Day 78- beginning of week 12

Today beings Week 12 which is the last "tough" week of P90X since Week 13 is a recovery week.  I have been doing pretty well these last few weeks.  I have not missed a core P90X workout but have not made all of my double workouts with my travel schedule.  I have also not be as good with my diet.  I'm probably about 80% with clean eating and although the 20% is not cake and ice cream, it's also probably pushed me over my calorie targets on a few days.  Anyway I would like to commit to finishing strong so I'm going to try to do every workout and eat well for the next 2 weeks.  I'm also considering doing the 3-day Shakeology cleanse at some point, probably towards the end so it falls in the recovery week.  13 days to go!

Day 68

I put on my brown suit this morning and the pants were HUGE.  While this made me smile it did make for a dilemna as I didn't think to pack a belt this week.  A safety pin from a co-worker, however, saved the day.  I did my Cardio X workout this morning and was wiped throughout.  I think I may not be eating enoug carbs.  I had a weird day yesterday after working late Sunday night in the ER so didn't get in all of my meals/calories.  That probably affected my energy level this morning. 

I made a great stir fry from CE magazine this weekend and liked it so much I made it again last night for dinner with leftovers for today's lunch.  It's weird to think I only have 3 weeks left.  I'm feeling good but now starting to worry about how I can maintain this while also incorporating more cardio, different exercise, etc.  I want to keep the muscle tone but also do more cardio and I don't think there's much more time in the day to add workouts so I'm going to have to create some kind of hybrid.
