Building Muscle and Losing Fat

Hello everyone,

This video is for day 21 of P90X. Things are going well and I’m down another 1.2 pounds but more importantly, I am down another 3/4 of an inch in my waist and a 1/2 inch in my chest which means I building muscle and burning fat. All my other measurements are the same. The ironic thing is that I weighed this morning because I was trying out my new scale with the fat calculator on it and I had lost another pound overnight. I think I am going into another weight reduction phase but it could be my imagination. One of these days… hopefully soon, I will start gaining muscle faster than I can lose fat because I won’t have much left. I can’t wait for that! I will know more in the coming weeks.

Also, I wouldn’t call week four a recovery week. I find that Yoga is one of the more challenging workouts and I have it twice this week. Plus, I watched the Core Synergistics video and it’s not walk in the park. Actually, I am looking forward to getting through this week so I can post my 30 day transformation. I can definitely feel the difference in how my clothes fit and my increases in flexibility and strength.

Building Muscle and Losing Fat Starts in the Kitchen

I have been following the nutrition plan to the letter and really watching what I eat and what my wife buys at the grocery store. I was going with her at first and now she just calls me when she is unsure about something. The main thing is that I have had to keep my calories under 1500 at day while consuming 50% Protein, 30% Carbohydrates and 20% Fat. That has been pretty challenging but I am getting it done. Depending on how I feel, I will move my caloric intake to 1800 or so in the next phase. I already have more energy but I will need the extra calories to increase the intensity of the workouts. I have also decided to order Shakeology for the next phase as a meal replacement in the morning. That alone will help me increase my calories a bit. I am signing up with Coach Wayne at TeamRipped.com because he is taller and should have better perspective than other coaches that I have seen online. Being tall has it’s own challenges.. like doing pullups for instance. He is 6’4″ and I am 6’3″ so there is that similarity. Now, if I can just get my body to look like his… WOW!

Building Muscle and Losing Fat is Addictive!

One last thing that I wanted to mention is that I have allergies really bad and things are really starting to bloom in the Napa Valley. Needless to say I have been dealing with headaches and dizziness because of it but I have been plowing through the exercises anyway. It’s really tough to get started but I actually feel better after the workouts. I am getting addicted to these workouts not only because I am shedding fat and building muscle, I just feel better plain and simple. Because of that I am actually looking forward to the workouts so I don’t feel so crappy. Good problem to have I guess.

That’s it for now. Until next week..

Take care and BRING IT!!
