Heat 2 Tbsp. of olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add rice and stir until it starts to crackle (about 2 minutes). Add water and 1/2 tsp. of salt. Cover pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to cook for about 30 minutes, until rice is soft. In a deep skillet, add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil and preheat over high heat.

I got great results because I ate good and stuck with the program.  Now I’m showing one person at a time how to become successful with Beachbody products and make a little extra cash on the side.   IF you would like more ideas for eating right then click here!

I look at these first shots and I wonder how I was ever comfortable with this look.  Oh wait I wasn’t!  I couldn’t control what went into my mouth.

P90X     Day 30

At the 30 day point I was finally not sore anymore and starting to see some progress.  Thanks to the recovery drinks that helped me get through it.  The other thing I noticed at day 30 was that I was sleeping better and had more energy.  Weird what a consistent diet does!

These shots were taken at the family cottage close to my birthday.  Please don’t look at the hair, for some reason I wanted to try and grow it out.  At this point I was starting to feel like I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.  This was around the time when others started noticing my change take place.  I felt great and started encouraging others to take the challenge.  What do you think?

P90X     Day 60

I  really think that this program will fit your needs if your committed to making a lifestyle change like I did. The hardest part for me was picking one hour throughout the day and scheduling the workout at the same time no matter what.  I have a little girl (also a little boy)that wants full attention when I get home from work so I decided to workout in the wee hours of the morning.  I got up every morning at 5:45am and then showered and went to work.  This way when I got home I could play with her and hang out with my wife.

P90X     Day 90

The program came with a nutrition booklet and meal plan as well but I never followed it.  What I did do was read what foods were good and what were bad and made meals accordingly.  The diet that I followed was very simple:  Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with 3 snacks in between those meals.  I never ate past 8pm and completely cleaned out the cupboards of not so healthy foods.  I also would like to give props to my awesome wife as she truly made this diet work for me.  Always encouraged me and even made most of the meals for me.  She gets the best wife ever award!  We just had our second child and my wife is excited to start P90x or possibly the ChaLean program soon.  My new journey will begin soon!  RevAbs!
