Section 1: Check!

Yesterday was the final day of the first section of P90X, I didn't miss a single workout in the first 28 days and am completely thrilled that my drive kept me going! There are a couple of workouts that I'm really not fond of such as Core Synergistics and Yoga X but I've figured out a way to sub them out with other workouts while still achieving the same goal.

The one area I have really not followed through on is eating completely healthy. With the start of school and seeing all my friends again it is really difficult to resist the temptation a plate of Western Style Hash Browns from Frontier can bring. I have stayed true to some goals though, my fried food intake is still at about 0, I have not consumed a sip of alcohol since I started, the amount of cheese I eat has decreased significantly, and of course I'm still consuming a large amount of protein!

So here's the big question: is it working?! The answer is yes, while the pictures I took yesterday aren't a very good way to measure the difference as the lighting for both my starting pics and my day 28 pics is less than perfect, I have been able to tell the difference. My muscle tone has greatly improved all over! I joke that I'm finally getting an ass, but it's true, my negative ass is on the way out! :-P I'm seeing changes all over. I'm a lot hungrier which sucks because I have to maintain eating 5 small meals a day, but the flip side of that is that my energy is amazing!

The change is subtle though. While I was hoping, rather irrationally, for something quick and amazing these subtle changes are nice, and I'm only 1/3 of the way done. Today I come out of the program's first "rest week" and move on to the second wave of exercises which mixes things up to remove the plateau effect. Only 62 more workouts to go!!!

Update again in two weeks!

P.S. Still no pics yet, sorry chaps! You'll get them eventually!
