Hi! I’m CJ =), a work-from-home mom and wife of a P90xer. When my husband decided to give P90x a go, we made a deal. He’d commit to doing the exercises without fail, and I’d manage the food. He promised to eat anything that I put in front of him! So, I memorized the nutrition guide from cover to cover, researched supplements, protein powders, bars, the works. |
As I write this, my hubby is on day 32 of the program. So far he has lost 6 lbs, gained tons of muscle, and trimmed 3 inches off of his belly! We are very excited to see where day 90 will take him.
I decided to start this blog because, as I’ve been managing his nutrition, I’ve developed a p90x nutrition journal document that I believe will be useful to other P90xers out there. Also, I’ve been trying to come up with creative P90x recipes that fit into the portion approach, so I thought I’d post them here for others’ benefit.
I am not a doctor or nutritionist. I don’t have any training in this – I’ve just done a lot of research as I’ve been planning my husband’s portion approach. So here is the inevitable C.M.A. statement - while I share my opinions about P90x nutrition here, my advice should not replace that of your doctor, nutritionist, priest, rabbi, etc.!
I should also mention that I’m not a Beachbody coach – I’m not trying to sell anyone on P90x. My goal is to share the results of my research into P90x nutrition and the new recipes I’m coming up with, in the hopes that it will make starting out easier for other people than it was for us!
I hope this is helpful – keep pressing play and don’t forget to BRING IT! – CJ =)
***12/18 Update – As P90xer Sam recommended in the comments below, I’ve added a Paypal Donate button for those of you who are feeling especially grateful for the site! It is now added on the right-hand menu, right above the Google ads. While this is a hobby, if I make some money through the site it does help justify all of the time I’m putting into it when I should be doing other “real” work!! =)***
***7/5/11 Update – Another thing you can do if you appreciate the site and want to help out is go back to the homepage, then use the Google +1 button at the top left of the page to “like” the homepage and any other recipes or pages that you like on the site. This should help get the word out about the site to more people by helping it rank higher in Google! Thanks!!***
CJ,
This site and your menus are really inspiring me to start P90X and stick to it. Exciting. Thanks for all your hard work. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hey Jules!
So glad to help. You can do it! Please do come back and let me know how it goes and share your success story – not many people do!

I did P90X for the full 90 days last January. I kept it up through May but then the summer got the best of me so I quit. I am starting back up now and I am SO happy to have found your site as it is hard to eat the same stuff over and over again. I can’t wait to try the recipes. Thank you!
I started P90X today and will be going grocery shopping today. This site is extremely helpful. I was wondering if anyone is still active and wants to be my Team Beachbody Buddy. All the ones I find look like they haven’t been active for a long time.

You are awesome CJ!! Your site is awesome..It’s very informative. Thank you so much for sharing.. I am starting my p90x journey 9-9-2012. I’m an avid runner but I notice as I get older my muscle tone is not quite the same. I’m just a little worried about the food. It’s a lot of food wow!! I will share my progress with you if that’s ok..
I would love that, Aulani!! You are so welcome. I’ll be very happy if the site helps contribute to your success – that makes it all worth it. =)

Thanks!
CJ,
Thanks so much for this site! My husband and I both are in day 9 of P90X. These recipes are wonderful and so easy to make (I am a mom of 3 and work full time) so I do appreciate the quick and easy recipes.
Hey CJ,
I’m starting P90x This Monday and I my anxiety is was more about the nutrition plan than the exercise. I like to work out but it’s hard finding little ways to save time and money on food. I know I know everyone’s excuse, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your website and I can tell you put alot of time into it, It’s in my favorites and I will be definitely telling you how I’m doing.
