It’s been awhile, but I’m back! I have dusted off and updated the site, so look around and see what’s new. I have made a few changes to my diet strategy since 2008. I am not counting calories any longer but rather focusing on smaller portions of healthier foods. In general, I am looking for low fat, high protein foods. Most importantly, I am shooting for only three meals per day with a portion size of ½ cup each meal. I think this will be especially challenging as I try to do P90X with this limited volume of food and perhaps much lower caloric intake than before. Like I said, I’m am not counting calories this time around, but I am guessing that my daily caloric intake may be lower than 1000 Cal. Keeping this in mind, I will have to accept the notion that I may not be able to push it so hard, and I will have to be extra mindful of my limits. Safety first. For those of you that want to follow my lead, I am not a doctor. I am meeting with a dietitian on a regular basis, and I recommend that you check with your doctor before you begin.

I am planning to include periodic video updates this time around. Culminating in a 91 Day Results video collage, which I trust will be truly AMAZING! I have shot the before video and I will post it here as soon as it is ready.

Chest and Back + Ab Ripper X was pretty challenging today as expected. But I think that I performed at least as well as I did on P90X Day 1 2008. I had to quit after the second exercise in Ab Ripper X. Check out my Workbook (linked on the sidebar) if you are interested in the details. I think starting is the hardest part. From here on out it’s just, “keep pressing play.”
