P90X day 1

So I did it!  I did day one of P90X

I am going to have to come back and add more to this once I get all my measurements and all but I plan to log each day so I can keep track and motivate myself and stay on track too lol.

I got up at 5 am as usual.  I get up and make my husband's lunch for him and then I go back to bed usually til sometime between 730-900 depending on my kids.  But today I stayed up and went downstairs and tried to turn on my xbox 360 to do the dvd.  For some reason there was no sound.  I don't know why.  I was discouraged at first but I refused to let it get me down so I said I will not quit!  Although my bed said come back to me....lol
I switched the dvd to the laptop, it started and then the laptop started acting crazy, mind you its been acting crazy for weeks now.  I quickly ejected it out of the old laptop and put it in my new laptop my Grandma just bought me two weeks ago.  Why I didn't do this first?  It was upstairs next to my bed and I didn't want to go back up there....but I ran up the stairs grabbed it and ran back down as to not be tempted by the fluffy comforter!
I popped the dvd in and tada there was the first workout here are my results from the
Chest and Back:
Push Ups: 25/22
Pull Ups:15/10
Military Push Ups:15/16
Reverse Pull Ups:15/15
Wide Fly Push Ups:15/17
Close Hand Pull Ups:17/10
Decline Push Ups:5/1 *Only push ups I didn't do on my knees
Heavy Pants: 25 reps/25 reps
Diamond Push Ups: 5/5
Lawnmower: 15 reps/15 reps *doubled weight on second set
Nose-Chest-Hips:0/0 very unsuccessful
Back Flys:15 reps/25 reps

The first time we went threw it I didn't give 100 % cuz I didn't want to burn myself out because I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  The second time you go threw it he says give it everything.  All the push ups except the decline I had to do on my knees.  I used to be in the Army and used to max my push ups...ohh how the mighty have fallen crashed and burned!!!  I used 3 lb weights for everything...why?  Cuz that is all I have!  I definitely need heavier weights though!  or just a set of resistance bands...  I got a chin up bar too.  Got it this weekend, my husband has no idea why I had him install it.  Thinks I just want to do pull ups. lol  It cost 19.77 at Wal mart and took him less than 10 minutes to install it for me.  I got the kind that has the swing bar on it so i don't do an actual pull up I do the modified one but I am hoping that eventually one day I will!
After the Chest and Back dvd I attempted the next dvd your supposed to do on day 1.  Ha!!! the Ab ripper X!  Yeah I didn't finish a single exercise of the 15 minute dvd.  Holy crap.  I attempted them all but I could do the whole 25 reps of any of them.  I tried but I am even more out of shape than I thought.  Your supposed to do that workout 3 times a week i think...i think i need it every day! lol I am ashamed of myself!

As for my diet?  I bought Jillian Michaels kit for 19.99 at Wal Mart (I know) that has some detox stuff I take and then fat burning stuff later and every morning I am taking vitamin B12 for hopefully energy boost. I had a whole bottle of water during my workout and then I had a slimfast drink for breakfast -200 calories.  So I will continue to record as the day goes on.  But at least i did it!  Go me lol
