Since I insist on killing my calorie counts (and this after day 1) I am going to use those experiences to add to Observation Mode: just what exactly am I doing and why. So far, on the weekends (which is when I work 11+ hour shifts) I have gone over my calories for the day by a half-a day's worth and that with fast, fried, and prepared foods. Note to self. Need to either work that in in a reasonable way, or take it out totally.

I don't see myself giving up the Chinese food, so that may need to be a work-it-in-in-a-reasonable-way thing.

Also, I have roommates (who are not overweight) who have the P90X videos. I watched the infomercial the other night on purpose and there was a guy on there who was over 350 pounds and says he did three cycles of it. How? He said he modified everything, but how can someone burn that much weight off with modifications? I guess I am just wondering if this is for real or if it's just a lot of junk.

Has anyone done P90X? Any input?
