Day 2!

So as day 2 comes to an end I find myself pleasantly sore. I say pleasantly because I was expecting it to be worse. Maybe it should have been... Maybe I didn't push myself hard enough yesterday... Oh well, tomorrow is a new day!

I actually did it this morning. I got up at 5am (ish). I got up, got dressed (in the dark), turned on the DVD for plyometrics and off I went! I promised to explain better what plyometrics was today, well here you go... HELL!!! I can now see why they call it "The Beast" of all the P90X workouts. It is nonstop movement. It is all based on jumping and squating. When I say jumping, I mean a lot of jumping. It wasn't easy. It was so difficult that I was only able to get through about 20 minutes of it. Not because I was tired or because it was too early, but because of my asthma! I would take a short break and then begin again, but my lungs just didn't want to give it up. Some of you might say, "Well then why did you continue to go at the same pace as them?" To you I say "I didn't!!" I went at my own speed, but at a speed that would still get me results. My body just didn't like it. I actually started to get sick to my stomach and was extremely dizzy. So I stopped. Maybe next time...

The diet is still going pretty good. For breakfast this morning I had a cheese scramble and a banana. It scramble was simply egg whites, a little bit of milk, and some mozzarella cheese. It wasn't too bad. I added a little salt and pepper to give it a little more flavor. For snack today I had lightly salted, dry roasted cashews (MMMMMM!!!!!). Can I just say that I love the fact that I get to double up on my snacks. For lunch I had the same thing I had yesterday. Two turkey burger patties and some more strawberries. Then for dinner I made a lemon and garlic chicken and had another salad. The chicken was pretty good and very simple to make. The salad was another failure tonight. I'm REALLY trying hard to eat salad. I really am! Tonight I got through more of it, though. I had about 3-4 bites. I had a plain spinach salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, pine nuts, and goat cheese. No dressing. I did try everything this time. The tomatoes I guess were okay, I'm not too sure on them. The cucumbers, on the other hand, I had to force down. I only had one and I was fighting my gag reflex the entire time. I know, I know! It's just a cucumber. I don't know why I reacted the way I did. I just did.

That's it for today. I am beat AGAIN! It's so nice to actually be tired at 10 o'clock at night! Tomorrow's workout: Shoulders & Arms, followed by Ab Ripper X!

I think I can. I think I can.
