Wow! Of course I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't realize it would be this demanding. Ok, so I did, but anyway, it's hard! You have to be mentally ready to push through all the burning and weakness and get through it. I'm learning very fast and it's only day 1.
I definitely need to up my calories. I was very weak when I was doing the Ab Ripper X after the Chest & Back. My reps for the Chest & Back portion weren't amazing, but they didn't completely suck either. I feel pretty good about them. My arms don't like it, but I'll whip them into shape in no time and they will love it!!
My diet consisted of a protein shake in the morning, and I'm serious, that filled me up. Then I was kinda hungry later so I had about half of a nasty protein bar. I need to find a better tasting bar. HA! For lunch, I had a small salad with a side of fruit and then for a snack I had cottage cheese and the rest of the protein bar. For dinner, I had a delicious grilled lemon peppered chicken, green beans, fruit, and a small roll. I know I shouldn't have eaten the roll, but after the healthy stuff today, it tasted somewhat like cheesecake. Lol! Kinda....it I use my imagination. ;)
My arms are feeling a bit weak after the workout. I need to ice my left shoulder a bit, but that recovery drink will speed up the healing process. The hips were definitely popping. Kinda annoying.
But, enough with the bad. I loved the workout, well, after it was all said and done. I felt very good about it. I feel as though I didn't get what I could have gotten out of Ab Ripper X because I was real weak during that workout. I think when I up the calories that I take in, it will improve. My body was just in shock. Ha!
I can't wait for tomorrow! I heard that Plyometrics is harder than day 1, but I am ready for the challenge!
More thoughts later....
