P90X Day 1: Feel the Burn

Nothing like a good workout or fresh ink to make you hurt so good.  This morning, in my case, it was a good workout!

Day 1: P90X: Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X
OK, so someone put the wrong DVD in my set.  I'm a little PISSED OFF!  My arms and shoulders hurt.  So, since, I couldn't do Ab Ripper X that I purchased, I got the YouTube version and went back to the Fitness Guide to see if I got all the exercises.  So I think I'll keep using that until I get the correct DVD.  I used resistance bands instead of weights and pull-ups for Chest & Back.  I would say it was a tough, perfect, sweat drenching, challenging workout.  It's been years since I've sweat like that.  I did break my resistance bands, so I'll be investing in a new set today.  I need to hit up Target anyway!

Here's the P90X Ab Ripper X workout in 2 parts from YouTube that I used for those of you that are interested in giving it a try.

Day 1: Shakeology: Chocolate
I blended with a cup of berries (blueberries, blackberries and raspberries), half a banana, blueberry soy yogurt and a little milk.  It's really rich.  I can't taste any of the fruit, so that was kind of a waste of my fruit for the day!  It was so thick I couldn't hardly get it through my straw (thanks to the berries).  I stuck 1/2 in the fridge for later and decided to try another recipe.  16 oz of hot coffee and 1/2 scoop of Shakeology Chocolate.  Perfection.  I think I'll be making a coffee variety of the chocolate for the rest of the month!

Nutrition:
I planned out the day with water and meals for the rest of the day before bed last night.  We'll see how this goes, I'm not sure I can fit all this food in per calculations on what I should be eating, but I'm going to give it a shot.

H2O + Meds.
