P90X Day 5 – Keeping Up With The Carbs
Short post tonight. I’ve had a productive (but busy) night working with people on their goals for fitness, weight loss, building a business, etc, so I’m behind in my normal activities.
Today, I increased carbs. Only to around 108g total. Tomorrow, though, is a long day for me. P90X Legs and Back and then PT in the afternoon. I knew I would need more leading into tomorrow, and I know I’ll need more tomorrow to recover, so expecting another high carb day (I see a sweet potato in my future).
Today my eating was still spot on as far as what I wanted to accomplish. I’m finding it easy to avoid the grains, but I’ll admit that when I saw an almond bark covered pretzel, I kinda missed the taste. But, focused! I skipped it. Did Ab Ripper X in the morning (got through more reps), physical therapy in the afternoon.
Meals today:
Breakfast – Shakeology with coconut milk, almond butter, and a banana. By the way, this kept me full for a full 3.5 hours. Very impressive for only 480 calories.
Lunch: Big salad. 3-4 cups romaine, a whole tomato (on the vine variety), half a cucumber, some scallions, around 8oz or so of pot roast left over from earlier this week, some of the veggies left over from last night, and my homemade salad dressing.
Snack: Apple with almond butter.
Supper – Chili with some cheese and just a few pork rinds (not nearly as many).
So on track still. Check in tomorrow and make sure I don’t pass out during the two workouts!
