The Day 60 Progress Report
Overall I have to say that I’m satisfied with the progress that I’ve made over the last 30 days. December was a tough month with the holidays and all. Lots of good food and goodies to eat. However, I did my best to eat moderately and managed to not gain any weight over this time. I did manage to lose about 1% body fat and another .75 inches off my waist. When I started my waist was 35.5 inches and now it is 33.5 inches. For the most part I have improved in all of the workouts. Some have become “easy”, others manageable and others are still really hard. I definitely feel much stronger and can see muscles moving around under my skin. Actually I am beginning to also see an outline of my abs developing. The only disappointment I have is that I thought I might have gained more muscle by this point. To be fair, I haven’t followed the diet plan outlined in the P90X nutrition guide. I have been eating sensibly though and have tried to follow some of the guidelines. I have also been supplementing with some protein powder, particularly on days with strength workouts. I’m hoping to see bigger improvements in this final month but I have a feeling I might need another round of P90X to get to where I would like to be.
I did a round of Yoga today but didn’t have a chance to take my 60 day pictures. I’ll probably get to that on Saturday morning when I have more time. Today’s Yoga workout was the best one I’ve ever had. My flexibility seemed to have jumped so much just since the last time and I was able to do some positions I couldn’t before, or do existing ones better. And my balance was really on point today too. It was a great way to punctuate Day 60!
Overall this was a good month but I’m hoping for bigger gains during this last 30 days.
Congrats and well done.
Be prepared, phase three is one week longer than the other ones and takes more mental discipline.
Congratulations on reaching day 60! It is nice to hear that yoga is so manageable now (today was day 13 and of all the misery yoga is the toughest).
Do you know your daily protein intake? I am after muscular size also and I think that might be where I need to look.
Steven, I don’t monitor my protein intake but generally drink about 25 grams of protein from a protein shake after each workout. Plus I try to eat more protein rich foods during the day.
