Two miles on Elliptical

Week one of the workout regimen has begun ...

The diet has been kickin' my ass for a good two weeks now, and it's hard not to cheat because of hunger and the massive sweet tooth I have! But, it's going OK ...

Pushed out two miles on the elliptical machine this morning ... the first 10 minutes are killer ... the burn is crazy! But, as soon as the burn was gone, it was OK ... maintained about 6 m.p.h. the entire time ... (Am I the only one, but is the cool-down period difficult after exercising so hard!?!?)

Supplementing my breakfast with a Whey Shake with 2% milk, 8 ounces. Lots of greens and lean, white meat (fish, pork, chicken) at lunch, grilled, NEVER fried! Dinner is all about portion control ... one plate ONLY! LOL!

STATS
Weight: 210
Distance (Run): 2 miles
Distance (Elliptical): 2 miles

Reset: New Goal ... 180 pounds by May 1

I missed a week, which then turned into 6 months ... and boy did I pay for it.

I topped off at 210 pounds before October. Then, after some tough times in my family from October til New Year's, I dropped down to 190. Now, I'm back at 200, and must get myself back to a healthy state.

I've figured out two of my biggest faults when attempting the P90X program was:

Self motivation to arrange my schedule around my workouts ... this didn't happen
Portion control, in addition to not eating healthy foods

Things are going to be tough the first month, as I've started the diet before the workouts, and, this is not fun ... or easy.

I guess you could say this is my baby-step P90X program ...

Stay tuned ...

Photos coming soon.
