Week 3 of my P90x Primal challenge was a bit tough. My eldest daughter had her First Communion on Saturday and we had several family members in town to celebrate that event. Along with the First Communion, my wife and I celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary on Sunday. Both days were equipped with some very good food that I couldn’t and didn’t want to miss out on. That is one of my beliefs in working out. I work out hard, harder than anyone else I know. I also eat near perfection everyday. I feel that I have earned the right to go off track every now and then. Some call it the 85/15 rule. I call it enjoying life in moderation. I am back on track this week and not feeling guilty about my decisions. They were well worth it and I would make them all over again if I had the same choices!

I did the P90x week by the book with the exception of the weekend and some slight modifications to the workouts. Monday I performed the Chest and Back workout using my Push Up Pro’s. Talk about intense! It made the push-ups twice as hard and also made me quite fatigued for the pull-ups. I also did my usual 24 hour fast during the day.

Saturday I skipped the Kenpo as I usually do and instead did a good run around the neighborhood. I didnt have a lot of time as I needed to get ready for that day’s events but I felt that I made the most out of the time I had.

My weight increased by 2 pounds over the previous week but the body fat remained unchanged.  I contribute the weight gain to some of the salt I intaked from the weekends food choices.  I fully expect to have it gone by the next weigh in. I will conquer this!
