Health Challenge and P90x Day 4

I need to start posting everyday on how I am doing in both the health challenge and P90x.  I am doing really well! I have been eating healthy, drinking a lot of water, and exercising to the P90x videos.  On Monday I did the P90x fit test, which I really should have done on Saturday and started the first workout video on Monday... oh well. On Tuesday I did the Plyometrics video which was a killer on my legs and butt. The whole day yesterday I thought I was supposed to do the yoga video but it was actually Shoulders & Arms and the Ab Ripper. I was pretty disappointed that it wasn't yoga.  But it was a really good workout.  My whole body feels sore this morning.  I'm writing down my scores, though they won't make much sense because I forgot to write down the exercise I was doing but they were all arm exercises and I wrote them in the order the video did them, so it's more for me to come back to and see how I am doing as I go along through P90x.  Here they are:

In the P90x program I will do this work out again for the next two Wednesdays. I am excited to see how I improve.  I would have liked to use the 10 pound weights but my husband was using them because we only have 5, 10, and 25 pound weights.  I guess we need to get some 20 pound weights.

It was a good arm and shoulder workout. It is good to have a break from cardio and do weights.  After that I did the Ab Ripper and... IT WAS INSANE!!! My abs were screaming! When they say ripper, they mean ripper. I felt like my abs were ripping apart. It hurt so much! But it is so worth it..

I am ready for yoga today.  It is an hour and a half so I will do it after the kids go to bed. It will be so good to stretch out all my muscles.  Whoo!
