I have to say, I've been trying many new healthier suppers and they are all on board so far. All the bad stuff is out the door and alot of good things like whole grains, we have been eating all along. I am a little worried about next week because I have two days of yoga (I hate them so much, last yoga day I ran instead) and no legs and back. I need the legs and back as that is the reason I bought p90x ( other than to tone up/lose weight) Really, my legs are so skinny I'm suprised they get me around. Can I add it in somewhere thru the week? I do see a little bit of muscle def in my calves and don't want to stop. Also, I run/walk 8kms a day and all of a sudden I now have shin slints. Know of any really great stretchs cause so far I haven't found any good ones.

But I cannot stress the importance of the nutrition plan. I'd even go as far to say that the nutrition plan accounts for 75% of the success of P90X. I know this is not the answer you wanted to hear but it is the truth. You are in the Fat Shredding phase that requires 60% Protein/ 20% Carbs/ and 20% fat. Follow this. Throw out deep fried food, white bread, and all the other junk. Plan out your meals ahead of time. I cook a ton of chicken on the grill on Sunday nights and stick the leftovers in the fridge for the remainder of the week. Every morning I get up and make my wife and me a whey protein shake. The good news is once you start doing this after a short time it becomes a habit. <br /><br />Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-59611020148411510352009-05-11T09:43:00.000-05:002009-05-11T09:43:00.000-05:00I meant to write i have had no body changes thus f...I meant to write i have had no body changes thus farLaura Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819409551206833174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-77512757593001156502009-05-11T09:42:00.000-05:002009-05-11T09:42:00.000-05:00Hi Jeff, my name is Laura and I am on day 19 of p9...Hi Jeff, my name is Laura and I am on day 19 of p90x lean. Unfortunately, the meals plans just don't jive with my kids so all I can do at this point is watch my own diet. I think it's going okay but I have had to body changes at all. But boy do I sweat during the workouts so I'll keep going but I know I won't get max results. I really hate the yoga x and wondred what you thought of switching it for the cardio x? I really want to lose inches and the yoga makes mw want to not do the video that day. Any advice, thanks, Laura ( I also have a new p90x blog @www.p90xpei.blogspot.com)Laura Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819409551206833174noreply@blogger.com
