For dinner we cooked Chicken Cordon Bleu, a recipe we found on the website www.biggest-loser-recipes.com

This was a really good dinner, it didn't taste too "diety" if you know what I mean.

Then...Day 1 P90X.  Chest and Back, followed by Ab Ripper X.

Let's just say, not the easiest thing I've done.  It is a circuit routine, and once you have done all of the exercises once, you get to do them all again.  Push ups...about 6 different kinds, and pull ups...4 or 5 different kinds.  Throw in a few resistance exercises and call it Chest and Back.  I'm not gonna lie, I had to resort to girl push ups to make it.  I'm okay with that.  At least I made it through.  

Ab Ripper X is a totally different story.  It was a killer, its only 15 minutes...the longest 15 minutes of my life.  Maybe, just maybe I did a fourth of the exercises.  In time, I hope to be able to make it through.  When the video starts Tony Horton says," Don't say 'I can't do something.' Say 'I currently struggle with..'" Makes sense to me.  It gives you something to work towards.  

I'm proud to say that day 1 is in the books.  Tomorrow is Plyo X.  Git-R-Done.

Just a heads up, Annalysa and I will both be posting on this blog.  This is a journey that we are both taking together, and we figured that we each need to be able to say our piece.  

Time for a shower. 

Kaleb.
