P90x Day 2 and other things too!

Well, I have survived day two, barely. My legs were like jello when I woke up this morning. Walking down the stairs to leave the building and then up the stairs to my first class was brutal. It's a good hurt, though. I am so ready to stick to this workout plan.
I don't really want to talk too much about it today, though. I mean, I worked out my shoulders and arms. haha. No excitement there.
I registered for classes today. I am taking some hard classes next semester as well as some fun ones. I am taking genetics, physics, a science methods class, astronomy and fly fishing. Yup. Fly fishing. I am pretty excited about it.
Also, as I never ever ever update this, I got sort of a promotion at my job here on campus. I went from being a resident assistant (RA) to a lead resident assistant (LRA). I have more responsibilities and get paid more. I also get to live in an apartment, which I am pretty happy about. I am going to be on a floor with is all science, technology, engineering and math majors (STEM). They will (should) all be upper classmen, so hopefully some of the issues I have had to deal with this year won't arise next year. I'm just pretty excited about the entire situation in general.
I am also currently trying to figure out my summer plans. I don't even know where I am staying yet, let alone where I am working. I hope to have that all figured out within the next couple of weeks.
I am having a really hard time concentrating right now when all I really want to do is sleep. Haha. That's p90 for you.

P90x, Day 1

Yeah. I tried it two summers ago, and today, I started it up again. P90x. If you have never done it, you don't know what you're missing. It's intense. Really intense. I'm always panting and sweating in less than 5 minutes. I don't know what happened last summer, but I worked out one day (yes one. I did laps in a pool) but I lost more weight (and fat) than I did the summer before when I did a mix of P90x and weight training.
Well, I went an entire semester and the only thing that I lifted at all was my grades. Haha. It was also probably the most stressful semester of my life. Long story short...I put on all of the weight I lost over the summer. I'm not happy about it because, well, I looked better without it.
I have made a vow to eat better and stick to this workout plan. I am giving myself one "off day" a week, and the other 6 days, I am going to push it hard with P90x. I am going to try to post on here as well to keep my motivation up. I will not be posting progress pics, though. I am a little too self conscious for that.
I am also going to eat better. I make smoothies (or eat a peanut butter sandwich) for breakfast. I plan to stick with that.
So, what's on deck for tomorrow? Shoulders and arms and ab ripper x. I am thinking that I will get up early to do shoulders and arms and then do ab ripper x in the afternoon.
Wish me luck!!
