Does being on the P90X exercise and nutrition plan mean you have to give up everything you love? Absolutely not! Don't feel that just because you are following a strict nutrition plan and exercise regimen that you can't have a nice evening out every now and then. After all, P90X is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. It's a good way to achieve a healthier lifestyle, and hopefully after you have completed the 90 day program, you will keep some of these new found skills and turn them into part of your daily routine. So, reward yourself every once in a while with a night out and eat at your favorite restaurant. Remember, there are options everywhere you go and here are some suggestions for how to choose wisely when you aren't making your meals at home.

The 5 Best and 5 Worst Cocktails
Some recipes to try:
Pizza Margherita - We've made this before and it is delicious. AND Boboli sells whole wheat pizza crust to make it that much more healthy for you! Here's a tip, slice the crust in half with a very sharp knife so that you get 2 super thin crusts and enjoy!
Slow Cooker Chili - We've made this recipe before too, and it is also very tasty. We added lean ground turkey to it to get in a protein. Yum!
This blog is intended to serve as both a resource and support through the P90X2 program. As P90X graduates, we've decided to continue to include helpful links, articles and recipes to those who are working through the P90X programs. Although we will mostly focus on the new program, we will keep all links and articles pertaining to P90X on our blog. As always, we welcome comments, questions and any other inspiring words to others who might be reading this and seeking encouragement themselves.
I've got to try the pizza, but am sold on the chili. We make a bunch of it and use it throughout the week. I mix it with a couple of cups of Spinach and have it for lunch to get the extra vegetable serving in.
