P90X - Day 14 - Losing in a good way
A funny (actually a pretty frustrating) thing happened this week. I GAINED weight! Oh I could've ripped my hair out!! I have been feeling so amazing, energized, and healthy. Plus I can FEEL my muscles actually bulging underneath my skin. So i just knew I lost a few lbs. When I didn't I had to figure out what happened.
What I think what happened is I GAINED muscle. I say that because I lost inches!
Not to mention I stuck to my diet and workout religiously. I decided to tweak my diet a bit this week. I know P90x creators have a method behind their madness, but I was literally going insane trying to keep up with the amount of protein they expect you to eat. I also haven't been regular in the restroom (sorry for the dirty details), so I decided to look up on the net any articles on having too much protein. Sure enough that was a side effect listed. Not to mention I was having almost 3x the recommended amount I should have. So since my body cannot really process all of it, I decided to ditch it.
So I'm basically lowered my calories a little bit more (using another online calorie calculator) and am going to stick to a low fat, normal protein, low glycemic index carb diet. I feel pretty good too. Since starting it monday, I already have been heading to the restroom more. Hopefully I'll lose lbs AND inches this week.
