P90X Journal Intro: At It Again!

All right, kids. It’s that time again. Dorian, Kevin and Ashley have convinced me to start P90X Extreme Home Fitness
again and document the whole thing.

By far the most popular article on Home Fitness Challenge is the P90X Mistakes post I originally wrote about three years back. That’s why Dorian asked me if I was ready to get back on the horse and fix my old mistakes.

So How’s This Going to Work?

I’m not going to be writing a daily journal. I learned last time that there are just so many times that I can actually write “Ahhh! My muscles are so sore! “ before it gets boring.

No, I’m only going to write about the important bits that are actually going to help you get through P90X yourself.

The way I see it, I’m doing the program for me. I’m documenting it for you. Nobody cares about my sore muscles, so I’m only going to write about my experiences if you guys can benefit from it.

The Nutritional Plan:

I’m rejecting the P90X recipes meal plan in favor of their “Portion Plan.” It allows a lot more freedom when you get right down to everyday eating.

Plus it’s cheaper.

Granted, you don’t eat as well . . . But you get used to eating the same things over and over again. If you’re wondering what a meal on this portion plan is like, you’re in luck.

I took a picture of my first P90X meal on day one:

That’s some black beans, scrambled eggs, a banana and unsweetened iced tea with lemon. Mmmm. Breakfast.

Or for those of you playing along at home: 1 portion of veges, 1.5 portions of protein, 1 portion of fruit and 1 portion of caffeine

So Stay Tuned . . .

Be sure to stay up to date on all of the P90X updates, I promise there will be some good stuff coming your way (including some videos). Best way to keep up with the progress is to subscribe to the RSS feed (in the box below) to receive all the great updates in your email inbox.

Wish me luck.
