Ok, so yesterday was Day 1 and it went well. I am using the "portion" approach to track my food intake throughout the day. This document is very helpful as I simply have to check the boxes throughout the day. The excel file can be found here: http://www.thefitclubnetwork.com/2009/01/p90x-nutrition-plan-made-easy/. On this same website, there is a Word file under Step 2 that shows what you can have for each food group. I'm trying to get used to not having a check box for chips or cookies :) Yesterday, here was my menu:
Breakfast: Pure Protein Bar - 20g protein, 200 cal
Snack: Pure Protein Bar - 20g protein, 200 cal
Lunch: Ultimate Grilled Chicken Sandwich (threw away the top bun) and a small chili from Wendy's
Snack: 17 Turkey Pepperonis
Dinner: P90X Turkey Chili with peppers, onions, beans, and tomatoes w/ 2 cups of steamed veggies
Snack: All natural Dreyers frozen strawberry bar - 80 cal
Post-Workout: Body Fortress Protein Shake - 26 g protein, 105 cal
Total Calories: 1,675
Calories burned from P90X: 600
Net: 1,075
The workout for Day 1 was Chest and Back with Ab Ripper X. The total workout time for this was 1 hr. 15 min. I gave it all I had for the entire workout hammering out push-ups and pull-ups to absolute failure. By the end, my body was shaking and I was drenched in sweat. I came out of the workout absolutely exhausted and my muscles were like jello from the beating. The great thing about it is that I know I shredded some muscle fibers and now they are in the process of getting larger.
Suck it up and quit whining.
ReplyDeleteI did about 30 days of P90x this time last year. Hardest thing I've ever done. I can't do push-ups or pull-ups to save my life.
I am proud of you and thanks for helping me try to get one...and as for Brett's comment...he is a pansy and you aren't so I know that you can do this...prove it to yourself and to him!!!!
