P90X - Day 2 - Plyometrics

Sixty minutes of hard core cardio, hopping around like crazy people, we almost made it through the whole thing but mostly I pooped out at the end. Then afterwards we drank the yummy recovery drink shake thingie with banana...that was pretty yum.

Plyometrics was pretty tough but definitely way more fun then Day 1. Tomorrow is more arms and stuff...

It is now midnight and I still have dishes to do before I drag my butt upstairs to the shower. Nite all!

P90X Day 1 - The Good and the Ugly

OK so the good news is, I got new shoes! That is the ONLY upside on P90X Day 1, cute new kicks. You need cross trainers and not just normal regular shoes in order to torture yourself in unspeakable ways. My loving husband bought them for me and so at least in the horrendous "before" pics my feet look good.

To start, we spent a half million dollars on healthy food and packed the fridge.

We ate what felt like a ton of food but still seemed to be hungry. Breakfast consisted of SIX egg whites in an omelet with tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions. We also ate a cup of cottage cheese and fresh squeezed orange juice.

We had homemade veggie soup and chicken salad for lunch and swordfish, asparagus, and rice for dinner. The snack for the day was 30 pistachios. Thirty sounds like a lot, but it is so not. We drank a lot of water , Crystal Light, and black coffee with Splenda.

Overall we had a lot of great food to eat. I just need to retrain my Weight Watcher brain that all this food is actually fuel that I MUST eat in order to have maximum performance in this new style of exercise.

By 8:30 pm we finally got ourselves ready to start the first workout. This was after we took the fantastic and charming "before" pictures. I am very hesitant to share them because we look very much in need a of a program such as this. I am mortified that I gained so much weight back already. But this is a different day and a different type of training and I am so open to the possibilities.

This program is VERY VERY hard. If you want a kick ass body, you will have to work VERY VERY hard for it! The most important thing, as with everything in life is, never ever ever give up, even if you cry, like I did.
