Hello Hello,

So today was a good day. I got a lot done because I did not have to go into work. NO COMPLAINTS THERE. So today I took care of a couple of bills and ran some errands.

I did not mention this yesterday, but I am not only eating according to Body RX, but I am also working out according to the book as well. The workout is interesting as it is broken down into 4 different phases: Strength, Sculpt, Burn, and Maintenance. I am currently in the strength phase which is broken down into: 2 warm up sets (which are pretty easy) followed by 3 sets of 6 at a much heavier weight. At first glance it seemed really easy but the first couple of days my muscles were KILLING ME! But as I am close to ending this phase and heading into sculpting, I am actually looking forward to the transition. With each of the different phases the weight decreases slightly but the reps increase. ALSO another big thing about this program is there is no need for CARDIO. I KNOW REREAD THAT LAST SENTENCE IF YOU NEED TO! I have lost 6lbs in the last 3-4 weeks and I have not stepped foot on the treadmill or elliptical trainer. GO ME! I know that I have definitely not lost any muscle mass either which made me feel pretty good. I took my body fat composition the other day and it had me at 11.3% which is not bad for someone weighing in at 190 lbs. It is just the little stubborn fat that I can not seem to get rid of and that is why I am going to attempt to eat according to Body RX while doing the P90X workout program. (FYI... I am definitely going to check out the difference in nutrition plan when P90x arrives, but until then I am going to do the plan as I just mentioned)

Another thing that I did today was uploaded a video on Youtube mentioning my intentions with the Blog and my weightloss. If you want to check it out you can search my username: MisterJonKat. I think having two arenas to express myself will keep me motivated and allow others doing the program or considering the program, to receive some support.

I have actually talked a couple of my other friends into doing some of the other programs that Beachbody has to offer, because I have seen some amazing results those programs have helped others achieve. I am kind of coaching them, because health and fitness is one thing that I am really passionate about and if I can share that with people that I love, as well as, you guys/gals out there I say why the hell not!?

Until next time...
