I've been keeping up with P90X and still loving it. I'm currently on week 6 and feel really good about it. I'm way more coordinated with the workouts and used to the schedule, so I look forward to doing it just about every day.
The one thing that confuses me is that I'm gaining weight. I know it's not uncommon when people start P90X, but I'm not sure that's what I want. The number on the scale is much higher than normal, up about 6lbs from when I started. I guess I can chalk it up to 'muscle weighs more' but I feel that's usually bologna to make someone feel better.
People at school are mentioning that I look like I'm losing weight and a mom asked me today if I'm still running, cause I look like it, but I'm gaining! wtf? I'm so confused. I don't plan on stopping P90X by any means, but I would like to be down about 15lbs.
My clothes are fitting differently, but not necessarily looser all over. It's just weird. I'm still running and enjoying running when I want to for as long as I want to, instead of following a training plan right now. I'm looking forward to meeting Rebecca in the morning for a run :)
on vacation i usually gain weight but going back home it will be back to normal in 2 weeks after doing exercise...
ReplyDeleteI have gained weight while marathon training. 5 pounds. It's very frustrating to run a 20 mile run and gain two pounds the next morning but I believe it's muscle doing it's magic.(hopefully...because my clothes still fit nicely)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy running while on vacation.
ReplyDeleteI try not to really pay attention to the scale. It is how your clothes are fitting, looser, tighter etc. :)
