Now that I am eating enough carbs again I have the energy to workout at a high intensity level. I completed another BRICK (bike/run) this morning. I rode the same 9 mile loop I did last week and was able to shave 1 minute 30 seconds off my bike time. I did not get an accurate time on my run so I can’t say I improved on that end.

My backyard pool is open and ready to go so I no longer have an excuse not to swim train. My hope is to get in 3 swim sessions this week but we will see…

Well, it’s been awhile since I posted pics so here you go. Even though my current pic looks very similar to my day 90 pic, a lot has changed…

For starters, I am no longer strict on my nutrition 24/7. I only cheated about 4-5 times during my first 90 days of P90X. I would say I cheat once or twice a week now. Also, my strength has increased significantly since day 90. I am still very much committed to exercising but I feel like my new workout regime is secondary to my lifestyle. I pretty much lived my life around P90X during the first 90 days of the program…but I think you have to if you want to see the changes you wish for. In order to see a significant body transformation, you MUST make some serious changes to both your workouts and nutrition plan. 90 days may seem like a very long time when you are participating in P90X but think about it…it’s only 90 days of your life, that’s nothing. I think if you can dig deep and complete the program, it will change your life long after the 90 days. I have a few friends that also completed 90 days of P90X and they decided to do the upcoming triathlon with me. When you participate in an extreme fitness program like P90X, it’s hard to stop cold turkey so when you continue on with exercising and eating well on a regular basis it becomes part of your lifestyle without much effort.

                DAY 1                        DAY 90                  DAY 180

Lost another 2lbs so my total weight loss was 9.5lbs in 3 days…that is nuts!

I do enjoy cold beer on the weekends and I have been cheating once or twice a week but I honestly thought my nutrition has been pretty good so I was only expecting to lose 2-3 pounds tops. My goal of this 3-day shakeology cleanse was to eliminate any toxins I may have in my body which I am assuming I did..or at least hope. I do feel great so I am glad I sucked it up for three days and completed it! I personally did not think this was too tough of a challenge…nor was it easy though, somewhere in between I guess.

I did complete the “shoulders & arms” routine this morning but it wasn’t my best workout. I am looking forward to having an intense workout tomorrow morning seeing that I have been eating carbs throughout the day today.

This is crazy, I dropped another 2 ½ pounds. I am down to 188 so a total of 7 ½ pounds in two days.

I really did not think I was going to lose this much weight, my guess is most of it was bloat/water weight. Seeing that this is the last day of the challenge, I can honestly say it’s not too difficult to follow. Surprisingly, I haven’t been that hungry throughout the day and I have plenty of energy. There are times during the day that I wish I could eat but that is expected.  

I did not workout yesterday, I decided to take the day off once I realized I was 5 pounds lighter. Today I completed core synergistics but I was not really into it so I basically just went through the motions with little to no intensity. I find that I have plenty of energy during the day but exercising is a different story. I am glad I completed a BRICK (bike/run) workout the morning of my first day of the performance cleanse, I am not so sure I could bang one out right now.

I will weigh myself again in the morning and let you know my total weight loss of the 3 days.

What’s going on???

My weight has dropped 5 whole pounds in 1 day. I am not sure if I should be happy about that or not, I am really just surprised. I went into this Shakeology 3-day Challenge looking to eliminate all toxins from my body. I figured I would lose a pound or two but not 5 in the first day. I weighed in yesterday at 195.5 pounds and this morning I weighed 190.5….I ended up weighing myself three times because I could not believe it. Since day 90 of P90X, my weight has fluctuated between 193 and 197…but has never dropped below 193.

Other than wanting to snack every so often, I have nothing bad to say about this challenge so far. The Shakeology shakes could taste better but when you consider they have over 70 healthy ingredients in them, they don’t taste bad at all. 

I’ll be shocked if I lose anymore weight but I guess it wouldn’t be too far fetch if I did, I will keep you posted…
