I also got my physical results back and the last risk factor to my health that I hadn't yet improved was HDL. My HDL is up from 37 to 55. I have no blood results indicating any risk factors now.
My thoughts at day 60.
- I've been way to focused on fat loss and therefore a too aggressive calorie deficient. I've followed the calories per MFP and eat back my exercise calories BUT I set my weight loss at 1.5 lbs per week AND since I don't have a HRM monitor I've been very conservative in my calorie burns for the P90X workouts.
- I'm very unhappy with how scrawny I'm getting and the fact I've lost so much in my chest and arms. To me its clear that while strength has gone up I'm not building muscle and appear to be loosing some. I believe this is a result of the calorie deficiet being too large as well as the back injury problems I've had that have prevented me from bringing it a lot harder and lifting heavier.
I have changed my calorie goals in MFP to only 1 lbs a week of weight loss (I still want to get to 10% BF) and will now use p90xcalories.com to determine my caloric burn for P90X workouts. I estimate this will add more than 500 calories to my daily intake.
I've also decided to let my carbs creep up towards the phase 3 macros of 30/50/20. I'm tired of eating so much protein and if I'm going to do another round of P90X I want to enjoy a few carbs.
So there it is.
