Program begins in 2 Days!

Okay, so I received my P90X package today! With my work schedule the way it is I will start the program on Friday with Thursday's being the rest day. I work 12-8 on Thursdays, I don't have quality workouts early in the day, and I really don't like working out that late in the night. 

Yesterday I borrowed my friend Jason's Nutrition Guide so that I could shop for groceries that would fit the plan and get my supplements. I went to Vitamin Shoppe and picked up a 5 lb. barrel of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein (Double Chocolate...not a fan of Vanilla). I also needed to pick up a Recovery Drink that would be comparable to the one designed for P90X. The clerk suggested a product called Accelerade which he said had similar ingredients to the P90X Recovery Drink and it was the one his friend was using for his P90X. Total sale of about $85...buying supplements sucks. I dropped an additional $80-$100 at Wal-Mart for groceries which were straight out of the meal plans. 

Today's Meals:

Breakfast: Toasted Wheat Bagel with Peanut Butter and cup of Berry Juicy Juice
1st Snack: 2 Pieces of Low Fat String Cheese
Lunch: Turkey Sandwich on Wheat bread (2 slices Tomato, 2 leaves of Lettuce, Mustard) and an Orange
2nd Snack: Celery sticks with Peanut Butter
Dinner: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast with Cajun Rub. Peas and glass of water. 

The meal plan is really easy to follow and I prefer it because I have a hard time planning out my meals in general...which is why I lived on carry out and fast food for a long time. I never once got tired from overeating and crashing. I still think I need coffee in the morning though, but I will drink it black from now on. Tomorrow is another day of work and more of this meal plan. I am going to do some stretches with a piece of rope tomorrow in preparation for Day 1 of P90X which is going to kick my ass if everything I've heard is true. And yeah...I can't wait!
