Oh hello Week 3...

Ah yes. Today marks the beginning of week 3 of p90x.

I'd like to say a quick "F you in the B" to all the folks who said I wouldn't even last three weeks. :] It's a bitch, isn't it?

So week three is starting and I'm feeling good. I haven't checked the scale, I don't care. I've come to the conclusion that even if I only lost one ounce of my fatassedness, I'd be ok. I don't feel GROSS anymore. I don't feel like a complete asshole for not doing anything about the aforementioned fatassedness.

I feel good mentally and am on the road to physical well-being and THAT makes me feel great.

Anywho, I won't say that I've "slipped" once or twice, but I had a few moments in the last couple of weeks that felt as though I wasn't giving it my all. Yoga is the devil and I want to punch Tony (Tony Horton - p90x guy) in the face for making me do it, but you know... I want to punch MYSELF in the face more for having gotten to the point of even needing Tony. So yeah. I'm not gonna' be Hector the Projector here. I know whose fault this is.

The diet has been pretty easy so far. I haven't had any diet coke since this started. Nor have I had any processed foods, anything other than whole wheat breads, and I've pretty much given up beef entirely. All recipes that call for ground beef are now done with ground turkey. I feel like I'm made up of 100% water now, I drink so much.

I discovered Michi's Ladder, which is on the beachbody website, that lists tiers of food to eat. I think I'm going to try to stick to buying those foods from now on to make it even easier on me when I'm cooking.

Speaking of, tonight I'm having bellpeppers stuffed with shredded chicken and brown rice that's been crock-pot simmering in whole tomatoes and tomato soup. Omnomnom. I hope it's good. Sounds good. Also, last night, I mangled a recipe into a great low-cal snack! It was freaking amazing. Recipe is as follows:

Skin and dice an apple (I used granny smith)
Throw into a bowl with 3/4 cup of sugarless apple sauce and a big dash of cinnamon. Mix well.
Put a wheat tortilla in a pan, throw the mixture on top and sprinkle with a small amount of low-fat shredded cheddar. Cook like a quesadilla.

Take 3/4 cup of lowfat yogurt (I used vanilla) and mix with a tsp of applesauce and small dash of cinammon to dip your appledilla in.

This snack is freaking ridiculous and tastes like angel wings, I swear. Half of that concoction is something like 140 calories and IT IS FILLING.

Anywho, just a little something until next time. Keep pressing play.
