Yesterday was a busy day for me. It's a good thing that I had the option to rest, so I took it. Today was X2 Total Body and it was definitely a total body challenge. I had the most trouble with the pull ups, especially since I can't even do 1 yet. I also had trouble with pushup using the medicine balls. Since my upper body strength is pretty poor, it hurt my wrists to use the medicine balls. Instead, I opted to do the pushups using only the mat and surprised myself at how many I could do (without going to my knees). I feel good about it so far. I know that I can't expect to keep up with the video models yet, but I hope to keep giving it my all and eventually be able to pull my own body weight up to do a chin up by program's end.
I'm doing well with following the nutrition plan and reminding myself to eat every couple of hours. I finished all my portions today and I'm actually starting to feel hungry now despite having a pretty filling dinner. Maybe my metabolism is kicking up a notch? That couldn't hurt!
Tomorrow is Yoga and I'm really looking forward to it because I could definitely use the time to stretch out my sore hamstrings. I'm feeling optimistic with this first phase and think that I should be able to complete it with no problems, although I am only 4 days into it. We'll see how it goes.
Until next time...
