Today is day 42 of P90X which means it’s the end of week 5 and time to update my P90X before and after pictures and measurements. I was excited to see my results from the day 35 P90X photos, and I was really looking forward to today…

This week went really well overall. I feel like I really progressed with the ab workouts and my overall conditioning is getting better by the day. Another positive to take away from this week is that I didn’t have any feelings of nausea (whew).

I had another great week with the P90X nutrition plan and find eating clean to be pretty easy now. I really don’t have any cravings for junk food unless I’m either way stressed out, or put in a “challenging” environment where I’m bombarded with great smelling food. I haven’t cheated the diet plan at all and I credit a lot of the results I’ve seen up to this point with that.

So without further ado, here are my P90X day 42 photos…

And here are my measurements after 5 weeks of P90X:

  • Resting heart rate in the AM – 61
  • Body fat % – 15.8%
  • Weight – 184 lbs.
  • Chest – 43″
  • Waist – 37″
  • Right thigh – 21″
  • Left thigh – 21″
  • Right arm – 16″
  • Left arm – 16″

As you can see there were no dramatic improvements since last week’s measurements, but I did lose another pound and my body fat percentage dropped slightly. Also, there was an improvement in my resting heart rate…
