Day 30 (Plyo) when you are sick as @#$%

Well, one third of the way done!  Took some 30 day pics...probably won't post any until I've done the full 90.  Measured my waist and I'm down just under an inch.  That is fine as long as I'm not losing weight in other areas...actually I'd like to gain weight elsewhere.  I picked up some high protein snacks to try to replace the Cokes...maybe actually increase calories, but with GOOD calories...ones that can build muscle and not just fat.  In the upcoming days I'll be snacking on yogurt, hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, tuna, etc.  I am really focusing on nutrition through the rest of the 90 days (and on after that).

I'm proud of myself for today.  Allergies are killing me...it is like a BAD cold.  I wanted to do Plyo this morning but I felt like hell.  I came home early from work, caught a nap and had another slot to try it.  It was then or never.  And I made it.  At several points I wanted to die.  At one point I think I actually did die for a few seconds.  But I soldiered on.  Actually, I did better than I ever have at several moves.  I got deeper and jumped higher.  I was able to do the rock star hops for the first time.  I was able to touch the floor or my feet on several moves where I previously just got to my lower legs.  When it was all said and done, I burned 1059 calories.  I'm still pretty exhausted, but I'm glad I did it. 

Tomorrow is the first day of back and biceps.  After that, I will have performed every routine I will do in P90X at least once.
