P90X Before and After

So, I finished the 90-day in-home workout program P90X. Well, I finished a 90-day cycle. Obviously, you're supposed to keep doing it after taking a week off. You're also supposed to make yourself highly accountable by putting it on blogs and telling friends and what-not.

To that end, I made a few training breaks in Las Vegas and on a trip to Alabama. The diet didn't hold up well in either of those instances. Also, I missed 3 scheduled workouts in the program for the 90 days. I don't think that's too bad, though.

I checked out the message boards and discovered that I was actually supposed to eat more in the last month or my body would think it was starving and begin to conserve weight.
