One major thing is that my pee stinks! I don't know if its the protein, but it never did before I started this diet.
Workout programs day 5-7 were:
Day 5 - Legs and Back
Day 6 - Kenpo
Day 7 - Stretching
I loved Kenpo, kicking and punching and what-not with the heart rate getting up in the 160-170 range, but I did realize that I need a bigger area for that workout. I guess I'll go outside or something.
Stretching is great for a Sunday activity, you just stand there and stretch pretty much every part of your body.
I can tell already I'm getting more flexible, the first day I couldn't come close to touching my toes, but now I'm down a little further.

BTW - The morning after the Yoga routine, almost all soreness was gone. I guess I stretched it all out.

I wonder why your pee stinks? That is weird!

I know...the only thing I can think of is cutting all the sugar from my diet, or maybe adding a lot of protein.
