P90X Day 2 : What The Hell Have I Started

My original plan was to post my before pictures.  I still intend to but not until I have some "after" pictures as well, or at least some "check-point" pictures.  Seeing my before pictures was definitely a wake up call.  I knew I was out of shape but really?  That much so?  Ew!  So in four weeks, I will post "before" and "four week" photo's.  Seeing how fat I was.. as in past tense will be easier for me to swallow and certainly easier for me to share then to post them now. 

Today's workout, plyometrics, is beyond my capability but I struggled through what I could and made excuses when I needed a break.  E.g. the cat needed to be let out, a light was left on, etc.  The diet today was:

Breakfast:  Sammy made with Soy Sausage, an English Muffin and Mozzarella Cheese.  I scrambled some egg whites on the side.  I have to say it wasn't awful but it wasn't anything like a McDonalds Sausage McMuffin for sure.

Snack:  Coffee with a bit of creamer.  Not exactly on the plan but... it's way better then Starbucks right?

Lunch:  Big ole salad with greens, a few cherry tomato's, diced chicken, turkey bacon, egg and avocado.  The salad would have been perfect but I ruined it with fat-free salad dressing.  Blech.  Next time may be I'll use olive oil and vinaigrette.

Snack:  Cliff Bar

Recovery Drink:  Chocolate Milk

Dinner:  6 oz Chicken with a Cherry Tomato sauce.  1/2 cup of rice and a side of zucchini & bell peppers sauteed in a bit of chicken broth.  A little bland but not bad.  I used oregeno, basil and pepper to add flavor.

So in summary today wasn't too bad and you may be questioning why I referenced hell in my title.  Wait for it... wait for it... Planning for Day 3 - Day 7 sucked and the details are still a little wonky. 

The thought of getting up at six a.m. to workout before work makes me sleepy already.  Additionally, two - three days a week I train in Taekwon Do which means double work outs.  As if that isn't hard enough to swallow planning the meals ahead of time makes my brain hurt. 

I meant to do more planning and to be more prepared but failed miserably.  I have a large pot of vegetable soup and it smells terrific.  I sectioned some raw chicken into four servings, and it's ready to be cooked be it poached, grilled, or broiled.  Not much progress.  Instead of focusing on what I have not accomplished I'm going to focus on what I have.  I just hope I can find enough time through out the week to plan for each day and to take each day at a time.
