Worth a Try

I had to share a few recipes that we've had lately.  The P90X2 Chicken Chili is amazing!  I was so anxious to eat it that I forgot to take a picture of it.  It is definitely worth trying!  One serving =1/2 protein, 1/2 legume, 2 vegetables.

The second meal we had was one from Cooking Light magazine and it was also killer;  Italian Meatball Sliders with Spinach and Mozzarella Salad.  I would say this would qualify as 1 protein, 1 grain, 1 vegetable and 1/2 dairy? It was very tasty and I modified the fat and calories by using ground turkey instead of pork.

These recipes were relatively quick and easy to make, very tasty and passed the kid friendly test.  Both of our daughters loved it!  The links to both of these recipes can be found in the "Great Recipes" tab of our blog.

Two Weeks Left

Two weeks down and two weeks to go!  Last week I met my challenge of increasing my holds and reps by half.   I struggled in some areas, but pushed through it.  This week I will continue with my goal of full reps and full holds. I want to really push myself these last two weeks and finish strong.  I'm keeping end of program pictures and measurements in the forefront of my mind. I need to see results or all of this was for nothing. Well, I guess not nothing. I do feel stronger, and I do feel better after I workout, but it is so hard for me to make exercise a priority in my life.  So far, I haven't gained any weight and my clothes are fitting a little bit looser. I'm now feeling the day after soreness that I craved during phase 2.  So all of these things are telling me that something is working.  I just can't wait to complete the program and officially be a P90X2 graduate.
