well I have taken 4 days in a row off from hard workouts and just did some light stretching/abs/and jumping jacks for 15 minutes in the morning and after lunch. The main reason is last weeks i really felt my strength and recovery time go down. I have been trying to carb cycle to drop some extra weight so i go two days low carbs (only 1 serving for breakfast) then on the third I add a carb to my second meal. The fourth day i have complex carbs for my first 4 meals ( i have been eating 6 meals a day). Then repeat. WEll with the morning cardio and p90x it was TOO much for my body...have been super tired...heart rate has been up in the mornings so i took a couple days off and am going back to regular eating schedule of 6 meals a day with protein/complex carbs for first 3 meals a day and hten protein and veggies for last two meals a day. Think my body will still continue losing weight and let me push through my workouts this way.
so took my stats after the 4 days off and was amazed to see some results in the last two weeks (its been super hard not checking my weight and measuring my waist!!!) I have seen a decent change in ways clothes fit.
last results I took were
June 22
waist 34
weight 178
body fat 16.66%
with 29.65 lbs of body fat
lean body mass was 148.35
Today
waist 32.25!!!!
172
body fat 13%
22.44 lbs of fat
149.56 LBM
fat loss: -7.21 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!
lean body mass gain: 1.21+
now if those are not results of hard work and p90x I don't know what are! In just a little over two weeks I lost 7 pounds of fat and actually gained a pound of muscle. That is usually pretty hard to do! My goal is to lose 2.25 in of my waist by sept 1...think my body has finally made that jump to a fat burning machine! which is the goal of every person who takes part in the p90x structure!
just saw that Insanity is up for sale! Think im going to get that and see if I can push my self throught it! My players will probably love me when I make them go through some of the workouts with me during preseason! I know they loved the plyometric workout :)

Just kidding. I ordered mine last night. I was pumped to hear about the free shipping on shakeology and recovery drink home direct.
Well, off to do TH one on one 15/30 upper body massacre.
