Agent Incorrigible's blog post - End of week one... I'm still alive!

Made it through the first week of the P90X program. Did have to swap out the rest day because my hip flexors stiffened to such a degree I couldn't stand up straight Thursday.

Today I caught up on the Legs and Back workout. I'm skipping the Ab workout because I did 4 hours of yard work. Figure that's a fair trade off.

I'm using the Daily Plate tool at Livingstrong.com to track my diet (calories, protein %, carb %, fat %). It has been surprisingly easy to keep within 100 calories of my target.

Not seeing a lot of changes on the scale this first week, but I do think hydration has been a huge factor there. Started the week out a little dehydrated, and I am quite sure that the strength training/building is absorbing a fair amount of the water I am drinking (muscle weight is 70-75% water while fat weight is nearer to 50%).

All in all a good first week. Over did a few things, but recovery has been decent.
