Well, I didn't make it all the way through. Managed to hurt my knee somehow, enough that I couldn't really put any weight on it (makes it hard to do lunges or yoga...). Then I got sick. So a week and a half off, figured I'd just give it a rest.
Yesterday (Saturday the 29th) I started day one over again. I have noticed that I am still sore afterwards, but the exercises didn't seem quite so difficult and I'm not as sore as my original day 1. So here's to me thinking I've built up some muscle strength which is making it easier. The second round I did have the attempt a push up and just collapse on my face into the carpet, so that's something. When I weighed myself on Friday it was 242.2. Here's hoping to get that down to the 220 range.
Also, I signed up for an account on Fitocracy ( www.fitocracy.com ). An interesting site that you log your workouts, and it gives you points. Having done some bench presses this week (trying to build up a bit of strength before the chin/pull up & push up routine that was yesterday) I managed to hit level 2. Logging the P90X routine jumped me straight from a level 2 to a level 4. I'll be ready to stop grinding on these sewer rats pretty quickly if I'm able to keep this up.
