Made it through the first week of the P90X program. Did have to swap out the rest day because my hip flexors stiffened to such a degree I couldn't stand up straight Thursday.
Today I caught up on the Legs and Back workout. I'm skipping the Ab workout because I did 4 hours of yard work. Figure that's a fair trade off.
I'm using the Daily Plate tool at
Livingstrong.com to track my diet (calories, protein %, carb %, fat %). It has been surprisingly easy to keep within 100 calories of my target.
Not seeing a lot of changes on the scale this first week, but I do think hydration has been a huge factor there. Started the week out a little dehydrated, and I am quite sure that the strength training/building is absorbing a fair amount of the water I am drinking (muscle weight is 70-75% water while fat weight is nearer to 50%).
All in all a good first week. Over did a few things, but recovery has been decent.
