Blah! Yea that about sums up today. Probably cause I havent been able to sleep the past 3 days, to which I've gotten a total of.. drum roll please..... 6 hours sleep. Yes 6 hours sleep in 3 days time. I dont know why just keep tossing and turning for hours. It sucks. But hopefully after todays workout Ill be able to solve the lack of sleep problem.

Anyways... Onto my results which were 'ehhh'

Standard Pushups
1- 24 started out great
2- 9 second time around couldnt even do half. Then again there was 11 exercises between the first round and second.

Wide Front Pull Ups
1- 1 yup one big old pull up. I couldnt get the resistance bands quick enough before they finished
2- 20 with the green restistance band felt much better after this compared to doing 1 earlier

Military Pushup
1- 13 You could see Im already going down hill just 3 workouts in.. not good.
2- 12 using the 'knees version'

Reverse Grip Chin Ups
1- 18 with the green resistance band
2- 25 with the green resistance band

Wide Fly Push Ups
1- 16 these were easier but it was just after a water break
2- 15 but did them as the 'knees version'

Closed Grip Overhand Pullups
1- 25 with the green resistance band
2- 18 with the green reistsance band

Decline Pushups
1- 12 felt good doing these
2- 6 - more on this later

Heavy Pants
1- 27 with 20 pound weight
2- 12 with 25 pound weight

Diamond Pushups
1- 16
2- 16 while doing the 'knees version'

Lawnmowers
1- 20 with 25 pound weight with both arms
2- 20 with 25 pound weight with both arms

Dive Bomber Pushups
1- 6
2- 7

Back Flys
1- 12 with 20 pound weight
2- 13 with 20 pound weight


So those are my results as to what I was able to do. Read the 'decline pushups second set more on this later' Well right before I was about to do those I was feeling dizzy and light headed I look down at my heart rate monitor and it was at 191. I'm going to go with thats not safe or good. Im not positve but in yesterdays fit test while doing the 2 minutes of jumping jacks I only got up to 180. So since it was at 191 and I wasnt feeling so great I paused the dvd and layed flat on my back to take a break. To be honest Im not sure how long of a break I took. Id imagine it was 20 minutes or so because numerous songs had gone by in the playlist and I dont remember hearing them. But I started up again when the sweat had stopped running down my face and body and my heart was back around the 100 mark. I finished off the few exercises and then did the ab ripper x which was a joke. A joke as in my performance cause I certainly didnt bring it to ab ripper x. It seems I may have 'brought' it to much for the first part of the dvd. I guess I need to work my way up to giving 100% cause I certainly felt really crappy earlier. It could be a mix of no sleep and finally exercising, who knows. Ill take it a little easier with tomorrow workout though. But no pain no gain is what they say right?

I feel I 'brought it' but I also had to 'bring it' twice since I had to take a break. But Tony says thats okay. Im sure others have had to take a break. That just means I have a goal the next time chest and back comes aroud and thats not only to improve on my numbers but to also finish it without having to take that break do to not feeling to great.

I can actually feel my soreness in my arms/shoulders. When I put my hands over my head I feel it, already, and I just finished about 90 minutes ago. This is going to be fun.

So there we have it day 1 complete only 89 to go!

Keep Pressing Play and Bring it!

    day 1 down... had to slow down a lot in 2nd half and gave about 40% for ab ripper x.. nausea and wheezing was a bit too much.

    New Goal: finish one of these tapes without feeling like i'm going to puke

    It's a good thing you were smart about not feeling well and took a break. No doubt your lack of sleep contributed to this and possibly your change in diet. It's a good lesson for all of us to "bring it" but not be stupid about it.

    Day 1....chest/back/triceps. Shaky after the workout......feel somewhat headachy due to all the work on the upper back, shoulders & triceps are feeling tight. Or maybe it was the ab ripper that made my neck tight. I'm a little bummed as my running group didn't meet today...would have been nice to get both workouts in. Oh well. Eating program is going well....I like to load up on protein in the am as we usually have a bigger meal early. Keeps me from being so famished all day. The workout is great; not so good at watching what I eat.

    As you can see, WAY behind on my posting! And, I my program does not call for the chest/back/tri routine until week 3. So.....on to KenpoX That was pretty good, did that one yesterday and today I did legs...tough one for me. The eating program is going well; not a good dieter so I'm happy I have not fallen off the wagon!
