Thanks for the post grayfox 77. I just ate my first day breakfast, wow alot more food then I'm use to eatting.I feel sick to my stomach.I will be working out at 1pm when my boy is down for his nap.I need all the luck I can get.
thanks angela

I started my first day today.Lean phase

My first workout was Core Synergistics

I loved the workout,I found it challenging but something I think I can get good at.
The only problem is my kids were crying and wouldn't leave me alone.
I will be trying out different times of the day ,to get it right.My food plan was good today,was hungry at times.
Thanks for asking
Angela

Lacee 727 I glad you stop by. My husband also has started today too; He just doesn't want people to know he's working out. It helps me that we are doing this together so the food plan will work for me. When I was working out To Power 90, I didn't watch my food intake so much. So I'm really happy that with P90X I'm doing down to a tee. I bet you look better in a bikini then I. If you go to my first message board Angela turn around under power 90 you will see the first time I showed my pictures, I was 29 pounds heavier. But after you work hard you will be happy for people to see how far you have come. Keep it up; I’ll be there for you on our journey.
Good luck

Angela- First of all, it takes A LOT of courage to put your pics on the internet. Not just you, but anybody who is out of shape. But, most people that do this are very serious about changing their life. And, when you reach your goals you will look back at those pics and be amazed you ever allowed yourself to look the way you did. (I am not saying you looked bad. I am speaking for me and everyone else I have talked to on this board)

Second- I am a stay-at-home dad. I have 3 kids (now). When I did my first round of P90x (we had 2 kids and my wife was prego) I did it during my baby's nap, like you are trying to do. My oldest would stay upstairs and watch TV and eat her lunch while I worked out. It is hard. I did feel guilty. But, I know I needed to do it for me, and the family. She would come down and get me if she needed me.

My kids are now 5 1/2 (just started kindergarten, almost 22 months, and 4 months. Now that my oldest is in school and the baby is not on a schedule yet I do my workouts when they are in bed for the night. So, I start my workouts at 8pm.

I am only on the recovery week of Round 2 (because the baby was in the hospital for 23 days when he was born. Then when he was home he needed some care so I couldn't get consistent workouts in.

I am not trying to bore you with the details of my life here. All I am trying to say is, while it can be difficult to do with kids around, and things don't always happen as planned, there is a way to fit it in and take care yourself. Be proud of yourself for making the choice.

By the way, all the sore muscles, gallons of sweat, and hours of working out and I am still only down 13 lbs. I highly recommend you don't weigh yourself daily because it can be frustrating. This program is not designed to lose weight. If you are following the nutrition guide to a tee you might not lose much. It is designed to put on muscle, even in the lean version. The scale can be discouraging at times. You are better off just doing the weight on day 30, 60, and 90, along with updated pics. That's just what I learned in the last 8 months.

To start, thanks for your wise words.2nd we only live 3 hours from each other. If I didn't post my pictures for Power 90, I wouldn't have noticed the difference between Days 1-90. My friends noticed my change in weight but when I show them the site with my pictures they keep on saying "I don't remember you being that big. If putting my picture up helps even one person to keep pushing play, then I don't mind baring my body to show how far I have come in such a short time.
Are you also doing the Lean program or the Classic?
If you post your pictures then don't forget to tell me Because it would be inspiring to see someone else going through the changes.

Day 3

I felt like I rock it, Shoulders and arm was a good program. I worked all the way through and did the bonus round. Abs ripper X was a different story, man that was not easy...Lol. My legs were still sore, so some of the exercises were killing me because my legs were burning faster then my Abs .Both of my children are in bed, so I worked out in peace and quiet. Now tomorrow is going to be Yoga X, Everyone I know hates it. I am flexible we'll see how I do.

Day 5


Back and Legs
Felt the burn. It my first time to do pull ups. Both feet on the chair, and it still were tuff.
Did it all, need a nap though.
What you do the day before does affect your next day workout. I had lock myself out yesterday from 11:30-3:30.Didn't have my wallet. No lunch yesterday.....Made me weak in the first place and did all 90 mins of Yoga X. Didn't have the energy for today.

Day 6
Kenpo X

I felt like I couldn't get my heartbeat in the zone for the first 20 mins Trying to get the punch combinations right (Jab/cross/hook) with it being only three punches I would get confused and felt uneven. The rest was good.

Right on, you wouldn't be sorry for taking your picture in a bikini.I use a Tankini last time; it was hard to see how much I lost in my stomach.
How is your recovery day?
Keep in touch..
