Quick Change

In my last post I know I stated that I was going to do the second phase of Visual Impact and then post my results. Well things have changed a little bit. As also previously posted, I am in a weight loss challenge at the company in which I work.   The top 30 teams will win an extra weeks vacation.  To make matters worse, I am the team captain.  To add to the fire, I have put on some weight since my initial weigh in. This combination of things has put quite a bit of pressure on me to put up a weight loss number.

The combination of reverse pyramids and Visual Impact had me putting on a solid bit of muscle. More muscle than I ever had before. The has caused my weight to increase. Normally I wouldn't care but this contest means a lot to my teammates and I do not want to be the one to gain weight.

So with that said, I am somewhat sorrowful to announce that I am doing the first phase of P90x and am currently on week 1. I am doing P90x because it's a quick and proven system for me that I know works. Even though I don't care for the 6 days a week workouts, I only have to do it for the next 30 days and then I am done with the contest. After that I am going to go back to either reverse pyramids or Visual Impact and cut my workouts down to 2-3 days a week with a mix of sprints and clean eating. At that time, I will again be posting more progress stats and I will stop stepping on that darn scale!
