This workout is a killer. Tony says that this is the extreme in P90X and I believe it! I was huffing and puffing halfway into the warm-up! The warm up was tough, and I was warned the workout would be even harder, and oh was it! I wasn’t using a heart monitor, but I am absolutely sure I was redlining it pretty early into the workouts. The water breaks were a welcome respite. I cannot remember when, but while doing the solder exercise, I realized I had gone into “glucose shock” as I call it. That is when you are working so hard that your brain runs out of sugar and you get disoriented and cannot follow instruction very well. I was having trouble following which arm to move with which leg. It was pretty funny. Boko, my feline workout partner, had a good laugh. I was glad that I survived this one. Once again, there were times when I had to break, but considering this is my first week, I feel this is acceptable. If I am not keeping up in Week 2 or 3 at the latest, then I will be slacking.
My arms, especially my triceps right at my elbow are KILLING ME! My arms and back are sore, which means that I brought it yesterday, and I am feeling good. My joy has increase, I am feeling better about myself and I am looking forward to seeing myself at the end of phase 1. I am happy with myself today for working on improving my health. BRING IT!
I am still following the diet, salads for lunch, protein shakes or egg white scrambles for brekkie, and fish or chicken with veggies for dinner. Week 2 in the meal plan and still loving the food.
