Week 3: Day 6

I have lost 5 pounds! I got on the scale this morning and low and behold I lost 2 more pounds! So in 5 weeks I have lost a total of 5 pounds. Next week I will measure. I'm kind of excited about that. Today was Day 6, Kenpo. Oh how I love Day 6. I worked extra hard today in Kenpo and burned more calories than last time. My lower back is hurting due to all the twisting. But I think it will feel better with icing and sleep.

I do have to say I am quite proud of myself. I mentioned in yesterdays blog I was worried how I would squeeze exercise in. I take my kids to school and usually come straight home to exercise. But today I had to clean a house, eat lunch and pick up the kids. I cleaned and came straight home, did my Kenpo and then ate lunch and had just enough time to get to the school to pick up the kids. It was a good thing I did that, because my afternoon got very complicated with my husband needing me to pick him up for our son's game. I am so glad I for once made use of my time and chose exercise first (I even showered and got cute before the game).

My meal plan today went smoothly. I had a big calorie breakfast, 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with peanut butter and coffee totaling 390 calories. Normally I would put banana on top of the toast, but I was out. For lunch I just repeated dinner, pork loin and wild rice, 250 calories. I didn't have any spinach to make a salad. I was a little bummed about that. For snack I had a Chiobani Greek Yogurt. Those are so tasty and have 14 grams of protein in them. For dinner, since my son had a 5:00 game we swung into El Pollo Loco. I had 4 oz of chicken thigh, 2 flour tortillas, 1/2 C black beans and green salad. My entire meal was 500 calories and it was very filling. The best part is, I had over 200 calories left. I chose to have a glass of wine with my husband. I don't know if  Tony Horton would approve of that one. =)

Tomorrow is rest and I can now officially say I completed 3 weeks of P90x! Bring it!!
