Day 1

Alright. I quit.

j/k lol lmfao rofl loser loner whatever goodbye

Anyway, this morning I actually ended up starting even earlier than normal. Day 1 was chest and back, followed by the Ab Ripper. 'Twas quite the ass kicking of a workout, but I made it through and now I have a beautiful chest. Ok, maybe not quite yet... It was basically a lot of switching between different kinds of push ups and different kinds of pull ups. I can't quite do full pull ups yet, so I use an assist (I put the tip of my toe on a raised platform in front of me) to take some of my weight off. It's great because it allows me to really work on form and achieve a meaningful workout, rather than strain myself trying to do two pull ups. I could DEFINITELY feel me back working! As for the push ups, I was pretty impressed with myself, to be honest, but it's definitely going to be a while before I can do proper diamond push ups. But that'll come as my arms get stronger. I've started using the P90X iPhone app to track my exercises. It allows me to record the number of reps I do for each exercise and then over time creates graphs to show my progress.

As for meals today, it wasn't the best day for being prepared, but I still made do. If anything, I actually may have under eaten a bit.

Breakfast was a spinach and green onion scramble with 6 egg whites, a glass of soy milk with a about 2 tbsp of protein powder, and some sliced strawberries. Shortly after getting to work, I also had an orange. I then had a protein bar at around 11.

For lunch I got a Caesar salad and this packet of plain, ready cooked, heat and go chicken from Trader Joe's. I only used half of the dressing and sliced some of the chicken and added it to the salad. I then ate more of the chicken. Gotta get that protein!

I snacked on cashews and had another orange around 4:30pm.

Unfortunately, I had to pick up Max from the vet (he had some work done today) and was running late to meet some friends at my house for our usual Monday night viewing of Once Upon A Time, so I didn't have time to really make an elaborate dinner. I quickly made a salad of spring greens, tomato, cucumber, and onion, added the rest of the chicken from lunch, and dressed with a lite balsamic dressing. Later I snacked on some turkey jerky and had some more soy milk with protein powder. Again, not too proud of this, but still making sure I get the protein I need and not eating any crap!

Oh, and this morning I weighed in at 167 lbs. Let's see where I am in two weeks!

Tomorrow I take on Plyometrics. Pray for me! Haha
