Today I woke up expecting my knee to be stiff from yesterday’s slight injury, but to my surprise it felt 80-90% healed!  I can’t believe it’s feeling so much better already.  I guess this P90X diet and all the supplements I’m taking are really turbo-charging my body’s natural ability to heal.  I’m very impressed.

Now, as a bit of a change of pace I wanted to show more detailed steps how I made my breakfast today.  Firstly, I grilled a 3oz chicken breast as detailed in my previous post on how to make delicious chicken breast in 15 minutes.  Normally you can make more than one and just keep it in the fridge so that you don’t have to make a fresh one each time.

Next I lightly coated the pan with some cooking spray, added 3oz of grilled chicken breast cut up into smaller pieces, and sprinkled a little bit of light parmesan cheese.  I started to warm up the chicken at a medium heat.

Next I pour in 8oz of egg whites, which come in a convenient container like this one where the egg whites are already separated from the yolks.  Once you pour in the eggs, simply scramble them and serve on a plate.

Next I fried up three pieces of turkey bacon.

And then served with some chopped up fresh basil, and a glass of orange juice.

That was it for breakfast.  A few hours after breakfast I did my workout for today which was Shoulders and Arms + Ab Ripper X.  I really enjoyed this workout this week even more than the same workout last week.  I was able to do all the exercises and improved both my reps and the weight used on almost all of them.  It’s really exciting to see progress this quickly.

By the time the workout was done, my biceps and triceps were feeling like Jello which is really cool.  You always know you got a good workout when that happens and now it’s just a matter of those muscles getting some rest and re-growing for next week.

After my workout, I had my recovery drink as always and then I also made this chicken and veggie salad.

For dinner I grilled up this tenderloin steak with some green beans and some brown rice.  That tenderloin tasted so good today!

Then later on in the evening I wanted to make myself some kind of dessert snack, and I remembered that we bought strawberries and raspberries when we were at the store so I cut up some strawberries and raspberries and had them with some yogurt.  Mmmmmm… It tasted so good.

Just looking at these pictures shows me just how much I’m eating on this P90X diet.  It’s amazing when you eat cleaner foods just how much food you can eat within the calorie guidelines you’re supposed to follow.  I realize now that it’s only because I was eating so much crap before which had empty calories that it seemed like 2000-2500 calories per day was not a lot.  If you really think about it, that many calories of good food is a lot!  I even had a protein bar on top of all that, and my nutritional stats for today are:

Calories: 2306
Fat: 59g
Carbs: 242g
