The X in P90X. That's how they describe Plyometrics X. For those of you who don't know what plyometrics is, let me enlighten you. Plyo is jump training. So Plyo X is an hour of squat jumps, tire tire Heisman and jumping the creek looking quite gay. I woke up actually looking forward to doing this workout. I have a very strong lower body and my upper body is, well, let's just say I've earned the nickname Peter Griffin. Day 1 killed me. I felt good though all day yesterday. However, today is a new day. I woke up feeling like I had sandbags on my arms. And at well past midnight my arms still hurt. So 11 am came around, all the furniture was moved and guess what? My Plyo X dvd did. not. work. The old me would have given up on the day and just said it was meant to be a rest day. The somewhat determined me decided I needed to get Christy's copy and do it after work. So that's what I did. And I'm one hurting man.
My diet is going well I think. I cut back more food again today because I just felt like yesterday I had way too much to eat. I need to make sure I keep my eating schedule the same because today I wasn't as good with that. Other than that the first two days have gone well. Tomorrow is Chest and Arms or something like that. Boo.

P90X: Day 1
So here we go again. It's time for me to start P90x. The last time I tried it I failed because I had back problems. Day 1 was today and it sucked. Badly. Give me lower body workouts any day of the week over upper body. I hadn't done a push up in 7 months. Now I have done more than I care for. I do feel good though. It will be difficult to get through 90 days but I am determined....right now anyway. I'm also attempting the diet, which isn't so bad actually. It's a lot of protein and then a little of everything else. Here's my meal list for today. During phase 1 all my meals will generally look the same, with my snacks the same thing every day.
Breakfast: 6 ounces of Ham, 1 Banana, 8 ounces of Skim Milk
Snack: Small Gatorade, 2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter and 1 Cup of Celery
Lunch: 9 ounces of baked Chicken, 2 cups of Carrots, 1 Apple, 8 ounces of Skim Milk
Snack: 8 ounces of Chocolate Milk, 10 ounces of Cottage Cheese
Supper: 6 ounces of Pork Chop, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 medium potato, 4 tbsp of BBQ sauce
It's quite a bit healthier than what I've been eating and it's still a decent portion of food. Once I hit phase 2 my protein will drop a little and my dairy will as well. I'm pretty excited to start this "diet" and so we'll see how this progresses.
