2 whole eggs scrambled
1 cup low fat cottage cheese

I’m making a point to try and eat within the first hour of waking up to get my metabolism going. I’m also trying to focus on eating mainly protein.

My Before Picture

Ben — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:04:43 +0000

As you can see, I’m not really doing this to lose weight. Hopefully after completing P90X I’ll finally be able to do something about that bully at the beach that keeps kicking sand in my face.

Healthy Taco Salad

Ben — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 21:11:00 +0000

Here’s a simple and filling Taco salad I made over the weekend while I was preparing to get into the P90X groove (and by “groove” I mean death march into fitness.)

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

1lbs ground turkey
1 can of feista corn
1 can of black beans
1/2 head of Romaine lettuce
1/4 cup of lowfat cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons of salsa
1 Jalapeno pepper
cumin, red pepper, and chili powder

Directions:

Brown the turkey. Once the turkey is browned add cumin, red pepper, and chili powder to taste. Mix turkey with rest of ingredients in a bowl using the salsa as a dressing.

Viola!

The Calm before the Storm

Greetings and welcome to MyP90XWorkout.com.

My name is Ben Bishop and I’m a 31 year old freelance software engineer that has a long history of wanting to be in awesome shape, but has never put all of the elements together successfully. Time and time again, the alchemy of the right diet and the right workout program has eluded me. I hope P90X changes that.

It is my goal for MyP90XWorkout.com to be a living journal as I find out if P90X is truly the answer I have been looking for.

If you return to this site on a daily basis you will find the following:

A break down of how my day’s workout went
A break down of each my meals during the day
Daily recaps that total the calories consumed, grams of protein, carbs and fat
Product reviews
Random rants

With that said, I encourage you to visit back often and would love to hear from you in the comments section.

[Insert battle cry],
