p90x - Day 2

Wow, I slept hard and well last night and woke up exhausted and with a headache. Anyone else experience headaches when starting this nutrition plan? Funny thing is that I don't feel hungry at all, but I do feel my body asking for energy and nutrition...but it's not out of hunger.

Also, now that I have a specific nutrition plan to follow, I'm far less tempted to snack at night out of boredom...I think that added a lot of calories to my daily intake in the past. I'm also thirsty as heck in spite of feeling like I"m taking in a lot of water.

I'll have to measure my water intake more carefully.

Anyway...today was plyometrics. I had a hard time making it through the warmup, I was just totally wasted from yesterday (day 1, work, getting sick at work). I did the first group of 4 exercises, then tried to do modificaitons to the exercises and then just shut it off because I couldn't even do a simple squat without feeling wiped out. Seemed like a dramatic response to what LOOKED like a simple workout, but my energy level today was the total opposite of yesterday, so I think it's all a part of getting used to the whole change in diet & scheduling.

I felt the same way when i started - i can only explain it as off - Keep pushing play and things turn around pretty quickly - i had the EXACT same first day of plyo - Incapable of completing - next week WILL be better.

High protein = high need for water - I don't need to tell you.
