Day 1--Yikes!

DISCLAIMER:  I journaled this the day we started, but now that I have the blog, I am switching to that as my outlet. 

TUESDAY:  We decided not to watch the videos before doing them the first time, that way we wouldn't dread it anymore than we already did!  LOL  We are working out at 5am while the kids are still asleep and then it gives us time to shower and prep for our day as usual. 

WOW--didn't ever imagine a time when I would be attempting to do "diamond" push-ups.  Hello, my name is Dawn and I admit to doing "girl" push-ups the first day of P90x!  Tony said "quality over quantity" and I stuck to that motto.  I did the best darn diamond push-ups I could do and boy are my abs already tight!  I laughed--out loud--when Elijah mentioned pull-ups!  I couldn't do them as a 7 year old, let alone a 36 year old, out-of-shape-mother-of-two!  But, the chair helped ALOT.  I could still "do" some pull-ups and use the chair for stability.  It was hard, but I didn't want to quit.  I was worn smooth out after the workout, but felt great at the same time!  By the time I could get to the shower, my arms were jello and I wondered how I was going to wash my hair!  LOL  I couldn't wait to have my Shakeology for breakfast and hit the day with a good stride.  By the end of work, the soreness had started and I dreaded the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) that would set in tomorrow!   Had great energy and didn't even get hungry until after lunchtime!  Woohoo!

I am proud of myself for starting, finishing day 1 and looking forward to day 2! Remember....change4life
