Day 1 of 90

So today was my first day of following the p90x fat shredder diet and day one of the workout.  I am feeling a little intimidated by the workout but I think that the instructor is very encouraging.  I set low goals for the first day so I wouldn't get burnt out. I'm not sure what was harder for me the workout or sticking to the meal plan.  I was most worried about the pull ups, I can't do one. But I used a chair for support to build up strength so hopefully I will be able to do one next week.  I'm thinking it may be kind of rough getting out of bed in the morning, I'm thinking I'm gonna be a little sore - I hope that doesn't effect tomorrows workout.  When it came to the diet I was most worried about snacking while at work.  Last week I ate 4 or 5 nutty buddies just because I knew I wouldn't be able to eat them.  Today I did pretty well and just kept myself busy to avoid snacking. 
I spent all last week feasting on my most favorite foods that I knew I wouldn't be able to eat during the next 90 days.  I must say that after dwelling on not being able to eat at such places as Taco Bell, McDonald's, Dino's Pizza, (the list could really go on and on) I have come to the realization that the food at these places and my relationship definitely isn't the healthiest.  When I first was thinking about doing this diet and workout, I kept thinking about when I would next eat my favorite candy or go on an eating binge at one of the restaurants I mentioned earlier.  After doing the workout and seeing how out of shape I am and how eating healthy isn't as bad as I would have thought, I am now thinking maybe I won't be so quick to get back into old habits.  Of course I say that now and it is only day one and there is a box of icecream sandwiches in the fridge that I think my parents bought just to taunt me. 
I must say that I'm not really over weight and most people wouldn't refer to me as over weight.  The best way to describe my body would be not toned or out of shape I guess.  I have the typical problem areas that most women share.  I would really like to tone up my stomach and butt, oh and the love handles of course.  I'd really like to just tone up and in the process form healthy eating habits. During this hour any other night I would be tapping into the candy stash next to my bed - tonight I'm snacking on almonds. My candy stash was donated to my nieces and nephew - unwillingly.  I considered eating every last piece but before I even had the chance it was already gone; my mom gave it to them while I was at work. 
I stuck to the diet fairly well today - I just wasn't sure what to drink.  In the diet book the only drink I saw was skim milk.  Could someone please tell me the differences between skim milk and fat free milk? or is it the same thing? Also could someone suggest other drinks.  I drank the skim milk and water all day.  I would really like some other options.  Another thing I was wondering was can you skip meals or snacks.  I skipped lunch today and the snack - but I guess the snacking now would count? 
Well that's about it for day one - stay tuned to see what day 2 had instore.
