P90x week 5 day 3 and 4

Yesterday night at about 11:55pm I finally put my wife and son to bed and was able to work out.  Normally I work out in the morning, but it just wasn’t happening.  Last night I watched the fights on SpikeTV before I started and got myself pumped up.

 I increased weight this week on my biceps and back work outs.  The pull ups are getting easier, but that last ‘max rep pullup’ kills me.  ‘Max Rep Pullup’ is code language for torture yourself till you throw up.  I think I did like 14 before I could get all the way up on my own.  By that point I had already done over a hundred pull ups in under an hour and my lats were ready to pack their shit up and leave.

The diet is going good.  The increase in carbs has me worried.  I’m going to post more pictures this weekend to show the amount of weight I’ve lost and the drastic changes in muscle definition that I’ve had over the last week or so.  I’m worried that an increase in carbs will slow the weight loss.  Today for lunch I got to eat 9oz of deli turkey on whole wheat toast.  I don’t like Mayo and this is probably one of my favorite sandwhiches anyway.  My vegan conscience goes crazy whenever I prepare a meat dish for myself, but I’m doing what I have to do. 

The P90x diet is so crucial in getting me enough energy to finish these tough workouts while keeping the calories low enough I can still lose weight.  2800 calories a day is probably double what I ate for two years while I was vegan.
