Calories are a bit low mainly because of the chicken breast incident in the afternoon. I would have eaten more but I thought I was actually high on my calorie intake.

Day 43

Weigh In - 181.0 (-0.8 / -57.0)

Only 1 pound to my first goal! I watched the movie Fat Head last night. It was pretty much made to refute the movie Super Size Me. The movie is based off the fact that low fat / high carbs is horrible way to lose weight. The guy ate fast food every day but kept it under 100 carbs and ended up losing 12.5 pounds in 28 days. I'm going to need to start keeping track of my food intake much better and see if I need to switch things around.

I had absolutely no motivation to do Kenpo X this morning but I figured I was up already and needed to go into work since I left my work laptop there. So I sucked it up and did it. I think it's my least favorite workout of the bunch mainly cause I don't feel it is working as much as the other videos.

P90X - Kenpo X
I wore my heart rate monitor today and it said I burned 780 calories. I'll admit at least it feels like one of the quicker workouts.

Considering I woke up at 4 AM which is completely off my normal schedule the weight gain is nothing I'm worried about. Need to be good today though since it's going to be a strange day in terms of eating.

No P90X today since I will be gone all day. I actually did my workout early since I knew I wouldn't be available to do it today. It's gonna be a long day.

I had to really push myself to do Ab Ripper. I just did not want to do it. I have to say it's probably the most difficult thing to do besides Plyometrics. I think it might be the only one where I have to stop a lot in each of the exercises. Just gotta stay focused!

I am amazed at how much stronger I am in Chest & Back compared to when I started. The bands definitely work better and I can feel it much more. Ab Ripper was tough tonight but I did all 50 of the final move. :-)

Oh and I decided to do this today because Saturday is Adams bachelor party and we will be leaving super early and getting home late. So I figured since I only did Stretch today I could add this in and move everything else a day ahead and just not do anything on Saturday. This way I don't have to do Yoga and something else on Sunday.
