P90X

Got the P90X Dvd's, now i'm not really sure how to start. I found a lot of schedules online, but if anybody has any recommendations, please let me know. I'm thinking of starting next week. Also, i'm not sure what equipment i need to have for the workout.
I know i want to try and do the P90X, i just still don't know much about it and i need to research it more!

Way too slow! - Cruise Phase- PP

Morning Weigh in : 188 Lbs

Yes, weight is going down, but so awfully slowly. Not the diet problem, but me. Haven't stuck to Dukan 100% since i started it! I'm going to do it today. I'm going to make it my 1st REAL Dukan PP Day! Yes, that's the plan!

Breakfast:

- Cup of coffee with non fat milk

- Non fat fruit yogurt

Exercise:

- 1 hr of cycling/spinning class

- 20 minutes of cardio work out (Elliptical)

Lunch:

- Miracle Pasta with a little soy sauce, topped with a lean hamburger which was also topped with a fried egg! Yummy! That was really good!

Snack:

- 1 stick of non fat cheese

Dinner:

- Lunch was soo good that i made it again! It was delicious the 2nd time around too. Maybe I'll have this tomorrow too! :)

Snack:

- Non fat chocolate mousse

- a couple of bites of banana cream pie (without the cream, just a little crust)

I wanted to go through the day with NO mistakes! Didn't work out at the end :( i couldn't resist dessert after dinner (we had some people over).

Going to the gym was good today. I was a little weak though as i was recovering from a stomach bug or something since yesterday. So i definitely felt it at the gym, but i survived it! :)

Cruise Phase (PV)

Morning Weigh in: 188.4 Lbs

Not a big weight loss this morning, but it's down and i'll take it.

Breakfast:

- 1 soft pretzel (Bad)!

Snack:

- Non Fat Latte

Lunch:

- 3 slices of Oatbran and Flax meal bread w/ cream cheese

- Few slices of tomatoes

Snack:

- 1 fat free cheese stick

Dinner:

-  Shirataki noodles made with tomatoe sauce and ground lean beef (YUMMY)!

- 1/2 a Glass of Red Wine

No exercise today! Woke up with a really bad headache that lasted most of the afernoon! On the good side, i signed up for Bikram Hot Yoga!! Yes, i'm going to try it. I've read a lot about it and it's one of the best exercises to lose a lot of calories! So, why not try it?! right?? :) Did any of you try it? any thoughts on it?

Hopefully tomorrow i can make it to the gym and make up for today's lack of exercise!

Have a great day!

Cruise Phase (PP)

Morning Weigh in : 188.8

 Since i haven't weighed myself in the last few days I'm not sure how much weight i gained or lost. But from my last weigh in i have added  0.4 lbs.

Breakfast:

- Cup of Coffee

- Oat Bran -made with water

Exercise:

- 1 hr of cycling

Lunch:

- 2 scrambled eggs w/ 1 tsp of shredded Parmesan cheese (2% fat)

Snack:

- Non Fat Chocolate Mousse

Dinner:

- 2 lean beef burgers with a little non fat feta cheese

- 3 small roasted beef chunk pieces

Had dinner much later than i usually do. Which resulted in me eating a lot! I was starving. My bad. But i had to run some errands with my hubby that took longer than expected. This is a very important thing to do. You have to eat well throughout the day and not let your self without food , because you'll get hungry eventually and you'll start eating more and whatever is around.

Work out was good. I"m happy that i managed to go cycling 2 days in a row. Will try my best to go tomorrow too. I'm aiming for at least 5 days a week at the gym. Hopefully I'll do that this week :) I feel soo great after a good work out! Even though my body is usually sore! :) 

Have a great Dukan Day everybody.

Update: messed up with food after i posted.

Day 2 -Attack

Morning Weigh In: 192 Lbs

Total Loss:  1.8 Lbs

Breakfast:

- Coffee w/ non fat creamer

-  2 hard boiled eggs

Exercise: 1 hour of Body Flow (a mix of Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates)

Lunch:

- 1 Lean Burger (Ground Beef Patty) - with a little cheddar cheese

- 1 small tub of non fat vanilla yogurt

Dinner:

- Mini Kiftah Skewers ( I think i had 6 or 7 sticks)

- 1 Tsp Non Fat Sour Cream

- 1 small tub of fat free/sugar free chocolate mousse

Rough day today. I craved all sorts of things. I cooked rice pilaf for my family and i wanted that. I gave my son some fish crackers, i also wanted that! I made a salad and i also wanted that! Ugh! I did have one fish cracker! Naughty me! I don't feel soo good about myself, but it was only one and i didn't go weak with the other stuff.  Hopefully this day will be over without any more cravings! I guess it's the desire for carbs that's kicking in. Hope you're all having a good day on Dukan! If you have any good recipes, please share!

Day 1 - Attack

Starting Weight: 193.8 Lbs

Breakfast:
- Coffee with Non Fat Creamer
- Oat Bran

Exercise: 1 hour Cycling/Spinning Class

Snack:
- 2 non fat cheese stick
- 1 slice of ham

Lunch:
- 5 mini hot dogs
- 3 chicken wings
- 3 small chicken balls

Snack:
- Non Fat Vanilla Yogurt
- Cup of coffee with non fat creamer

Dinner:
- 4 mini skewers of Kiftah (Find Recipe Here)
- 1 Hard Boiled Eggs
- 2 Tsp Fat Free Sour Cream

Snack:
- 1 non fat cheese stick
- Fat Free/ No sugar  Hot Chocolate (Not quite sure if i can have this, but it is fat free and no sugar is added and i felt the need to have something sweet and this was the best option i had on hand). 

Overall, it's been a good day. The food that i had was enough and i felt full most of the day. I went to the gym this morning for a cycling class and i felt great afterwards. What also helped with my food cravings today was the fact that i was quite busy & had a lot of errands outside the house! When that happens, i forget about food and don't feel hungry! Great idea, ha? :)  but it is exhausting! In addition to all those errands i have 2 little boys to take care of (J is three and Z is one).

I created a blog for my favorite Dukan Recipes! And I'll be linking what i eat here to that blog for the recipes. Some of these recipes are food that i know which are Dukan Friendly, other recipes are from various blogger friends who are on Dukan. Thought I'd put them in one place.

Please feel free to share any recipe. Just email me and I'll add it to the blog with a link to your blog/site.

Thank you all for stopping by. Have a great Dukan Day/Night!!

Update: When i wrote this post it was around 7 p.m.  and i thought i was done with the eating part. I was wrong! I snacked, and here's what i had:

Late Snack:
- One Crab Stick
- I slice cheese
- 1 slice ham
