Just finished day 9 of P90X this morning (Yoga X). The soreness is completely gone; I haven’t felt sore since last Friday. Overall, I’m actually feeling pretty good. One side benefit that I didn’t expect is that I’m sleeping better. In fact, anybody with sleeping problems should try P90X. Between the 5:30 a.m. start time and the intense workouts, I’m sleeping better than I have in a long time!
That being said, I have a couple of frustrations that are really starting to bug me.
1) I’m not losing weight! Argh. I started at 183 lbs and after a week and a half of busting my arse for an hour a day, burning an average of 800-900 calories per workout and eating right (no alcohol, no soda, fast food maybe once a week (I never order fries), lots of fresh fruit and veggies, whole wheat bread, limited sugars, etc.) I’m only down to 181 lbs. Not sure what’s going on, but I feel like I should have lost waaaay more weight than 2 pounds!
2) I’m not very flexible! It’s very frustrating to bust my hump doing all of this Yoga and stretching and still not be able to bend. I’m about as flexible as uncooked spaghetti.
I’m not ready to give up because overall I really do feel pretty good, but it’s hard to stay motivated when I’m not seeing the results that I’d like to see.
