So it begins...

Why am I doing this? Boredom? To get fit? I don’t know exactly why I decided to do this. My sister and her boyfriend started and she was talking to me about it one day and how it kicks your ass and really pushes you. Maybe that’s what I need I thought. I am a person who gets motivated about something at the start but if it does not keep my interest I lose motivation and go back to my old routine. The gym for instance, I went for 2 weeks then I grew tired of the guys who pumped iron till their veins were about to explode and the girls who worked out with their hair down…hate that…so I lost motivation and I stopped. I figured this P90X was something that could work. I brought it up to my boyfriend and of course he was on board (he was already a routine gym go-er) and a week later was day 1. I am not here to talk about my workouts because I think there are plenty blogs out there that talks about them and I do not think people want to hear about the pain and suffering I will be going through, I am here to talk about the cooking. You could call me a wanna-be Julie & Julia, but why not blog about how and what I cook as I go through this routine? I figured it would be good for me to write down how I feel about cooking but also give the readers, if there are any, a better/healthier way to cook. Now what I cook may not be “exactly” what is in the P90X nutrition book, but a slight moderation. For instance, I can only have one condiment a day. Really?? You are trying to tell me if I have a chef salad for lunch I either have the condiment for the dressing or wait till dinner and have it with my meal, who has a chef salad without a little bit of dressing or a chicken breast without a little marinade?? This brings up another issue…flavor…right now I think it is hard to have a delicious meal packed with flavor but also keep it healthy, maybe ill learn this along the way. So I am saying this disclaimer now, I will have 2 condiments a day vice 1, mainly because my boyfriend is allowed to have 2 and its just not fair.
