The P90X Journey Begins...Monday

So, here's the deal...I would like to lose about 12 pounds before we go to Disney World this summer. I'm not going to tell you what weight that is, but I will say that I haven't seen it since high school. My plan is to count calories and do P90X. I'm not going to give my specific Day 1 statistics or pictures (you don't need that stuff), but I will post my total pounds and inches lost on Day 30, 60 and 90. If the final pictures are good enough you may see those. The way you can help is by commenting on my posts to let me know that you are reading and making sure I am doing what I need to do.

I already know the exact number of calories I need to eat to lose weight because of our MetaCheck test. I tested myself this past week and I will be eating between 1300-1500 calories per day. I will probably eat closer to 1500 each day because I will still be doing my normal routine of teaching 7 workout classes per week. My goal is to only have one cheat day a week. My first test of that will be this weekend when my parents come to visit. I will retest myself about halfway through the 90 day process.

OK, so for the P90X stuff, I love the workouts, but I know I will have to make the time each day to do them. I do not like the yoga workout, but I am going to try it for at least the first couple of weeks. I may end up switching it to Stretch X if I can't bring myself to do it. Also, I will not be doing a workout on Saturday and Sunday. My body needs both of those days to recover from all of my classes I teach. So, here's the schedule for Week 1:
Monday - Chest & Back
Tuesday - Plyometrics
Wednesday - Shoulders & Arms
Thursday - Yoga
Friday - Legs & Back
Saturday - off
Sunday - maybe Stretch X

Thanks for reading this and PLEASE come back to see if I'm doing what I've said.

Until Monday...
