Day 1

Okay, this is Day 1 of P90X. My DH gave it to me for graduation after I expressed interest in trying it out. I am going to use this blog to post my progress, my workouts, and my meals. So, to get started, here are my measurements (and initial goals):
Chest: 46.5 (40)
Waist: 42 (36)
Hips: 54 (50)
Upper Arm: 15.5 (14)
Thigh: 29.75 (25)
Weight: about 235 (I will weigh myself tomorrow)

Today's workout: Core Synergistics
I was challenged by the workout, that I expected...I am surprised that I was predominately able to keep up! I did not do the bonus section, but that is okay, it is a goal AFTER I am able to complete the entire REGULAR workout.

Todays food:
Breakfast: 1/2 Mushroom Scramble, 6 oz cottage cheese, 1 c strawberries
Snack: Chocolate protein shake with skim and peanut butter (1T), creatine
Lunch: Chef Salad
Snack: 6 oz cottage cheese with 1 c strawberries
Dinner: 10 oz flounder, 4T lemon dill sauce, 2 c roasted red pepper soup with protein powder, 1 c wild rice, 1 artichoke

What I am most challenged by, however, is the amount of food I am supposed to consume at each meal. The only meal I have ACTUALLY been able to finish was lunch! Half of my morning scramble is in the fridge for another day and the second half of my cottage cheese and fruit mixture was an afternoon snack. I am so accustomed to trying to eat as little as possible (and overeating anyway), that I am having a hard time eating everything in one sitting... I have noticed, however, that I am hungry every 2-3 hours...
