I’m still here and was still pushing play until this morning. I had a binge. Two this week actually, and have been finding it a little difficult to pick myself up and get back on track. I’ve also missed workouts, specifically Yoga and Kenpo this week. When I wasn’t binging, my eating wasn’t all that great. I am still just trying to find the right mix for me, and although I was doing the whole recovery drink, extra protein, bars, shakes, etc, I think I’m gonna go back to the basics - clean eating with protein carb and a fruit or vegetable at every meal. I need to stop flip flopping with the eats and I have GOTTA GOTTA GOTTA get the binge eating under control. This is my first out of control week since starting the second week of P90X. I was doing so well, but I don’t know. I think this week I’ve lost something… the zeal for it. I’ve kinda dreaded doing ARX, so I skipped it one day, then the other two days I had to do it I subbed in with other core work instead. I think that as long as I’m following the plans BASICS, subbing in for other exercises that work the same muscles will be okay, as long as I’m doing SOMETHING. I want to be able to finish this through to the end.

So on Sunday I’m starting this week over with clean eats and no recovery drink.  The only supplements I’m going to allow myself will be the whey protein (although the clean eating book does say it’s okay to use daily) and my protein bar mid afternoon.  I’m also going to add in more cardio from now on, at least three extra sessions a week. I actually don’t mind running on the treadmill so I’m gonna try to incorporate that into P90X and get up to 2 miles before the end of the rotation.

I’m also selling the packets I have left of recovery drink. It takes good but it’s just not for me.
