Day 1 - Chest & Back with Ab Ripper X

Day 1 is in the books.  I forgot how rough the push up/pull up combo is.  In regards to the video, I felt I did okay.  The push up portion was okay.  I ended up doing over 80 different types of push ups.  The pull up portion was not so good.  I don't even think I did over 20.  I did the whole video except for the very last set of pullups and back flys.  It wasn't going to happen.  I did the workout a little too soon after eating dinner and was feeling a sick toward the end.  I had to take about a 45 minute break before going back to do Ab Ripper X.  I probably only did about 25-30 percent of that.  My biggest problem was my hips cramping on me during some of the crunches.  I need to work pretty hard on my flexibility.  Day 3 will be my next chance at Ab Ripper X. 

I felt that I ate pretty good all day.  Nutri-grain bar, banana, some nuts, and a health bar.  I had one hot pocket for lunch and some chicken and biscuits for dinner.  I think I came pretty close to my goal of 64 ounces of water.  No pop all day either.  I had a little headache all day.  That Dr. Pepper was calling my name.  Also, I noticed the boxes of donuts sitting around yesterday.  Come on people.

I'm pretty sore in my shoulders, but I'm doing okay.  This video is one tough mother.  I'm glad I only have to do it four more times.  I am on to day 2. 

It Begins

Today is day 1 on my P90X journey.  I hope to record every workout and how I'm feeling.  As well as how I'm eating.  One of my goals is obviously to finish the 90 days, but to eat better and get in better shape.  Hopefully with the site, I can share how I'm doing and maybe get some encouragement along the way.  I've done some of the videos before and they are not easy.  I want to prove to myself that I can get it done.  I have a few small goals along the way as well.  I'm going to do the videos every day.  (Even the damn yoga.)  I am going to not drink pop for 90 days.  (Goodbye Dr. Pepper.)  Right now, my plan is to do all the videos in the evenings after the kids go to bed.  I will record how each workout went the following day.  That's the plan anyway.  I've already had my blueberry nutri-grain bar and I'm ready to go.
