Workout
I took another shot at the level 2 resistance workout. It was really tough! It took me 60 minutes again, but I finished it this time. This really feels like the intensity of a P90X workout, at least to me. The difference is that it is a hybrid, with the combination of back, leg, shoulder, arm bicep, and abs exercises.
Nutrition
I had steel-cut oats, a banana and whey powder for breakfast, a protein bar snack, the last of my yam tempeh stew for lunch, then mixed nuts for an afternoon snack, and a ground turkey-based casserole for dinner. I did great (relatively speaking) with my calories, ending on a 200+ calorie deficit for the day. Some days seem easier than others! I did have some coffee in the afternoon, but made it through the morning OK.
Health and well-being
I was tired and sore from the workout! Also, I read Tony’s chapter about supplements, and I am considering which I should add. Currently I take a multivitamin, vitamin D, magnesium (in addition to the Concentrace which contains magnesium), fish oil capsules, and flaxseed meal (which I add to my oatmeal). In addition, Tony suggest things like a greens supplement/drink, along with a “reds” supplement/drink (fruit-based), recovery drink (of course!) and some other stuff. I need to figure out what I am spending right now on supplements, and how much I can afford to add. I see the benefits, but it’s in the same category as eating organic, where I have to consider the costs.
