Shakeology Question
I've been thinking about getting Shakeology for a while. All my research says it's a good thing. However I wanted to get some other opinions on it. Does drinking Shakeology mean I don't have to eat vegetables anymore? Because that alone is worth the price. Or do I need to eat vegetables along with Shakeology? I already…

Is calorie stacking bad?
I'm not sure if I'm giving it the right name. Just to explain a little bit. What I want to do is eat small, low calorie meals during the day and have a pretty big dinner (without going over my protein, carbs, and fat ofcourse). I want to do this so that it ensures that my stomach won't start growling while I'm in bed. When…

timing of eating?
The last 3 days I've had big calorie deficits but have gained half a pound. I'm wondering if I'm either eating at the wrong time or eating too much at once. I've got no problem staying under my calorie goals Sunday thru Thursdays. I break from my diet for the second half of the day on Friday and all day Saturday. Taking…

How much working out is too much?
I'm asking this because like everything else in my life, I keep upping my goals when it starts to get a little easier to reach them. For a while, I've been making sure I burn atleast 1,000 calories every morning during my workout. I started Insanity this week. the first months workouts I'm burning anywhere between 600-700…

Revamped my goals, in need of advice
I'm in my last two weeks of p90x classic. I've enjoyed it but I'm starting to get bored with the workouts. My only saving grace is that I can't stand starting something and not finishing it.

Recovery drink question
So after I finished a tub of the p90x recovery drink, I went and picked up more recovery drink at the GNC. The only flavor they had was vanilla. Now I don't know about any of you guys, but vanilla water sucks. Any one know what I can mix or blend with this stuff to make it taste better AND won't blow my calorie intake to…

Needing a little push
So I'm in my 10th week of p90x classic. I didn't give it my all during Yoga X yesterday and completely skipped my Legs and Back routine today. Any secrets on quick motivation so I don't ditch my kenpo tomorrow? This is going to bother me so much that I may just double up tomorrow morning. Looking forward to any suggestions.

Is something wrong with my heart rate monitor?
Here's the deal. According to my HRM, I burned 1088 calories last week doing Yoga X. 2 days ago, I adjusted my weight on the HRM for accurate readings. I dropped the weight from 224 lbs to 217. I admit I didn't hit Yoga X all that hard today but I did do all 93 minutes. However, it's reading that I only burned 652…

How important is the Recovery Drink
I'm just wandering about this because I'm not wild about it. (The taste)...But if people on here really think I need to be drinking this then I will start back up. I work out at about 4:30 am until about 6 or 6:30 but usually don't end up eating breakfast until about 8:30 or 9 am. All feedback will be greatly appreciated.

P90x doubles question
I'm about to enter phase 3 of classic. I think I'm in good enough shape (looks not withstanding) to do doubles on my next round. However, I've always been a guy who does all his hard stuff at the beginning of the day so that the day gets easier as it goes on. Would it hamper me greatly if I did the strength training in the…
