P90X Day 1

Tried to run today. Knee hurt again, after about 1/2 a mile. So... Since I can't sit still...

P90X!

Ok. So today was Day 1. And here are my genuine thoughts.

1. I have no upper body strength. But I already knew that. It has just been confirmed for me. Over and over and over again through the hour long bicep and chest workout. Pull ups, push ups, pull ups, push ups... I can't do either! But I tried. I did that much, at least.

After an hour of failing miserably, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to close a car door tomorrow, that's how sore I'll be. I'm already sore.

2. You HAVE to be motivated to do this--I kept thinking, WHY??? WHYYYYY??? WHYYYYYYYYYYY????????? It's hard. And I don't think it matters how "fit" you are. I mean, Christmas, I just ran a marathon. And I'm dying. So anyone can do it (which means, we all CAN'T do it)

3. The Ab Ripper lives up to its name. I could feel my ab muscles literally ripping. BWHA I'm going to have the best 6 pack in the world if I can stay motivated.

4. I am NEVER eating junk food again. Or, at least not often at all. Slows you down, makes you feel lethargic, and doesn't help the cause.

5. I have to do this again. Tomorrow. And tomorrow is supposedly the most difficult one. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*Please stop hurting, knee. Please?
