HokieDoke's Journal, 16 Jun 13

Yesterday, my friend and I did the Shoulders and Arms P90X workout for the first time since completing P90X earlier this year, and it was HARD. I had to use waaay lighter weights than I had been using at the end (which makes sense since Insanity does very little for your arms other than the occasional pushup), but at the same time, it felt really good to push myself. I really missed Tony Horton and his goofy sense of humor, so it was nice to revisit those old workouts!

I'm trying something new with my diet called 'zig zagging'. After calculating my recommended daily intake for maintenance at 2600 - 2900 (depending on what I classify my 'activity level' as) cals a day, for weight loss, I should aim to eat only 80% of that, so roughly 2000 a day. The principle is that even if I eat 2000 calories a day, I could still be putting my body into starvation mode. Therefore, every 3 days of 2000 cal, I will aim to eat a diet closer to 2600 calories for one day. This higher calorie day will keep my body from entering starvation mode (apparently). We'll see what my weigh in/body fat ratio is next week to determine if this is working!

I've seen a few people on here that have had success with the zigzag system. Hope it works well for you!
