Everything is moving into the right places, and I am in the best shape of my life! <div><br /></div><div>It took some effort, but I have to admit, P90x is working so far!!!

I have only lost 3 pounds so far, but I am down a pant size, and feel everything tightening up. My muscle definition is becoming more obvious, and my core strength is noticeably increased. This is paying off so far!</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, my confusion is with the calorie counts. The food calculation reflects that I should have about 2700 calories per day as a minimum, but with the food choices given for the serving counts (and being a vegetarian for 24 years) don’t allow me to get that many calories. I know I should limit calories to lose weight, but need calories to gain muscle. So, how do I lose weight and gain muscle? Funny question right? Yes, it seems to be.</div><div><br /></div><div>After reviewing calorie needs from 10 different web sites (including P90X and The Mayo Clinic), I have been given 10 completely different figures based on the same input information. So, needless to say, my confusion has just been multiplied by 10!!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>So, unless anyone of you out there can help clarify my slightly dazed and confused vision of how it should be for a vegetarian on a diet, I will simply plug along as is and see what happens. The worse case is I learn from my mistakes and push through the P90X again, which would not be a bad thing at all!</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, on to week five, and double workouts!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Next time we meet, I may be in traction.....</div><div> </div></span>Predohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11072164196308691583noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685440943086625000.post-26150749668276011162011-03-19T12:17:00.000-07:002011-03-19T12:22:04.736-07:00Week 1 overI have now completed week one of the P90x. I was in pretty good shape before, but this kicked my butt! I begin week two now, and the intensity gets tougher. I can't wait to see results that are more then just a very sore body!!!<div><br /></div><div>Any way, at this point, I have actually gained 2 pounds. Having said that, in just one week, my body is feeling stronger. Sore, but stronger. The exercises have been entertaining and intense, but not to difficult. A good routine. I will keep you informed of the payoff as I go along!</div>Predohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11072164196308691583noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685440943086625000.post-73921149258110396412011-03-12T15:04:00.001-08:002011-03-12T15:04:15.845-08:00TomorrowI start the P90x.........Predohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11072164196308691583noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685440943086625000.post-15824030859812299762011-01-25T12:03:00.000-08:002011-01-25T12:06:28.290-08:00Harley Walter, Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend.<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Harley Walter</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">September 26, 1923 - January 19, 2011</span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1LwMv-02nm9MEp9qvsoKKVVfPuZAx5tycUiqTdnqeZz_lb8H3GFGL75gPgjXc4bbdg9SCMl4LT-U4IFrsnSUmz_hm8cm7fe6mE3SFeKGOhCuI68bvbGZhrW7B4HdGjCEi8M-HD3BoSzE/s1600/sc000082e4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1LwMv-02nm9MEp9qvsoKKVVfPuZAx5tycUiqTdnqeZz_lb8H3GFGL75gPgjXc4bbdg9SCMl4LT-U4IFrsnSUmz_hm8cm7fe6mE3SFeKGOhCuI68bvbGZhrW7B4HdGjCEi8M-HD3BoSzE/s400/sc000082e4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566216842943410194" /></a>Predohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11072164196308691583noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685440943086625000.post-72053494469325489712011-01-09T12:54:00.000-08:002011-01-09T12:55:06.781-08:00Mitzi's Kitchen Episode 1<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mNA7BKL1mhc?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mNA7BKL1mhc?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>Predohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11072164196308691583noreply@blogger.com0
