Well, today was Day 1 of P90x for me and Julie. It is Labor Day and I slept in a bit, got up about 8 AM, and made myself some eggs and egg whites with turkey polish sausage and 2% cheese. It was good, and I relaxed for a bit and drank some coffee.

Julie got up and we hit the basement for day 1 of P90x. I've done this workout a bunch of times before, but now that I have more equipment, dumbells, and a workout partner, it was a whole different ballgame.

The series of pushups and pullups was hardcore. There were some that were easier than I thought (surprisingly the declined pushups) but most kicked my ass with wreckless abandon. I was covered in sweat and was completely wasted when we finished the series. I wrote it all down and realized I need to get heavier dumbells soon as I progress. At a buck a pound.. bah. Its worth it.

THe fact that we launched P90X on a holiday really set the bar. We had a few different options of where to go - a friend's house where there would be beer and drinks and hot dogs... or another friend that should have more friendly food (and doesn't drink). We went with option 2, and had a great time. We went and sat by the lake, ate a huge pile of turkey, salad, etc. I ate 3/4 lb of turkey. Hey - gotta get that protein in any way you can!

Just got home... feeling a bit sore, but I should sleep well tonight. Slammed down some yogurt and protein powder. I think that'll be something I'll be eating regularly. It is very tasty and filling. I may not be saying that in 89 days... but it works for me.

Tomorrow is another challenge, as I have a huge day at work, and a fundraiser event that is sure to be filled with delicious foods and an open bar... as well as a nice dinner at a private club afterward... I need to be on my A game. I also have to get my workout in before work as there will be no other time.

Cheers!
