P90X3: First Thoughts & Fun with Bento

Hey guys!
I can't believe we are 3 weeks into the new year!  Only 49 left to make those resolutions happen ;-)...
I started my Surgery rotation today, which means I'm back to long hours on my feet and very little time or energy to workout.  I am doing all I can to work around these limitations by starting the newest member of the popular P90X family - P90X3.

Tony and Beachbody designed this program to deliver results in 30 minutes a day. In that sense, it is very similar to Focus T25, which I reviewed earlier this month.  However, the P90X programs are so full of variety (weights, balance, core, yoga, cardio, plyo) that I doubt boredom will be much of a problem.

I just received the program yesterday, and I've only done two workouts.  I'd like to at least finish a couple of weeks before I really delve into a review, but for now, here's a peak at what you get for your $120:

Includes 16 workouts, Nutrition Guide, Fitness Guide, Workout Calendar with three options...and Tech Stickers (?!)
To get the most out of the next 90 days, I'm going to focus on my food - especially making sure I always have healthy options available at the hospital.  Here are a few snaps of tomorrow's lunch:

I made Betty Crocker's Crunchy Corn with Kale and Chicken Cole Slaw and it is SO good, so cheap and so easy (that's about 1 and 1/2 servings with some cucumbers, onion and extra chopped cabbage on top).  The pudding is actually from Balanced Bites, a dairy-free chocolate mousse made with banana and avocado.
Super fun Bentgo container, purchased from Amazon for $15.
Tonight, depending on how long my reading for Surgery takes, I'll be doing a quick Fitness Blender routine that I can share with you later in the week.

Now, go pack tomorrow's lunch!
