Wrapped up the first month of P90X today.  I’m pretty stoked.  I’ve lost about 10 lbs in the month, but I’m not that surprised.  My eating before I started P90X was very carbohydrate heavy.  This resulted in me probably eating more than I should have to feel satiated.  Also, I didn’t eat nearly enough protein [...]
