  • Try Zevia Sodas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zevia_Cola). They're made using Stevia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia) so it's natural and still 0 cals (but each can has 7 carbs).

  • Depends on which plan you're following. Some of them (like the Slow-Carb diet listed in the 4 Hour Body) require a cheat day and recommend a massive intake of calories and carbs that day. Your weight will also spike, early in the week, but will usually taper back down to pre-cheat-day levels in 2 or 3 days.

  • Our cheat day is Saturday. I don't hunt down my food on Saturdays, I just put down 2500 blank calories for the day. If there's something I think I'll need to remember I just add it in to my notes. This way, the cheat days spike on my charts but I can just enjoy the day (which is kind part of the fun on a cheat day) but I…

  • I broke up the specific exercises as best I could here but mostly logged it as cardio or calisthenics (or a combination). Exacts I kept in worksheets I stored in Google Docs.
    in Logging P90X workouts!? Comment by Pulse1 August 2011
  • Having completed P90X 1.5 times (hernia derailed the second time through) I have a bit of advice no one gave me before I started: Start planning for what you're going to do AFTER P90X now. P90X is a lifestyle change. Between making the food, the workouts, recovery drinks, etc, almost all of your free time will be taken up…

  • I log them but kind of cheat. I'll add about 1000 cals per meal (blank ones) so the day will spike on my charts and then use the note to add my actual food. I use my cheat day as my "go out on the town" day, too. This way I get a complete (down to the single gummybear) list of what I ate but I don't have to try to find all…

  • I've got a large yard, a push mower and live in the south. So, yes, any time I mow the lawn it counts. :glasses:

  • Trick with the bands (when being used in place of a pullup bar) is they want them going up instead of down to your feet. We found a set at Target that have a little "catch" on them just for locking them over a closed door. I'm sure there's a way of doing it with other brands but this one felt the most secure and the least…

  • Try digging around on CraigsList. It took me a couple of weeks but I managed to snag a really nice (full feature) treadmill for $100. Just watch out for junk and be ready to walk away from it once you've seen it. Mine has everything from pre-programmed routines to elevation of the track to a built in heart rate monitor.…

  • We're just starting our second round today. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results right away. I didn't notice much until week 5, my wife didn't notice until week 6. Once you start to notice, things will really take off (I was losing over 1lb a day for a while) and it makes it a lot easier to stay on task for the…
