Tim's P90X2 Journey

Day 10!

Hello Day 10! It’s nice to reach double digits. Yesterday was Day 9, which meant I was 1/10th of the way through the program. Today, I am 1/9th of the way through. Man…this thing is going fast.

Today is a Rest Day with the option to do the Recovery + Mobility (a great option). Recovery + Mobility is a lot more than simple stretching. It’s a chance to get intimate with your foam roller and massage those sore muscles.

After 10 days of P90X2, everything is starting to feel firmer. The muscles in my arms, shoulders, and legs are starting to get more definition. The top of my stomach is drawing in and feels tighter.

I have lost around two pounds. I didn’t expect to lose much weight in the beginning. It’s similar to when I started P90X, I was exchanging fat for muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat. So there’s a period of time where my weight doesn’t go down very quickly (at least it doesn’t go up!). But I can fell my body being reshaped.

This is why it’s important to take the clothes test. How are your clothes fitting? You may not feel like you’re losing weight based on the scale, but something is happening when your pants start to get loose and you need to cinch that belt a little tighter.

Eating right hasn’t been all that difficult. Fortunately, I’m a simple eater. So chicken salads, egg white & spinach wraps, organic peanut butter, and protein bars are my staple diet (with a lot of fruit and raw veggies for snacks).

Looking forward to what the next ten days produces.
