p90x - Day 5 Back and Legs

Today was the first workout I've made it through without getting the "bonk" feeling part way, yay! And I'm shocked at how well I did with the leg exercises.

The pullups felt really, really good and I really pushed it at the end with the last set of switch grip pullups. I'm still using a chair, and will for awhile, but getting the muscles moving and stretching my lats feels great.

I discovered with the diet that I was underestimating my egg white measurements by about 2/3s! I was misreading the carton label as well as the recipe. So I got a little more calories in this morning than I had been.

Food is still challenging...preparing it all and having it ready to take to work. It's getting better slowly.

As far as progress? I actually think that I've lost 1/2 inch from my chest, waist and hips so far...but that could just be user error with the tape measure, so I'm going to withhold my glee. No obvious weight loss so far, but my muscles feel great.
