Day 1 - Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X

Oh... My... God!!! What a workout! I'm having a little trouble holding my forearms off the desk to type as I normally would, that's how sore I am. The worst part is that I know I'll feel even worse in the morning. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with Tony & the gang on the DVD and sure enough... I didn't, but I wrote down the number of reps I completed for each exercise which will give me a starting point to set goals. I had a protein shake before, drank lots of water during, and enjoyed a recovery drink after.

This workout was done in the evening tonight due to the fact that I didn't receive the program in the mail until today. I had set today as day one, but the P90X took longer to get here than I thought.

My wife is also following along with me, which is great motivation! We had a late start on finalizing our meal plan for this week as we didn't have the nutrition guide to follow, so as soon as we received it, I spent a couple of hours on the computer planning out meals. Phase 1 - Fat Shredder. We're both a Level II, which means our nutrition level is 2400 calories/day. That's not hard to accomplish, but trying to balance the day's intake of calories in proportions of 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fat takes some calibrating. I've got the next couple of days planned out... we'll see how it goes!

I'm loving it so far, but we'll see if that changes in the morning. Tomorrow going to be a beast with Plyometrics! BRING IT!
