Day one...and so it begins!

6-13-10

Woke up this morning feeling pumped to start my second round of P90X today. Started by hopping back into the old routine of breakfast at around 7 (6 egg whites with onions and mushrooms, two whole wheat english muffins, and an apple). It was a busy day around the house with lots of cleaning and laundry to do...Sundays are always a little crazy but made it through it all. I didn't get in very much water throughout the day which would prove to be bad later in the day. I did well eating for the remainder of the day and even had steak for dinner, yum! So 6:30 rolls around and it is time to start the Back and Shoulders routine.

This started a whole lot better than it ended...I started determined to push myself harder than I did the first time around and by the time we had to repeat the exercises I was nearly spent...but I pushed through the pain and exhaustion (helps that my wife was there doing it with me) and dropped to the floor panting and dripping wet after the last exercise...a total of 111 varying push-ups plus a bunch of other exercises, much more than I did 90 days ago. Now that Back and Shoulders are done it is time for Ab-Ripper....ugh. I started out strong but got up to find out the cause of a crying child and felt incredibly ill and light headed....probably the effect of a lack of water throughout the day. Had to call it quits at that point. Went and got my recovery drink and felt a ton better. I definitely won't be making that mistake again.

Monday is Plyo! Looking forward to it!
