Well I did it.
Day 1 complete.
It was not as easy as I thought it was going to be.
Honestly, I thought 3 sets of 12 per exercise, I got this.
However, by the 3rd set for a few of them I was literately falling on my face (Narrow push ups).
Now don't count me out yet.
I did have a few great sets: tricep pull downs and bench press were completed with ease and in total I lifted 4,140bs in an hour.
Not bad, not bad at all.

I'm in this, and still have the newbie adrenaline.
As for the food, I've stated in my intro to the challenge that I am using her meal plan as a guidline for my diet. And even though I upped my calories to 1400 I couldn't eat that much!
I got myself to 1300 but man I was so full!
Mostly because I ate a TON of protein: 130g. when my normal was around 75g.
I know it's important to eat a lot in this first phase to help with muscle building so I will keep it up and eat...fun concept right!
