It is week 9 and I only have 4 weeks to go until I’m ripped. Well, at least that’s how it’s suppose to work. 
I finally got my legitimate copy of the P90X program, so I actually have the diet plan now. Better late than never, right? So I’m starting from the beginning with the diet –> Fat Shredder. Basically that is just a high protein diet. I can do that.
They have some pretty good recipes in this diet plan. The major difference for me is I have to switch from having whole grain cereals for breakfast to more egg white omelets and protein shakes. Normally my protein shakes were my snacks during the day and after a workout, but now I have to add in new snacks to replace that. I can add things like turkey jerkey, string cheese (not!), cottage cheese, nuts and protein bars. I’m not much of a snackers, so this may be tough.
Today I ate:
- a protein shake with low fat milk, DetoxFiber, 1/2 banana and 2 strawberries for breakfast at 7am.
- protein drink with low fat milk and DetoxFiber at 11:00am.
- McDonald’s Southwester grilled chicken salad with low fat vinaigrette at 12:30pm.
- Planter’s Trail Mix Nuts & Chocolate at 3:30pm (in photo)
- 4oz salmon steak, squash, black beans, and tomato, red pepper soup at 6:30pm.
I ate 1625 calories today broken down to the left.
My workout today was P90X Chest & Back, which is a whole bunch of push-ups and pull-ups. I still can’t do a pull up yet though. 
Also, I missed spin class today so I won’t be able to get in 3 spins this week. But I still have Ab Ripper X before bed. I guess I can smile about that.
