*Jump to the omelette recipe and nutrition*
So Insanity lasted me for about 5 months before I needed something new. In all honesty, I still really enjoy month one. Month two is killer, which is fine, but I find myself wondering when it will be done because instead of being tough and fun, it gets touch and boring after the first time through all the videos, at least for me.
Perhaps it is because of the novelty, but I love P90X. Again, this may be because of the newness, but even though the videos are all about an hour (~20 minutes longer than Insanity's month 1 videos), they fly by. The warm up is also much more enjoyable and seems like much more of a traditional warm up than Insanity's mini-workout style warm up.
However, they do seem incredibly easy to me. Insanity is much more cardio based while P90X is focused more on strength training/muscle building. I think I accidentally managed to do this in a fantastic order because cardio shreds my fat but doesn't exactly give me muscle/strength (some, just not a lot). Now that my cardio is way up, turning to muscle building is disconcertingly easy.
Don't get me wrong, I am hella sore the next day. The effects seem to be the reverse; with Insanity I was dying during the workout but not very sore the following day (once I got through the first week or so). With P90X I seem to be soaring through the workouts with ease and then the next day my body is wondering why it feel like a dump truck ran it over.
My husband is also gone for the next 8 weeks (1 week down!) so I basically have nothing to do but work out. My only real friend around here (we've only been in this area for 3 months) is pregnant so drinking is a no-go and I don't drink alone since that is weird. My friend (she is also married to a marine) has suggested I take up having a glass of wine before bed to unwind. She's been through a deployment and the wine + a warm bath apparently helped her a lot. I am struggling with the loneliness; daytime is fine since I work (oh yea, another new job alert--search engine optimization stuff) but once it gets to be around 16:00 I have to start thinking about dinner and then I get mopey because I know it's just going to be for me. Cooking for one kind of sucks since almost all recipes are geared for two so I either have leftovers I never eat or I spend forever restructuring the recipe for one. I refuse to eat like crap just because I am a mopey moperson.
On that note, P90X has been great at solving that issue. The program comes with a nutrition guide that I am
supposed to follow everyday. I don't since I have a lot of dietary issues that simply don't allow me to eat half of the things the diet plan suggests. However, they do have a lot of recipes that are great. I do modify them from time to time but the modifications are all healthy (like adding spinach or swapping our different fruit/veggies). So without further ado and whining on my part, here is the egg white and cheese omelette from P90X that I modified to not be quite so humongous and with some color (the spinach makes this look much less like a giant white circle).

*I personally don't like a liquid center, some people do but it gives me the willies. I let mine cook almost all the way through then flip it and cook the remaining raw looking parts.
