Reports on 2nd week of P90X

Heading into week 3 of P90X but wanted to report on my 2nd week. Last week was good. I could tell I was a little tougher on AbRipper and on Kenpo- I am very wobbly with kicks and I get a bit confused on some of the punches when they go really fast but- still felt a little less stupid. I completed a two day fast on Wed morning- lost 5 lbs but I feel like only a few were real pounds-the rest water. I felt fine-maintained control. However, the day I could have food again made me feel a little crazy. Crazy like I wanted to cram anything and everything into my mouth. But- I managed. I feel like I increased my desire to eat over the course of the week tho- not sure what that is about but it didn't help that I decided to bake my daughter a cake for her birthday and made the brutal mistake of licking the beater....it went down hill after that. Started looking for anything sweet- put away a cookie with a spoon of peanut butter mushed onto it, a forgotten number of frosting dips and later a hunk of that cake covered in the frosting that I mixed peanut butter into. What happens to my self control? I did so good for a week and a half then...all hell broke loose. If I could lock up my lack of willpower and always be the stronger me...that would be good. Someday I think I will get there- but I am not crazy enough to believe that I won't have irrational eating days- just wish I could lose the weight first so I don't feel like I am starting over ALL THE TIME. I did get up today (my rest day) and ran 2.25 miles outside! That is impressive for me- I do indoor treadmill but not outdoor REAL running so- I was proud of myself. Wore the dog out too. Monday morning...Core Synergistics here I come. My goal is to improve my heart rate to be in the high end of my zone for longer. And to eat right-with the meal plan stated in the manual. :-) ps. I HATE pull ups...cuz I am a weakling!!!
