Approximately two hours ago I completed P90X Chest & Back. I have not seriously exercised in many months and felt a little winded during the 4 minute warmup. I had to do some push up sets on my knees and had to use a chair assist for nearly every single pullup I completed. I feel a little bit of muscle fatigue even now though, so I'll take that as a sign that I accomplished something. I really wanna stay consistent. I'm an all or nothing kind of guy, but when results don't come quickly, I tend to lose interest.
I am the heaviest I have ever been. One pound and six ounces short of 200lbs. In 2010 I once saw 149lbs on the scale. True that my family thought I just emerged from a concentration camp, but I was eating like 3000 calories a day and had made friends with 45lb dumbbells. Now 15 and 20 pounders are more in my comfort zone and I look like Jasmine's dad from Aladdin. I'll post some pictures up later, but I was pretty disgusted with myself and my Day 1 pictures look even worse than my Day 1 pictures in June of 2010.
Food to cut out: white rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, yuca, candy, cookies, sugary cereal, cake, icecream, brownies, ramen noodles, taquitos, alcohol. In my exercise glory days, my pristine eating was the predominant factor in my rapid weight loss and under 10% body fat. My entire mindset was transformed and at one point I sincerely thought that I would never again know the taste of chocolate. Now, two years later and 40lbs heavier I find myself having eaten not one but two left over Dove chocolate bunnies from Easter.
Tomorrow calls for Plyometrics, but I want to substitute for an Insanity cardio or maybe a Tony Horton One on One DVD.
