Day 2 - P90X Challenge - Plyometrics

Today I was aware that I had had a good workout last night. I could feel the muscles in my chest and upper back/shoulders, but it was not incapacitating in any way. I woke up really tired this morning and could have used a nap after work but thats not all that odd (I get up at 5:30am and have a long commute).

Food: 
Breakfast: Orange 
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Salad
Snack: Very small piece of banana nut bread
Dinner: Steamed rice and veggies (post-work out)

*Water all day with FRS supplement added in.

Exercise:
P90X Plyometrics - "drills designed to connect strength with speed to produce power"; basically jump training; lots of lunges and jumps, really working the thighs.

How Did I Do?
For my second day, I think I did great. I hung in there with almost all of the drills- modifying of course when my body hit fail stage- and keeping hydrated.
I definitely needed my knee brace (I broke my right knee a few years ago) and may have even benefited from having both knees supported. There is a lot of impact in this session- I actually had to double up on my sports bra to keep the girls from getting injured! 
I sweated a good amount and could really feel how good the workout was. 

I really like how Tony keeps you moving, is encouraging, mixes it up, and lets you see him sweat. The workouts aren't easy- and he knows that. He keeps you motivated.

    I was looking at your food entries for the day, and was wondering if there is a particular reason you go light on breakfast? I always heard to eat your starch and fill up on breakfast more. Is it different if you are taking the FRS supplement?
