Finally Recovered...

Okay, well I knew I was out of shape, but WOW!  I did the first video in the P90X series "Chest & Back" on Tuesday morning.  I know I totally sucked on the push ups - but WTF is up with the "Dive Bomber Push-up?"  Whomever invented that one should seriously be shot!   Anyhow, the back exercises we okay, I used the bands, as I didn't have my pull up bar unpacked from the box yet (yes I know, it's been a month since I got it).  Okay workout finished. 

I had some extra time & a little bit of energy left so decided to do the "Ab Ripper X" that was at the end of the DVD - 20 minutes of Ab exercises - no problem... or so I thought!  After much grunting, moaning and cursing, I finally made it through the longest 20 minutes of my life.  Those jerks on the DVD make it look so bloody easy!  Fooled me! 

Next morning, was a little sore, upper body/arms mostly, which was expected - then on Thursday: OMG, what is this pain?!?  I haven't been this sore E-V-E-R!  I thought I was going to die - my triceps were so sore I barely even lift my arms high enough to put a shirt on!  Okay, I had a visit with my friend, Aleve, and things were so-so for the rest of the day.  Thought I would take it easy and put off my workout for that day.  Then came Friday - Holy crap - I think I pulled my groin!  Man, it felt like someone had ripped my legs out of their hip sockets and tore whatever muscles there are down there.  Soooooo painful! 

It this for real?  Does anybody else feel this sore after doing a P90X workout?  I thought I had a high pain tolerance, as I've given birth twice (once with no drugs) and if I managed that then this seriously couldn't be that bad.  So this week has pretty much been a write-off for exercise.  I managed to do fairly well eating, my only cheat was a Timmy's Double Double yesterday.

So back to square one & will be trying the "Plyometrics" video tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Tonight I will also be re-writing my goals as I need to remember why I am subjecting myself to this torture, lol!
