P90X — Day1

       Well Blogger's image uploader has failed me, but this circuitous webquest makes my mein Kampf visible to you. And yes, by 'Kampf' I'm referring to P90X. So I started the program today and learned a couple of things — 1. Can't is no longer in my vocabulary, replace it with "I presently struggle with" and 2. Pull ups are like really really hard — read number two back again in a valley girl accent and you may understand that P90X is as mentally taxing to the user as it is physically draining. In all fairness I really enjoyed day 1. Tony, the coach, is very motivating and the workouts are set up so that the hour goes by quickly. By the end, I was exhausted but felt like a million bucks. Chest preening, I walked over to the mirror only to be stared down by my man-boobs that I am presently struggling with. Chest deflated, I snapped back to the reality that this is meant to be a 90 day program. Day 1 down, only 89 to go.
