P90X, Week 2, day 1

Woo-hoo!!! I'm still doing P90X and still just as motivated as day1 - sort of. I tried to talk myself out of it tonight. I kept saying, "I'm tired, I just don't think I can do it tonight." But you know what? I did!! I put the DVD in and pushed play, and the rest is history. I have to say that I feel 100 times better for doing it too. I'm so proud of me right now.
I implemented some changes today. First, I did pull-ups using the bar with a chair. Man, oh man, were they tough! My average was about 8. I did the best on the reverse grip ones. I thought it was funny because I finally found a spot to put my husband's pull-up bar - in the closet doorway...I kept getting my hair caught on the clothes rack. LOL.
My neck is feeling a little sore though so I must've been straining a little too much to pull-up. I should probably try and use my foot a little more to prevent that, or it could be from my push-ups. I might not be holding my neck right. I don't know.
My second change, I did push-ups off my knees (not all of them, but a good many of them). I didn't make that a goal for this week, but figured I'd give it a try. I did as many as I could and then I switched to knees. I felt the diamond push-ups a lot more on my knees since I was able to get further down. My WORST push-ups by far are the decline. I can barely do 3 of them. UGH! I used to do them on a stability ball, boy have I come a long way (in the opposite direction).

I was told that the Ab Ripper X is at the end of the video, and, yep, it was! I had turned it off too soon last week. The ab routine was tough tonight! After sucking your gut in for all those push-ups, then trying to do some of those moves, I actually did a little worse on some of them then last week.
I do know that I'll be sore tomorrow. My neck is sore and even my forearms are feeling a bit stiff, so I just know I'll wake up sore tomorrow. What a great workout!!
I don't even want to go into my eating today. It's my birthday!! No, I didn't have any cake. I didn't eat anything terrible either, it's just what I had was terrible. I decided to do salmon for dinner, so I put it in the fridge to thaw earlier today. Well it was still frozen, so I put it on quick defrost in the microwave and it practically cooked it. Now, I never make fish. I usually have it when my sister comes over or when my husband is home because they make it. So, needless to say, putting it on the Foreman grill after defrosting was a bad idea. It tasted like rubber. Dogs liked it though.
Looking forward to Week 2, day 2 tomorrow! Bring it!!
