P90x: Day 1 (Post Workout)

Wow....I knew it would be an intense workout but....wow. So I said in my previous post that we had read through all the material. Apparently, I missed the part about WHEN to eat. It was a busy day yesterday and I didn't get around to eating lunch until 3:00pm. Then, when I did eat I couldn't find much in the fridge so I wound up eating a few eggs and drinking some milk. And, judging by my wife's laughter when I told her what I drank as I was hugging the toilet halfway through the workout, your not suppose to do that.

So, Day 1 = Not a good experience.

I made it through 33 minutes before my intense urge to hurl and pass out. By that point in the workout I was shaking and could barely stand. After about 15 minutes laying on the floor my sense returned and I cracked open the nutrition guide to find my mistake. I was able to return for the last 5-10 minutes of the work out (Chest & Back) and I was able to go through the entire Ab Ripper X workout.

Today I plan to eat better!!

On another note:  Stacy killed the workout though!

Neither of us have ever worked out on any type of regular basis for any long period of our lives. So P90x is quite a change for us.

I did like the video, Tony has very timely advice and does a good job of letting you know that you simply need to "Do your best and forget the rest". As corny as that sounds it helps a lot!
