Changing it up!

Wow, so it has been a long time since I have posted. I am truly sorry for that. This year has been super crazy in both personal and my professional life. But lets get on with it!

So I am changing things up from how I normally do things. I finished P90X2, and sadly through the whole process I suffered from injuries. Most these injuries probably could have been avoided if I would have just listened to my body. Since then, I have been plagued with shoulder injuries, muscle issues and just about everything else it seems like. My diet has been suffering and it's now time to get everything back in check. So I am switching trainers! I am also doing more on just my own. I have decided to put the beachbody workouts on hold for a while and started Bob Harpers workouts. So far it has been a nice change in pace. I feel like I'm getting a great workout, and I am craving the right kinds of foods. On my own, I am doing more weight lifting with dumbbells and trying to build muscle and cut fat. Where as before I was focused on just dropping weight. I am still wanting to get down to 185 LBS, so my skin can get to a maximum shrinkage, but I will have to give that some time.

My main hope is to get my diet back where it needs to be. Sadly, with P90X2, my diet was totally screwed up. I was craving horrible foods and I caved. I wish I could say the weight I gained with P90X2 was all muscle, but it was mostly fat. I gained 12 LBS of fat doing P90X2. The program I know worked for some, but I don't feel that I was destined to workout with Tony Horton. I am a cardio guy, and I like weights mixed into my cardio. There was no Cardio in X2 and that is why it failed me. Resistance alone gives me bad cravings, while cardio makes me want to eat clean.
