"I can't stand the sight of kids getting emotional, unless it's from physical exhaustion." - Sue Sylvester (gLee)

Well, Sue wouldn't have minded the sight of me today while attempting day 1 of p90x. In the about 75th minute of the workout I'm pretty sure I was about to cry...

So day 1 of P90x is in the books! IT WAS HARD!! Today was back, chest and abs. Basically it was ALOT of push ups and chin ups. I didn't make it all the way through any of the push up sections. I would do 3-5 on my toes and then drop down to my knees, but it still kicked my butt! I did not do any chin ups on the bar (kyle did) instead I used resistance bands and will work my way up to chin ups. All in all it wasn't horrible just difficult! On a side note, Tony (the DVD instructor) has got to be one of the most annoying people ever! Trust me - as soon as we have been through the DVD's once we will mute him and have some music! I can not handle him much longer.
The "Ab Ripper X" is what almost did me in! It was the hardest ab workout I've ever done - and you don't get any breaks. About 1/3 of the way through I wanted to curl up in the fetal position and wait for death. It owned me! I think next time I'll do 20 sets of everything until I'm in better shape.
Food intake for the day was good - but I need to figure out a way to get all the protein in that I need (not too big on protein bars) so maybe a supplement I can mix in a drink will work for me.
Anyway, 1 day down 89 to go-
Bring it on!!

BTW - I think I'll post every day this week because it's the first week, then maybe just 2 times a week after that - I don't want to start getting annoying!
