First day

Well I was rather excited yesterday when I saw that "Delivered" text when tracking my packages.  I had gotten an Iron Gym Extreme pull up bar, a fancy new scale that I hope would actually give semi-accurate weight, and of course my p90x DVD's. 

Previously I had bought a new set of bars for weights and a really nice yoga mat and I had just gotten the stink of rubber out of it so I was excited to begin.  Well after setting up my scale to recognize me. I put together my pull-up bar.  It was an easy task and  was trying to put it up when I found that my door frame was too thick.  I had in part expected this but was still rather bummed. But I found I could modify it so I set off for the hardware store.

After much struggle - mainly with trying to drill through the pipes with a cordless drill that doesn't hold it's charge.  I put it back together and got it installed.  It is a little bit more wobbly but it held nicely.  I hung from it for awhile to make sure and after a bit of settling of the house and frame it was rock solid.  That didn't help me to be able to do any pull-ups however and the wide grip p90x fit test recommends I couldn't even budge myself.

Anyway that was yesterday today I did my measurements and weight:
Weight 193.6
Fat 19.1%
Muscle 38.5%
Chest 44
Waist 43
Hips 41
Right Thigh 26
Left Thigh 25.5
Right Arm 16
Left Arm 15.5

I apologize for any mental trauma these pictures may cause.

 My biggest challenge however awaits.
