Week 11 Recap...

I can't believe 11 weeks have gone by!  This past week marked the end of the "phase 1" workouts.  That means that I am finished with those workouts.  It's crazy to think about!

So, how did I do in week 11?  I think I did pretty good.  I knew it was the last time for me to do a few of the workouts, so I really tried to push myself hard.  Like I mentioned in my last post, I substituted running for yoga on Thursday.  I was worried about my progress since I didn't workout on Saturday.  We traveled all day and were in the car for a few hours.  However, we walked a TON, so I think that helped a bit.  I also was very conscious of what I was eating.  Yes, I had to eat fast food, but I was watching portions and calories, etc.  Also, to make up for missing a workout on Saturday, I decided to get up and run on Sunday which is usually my rest/recovery/stretch day.

So, here are my results:

Weight ------------------------------------------------- 154.0 lbs.
Body Fat % --------------------------------------------- 17.6%
Water % ------------------------------------------------ 60.1%

I am not back to where I was at one time, but I am moving in the right direction again.  I think muscle gain has been to blame a bit.

Let me explain a bit more.  Looking back at my progress, at the end of week 7, I had the same exact body fat % and water %, but was 3 pounds less.  To me, that means that my weight/mass has grown, but the stats are the same.  That is the kind of progress I like to see!

Week 12 (started today) is the last week of the strength training exercises.  It is very surreal to think that it feels like I just started the program.  Week 13 comprises of core building and stretching exercises.  Then the program is over.

I am still debating on how to proceed after p90x is over (at least the 90 days).  And on that note, I am outta here! Until next time readers...  (yes, all three of you!)
