Oooh NOW I feel it

Yesterday I started P90X and I did the Chest and Back, followed by the Ab Ripper X.  Well I am pleased to say that doing it modified I was able to complete ALL of Chest and Back.  I kept doing the modified pull ups thinking "I don't feel anything!  This isn't even hard"  So I tried challenging myself more.  I did struggle on doing the push ups.  I had to do them on my knees and even though my numbers were small I did more than I thought I could, and I'm glad I pushed myself that far. 
After that I did the Ab Ripper X which WAS hard for me.  A lot of the moves I couldn't do, I just didn't have the strength.  I did what I could though.  After that I drank my recovery drink (which was surprisingly delicious!!  Tasted like an orange creamsicle smoothie.)
Today I woke up feeling a little bit, but by this afternoon, especially after doing Plyometrics I am not going to lie, I hurt.  It's definitely a good hurt, but I'm shocked at how much I feel it in my arms from yesterdays work out.  My legs are weak from todays workout, which I do and do NOT look forward to doing again.  I want to see if I can do it better next time, but on the other hand I know it kicked my butt.
I am constantly reminding myself that the first 30 days are going to be the hardest.  However 90 days from now I am going ot look back and feel SO good about what I did, and its important for me to finish this because I think that often I give up on things too easily.   Unfortunately I WOULD classify myself as a quitter, and I want to change that habit into a habit of completing things no matter how difficult because I made myself a promise.
