P90X is kicking my butt...and i like it :-)

     Okay, so the hubby and I decided to try P90X to get ourselves in shape. We are in a state wherein we feel like we are really getting old and sedentary with our family and work life. If there is a chance that we are going to be able to be buffed and energized at the prime of our lives, this going to be that time.
     We are on day 3 now and Tony Horton, with this revolutionary workout he's doing to us, is definitely kicking our behinds. I have to say I am loving it. So far we have done the chest and back training, plyometrics, arms and shoulders, and the abripperX. Yes, we cheat on some of the routines...take a break longer than we should...but you know what, with my husband and I together, we will pull through this. I guess that's one of the reasons why I am loving this program. One, we are doing this together. Two, we are doing it at the comfort of our home, and three, there are no other people around to judge us. 
     I am slowly changing our diet too. Lesser carbs...lesser soda...a little more protein...vitamins and minerals...more water intake. That is hard to do for  hard core diet coke drinkers and rice eaters you know. I don't know if I should purchase the P90x nutritional supplements since they are quite expensive. Maybe I'll look around for some cheaper alternatives with the same nutritional value.
    Right now, muscles are aching but I already see some physical results as early as the third day. My husband's arms and shoulders are popping up. I love how my arm muscles are showing while I was working out today. Tomorrow...yoga!
    Oh yes, we took "before" pictures. They are not for public viewing for right now since they are really embarrassing. :-) Will keep you guys posted.
