Day 3!

Well, the first two days were not so bad. The cardio and core synergistics were pretty normal and they were what I had expected them to be. Today was my first day lifting. I really tried to max on reps and push myself with weight that was heavier than I am used to. I did most of my excersizes with 10lb weights, when I am only used to using 5lbs. It was tough. I feel like jello right now. Today was Shoulder/Bicep and Ab Ripper. I have pretty strong abs already, but man I felt that DVD. Felt good! Tomorrow is Yoga...not really looking forward to that...not the biggest fan of yoga. Have done it in the past and was not that impressed. Plus the DVD is 90 minutes! Holy Crap! 90 Minutes of Yoga! I think I will do it before bed. Maybe I will be presently surprised.
The diet is going. We are both a little off plan. We are still getting most, if not all, of our daily requirements. I have never eaten this much meat in my life, and it is getting harder and harder. blah. I was pretty much Vegan before I started this and to go from no meat or dairy to 6 oz. of meat with every meal and two servings of dairy a day, it has been tough. Everything about the diet is pretty horrible. You have to limit fruits and veggies and that is what I am used to living off of. And Rus and I are on different calorie levels so I feel like I am always preparing 3 meals for every meal of the day. Even if we are eating the same thing Rus needs more meat, more sauce, more veggie...it is annoying. So We are being a little more lenient that we should with the diet, but we are still with the no sugar, added salt, and limited fats and carbs. We have decided to have one "special treat" a week. with this being the almost holiday season I can't (and won't) be deprived of some pumpkin treats! yummy! I guess it gives me little goals to look forward to. If I work really hard for the week, I get a yummy piece of pie or a yummy cookie on Saturday. Is it Saturday yet? lol.

Day 1! Over and Out!

Well, Day 1 is over. I am doing the P90X lean version and today was core synergistic. Honestly, I didn't think it was all that bad. I enjoyed it. All of the moves were new to me so I am sure that my body will be sore tomorrow. As far as endurance, I kept up pretty well and even maxed out on a couple of things. I am looking forward tomorrow and getting to use the weights some more. I have to say that I love the way the videos are set up. I love the "progress bar" at the bottom of the DVD. It is good to know how far you have come and how long you have to go...so I guess it could be good news and bad news. TC enjoyed the video as well. He kept trying to do all of the jumping and squatting and especially the Dreya Roll.
The diet, ah, the diet. We are trying to stick to the meal plan they have listed in the book, but I don't know how realistic it is going to be. I had to make turkey burgers at 9pm last night so my hubby would have them to take to lunch today. So we may be sticking to the easier things on the menu like turkey and tuna sandwiches, much more practical. I am having a hard time drinking the protein power because...well...it tastes absolutely horrible. Rus thinks it tastes like chocolate milk...obviously his taste buds are confused.
Well, I am pooped. Running after TC all day in the house (rain, please go away!) is wearing me out! Time for some snuggley family time. Only 89 days to go!
