The first day for my 90 day P90X challenge. I would like to capitalize the word CHALLENGE. Coz really it is a challenge in itself to follow through and keep going with the exercise instructor Tony Horton. The first exercise deals with the back and shoulders that took about an hour. Halfway through the exercise I was beat. Doing push ups is just sooooo heavy. You do as much push ups for a minute then after about 15 seconds of recovery you do your pulls ups... Imagine doing 100 push ups in one hour.. then you'll get the gist of what I mean.. I was sore... I can barely bend my elbow with the muscle spasm it brought me.

As advised I took a picture of me.. front, side and back... oh dear it was nasty! scrawny arms... bulging tummy.. chicken feet.. you get the picture..

But I have committed myself to doing this exercise.

That was 6 days ago. Everyday I committed myself to doing the exercise with my best effort. Just do your best, forget the rest.....

Diet. On weekdays I get to have a low carb diet. Mostly fruits, veggie salads and wheat breads.. Weekend continues to be a challenge as I don't stay home. My friend in another town eats real food. Greasy, calorie filled and cholesterol packed meals. Fried chicken, afritada, and double chocolate cake.... now if that won't blow your tummy big.. then... there's the soda and beer... hahaha....

so I missed 2 days of my P90X work out... but I'm not giving up
