Done with week one!

Well, I made it through my first week of P90X. I have to say, I love, love, love this workout!! I know, it's only been a week, but I can already tell that I am going to be really challenged. This is exactly what I have been looking for! So, I did not follow the eating plan to the letter. I stuck to it as best I could with the food we had in the house. I am going to the store today, so next week should be a little tighter as far as the eating plan goes. I did keep track of everything I ate, though. I also had 2 cheat meals. I will not apologize for this. I really need my cheat meals or else I end up binge eating something really high in calories like an entire pizza or a pint of ice cream. I did find a recipe for ice cream made from cottage cheese in one of the blogs I follow. I made some of this to keep me from raiding my in-law's freezer which has 3 containers of full-fat ice cream in it right now. So, on to the workouts. Here's my impression of them:
Monday- Chest & Back was definitely challenging. I didn't have a pull-up bar, so I used a resistance band with a door anchor. I have to say, this was not enough for me and I purchased a basic pull-up bar the next day at Walmart.
Tuesday- Plyometrics. Oh yeah, this workout kicked my booty! I have to give credit where credit is due. The only reason I got through this entire workout is because I have been doing Turbo Fire for 8 weeks. This workout works everything from your core to your feet!
Wednesday- Shoulders & Arms- I was actually surprised at how much weight I could lift. I found myself having to use heavier weights on the second round and I will probably increase the weight on most of the exercises next time.
Thursday- Yoga X- Okay, I can't comment on this one as I did not do it. Sorry, but the idea of doing yoga for 90 minutes makes me cringe! I know it's really beneficial and everything and I promise I will do it next week.
Friday- Legs & Back- Oh yeah, I only did the first half of this workout. I just couldn't hang. I will definitely need to eat something before this one so that I don't pass out. It's one killer workout.  I used the pull up bar with a chair to take most of my body weight. Bar none, the hardest legs workout I have ever encountered!
Saturday- Kenpo X- I actually enjoyed this one. It really brought back memories of Turbo Fire. My shoulders, back, abs and legs are all sore today.
Sunday- Rest or Stretch X- I decided to just rest today and really assess how my week went.
One reward I got was shopping for new clothes on Friday. Eight weeks of Turbo Fire worked their magic and my pants are all just too big now! I went to the Goodwill to shop for clothes as I am only planning to wear them temporarily.
For anyone out there who is thinking about trying P90X, do it! If you are not afraid of pushing yourself and you really want to make significant gains in your fitness goals, just go for it. I have no regrets and fully plan on doing a second round when I am done with this one!
