Diet, Exercise, and Mental Combo…
Geez, I’m letting time pass me by without blogging…so here’s my update: I’m on week #3 of the P90X…I was off to a really rocky start seems like. I changed my diet up to get just the right amount of carb/pro/fats in, and after two weeks, made some alterations there. I did make a 5.5 lb gain…not sure what that’s all about..but I’m for sure wasn’t going to quit since I’ve added weight that now REALLY has to come off…lol. So after Week #2, made the changes to my diet, did a lot of mental preparations, and actually added cardio to the P90X program that I’m already on. I like 90% of the aspects from the exercise program but really felt like I wasn’t getting enough cardio in. In the beginning of Week #2 I added the creatine supp in that has really helped physically with the weights and mentality of muscle gain. Through the past 3 weeks I’ve mentally had my ups and downs and falling from depression to new motivation, wanting to quit and feeling the need to continue…a huge roller coaster. So there it all is in a nutshell. This week I feel that I am really where I’ve need to be since the beginning. Learning the "mental" side of things when working out has really helped myself reach the point of reaching my max in each and every workout. The diet, I think, is in check now with the intensity of my workouts. This week has been the best week yet. I’m really feeling good about getting to week #3 because any other time I have tried a workout program I have usually seen weight-gain and then all but quit. Until next time…
