All I can say is soreness…I finally gathered the courage to pop in the first DVD and I have to say, it’s insane! The amount of reps and the flexibility required to do some of the moves literally wiped me out. What’s even harder than the exercises is the eating part. For the fitness goals that I want to achieve, I have to eat 5 meals equating to roughly 2,600 calories a day. A typical day would be:
Breakfast: 8 egg whites w/ veggies, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, 3oz of cottage cheese
Snack: Protein bar
Lunch: Chicken salad
Snack #2: 20 almonds
Dinner: Brocolli and beef stirfry with soba nooodles, veggies, & protein
and I’m suppose to do this for 90 freakin days?? Between prepping the food, finding temporary housing for it, and eating it, where do you find time for exercise? Unfortunately, I wasn’t prepared for the amount of effort required for p90X and I didn’t even last for a week! I’m so weak…but I’ll be back on the wagon and gonna start fresh, right when I get back from my D.C. trip…
