P90X - Day 1

Week 1, Day 1

From a nutrition standpoint, I'm at Level 2 (based on my weight) which means eating 2400 calories a day. That's going to be difficult! I couldn't even eat all of breakfast this morning!! And now, I'm still too full to work-out!! I need to eat smaller more frequent meals, perhaps.

Workout:
Core Synergistics
48 min. (did not do the bonus)
burned 312 cal.
HR max: 157
HR ave: 130


Diet:
B: 8 egg white cheese scramble (only ate 2/3), 1 c. sliced strawberries, 5 oz. cottage cheese
S1: CLIF Builder's (20 g.) Protein bar, FRS Plus
L: Mixed green salad with tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots & asparagus with fat free honey dijon dressing.
D: Whole Wheat Couscous with saute'd shallots & baby portobellos & sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus, and Prime Stake (meat substitute).
S2: 1 c. sliced strawberries, 5 oz. cottage cheese, 1 Light String Cheese stick.

According to FitDay, I've eaten a little over 1400 calories today. I need to add an additional 1000 calories ... somehow! When I'm eating "junk food" (processed foods) I am able to put away a large number of calories, but, when it's "quality food" I have a harder time! Today, I'm not going to sweat the calories too much ... I only burned an additional 300+ calories with the workout. But, it's definitely an area that I will need to work on and improve.

On the other hand, who could eat an 8 egg white scramble with 1 c. strawberries & 12 oz. cottage cheese in one sitting? Really.

Well, then there's the protein issue ... today, my food categories were pretty mush split across the board ... P/C/F: 37/39/25. So, I guess that will be another area of improvement!

Goals for tomorrow:

1. Weight Watcher's meeting (not focus on the weight ... I will need to eat before the meeting, and if I work-out, I'll need to drink plenty of water, as well).
2. CardioX workout in the morning before WW meeting.
3. Stay on target with the food. Food focus will be to increase protein percentage.
