Finished my most recent run of P90X over the weekend (after doing it, uh, 1 & 3/4 times last summer). The differences this time around for me were a set of adjustable dumbbells (Bowflex SelectTechs) and a pull-up bar instead of bands. I also ate a lot better no cheating. Had much better results this time around, and lost twenty pounds as well. That's more an effect of my diet, though, and I really wasn't even trying to lose that much weight... I'm pretty sure that I have, like, no muscle. :|
I can confidently say that I'm in the best shape of my life, which is pretty awesome. My desktop background is a picture of myself at 210 pounds (I'm 126 now), posing for pre-P90 pics, to help remind me of how I can never let myself even approach those depths again. The biggest problem now is my wardrobe! I bought several new pairs of pants AGAIN this weekend, and another new belt. Thank god for the Gap Outlet 70% off!
Started my next round today. My plan is to do it once more, MAYBE twice, possibly with each phase extended by a week or two, and then move on to P90X2 in the fall/winter if I can pony up the dough. I'm using the Chin Up Max now, instead of a chair, and while it will definitely take some getting used to, I think I like it.
For protein, I've also gone back to French Vanilla Creme ON whey (Vanilla Ice Cream was disappointing) and am now mixing it with almond milk (super cheap at Trader Joe's) instead of water and FUUUCKITISSOGOOD. Can't wait to drink it again tomorrow.
