Day 1

I got up in the am and did the Fit Test without too much difficulty. I then proceeded to eat the huge breakfast that the meal plan asks for. I am not used to eating more than a piece of toast in the morning and I didn't feel very well afterward. Hopefully I will get used to it soon.

My schedule works best to do the exercise program after work, around 5:30 p.m. When I got home I quickly got changed into my "Bring It" gear and got started on the first set of exercises - Chest and Back and then immediately went into the Ab Ripper X. I think I performed pretty well on the first round of exercises, but I really bit in on the Ab Ripper X. There is definitely room for improvement on both.

Afterwards I was really wiped and could barely lift my arms or get out of my workout gear. I downed a quick Recovery Drink (one that I already had, not the P90X drink) and found that I felt better after half an hour or so.

So of course I still had to cook dinner: chicken breast with honey chili sauce, quinoa, veggies; and prepare lunch for today. All in all we spent an hour and a half making dinner and then the chicken salad and asparagus soup for today. It felt like alot of work after such a strenuous workout and after doing all the weighing and measuring and clean-up, I fell into bed exhausted.
